NEW ENCLAND'S DRY
COW.

The New England cow has become
problem. Bossy is not doing her
duty as a milk and butter producer.
She is costing her owner too much
in proportion to her output, is not
numerous enough to supply New
England's wants; and so the COM
mittee on agriculture of the Boston
chamber of commerce has Joined
hands with the Governments De-
partment of Agriculture and State
and local associations to make what
Shakespeare called "crowner's
quest" on the COW.
1r spite of the fact that New Eng
land has large areas Of land suitable
for dairy farming, its demand for
milk has so far outgrown the home
supply that It has drawn upon east
ern New York for a considerable
part cf what it uses, has gone into
the Canadian provinces for dairy
products and into the worlds mar
kets for butter. In every State from
Connecticut to Maine the farmers
are protesting that it does not pay
them to produce milk, and herds of
mich COWS are steadily diminishing
in numbers.
1t is to inquire into the causes Of
these conditions that The various
agricultural departments have form
ed committee to travel through
the New England States and endeav-
OF to determine what can be done
TO correct them. The basis Of this
inquiry is an investigation conduct
ed several years ago by the Govern
ment and the New Hamnshire aeri-
cultural departments which was
called "cow test" The body con-
Quoting the test examined 326 cows,
& years output and cost being the
standard ard twelve factors enter
ing into the calculations. Eight of
these cows netted their owners
$58.12 each. Fourteen produced
$40.48 each, while the COW of the
average type in New England net
ted profit of only s495. Some of
those tested showed loss of as
much as S4295.
The one thing looked upon as the
saving of the situation is the i'm
prcvement in the breed of cows, but
the demands oe this upon the farmer
are sc heavy as to make that solu-
tion difficult.

Out at the National Training
School for Boys. crowning the
heights overlooking Bladensburg
road. will be found some startling
contrasts.
Near a now "a 0nn concrete ptg pen

mitory. One of its totterlag brick

against 1t.

touched with the hands. damp, poor
ly ventilated. and badly lighted. In
this room. huddle from seventy to
ninety boys during their "playtime"
ir inclement weather.
A new 1850 gymnasium and
school building Is being erected.
Meanwhile there is no equipment OF
any sort on the Fairgrounds. and
across one runs an open sewer. and
the overflow sewage from another.
These are some OF the facts, veri-
fed by a Times reporter, which are
to form the !rasis OF an investiga-
tion of the institution. This inves-
tigation. not yet officially an
nounced. follows upon the resiFna-
tions of two officers at the school.
One of these. Z. Eugene WIllea
tandmaster and commander Of
Company F.. stated In his letter OF
resignation that the lax manage.

elimination in favor Of some Of the
companies, made II impossible for

years.
Officers to Testify.
Other officers. still In the employ
of the school. already have prom
ised TO give testimony before the in
vestigation at the instlgation of one
of the trustees. To their COM
plants that the boys are not receiv-
ing proper instruction and care, they
will add n protest against the al
lotment of their own time. declaring
they are kept to such a rigid sched-
ule that they cannot do their best
work. and that they are being de-
prived of half of their -ishtful an
nual leave.
Some of the conditions complained
OF are admitted by Superintendent
George A. Sterling. Hot water baths
are allowed the boys but once a
week. even during summer months.
One shirt and one pair of socks per
week Is the allotment for each boy,
even when working in the fields or
at the brickyard during the sum-
mer.
Other allegations made by Mr..
Willes and other officers follow:
Requsitions for new shirts arc
not filled promptly. so that many
boys have been compelled 70 go
about in rags.
The supply of shoes ran short
The Washington times., 1914-08-30

during the last year, and no effort
was made to replenish leather from
which the boys make their shoes, so
that many Of them suffered from
being poorly shod.
Recommendations for parole are
sometimes held up for two and three
months. thus entailing longers terms
upon boys than they should serve.
requests for repairs 20 unheeded.
resulting In insanitary conditions in
baths and closets. and in actual
damage to property.
The boys dining room Is poorly
lighted. badly ventilated, the screens
are broken. and a stencil arising
from the swill in the adjacent yard
Is waited through the dining rooms.
Boys spend much of their time In
idleness which should be used in
instruct!ng them in n trade In
some cases it is alleged their school
hours have been cut so that they
might work about the place
Houses Called Firetraps.
Several of the homes where tn.

traps. These homes, designed to
accommodate fifty boys, are greatly
overcrowded. In none Of them are

immortality among boys Is preva-
lent because OF laxity among the
night watchmen. One OF these
watchmen, put over seventy unruly
boys, is seventy-two years old. Nine
cases of immortality were exposed by
an unexpected visit to one dorni-
tory at night.
Some OF these charges, especially
those concerning the physical equip
ment Of the school, may be verified
by an: visitor.
In the toilet of Cottage F. one OF
the new buildings, two flush tanks
out OF seven were missing. There
was but one wooden seat on the
seven bowls. Thirteen out OF twen-
ty faucets in the wash room would
not run. Here seventy boys wash
their hands and face twice daily.

all the time. I simply suffered terri
bly,.
After | was married, my husband
would stand over me and cry, and
say. 7 wish l knew what to do for
you. He was always getting some
kind of medicine for me. but it never
helped.
One of my neighbors advised him
to get me a bottle of Cardui. the wo-
mans tonic, which he did, and after
had taken the first bottle, was re
lieved of pain and so much soreness,
caused from cramping. My husband
said for me to continue taking it, so
7 did and now, thanks to Cardui, /
am in perfect health.
Il used to have yellow complex
ion. but since taking Cardui ! can
