WOMEN VOTERS IN OFFICIAL RETURNS.

The bearing and effect of votes for
women on questions OF public morals
and the general welfare and especially
upon the movement, to abolish public
bringing places may be studied with
interest in the complete official figures
Of the Illinois election Of April Z. IN
which women took part and wherein
the most important local question up
to the voters for decision was wet" or
dry" towns. These official figures
have but lately been available and
stand thus: The total number of sa-
looms ousted stands at $50. Out Of
1873 wet" township lis were voted an
tt-saloon territory, and OF these eighty
three were placed in the dry" lis, by
the preponderance Of the women. For

year and one third for the full two
years 10 for whole and skim milk.
BY far the most expensive period N
the life OF the calf 10 the drst four
weeks. the cost being nearly double
that for any other four-wesk pEtod!
This high cost Il occasionsd by IT. be-
ing dependant almost entirely upon
whole milk.
The man labor required In raising .
heller 10 about forty hours during the
first year and twenty three hours the
second year. The total cost Of man and
horss labor for TIE two years II close

the two years has been valued at u;
consequently the cost Of labor 10 prac-
tically onset by the value OF the ma
nure.
The itsm ~O<hsr costs'' consists Of
expenses usually overlooked in esti-
mating costs. These are interest,
charge for the use of buildings and
equipment, expense for bedding, mis-
cellaneous expenses. share Of the
general expenses for the entire farm
business. and charge to cover losses
by death and discarding. The total
for these forms nearly one fifth OF the
total cost Of the 2-yeaf-old heller.
The foregoing figures show that It
costs more toraise calves to maturity
than 10 commonly supposed. and they
support the advice which the depart
ment Is continually trying to impress
upon dairy farmers. that 1t does not
pay to raise any but the best heifers.
Raising scrub heifers and selling them
at S25 to $40 apiece. az many do, 10
Improbable except on cheap land or
under other very favorable conditions.
But it does pay TO raise the best hsif-
ers. for in good dairy sections wsll-bred
heifers are worth considerably more
than $50 when years Of age. Further
more, dairy farmers ~ q rule are
obliged to raise their own stock. az it
is difficult to buy productive cows st q
reasonable price In some sections OF
the west where alfalfa Is worth only
81 or SIS a ton. or in the southwest,
where pastures furnish feed the great
er part of the year. this cost may be
greatly reduced Even where it costs
$50 to raise heifers, two thirds OF
this amount Is charged for feeds at
market prices. a large part Of which
can be grown on the farm at q profit.
Thus by raising the heifers the dairy
farmer finds a home market for feeds
grown on the farm at remunerative
prices, and at the same time aids In
maintaining the fertility Of the farm.

New London Woman Told Police Description of Clothing Does Not Tatty

Believing that she could supply a clue to the identity of the woman who on Tuesday abandoned a child of a few weeks age in the Norwich rail- road station toilet room, Mrs. Isa- belle Bailey of 76 Golden street re- ported to the New London police that a woman with a baby of tender age applied to her for assistance the same day. Mrs. Bailey recalled the wo- man as being blonde and wearing a long pepper and salt colored coat. While the woman was well dressed the baby was scantily clad and a single valise which the woman carried had only few articles of baby clothing in it. The woman told Mrs. Bailey she was going to New York, where her husband had lately secured employ ment
 Chief Linton of the Norwich de- partment was made acquainted with Mrs. Baileys version of the appearance of a strange mother and babe. He said today that the matter had been investigated and that he is quite pos tive that the woman seen by Mrs. Bailey is not the one sought on a charge of abandonment. The woman who left the baby in the Norwich toilet room was of dark complexion, black hair and wore a black coat. The Norwich police have found witnesses who saw the baby in the custody of this -woman-New London Day.
