peveIopment Of the Dairy Cow.

The present dairy cow with her
wonderful capacity for giving milk has
been developed from an ancestor that
gave milk during only a few months of
the year and then gave 1t in small
quantities. The original COW compel
led her calf to begin eating grass at
an early age and gradually decreased
her flow till, when the winds of
autumn blew, the calf was making his
own living from the dry grasses. Man
has taken this animal and has devel
oped in her capacity for milk giving
several times as great as was found
in her in the wild state. People talk
about letting nature take her own
methods. but what would have hap
pened to the dairy COW If she had
been left to nature? We know by
what Is now the condition of cows in
lands where no effort has been made
to develop them. They give pint or
a quart Of milk per day. except in the
flush of milk-giving after the birth Of
a calf The development OF the dairy
cow shows what can be done and
points to still greater possibilities.

Taft Gives Answer To
Some Bryan Questions

I s:pEASHINGTON. April 1l.-Recent-
5ly while. upon his continuous campaign
experimenting tour. William ]. Bryan
stopped of in Kansas City long enough
ito make an address. AT that time he
took occasion to PROFOUND certain
questions concerning William H. Taft
3 as to what he stnnds for and what he
would do In regard to certain matters
or public policy.
Herewith appended are some OF the
g.questions which Mr.. Bryan asked, and
sSthe answers of Mr.. Taft. given in each
Instance in his public utterances be-
fore they were propounded by the
Democratic leader:
What does Secretary Taft stand
Efor?'' asks Mr.. Bryan.
GGss One thing which Secretary Taft
Sstands for is well-ordered, well-safe-
Z guarded liberty against State socialism
and government ownership. Said MIR.
Taft in his address in Boston on De-
tcemberE 80. last:
the abuses OF monopoly and dis.
examination cannot be restrained. II the
tconcentrAtion OF wealth made posi-
4 BILE by such abuses continues and in
creases. and 1t Is made manifest that
s&under the system OF individunlism and
private property the tyranny and OPP
gs7pressionS Of nm oligarchy of wealth
cannot be avoided. then socialism will
triumph and the Institution OF private
sSnropertyS will perish. The administra-
ton hns been thus far successful in
Showing that dangers from Individual
ism can be effectively regulated, and
that the abuses in the exercise of prl-
!: iyate property can be restrained. Thus
N great conservative victory has been
won and the coming of socialism has
been stayed. 4
The question which you have ulti-
ssniately to meet is not whether we shall
Z eturnE to q condition OF unregllutcd
arnilways and unregulated trusts. but
lis whether: we shall maintain strict
Z system of regulation of railways and
trusts, &ors whether We shall turn the
country over to the advocates of gov
5sernment ownership and State social
s Ism. Any one who seeks rietrograde
a.step{ from the policy. Of the administers
Ftion is blind to every political sign of

What relief does Secretary Taft
propose to give us from the burdens
which Imperialism has imposed upon
us?" asks Mr.. Bryan.
In his Mckinley birthday nnni, er.
sary speech at Cleveland last January
Mr.. Taft referred to the fact that "tm
perialism." so-called. had added to the
country's trade something like 500.
100000. He added: II do not think
that is Important except as begin

time. SO that merely from the stand
point OF material progress. the mutual

Here epitomized are Mr.. Taft's an.

''Wha: does he propose on the tariff

He agrees to pay the county $4,000 to
aid In changing the. bridge and in re-
turn asks for a right OF way under
the bridge. This is to expire in three
years. s, -
This was the point on which the
parties to the conference almost dis:
agreed. The court has stood firmly
for time limit and the railroad ofH.,
ctals at first did not seem to want to
tie themselves to anything definite.
They assured the court that the road
is to be built just as soon as conditions
are favorable.
After long conference the rail-
road people went to the office OF Cen
eral Frazer where they were accom-
panied by representatives OF the court
During the talk there 1t was agreed
that the proposition as stated above
should be made. This was done and
the court informally agreed to 1t.
Mr.. Schoonmaker stated that the
court could take its time to draw up
an order emhodyIng the contract
and promised to sign 1t when pre-.
sented to him. This will be done at
once and in day or so will be plac-

The conference with the county
court began shortly after one o'clock
and It was attended by large num-
Der of people who are Interested In
the coming OF the road.
The action which has been taken
means that the new bridge is to be
raised to a point high enough for a
railroad to be run under It. The APP
proaclles are to be made much bet
ter, than Mt first suggested and the
Lake Erie will pay the additional
cost. The court did not ask as mucn
money as was offered them and the
agreement Is one which will meet
with the approval OF every tax pay

Ing the matter stated that his road
had invested in the plan Mt least

why his road wants to get into this
