Speaking of the work of parliament
during the past year, NJ. Deschanel
said:
ssThe chamber has maintained a
union of all Frenchmen. Some very
lively debates have occurred and tho
enemy's newspapers affect to see in
them signs of discord; but the man
of neutral countries should not be de-
ceived. It does not always imply dis
cord.
Notice, for instance. what took
place concerning a particularly deli
cate question, the call to arms of the
principle of the measure, everyone be-
ing ready to favor sacrifices for vic
tory"
At the end of the discussion, he
said the declarations of the minister
of. war were unanimously approved.
He continued:
,ssWhen the ministers revealed the
eoncordant views of the allies on the
conduct of the war, when they APP
peaIed for the savings of the country

asked for the corporation of the new

Our contemporaries attacks on SUI

are unjust and unwarranted. It is
actuated by revengefuI spite and with
brazen cheek they ask The Farmer to
come to their aid.
Supt. Birmingham was asked this
morning If he had seen the latest at
tack upon him, in Saturdays issue of
the contemporary. He said he had
read the article and it's exaggerated
absurdities. For instance. he said:
when my attention was first called
to the alleged pool-room in the Stu
dio building, I Immediately detailed
Detectives Arnold ana Cronan bn the
case. Their report was Immediately
turned over to Prosecutor Gfddings,

on me. I have no fault to find with
Giddings for not issuing the warrant.
He has to look into the law, probab-
!ly, and find out whether or not he has
a case before he will issue the war
rant, but I desire to say that the fault
is not mine as any fair minded man
can see.''
''As a general. thing I do mot care
to reply to newspaper attacks. A
man in my position must expect to
meet with more or less of such at
tacks and it is sometimes good policy
to pass them by unnoticed, as they
dc no material harm, but in this par
ticular instance want to say that per-
sonal animosity is behind it. The re-
porter for that paper has told Capt.
Hunt that he would make it hot for
me and that I would be out of office
before two years. He has told De-
tective Cronan in the presence of Cap

at that (my) desk and the man up
stairs, mayor Frank Clark. I know
that the reporter has been trying to
charges against me. know who he
has been to see. wish him luck in
his search and invite him to bring any

she was milking fifty pounds a day
She is due to calve again March 3, 1916.
We were particularly impressed with
the statement of the cost OF this tre-
mcndous production OF milk and the
profit above the cost of feed that is
shown. 1t demonstrates that il was
profitable for this man to feed and care
Tor this COW so she would yield oh a
large amount of butter. For every dol
lar expended for feed he received four
dollars worth of milk. 1t is true the
average farmer cannot receive such a
good price for his milk, so We figure
the results a common farmer might es-
pect II he fed a COW so she would
produce 1868 pounds of butter in
year he could expect to get thirty cents
pound for the butter. This would
give an income of s3l6.so in year
from the COW. If he had spent Sl1,. 80
for her feed it would give a profit Of
1880 This would be $3.50 income for
every dollar expended for feed
We think It will be generally admitted
that this is a larger profit per COW than
common farmers can show and larger
return on tho money expended for feed.
So It indicates that feeding for the
largest production is more profit able
than common methods. Resides this IT
would bring any man able 10 do these
things a larger amount OF satisfa elton.
