A Cow Worth Owning.

Some cows may give better milk, but
no COW in the world gives so much Of
It as Josephine, an eight-year-old Hol-
stein Fresian, the queen of the herd of
the Missouri state college of agriculture.
Just now Josephine is undergoing a test
to determine how much milk she will
give in year. Having already brok
EN- all the otner tactical records it is a
pretty safe bet that Josephine win es-
tablish a clear title to the heavy weight

it safe for some time.
C0lanthe 9th johanna. owned in Ros-
endale, Wisconsin, used TO be the prize
COW, but Josephine has beaten every
one of her records. In the first six
months of the present test Josephine
produced 1884 pounds OF milk against
1882 pounds for Colanthe In one
day Josephine produced 1902 ponds of
milk against Colanthes 1906; in one
month Josephine produced 1900 pounds
against the Wisconsin cows 2,783 and
she has beaten the Wisconsin cows

six months.

cows give ten quarts of milk day, but
Josephine gives enough to fill fifty four
quart bottles. Giving the average per-
son two-thirds Of pint milk day she
could supply hotel with l65 boarders.
The butter from her milk would be
enough to supply forty boarders three
times day Naturally with such a
high production, the milk given by Jo-
sephine is inferior to that given by the
average dairy COW, although it meets
and exceeds the legal requirements of
butter fat. 1t is estimated that her
milk will produce a revenue Of 81 200 to

The isthmus of Tehuantepee is, with
the exception of Panama, the narrow
est neck of land between the two great
oceans, and across this neck a British
contractor, with the vision OF prophet,
has built a railway which is destined
to threaten seriously the financial sue
cess of cur much heralded canal. The
Tehuantepec route between New York
and San Francisco, remember, is near
~ thirteen hundred miles shorter than
that by way Of Panama, and to cover
this additional distance the average
freight steamer will require from four
to five days. Now the Tehuantepec
National railway not only will, but does,
unload a cargo, carry it across the 18th
mus, and reload it in forty eight hours.
As it will probably require a day for a
steamer to pass through the canal, this
means net saving of from three to
four days by the Tehuantepec route,

EXPERTS FOR
TARIFF WORK
Political Service Not TO be
Considered
TAFT MAKES THIS CLEAR
In Definite Statement-This in Line with
the Boards Observation-Disclosures
Never Made for Political
Reasons.
TAFT MAKES THIS CLEAR

Washington, Oct. 2S-President Taft
has emphatically confirmed the policy Of
the tariff board in making non-political
appointments to the staff of the board
in letter written or at least shown
to recent applicant who recommend
ed himself partly on the ground that
he had rendered the Republican party
service in the past. The incident has
to do with the selection OF experts, up
on whose investigations and good judg-
ment the merits of the reports to be
made to the president must depend in
large degree. Says the president in the
closing lines OF his letter concerning the
application referred to;
/ have directed my office to indicate
in all communications on the general
subject Of applications employed as ex-
perts to be employed entirely regard
less OF their services to any particular
political party.
1t can be said that the policy of the
board has been exactly that outlined by
the president, hence mis- letter IS not
20 be construed as a criticism Of the
tariff board for any action OF the past.
The board has recognized the natural
interest Of senators and representatives
in appointments to the service and has
realized also the pressure put upon mem
bers of Congress by applicants for posi-
tons. The board has welcomed friend
ly words OF recommendation from mem
bers and often has requested clerks and
others to inform their representatives
that their names were before the board
for action, but in no case has an APP
pointment been made purely upon POI
litieal grounds. President Taft, as is
well known, regards the tariff board and
the new method of revision proposed as
one Of the grcateSt accomplishments
of his administration. He is extremely
jealous OF the good name OF the board
and is determined that it snail stand
as free OF political bias as the inter-
state or civil service commission.

"The family heard Of these rumors
with amusement and awaited his home

in the attic and, moreover, taught a
younger brother all he knew. He, in
turn, became drummer in the high school
orchestra, but soon the boys fancy took
a melodio fight and he became the own
er of a clarinet. The younger brother
began to throw longing eyes on the
cello, procured one and in short time
the clarinet and cello began to sing
duets in the attic and, later, trios with
the piano, in the parlor, for company.
"Now these boys did not grow up and
become renowned musicians, but they
acquired a proficiency that enabled them
to play with pleasure for themselves
and others. Through their awakened
interest and understanding of music,
they gained one OF life's greatest assets,
