1t seems to be accepted as a fact
by students Of dairying that the
average COW produces about 100 TO
100 pounds of butter during the
milking season or lacteal period,
and that this about pays Tor The
cost of the feed given her on the
average farm. The real profits of
dairying, therefors, are made from
COWS that give over the average,
just as the profits from corn grow
ing are on crops over the average,
the profits IN both cases being Fo-
portionate to the excess over The
average yield.
It is a very important problem,
haVever, to determine whether this
loWrated yield of the average COW
is due to the COW or the man who
provides her feed and shelter and
does the milking We have been
much impressed with the reports
that have been furnished by tht

haye been bought up from the aver

some of them develop into 300
pound cows, some ESQ, and som,

Weld more or less. In other words
when these COWS are fed right an
sheltered right they do business
Hence we are beginning to conclnd
that the fault is not so much in th
COW as In the dairyman; thong
there are come cows of such pre-
nounced beef type that if you in
prove their feed they will simpl
take on fat. There are other COW

ago and IN due time was presented
to the proper church authorities,
who gave their approval to the pro-
position. as it ia the policy of the
church to contime the wards to mem
berships Of about 500 or 900. The,
dividing line of the ward having
been agreed upon and other prelimt
mary arrangements having been
completed, the selection of bishop

important office. AT the meeting

USE OF COTTON SHEETING
The Exclusive Use Of Such Sheeting to
Cover Cotton Bales Would Make Il
Market for one Million Bales OF
Cotton.

To the Editor: A suggestion made
by n OF our most successful rn9r-
chants a few days ago in regard to the
use of cotton sheeting for covering Of
our cotton bales and also for holding
our guards, struck me as q most prac-
teal idea, and one which l am sur
pllSed u different agricultural orgar-
lzatlons don't take hold of and make
a practical application. 1t is thought
that the exclusive use of such material
would consume at least 1000 OG bales
of cotton and would take that much
off the market. Now these organize
tlons are not of much use to the farm
erS II they are no made practical. If
farmers would bind themselves to use
nothing but cotton Sheeting to wrap
their bales up. and cotton bags to hold
their guanOS, then We might look for

That He Considers the Plaintiff in

Isaac N. Mills again stepped into the.

ing and from DR.. Amos T. Baker, act.
ing superintendent of the Matteawan
asylum obtained the clearest state
ment yet expressed on the stand at
the present proceedings regarding the
mental condition of the slayer OF
Stanford White. The result of JUS,
tice Mills questioning might be
|. claimed as an advantage by either
side. The witness said that he did
not consider the opportunities he had
to examine the prisoner sufficient to
permit him to form a satisfactory con.
clusion. Nevertheless the witness de.
clared his belief that the prisoner was
now insane and that Thaw's release
would be a ena to public safety.
Justice Mills began with the OBJ.
s%ervation that he considered DR.. Baker
an extremely important witness, since
DR.. Baker was a state officer and
therefore supposedly free from bias.
''What is your position?" asked JUS.
tice Mills. "Is it that you have
reached from your study Of this case
and observation of the man a full
and firm conviction that he is insane,
or is it that yoM have not had stuff,
cient opportunities to study that prob
lem and reach such a conclusion, one
way or the other?"
Considers Thaw Insane.
1--WE have had a limited exafnipa
ton, from which we consider the man
insane replied DR.. Baker.
"Do you consider that limited ex
animation sufficient to reach a full
firm conclusion as to his condition.
"No, sir" !
"You had him. under observation
eleven months. I don't understand
why that was not sufficient"
