New Haven & Hartford and New Eng
land steamship lines are now the subject
of a special Inquiry by the Committcr on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries under
resolution Of the House of Representa-
tives passed at its last session. The New
York New Haven & Hartford and AL OF
the steamship lines owned, operated or
controlled by IL, have made fun returns
a. required by this committee, besides
which we expect TO make a further state
ment TO the committee when the com
mittee Is ready to hear us.
The financial condition Of the New
York. New Haven e. Hartford Railroad
Company Is now under investigation by
the Interstate Commerce Commission
with a view to determining everything
pertaining to the investments Of our
company In the stocks and securities OF
other companies. The passenger and
freight service and rates are also the
subject of an investigation by the com
mission.
The Interstate Commerce Commission
and the Public Utilities Commission OF
Connecticut have also made and exhaust
i've investigation of the company's track
and roadbed and each commission has
made it's report thereon.
In view Of these investigations 70 which
the company has been and is being sub
jected Ii would seem unnecessary TO
duplicate the work and again require
testimony 10 be produced which ls now
on record and open TO the examination
of any who care 10 make inquiry. It
would, therefore. seem that the time OF
the committee could be saved II the
scope OF the investigation were limited

Find Fortune In Old Shack.

Wilmington firemen were so excited
when they found several thousand dol
lars in frame shack Feb. 2, that they
temporarily stopped fighting blaze.
Fire started in the stable of George
Older. Next door was the shed owned
by William Agster, and the firemen en-
tered the shack with hose. Sudden
ly they came across several old stock
ings tied in rags and containing coins
of all kinds.
Chief Moran took the money to
Agster, who claimed ownership. He
grasped the treasure, which exceeded
$1,000, and then told the firemen there
was an old trunk in the shanty con-
tanning lot more, just how much he
refused to say. Agster declared the
money was safer in the shed than in a
bank.
After the firemen had recovered all
the money, they returned to the stable
to fight the fire there.

CARING FOR COWS IN WINTER
Importance Of Good Shelter In Cold or
Stormy Weather Can Easily Be
Determined by Owner.

The Importance Of good sheltering
in cold or stormy weather for milk
cows can be easily tested by any
owner of them. Let him shelter one
lot overnight and not to feed them;
then feed another lot all they want
and let them remain overnight out
doors In the wind and dampness. We
Will be very much surprised II the
arst lot does not give more milk the
next morning than the second lot.
Many progressive dairymen recog-
nize the importance Of good shelter
Tor their stock-the stock providing
their income. On the other hand,
portance of feeding do not appear to
give the credit to housing. which they
should. Even on farms where there Is
plenty of feed cows fall off greatly
In milk production IL the pasture on
which they are running is exposed to
the cold wind.
Neglect to provide shelter and
warmth causes the physical endurance
Of the cattle to be 30 unnecessarily
taxed that 1t is impossible to produce
the full quantity of milk. Unfortu-
nately-especially with farmers and
villagers who keep only from one to
three cows-a system Of management
prevails which in numerous cases
practically allows the animals to find
their own living. to put up with the
cold Of winter and the unshaded heat
IF summer, and to subsist to con-
siderable extent only on the natural
pasture. There are few parts OF the
world where this system works favor
ably. Treat the cows right and salts
factory results will not be looked for
In vain.
