"A WISE PoLIcY.s
Action Approved by Chairman of
 Stockholders, Committee.

Boston, Dec. 10.-Failure of the New York, New Haven and Hartford di- rectors to declare a dividend today does not affect the present status of the company's stocks in Massachusetts banks, Bank Commissioner Thorndike said tonight. Banks in this state are forbidden by law to purchase stock of a corporation which has not earned 8 dividend of four per cent. within a given financial year, but the banks may hold legally al 1such stock as may be in their possession prior to failure to earn such dividends, he said.
 George Won L. Meyer, chairman of the stockholders protective comnit- tee of the New Haven. said tonight that the action of the directors indi- cated a wise policy which gives the road firmer financial ground upon which to stand in it's rehabilitation

HOPPER FEEDING POULTRY THE
 SAFEST.
It saves Time, and Time Is None
By E. K. PARKINSON. Farm Management Flxpert.

By E. K PARKINSON. Farm Management Expert. The two pricipal objects of hopper feeding are to save time and avoid up- setting the digestjon of fowls from , careless feeding.
 C9n large commercial plants-in fact, on any farm where poultry are kept in considerable numbers-time is money slIfd must be saved, so by degrees the hopper has come to be used universal ly4 The usual materials are fed in 1t, but mixed in bulk and put into hop pers dry in sufficient quantities to last several days, There are some who ob- ject to hoppers, fearing they attract rats, mice, sparroWs, etc, and that fowls eat less freely of dry mash and consequently do not lay as well. The first of these objection is overcome by using metal hoppers with lids. These may be purchased from any poultry supply house. The second objection is true, but the slight loss of eggs is offset by saving in the time spent in feed- ing.
 There are. of course, those who have made great success with pistt2y 1eed- ing cooked mashes, and in some cases it is unadVisable to change. But where feeding is done by a hired man, who $ apt to be careless in keeping feed trougbs clean and well scalded or al- lowing the mash to stand until sour. 50 upsetting the digestion of entire hocks and causing loss in the egg yield, the change to the hopper method wiI prove beneficial
 For those who think of changing from the old to the new method ner- hans a few of dry mash mixtures used by successful poultry breeders may prove helpful 4 well tried one consists Of coarse wheat bran, 210 pounds cornmeal, 1G0 pounds; ground oats 100 pounds; gluten meal. 100 pounds middljnes, 75 pounds fee6.ny flour, 25 pounds; fine beef scraps. 90 pounds, and fish scrap 90 pounds.

 '.The directors should be commended for their courage" said MT. Northrop. 'It was the proper thing to do,' MT. Bronson said; s'if the road had not earned dividend, the directors should not have declared one. It was the wise course to pursue, under the circumstances"

 Has Paid Per Gent. This Year.
 During the calendar year 1913 the road has already paid dividends of 5 per cent, amounting to $S,567, 361. 50. For the four months of the fiscal year, July to October 31, 1913, the income available from all companies upon which the New Haven can draw, not counting the Boston and Maine, Maine Central, and Merchants and Miners Transportation company, which need all their resources, is in round num- bers $3, 3e0, 900; estimating that the net income for November and December will be $500. .000, makes a possible total income for six months of $3,890, 900. Deducting from this the 1 1-2 per cent. dividend, $2,356 76S paid Sept. 30, leaves $1,533s231, all of which is required for working capital.
 Money Required for Extraordinary Ex-
 penses.
 The company is now entering upon those months where the volume of bus mess Is apt. under normal conditions, to be less than during the months July to November inclusive. The arbitration of wage disputes in the last IS months has resulted in increases in pay that will increase expenses for the present fiscal year between $500, coo and $1 00O,- coo for the same number of employees. The improvements to which the com pa1E is already committed, in the in terests of safety, efficiency and greate convenience to the public, will take large sums of money There are i'm Roftant law suits and investigations pending, the result of which are un- certain in their effect upon the general financial and corporate condition of the property.
 Sti!l Valid Savings Bank Investment.
 The directors feel, therefore, that the welfare of the company, of it's Stoci1ho7 ders and of the territory serv- ed by the various lines will be con- served cetter under all the conditions TOW confronting the company, by not declaring Q | this time a dividend"
 IEasGauch as the New Haven has al- ready paid ) per cent in dividends during the calendar year now ending, inc validity Of it's proposed bond issue as a savings bank investment will not be impaired. Under the laws of some New England states, savings institu- tionS are prohibited from purchasing the bonds of corporation whose stock pays less than per cent. in any calendar year.
 Regarding resumption of dividends, Mr. Elliott said:
 We are letting the future take care of itself"
 Paid 10 Per Cent. for 20 Years.
 The New Haven began paying divi- dends in 1873, and for 20 years there after maintained a 10 per cent. rate In 1894 it fell to per cent; in 1895 to 8 per cent, which rate it continued to nav until the early part of this year when dividends were cut to 6 per cent. on the basis of 1-2 per cent quar- terly.
 A new low record for the stock was made on the local exchange today, when it fell to 71 1-2, or less than one- third of it's quoted price few years ago.

 One would think a cleaner and bet ter favored cream would be produced by the introduction of the separator; but, as matter of fact, the flavor and sanitary qualities of separator cream produced on the average farm are not as good as before, and the quality of butter made in creameries from this separator cream is inferior largely be- cause the separators are not kept clean.

 Comparing the wealth of the richest American, which, he estimated at $500, DOC, 900, Secretary Bryan declared his belief that Thomas Jefferson and Abraham Lincoln rendered services to the world that were worth immeasur- ably more than that.
