mended by George f. Baker, president
of the First National bank OF New
York, and Charles sabin, vice presi.
dent Of the Guaranty Trust company,
New York. before Secretaries MeAdoo
and Houston at the currency hearing
today.
Baker said he believed Philadelphia
and PittsbuFg might also be included.
The New York bank should be big
enough TO command the respect and
confidence Of all banking interests. he
said.
President Martindale of the Chem
ical National bank said he believed the
reserve system system could get along
well with less than eight banks. He
suggested banks in New York. Chi
cago, st. Louis Minneapolis or st.
Paul, New Orleans and San Francisco,
stephen Baker. president Of the
Bank Of Manhattan, said the belief
that SO much money would be center
ed IN New York as to congest the

ident Kent Of the Bankers Trust Co
put IT, He explained that Kew York
was the financial center of the country
and all witnesses agreed that The New
York bank should have the greatest
capital.
J. p. Morgan aligned himself with
advocates OF a regional bank of com
msnding size in the 5istrict which is
to include New York. Most OF the
other witnesses who appeared at yes
terday's hearing of the federal reserve
organization committe shared Mr.. Nor.
gan's views. arguing for the establishv
ment of a regional bank in this terri
tory. which would represent forty per
cent or more Of the capital of the en-.
tire national system
Secretary McAdoo and Secretary
Houston intimated they did not share
this view. although both said they had
reached no decision. Many OF their
questions bore upon the feasibility Of
making the regional districts more
nearly equal. with perhaps three banks
in the northeast, instead OF one.
Explaining he had not considered
carefully the division Of the country
into regional districts. Mr.. Morgan said
he would not attempt to outline any
detailed plan
I'm trying to see how the whole
United States is to be handled, he ex-
planned. That's all I'm any good for.
Mr. Morgan surprised his hearers by
saying he did not consider it import.
ant whether a regional bank were To-
Gated in New York 1t might as well
be in Boston. he believed The inn
portant thing he said. was to have
the bank, which served the New York
district OF sufficient size to command
the respect Of the business men and
bankers Of all countries As to the
I amount Of capital in this bank, which
many witnesses had said should be
larger than that Of any member bank

little importance to that phase Of the
matter.

PRODUCE FINE MILK FLAVOR
Experiments Conducted at Govern
ment Dairy Farm In Maryland
Favor Feeding Bran and Corn.


1t has been asserted by some dairy
men that the feeding of crushed oats
to cows will improve the flavor Of
milk. To ascertain the correctness Of
this theory a series of experiments
was made by the bureau of animal in
dustry Of the United States depart
ment OF agriculture at the experiment.
nl dairy farm at Beltsville. Md. Six
COWS were used in the experiment:
three were fed grain ration OF corn
meal. bran. and cotton-seed meal; the
other three were fed a grain mixture
OF five parts crushed oats and one part
cotton-seed meal. A number of SAM
pies of milk from the cows fed these
rations were submitted to various per-
sons In the dairy division and they
were asked to indicate their prefer
ence. In all so opinion were passed
on various samples. OF these. 16
showed preference for the milk from
cows fed on crushed oats, rs preferred
that from the bran and corn ration.
while nine expressed no choice. The
results shows that in these rations.
not only was there no marked differ
ence in favor Of the crushed oats as a
feed to improve flavor, but. II any
thing. the ration containing bran and
corn was more successful in producing
a f1ne-navored milk.

MAKE THE WORLD BRIGHTER

Put the hammer in the locker,
Hide the sounding board likewise; !;
Any one can be knocker,
Any one can criticise
Cultivate a manner winning,
Though it hurts your face to smile
And seems awkward in beginning,
BE a booster for a while.
Let the blacksmith do the pounding,
That's the one that draws the pay;
You don't get a cent for bounding
Saint and sinner night and day.
Just for solid satisfaction
Drop a kind word in the slot,
And I'll warrant you'll get action
For your effort on the spot.
Kindness every time beats knocking,
Mirth is better than a frown;
Do not waste your time in picking
Flaws with brothers who are down.
And it isn't SO distressing
II you give little boost
To the man the fates are pressing,
When the chicks come home to
roost.
Yes, the old world would be brighter,
If you kindle friendships flames,
And this makes the trouble lighter
OF the man against the game.
Send your crouch on a vacation,
Give your grumbling tones the
shake
And with grim determination
Throw your hammer in the lake.

FALL DROPPED CALVES BEST
Coming at q Time When Little Atten-
tions Required Can Be Given They
Progress From Start.

Where cattle are reared under natur.
al conditions. the rule that the young
be dropped In the spring will continue.
but this practice Is not necessarily the
most successful in the older sections
of the country. Fall dropped calves
come at a time when the little atten-
tions they need can easily be given.
and they occupy but little space in
barn or shed, writes J. r. Jacobson OF
New York in Hoard's Dairyman. Sub
sisting on the mothers milk or ON
skimmilk with a little grain and hay.
when spring comes the youngsters are
large enough to make good use OF the
pasture. The result is progress from
the start until fall, when they return
to the barn or shed large enough and
strong enough in digestion to make
good use Of the dry provender neces-
STATED by winter conditions.
