PHdsNIX BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, JANUARY 49, 1912

This standard must be laid aside. 1t
has been said that the bull is half the
herd; he Is the whole herd. Care should
be taken to buy bull from high milk
producing COW. Then, having selected
the best cows and disposed of the rest,
the standard of the herd will be raised.
1t Is economy to pay more for bull
than one feels he can afford to pay. At
ter a bull has been kept two years 1t Is
best to change, as by that time his own
offspring are coming on. In order to
avoid the large expense of buying a good
bull every two years 1t is good plan
for several farmers to club together and
buy several bulls, say five, and exchange
with each other every two years, in this
way making the cost of one bull do for
10 years.

IDENTIFICATION DIFFICULT.

Halifax, n. S, May 1.-The work of
Identifying the THAMES unnamed
dead is proving almost as difficult as
their recovery from the Atlantic. The
name of not a single passenger who
persisted had been added to the list
of reclaimed. tonight. Louis Hoffman,
announced as identified. today, was
found to have appeared previously III
drafts of the identified, SO that with
the exception of three members of the
crew, the nameless are as much of a
mystery as when brought to shore.
Trinkets and belts give suggestions of
the names of the others, most of
whom were of the ships company.
AS nearly all of the bodies for which
relatives came here have been turned
over to them, it seems likely that a
majority of the 100 brought in by the
Mackay- Bennett, many of them iden-
titled will be buried in Halifax II
had been proposed that the dead be
kept a fortnight but conditions are
such that prompt interment will be
imperative and it is planned to have
a general funeral, on Friday night.
In order that relatives may have as
surance that their dead were cherish
ed as long as possible. photographs of
bodies We're taken, today, together
with physical measurements and de-
scriptions of clothing and trinkets.

addressing the Opposition. AS you
now admit. Are you going to be so
mad as to repeat your error? The
Irish people have shown as whole
that they are the last people To break
their pledge or word, and we are
right in trusting the responsible Lead

men,"
William O'Rrien. leader of the In
dependent Nationalists. said that in
his opinion the bill was one on which
all sections OF Irishmen could unite
in supporting in it's Fundamental
structure and principles. but it would
be arrant humbug to pretend that it
settled anything. except reconciliation
between the two countries However,
the fact that the bin was elastic and
experimental and could be improved
in accordance with the lessons of
practical experience, was a recon-
mendation its favor. Divisions in the
ranks of the Nationalists he added
could be regarded as a good augury
for the future, because these associat-
ed with him would form the germ of
a healthy opposition in the new Irish
Parliament.
Mr.. o'Brien criticized the financial
provisions in the bill. which he hoped
would be amended in the committee
stage.

made bellicose speech against the
bill declaring that if it passed he and

AVIATOR H. N. ATWOOD
LANDS IN The WOODS
On Trip, Wednesday, from Saugus, Mass.
To Maine Intends TO Visit Portland,
But the Increasing Darkness
Causes a Landing at Wells.

phone by The Associated Press at
845 p. NJ
Mr.. Atwood left the await ton field
at Saugus at sos. this afternoon. on
pleasure trip having Portland as his
objective point. although he was not
out. TO make any record flying. At 6
O'Clock he passed over Portsmouth, y.
H.. and after that he was lost sight
of until he reached this town. where
he landed at G.35. He came down in
IA small CLEARING in the woods some
three miles frem the nearest teie-
phone, ana had TO walk to the village
before ne could let his friends know
his whereabouts.
In telling about his trip TO The AS
sociated Press, Mr.. Atwood said that
it was one of the most interesting
trips in his experience as an aviator.
From Saugus TO Portsmouth it was
good going. Between those points he
followed the coast line, but at Kit
terry he left the coast and kept be-
tween the railroad tracks and Aga
mentieus mountain until he reached
Berwick Junction. During that dis
lance there would be stretches of
and 10 miles at a time with absolute
~ no landing place in sight.
AT Berwick Junction he again took
to the railroad and followed that to-
ward the coast All the way there
seemed to be nothing but woods, and
finally rather than run the risk of be-
ing forced to land in bad place in
the gathering darkness he headed for
a small field which he could see. The
field proved to be so small that wher
hea landed the machine ran entirely
across it before he could stop.
As soon as he had taken care of
the machine Mr. Atwood walked to
1.-THE store of H. S. Meulton at Wells
from which he telephoned
When asked about his plans for
Thursday Mr. Atwood said that he
was uncertain Just what to do. He
would like to continue his flight TO
Portland and will probably do so if
he can leave his landing place with
out too much difficulty. Otherwise he
will be obliged to ship the machine
back to Boston. Mr. Atwood said
that the only disagreeable thing in
his flight was the extreme cold add
ing: Maine is certainly an iceberg"

Many of Titanic's Dead at Halifax Turned

BACK TO NEW YORK.

Washington, May 1.-The Senate in
vestigation into the Titanic disaster
will shift, tomorrow, to New York
City, where Senator William Alden
Smith of Michigan, the chairman. will
examine a number of witnesses. No
other member of the committee win
be in New York. Upon his return.
Senator Smith will begin work on the
investigating committees report.
which will soon be put into shape for
early submission to the full commit
tee on commerce and the Senate. This

E. j. Dunn of New York, a recalci-
trant witness, has been released. Dunn
had testified that the White Star Line
officials received positive information
.of the Titanic disaster IL hours before
they made it public, but he declined
to diTulge to the committee the iden-
tity of his informant Mr.. Dunn has
returned to New York. Senator Smith
will seek light on this and other mat
tiers in New York.
Senator Smith declared today, that
the Investigating committee had car
ried ont it's plain duty and that there
would be no delay in the submission
of it's conclusions. A little later he
would speak in the Senate regarding
the investigation and its results, he
said, and would refer to what had

But LITTLE INTEREST is
SHOWN IN HOME RULE BILL.
Both on the Part of Members OF Parliament
And the General Public=SpeeChes on
Wednesday, Addressed ofialf Empty
House and a Small Audience.

London, May mo great political
project was ever debated in the House
of Parliament with less display of
interest on the part of members and
the general public than the home rule
bill The speeches, today. were deliV-
cred to half empty house. A few
Irish priests were the only spectators
in the galleries, who appeared par
ticularly concerned With what was
passing ON the floor
Even yesterdays oratorical per-
formanees, in which Winston Church.
ill. who is rated as the most brilliant
of the younger politicians in either
party, was the star, created hardly
any enthusiasm. No more remarkable
contrast than was presented by this
exhibition and the fierce battles over
the two other home rule bills when
statesmen like Gladstone, Parnell,
Chamberlain and Harrington fought
bitterly every inch of the ground and
racial and party passions We're stir
red to the depths, could possibly be
conceived.
one reason for this is the present
new system whereby the House of
Lords may prolong legislation over a
period of two years, which postpones
the critical stage of the measure. An
other is the conservative opposition
to the bill except on the part of the
representatives of Ulster, which is
generally luke warm. Several mem
bers complained, today, of the length
of the speeches. The Speaker prac-
tically confessed himself bored and
remarked:
Il am sure that the House would
rather hear three speeches of 20 min
utes each than one of so minutes
This was received with shouts OF
approval.
The Right Hon. j. f. b. SeelY, par
liamentary secretary of the war office
said that those who doubted the sim
cereity OF. Irishmen, when they deelar-
ed that they would carry out the act
hnnorably, and fairly, were the same
persons who doubted the good faith Of
the Beers when the South African
union act was introduced.

COLONEL REFUSES DELEGATES.

Republican National convention elect

because of the fact that President Taft

Colonel Roosevelt announced his de-

he telegraphed to each of the eight
delegates att large elected, yesterday.
The statement follows:
I'm Massachusetts the ballot con-

1t would seem unlikely that a ma
jority of the voters would both vote
for the delegates pledged to me and
at the same time express a prefer

what has happened. Such being the

Potatoes too are selling at record
