The biggest attraction, and the oae
big factor In promoting better dairy
ing was College Belle Wayne, one of
the worlds record makers. A Won
derful COW, not so pretty as some,
but from whatever angle you look
at her, you. see, aud think. and feel
utility" Her seven-dsy record Of
S24 pounds Of milk and 351a pounds
of butter, her t~hirty-day record of
1888 pounds of milk and 1865
pounds OF butter. and her one-day
record Of 1861 pounds OF milk were
simply a revelation to the thousands
of people who saw her, Of what can
be accomplished with dairy cows by
Intelligent selection, careful breed
ing, good care and feed.
At Belle FOurche, she and her
companions were taken to the opera
house where they greeted a thousand
people or more in theatrical fashion,
and at RedHeld the business men and
farmers would not be satisfied until
the COW vas brought into the opera
house where they could see her. AC-
c~Ompanying College Belle Wayne
was a pure-bred Jersey, a pure-bred
Ayrshire, and two grade cows, each
with a valuable lesson TO teach.
When &. Larson came to South
Dakota from Utah about six years
ago, he started out in a practical way

that state. He selected lust common
cows like those the farmers were us
ing. He bred them to we'll selected
sires and saved the heifers. He is
now able to 20 before the farm

use pure-bred sires, but actually
show them the results OF such prac-
tice.
The train carried one common COW
She was part Hereford, part Red
Polled, part Shorthorn and the rest

showed a production OF 176 pounds
OF butterfat. Accompanying this COW
was her daughter sired by a pure
bred. well selected Holstein. She
showed fairly good dairy typo. was
almost black in color and her yearly
production showed 80 pounds OF
butterfat or 1874 pounds more than
her mother produced. She has also
been bred 10 a we'll selected sire and
before long We will see how much
Improvement can be obtained In the
second crossing. This case is only
n OF several at the college dairy
barn. 1t is safe to say that this one
demonstration was the most practi-
cal and appealed to the farmers more
cmphatically than any other feature
OF the train.
The exhibit car contained a mum

Der OF other interesting things that

Grated wherever time would permit.
The machine aroused considerable
interest and suggested a number OF
questions. There is not the slight

ASKS RECEIVER
FOR new HAVEN
Equity Suit Brought In FedeTaI
Court by Stakeholder
SUSTAINED PERSONAL LOSSES
Seeks 10 Recover From Defendants
Large Sums Alleged TO Have Been
Observation-Disclosures Wanted TO
Handle Any Cash Which May Be
Recovered From Directors

New YORK. Aug. A receiver is
asked for In a equity suit against the
New YORK, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad company, brought in the
federal district court against the
company, its officers and directors
and the estate OF j. p. Morgan, by
Tisla d. Clark, resident OF New
Jersey, and holder Of twenty shares
OF stock.
The suit introduces no personal
damages and is chiefly confined to
complaint on the personal losses al
legged to have been incurred by the
stockholders through the actions OF
the roads directorate which have
been investigated by the interstate
commerce commission.
Clark states in the complaint that
the twenty shares he owns came TO
him by inheritance, and that the suit
is not a collusive one, brought TO con-
fer only the federal court jurisdiction
in a case of which 1t would not other
wise have cognizance.
II is sought to recover by this suit,
from the individual defendants as
present and former directors, large
sums which, it alleged, were with
drawn and Incorporated after
Charles S. Mellen's election as presi-
dent in 1903, by "triumvirate" COM
posed of j. p. Morgan, William
Rockefeller and Mellen.
Thomas c. Spelling, attorney for
the plaintiff. in a statement explain
ing the object of the suit, which, he
declares, is different in important
respects from any other thus far
filed, said:
IAN Injunction is sought not to dis
place or interfere with the manage
ment of the present board of direct
ors, but to forestall and prevent the
directors voting at corporate elections
the shares issued to themselves and
to various corporations in consum-
mating the various illegal transactions
complained of, and to prevent the
board making good out of the funds
OF the defendant company any deficit
either in fixed charges or on operat-
ing account of the corporations con-
troll of which they have illegally ac-
CURED.
"A receiver is asked for, not OF the
corporation, but in the event that
decree shall be obtained against the
directors for an accounting, to re-
ceive any moneys that may be recov-
cred and paid, as a special fund to
be distributed to the stockholders, or
disposed of as the court shall direct.
