W. G. Schroeder has just finished
compiling the record for the past
year of his dairy herd on the "Al-
falfa Farm" in the town of Grant
Valley The record shows that the
herd of forty-three COWS has improv-
ed hundred per cent over the prev
ious year. BY wedding out the poor
milk producers this year, Mr.. Schroe-
der expects to raise his average pro-
fit per COW in 1913 from $40.67 to
over 500 His best thirty COWS this
year Melted him each sol in net pro-
fit but the poor ones in the herd cut
the average profit for the herd to
$40.67. His best cow, No. 6, made
him a profit of $132.76. These fig
ures are based on milk at six cents
quart.
at pays to keep a record of the
herd said Mr.. Schroeder Il have
a record chart in my weighing room
and the number Of pounds given at
each milking is credited to each COW.
At the end of the year ! know just
what COWS made money and which
ones cost money for the privilege of
milking them. BY consulting the
Of. Furthermore, l know that I can
build up my herd by selling off the
calves of the poor mixers and adding
heifers from the best mixers to the
herd
"My herd was started with grade
lIolstein COWS and a good bull. Now
I have a thoroughbred registered
lIolstein bull and will put into my
herd this year eight heifers over two
years old and sixteen of one year and
less, all being one-half or three quar-
tiers full blood Holsteins and daugh-
tiers of good milk producers. The sire
comes from good milk producing
stock.
Feed According to Production.
~ feed my cows at the rate of two
fifths Of pound Of bran for each
pound of milk produced and ten
pounds of hay a day in addition.
When COW fails to produce 1000
pounds of milk year, figure that
she is costing me money to keep and
I get rid of her as beef. Nine COWS
we're eliminated from the herd this
year via the beef route and they av-
eraged about $50 each when dressed.
AS much of the milk produced is
separated for cream, keep hogs to

Of which twenty are brood sows and

REFUSES TO GIVE
 DETAILS OF GAMES
 WITH LEGISLATORS
New Haven R. R. Go. Is Be ing Asked to Explain
 About Payments

Boston, Dec. 18-Further exp1ana- tion sof some of the payments made by the New York, New Haven & Hart ford Railroad to newspapermen and former legislators was sought at the hearing before the public service com | mission.
 Testimony that he, was employed by the New Haven company to read all legislation in search of tjokers, af- fecting the railroad was given by John J. Garland, a real estate dealer. and former member of the legislature. It required an expert, he said to detect the hidden meanings in some of the bills.
 George H. Sargent, newspaper re- porter, testified that he received mon ey from the railroad. in return for a weekly letter which he mailed to newspapers in small towns.
 John A. Alarby, who described him. self as a. Legislative messenger enr ployed by the railroad, said he receiv- ed $750 a year in 1912 and 1913 for following legislation at the state house. He denied ever speaking. to members of the legislature and explained that his duties merely required him to at tend all committee hearings.
 Information regarding card games alleged to have been conducted by en- ployes of the New Haven company at a hotel here and at which members of the legislature were said to have been allowed to win large sums of money was sought from Henry E. Bowden, another messenger by Arthur D. Hill, attorney for a Boston newspaper. Bowden denied that he conducted any card game in which legislators habi- tually- participated.
 When asked to give the commission all facts in regard to card games in which members of the legislature took part, Bowden declined on the ground that the answer might incriminate him.

House of Retired Wives.

One of the most interesting houses we saw in Algiers was the House of the Retired Wives"
 It stands directly opposite the Cath olic cathedral, which was once the pal ace of the bey; and the House of the Retired Wives is now occupied by the archbishop.
 When the bey was supreme in All giers, before the intervention of France, the palace contained several hundred wives. And as new ones were ire quently added, old ones hadato be re- tired. So as a wife became superfu- ous or undesired, for any reason, she was sent across the street, where she had much more freedom than in the bey's. palace; for there she was sup posed to keep to her own apartments and not wander about at will. In the House of the Retired Wives she could move about at will.
 She left all jewels and valuable pres ents which the bey had bestowed upon her in the palace for her successors, but she was fed and clothed until she died in her new home.-Ndtional Maga-

WALL STREET TODAY

Noon - Notwithstanding acute weakness of individual stocks at the outset today, the market, after open ing slightly lower, gradually develop ed strength. Traders abandoned eff forts to depress prices and took on stock for a turn the long side with the result that before noon gains were general.
 Reading, New Haven and New York Central rose a point. The depression in Canadian Pacific was attributed largely to selling hereb y Berlin, Paris and London due largely to the col lapse of Russian securities abroad.
 Steadiness of the market in the face of Canadian Pacific's slump, which al amounted to 5-8 points, indicated that the list was specu1atively sold out and the bear position vulnerable Bearish statements of a leading steel manufacturer failed to influence the market for steel.
 Bonds were easy.

ProfitahIe Reautu.

That beauty of beauties" Mime. Recamier, would sometimes 1ecome a beggar for the poor, and it was good for the poor. At the Easter fetes of 1901, celebrated in the Church of St. Koch, the priest asked Mime. Recamier to act as collector. She accepted.
 A returned emigrant, NJ. de Thiard, was her cavalier. The task was no sinecure. To walk around the church through the enormous crowd occupied more than an hour. Another hour was occupied7fn counting the receipts, which amounted to 2O, GOO francs From each lip came cry of admiration at the marvellous beauty of the young co1lec- tor. As she advanced step by step through the church these cries were translated into pieces of gold for the poor and many pieces of verse to offer to the fair co1lector.-''A Great Co., Quette"

wbirIpooI suqqested siIencer.

MT. Maxim had been working on the development of automobile engine muf- fers for some time before he thought of a silencer in connection with a gun. In addition to this was the inventors desire to enjoy target practice without creating a disturbance. Experiment ensued, covering a couple of years and all kinds of valves, vents, bypasses, ex- pansion chambers, etc, but without success. One morning after his bath the inventor noticed the small whirl- pool oyer the drain hole, the action of which retards the egress of the wa ter It does not silence it Gas this phenomenon is usually accompanied by a more or less pronounced sucking soun0, but in a gun the noise of firing is caused by the sudden egress of the gases, and if these could in the same way be slowed down the noise would in proportion be decreased. Acting on this suggestion, a little tube was then made. constructed so as to induce a whirlpool in the escaping gases from the gun. This, when tried, was a sue cess-American Machinist.

Laughing is series of short expira- tory blasts which, acting upon the vocal chords. held tense for the purpose, cause certain sounds of various pitch. The differences in the sound of the laughter of different indisiduals is largely due to the varying vibrations of the larynx and pharynx. It has been noted that many in family ''have1the same laugh possibly because of simi- lar throat formations. It also is an imi- tative process.-New York World
