pounds OF butter i'm seven days, with
1.12113 pounds OF butter for the year.
She produced 2,7S1.S6 pounds OF but
ter in thirty-seven months, with
three vigorous calves. The Roy
croft Jacoba bull is one of the most
valuable of the Jersey herd, and $5,-
coo could not separate this bull from
the alfalfa fields of Sidnaw.

the Roycroft sows in this exhibit was
shown last year at the state fairs
of Ohio, Michigan, New York, Mis-
souri,, the American royal livestock
show at Kansas City and the inter-
state livestock at Chicago, competing
with the best herds of the country
and not meeting with a single de-

county fart
a great deal of credit is due the
exhibitors, who have been at no in
considerable sacrifice, assisted m
making this livestock show a sue

tally generous. His exhibit represents
large investment of money and
shipping cattle is always done at a
risk.
Mr.. Prickett had prepared an exhi-
bition herd Of Berkshires to send out
on a six weeks tour of the state
fairs Of the middle west. He has.
from purely unselhsh motives, inter-
rupted this tour for two weeks TO

Indiana Business Men Decidedly Against
Proposal Which They Deem Unfair.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. e,-The recon-

York Legislature opposing the adoption
of the amendment for a Federal income
tax is creating much interest among
finAnciers in this city. Speaking of the
question to-day John p. FrenSel. presi-
dent of the Indiana Trust Company,
expressed opposition to the amendment
and said that he believed from his con-
versations with business men in different
parts of the State that the sentiment
in Indiana is decidedly opposed 70 it.
The trouble with the proposed amend
ment.7 said Mr., Frenzel. -is that it makes
too many exemptions. and many of these
il seems, are made for political reasons
only. We would not object to a law that
would not make determinations in its
enforcement.
exempt. SO that a man OF fam lily who
made only a bare living would not be
further burdened. and then there was
graduated tax on all other incomes, the
law would not be discriminatory, but
would be recognized as fair. But as il
Is now proposed it is not fair A.d it ought
to be beaten in the Legislature"
Mr.. Frenzel has taken come pains TO
find out what the sentiment in Indiana
is, and while there is as yet no organized
movement against the adoption Of the
amendment here there will probably he
