ter grade Of milch cows. We have as
cheap and as efficient feeds as are found
anywhere else in the country; our climate
is just as favorable to high milk produc-
ton as can be found in the east. The
main thing that is lacking is better cows
THE difference in the profits to be de-
rived from different cows is quite remark
able The average cow of Utah probably
does not yield more than 1900 pounds of
milk containing ( per cent of butter fat
This would amount to $50 pounds butter
fat which at (25b twenty-five cents per
pound. would be equivalent to $40 per
year. To compare with this wish to give
some figures relative to the production
of a few herds in a section of Cache
county Utah where the farmers are de-
voting considerable attention to the inn
prOvenent of their dairy stock and where
they have been using pure-bred sires for
several years. One Gairyman with D
cows produced in one year an average of
1850 pounds Of milk and 21l pounds butter
fat per COW, which, at p cents per pound.
would amount to S6f.15. Another with 8
COWS produced an average Of $50 pounds
milk and 3l3 pounds butter fat, at which,
at p cents per pound, would amount TO
SIS 25 Another with cows produced 1900
pounds milk and Ia pounds butter fat in
six months. which, at p cents would
amount to $40. OF more than that which
the average COW would return in one
year woman with one COW delivered
TO the factory in six months 1873 pounds
milk and 261 pounds fat. which brought
her s65.25.
Quite in contrast to these records is
the showing made by a herd Of % cows.
The production of this herd was 2147
pounds milk and 20 pounds butter fat per
COW per year, which. at . cents per
pound. would amount to $3.50. The diff
ference between $3.50 and SIS % is due
mainly to the kind of cows and to a lesser
extent upon the feed and care. One man
is getting not more than market price
for the feed which he supplies TO his
COWS. the other man is getting double the
market price. Another man with Is COWS
produced 1888 pounds milk and 143 pounds

Is reviewed; and, in brief. the bulletin is
a compendium of information which every
dairyman would do well to read
The bulletin. edited by Professor Lewis
a. Merrill, has been so arranged as to
give prominence to interesting articles of
people who have noted the results of
breeding. feeding and means Of care. Ar
ttcies there are which discuss the merits
of the different breeds of thorough bred
cattle-thc Jerseys. the Holsteins the
Gueruseys.- the AyTeshires-a conluara-

are in the main free in themselves from
the deadly statistics which most people
ward off at first glance but, on the other
hand, are written in narrative form.
The Farmers Institutes.
Respecting the farmers institute work.
the pamphlet has a word to say. This sub
ject was given consideration by the re-
cent legislative assembly and met with
encouragement. the testimony being that
farmers institutes are d great factor
in the promotion of intensive farming in
Utah. On this head the bulletin says:
The Farmers Institute work i'm Utah
is done under the direction of the extern
sion department of the state Agricultural
college These institutes have been held
annually in Utah since 1896, the legisla-
ture Of that year having passed an act
placing the management Of the work with
the Agricultural college, and apDropri-
ating 1850 to pay the necessary tTav-
cling expenses and the printing of the an
nual report The work of the extension
department now includes in addition to
the regular institute work, courses in ag-
ricultuTe and domestic science of a week S
duration. these courses being given wher-
ever a fee of $50 is guaranteed. to assist
in defraying the expenses. Several such
schools were held last year. 1t is the aim
to make the subjects discussed ali these
schools meet the special needs of the va
rious localities where they are held At
these schools. separate sessions are held
for the men and women in the forenoon
and afternO Don. these sessions being de-
voted to lectures and demonstrations on
the practical problems of the farm and
the home. The evening sessions are held
con jointly al which there are letters on
subjects of general interest to the COM
munity at large. At these schools the
members Of the Agricultural college fac
ulty. the state board of horticulture and
many prominent. successful aud practical
farmers and housewives are available as
lecturers"
The report shows that 27.l55 attended

these II SOS were men. 1852 women and
1885, at general sessions. showing that
approximately 10 per cent of Utah's pom
ulation-sud these aduits-took an active
interest in the institute meetings. Two

He was removed to St Marks hospi-

That there may be a fracture OF the

vsnced by many, the high fever being
cited as an indication, but if such frac-
ture is present. the question is PROFOUND

a local physician who does not wish his
name used made the following ingenious
explanation for The Herald last evening:
THE skull rests on the backbone OF
spine on a pivotal joint the two portions
of which are known to Psychologists as
the axis and atlas. 1t is barely possible
that when the blow was struck Schrantzs
head was held in a position inclining

In my opinion there could be but one

he could be convicted of any serious
charge, even in the event of Schrantzs
death. The latter, during lucid intervals.
has stated positively that he "butted in
on Wilkinson's conversation and that he
got only what he deserved.
The theory is advanced that possibly
the original injury was not serious. but
that Schrantz during the three hours
wandering that elapsed between the fight
and his removal to the Emergency hos
pital may have become involved in an
other fight and been injured further.
When questioned on this point he states
that he has no recollection of the time

New York March 2S.-Prices Of stocks
moved last week irregularly and hating

to the accompaniment of expressions OF
encouragement from various sources al

pect OF early revival.
While the seeming discrepancy OF the

explanation from the technical conditions
ruling it, the shaping of the price move
ment upward is impressive as an index
of improved reliability Of Improvement TO
come in the general business situation.
Power of Resistance.
While the character Of the operations in
stocks gave no clear indication OF active
steps based on this expectation of ulti-
mate Improvement. there was notable
power of resistance. which argued con-
fidence in exemption from influences of
depression and determination TO hold
securities for better prices 1t was this
that made difficulties for the professional
bears. who had sold stocks short in an
ticipation of q period of liquidating to fol-
low the course of the discussion over the
tariff bill 1t was the best informed Opin-
ion that the demand for stocks came
merely from this uncovered professional
element. and the market was called mar
row and lacking in any broad significance
for that reason.
Opinions of the accredited authorities in
the iron and steel trades were that the
lowering prices had failed to stimulate
any effeCtual demand for products. The
week was filled with reports of intended
further cuts in prices. of lesseninE pro-
auctions by shutting down mills and OF
reduction of wages. The danger in
strikes also entered into the discussion.
