low inverted conical shape. Such an
udder does not add to the beauty and
symmetry of the animal and too often
it's dangling, swaying motion in travel
is a source of irritation. It cannot
possibly be expected to give as good
results as blocky compact udder OF
equal size in each quarter and extend
ing well to the front and rear. The
teats should be of sufficient size to be
grasped firmly while milking. They
should be set squarely on the quarter
and be of cylindrical rather than
conical shape. The cow with low
hanging bag and conical-shaped teats
is not choice animal to milk and it
will usually be found that she does
not do well at the pail.
Percentage has much to do with the
conformity Of the cows udder, and
while the sire will influence this char
acteristic to a certain extent the func-
ton of the udder is not after his ma
ture and the dam will have to be de-
pended upon largely to perpetuate
proper form in this regard. Practical
experience will prove that heifer
calf will ordinarily have in marked
degree the external milk organ char
acteristics of her dam. 1t is therefore
doubly desirable that in the selection
of breeding stock close attention be
paid to the udder development.

TASK IS A HARD ONE
Republican Hope of Success Not
Too Apparent.
Noise Is Being Made in an Effort to
Show Party Harmony, but Other
Indications Are Ominous Of
Defeat.

The slight ripple Of approval ana
satisfaction which agitated Republican
circles Immediately following the NOM
ination Of Hughes and Fairbanks ap-
pears to have faded into q remarkable
degree of placidity. The Democratic
convention completed its work and
presented clearly and Enthusiastically
the issues and the record upon which
1t invites renewal Of the country's
confidence. A
The aspect of Republican unity that
has been presented by the collapse OF
the Progressive party has not served
to instill overconfidence in Republic
can ranks. The leaders who are In
touch with public affairs know that the
triangular contest of 1912 affords no
basis upon which to estimate this
years probabilities. They know that
1t is an entirely different Democratic
party that they will have to face this
year, and that new and unsounded
problems are uppermost In the minds
Of the people.
There is degree Of noise that indi-
Gates Republican harmony and even
enthusiasm in certain quarters, but
there Is also an impressive and omi-
nous silence In Republican states
which indicates that the Republicans
who used to shout are now bordering
the situation and doing some thinking.

City Managing as Profession.

Illinois has at least two "city man.
ayers" of the new type, and it is no v1o'
lent presumption that she is interested
in the progress of the city manager
plan of administration. With what
amazement one read, some years back,
the items from Germany telling us OF
the Teutonic way of electing mayors
of advertising for them all over the
empire and giving trained man the
position regardless of residence, poll
tics or what not! Now the idea seems
far less startling. We are not as yet
thinking Of advertising for our mayors,
but in conjunction with the commits
sion form of government Or modiflca-
ton of that form we are slowly deyei
oping the science of city managing and
the profession of the city manager.
A City Managers association came
into existence a few weeks ago. The
latest report showed about nineteen
cities and villages under the city man
ager plan, and several communities
are about to submit the same plan to
a referendum. The University of Wis
consin has established course for
would-be city managers. and it seems
q very liberal and practical one.-Chi'

UDDER DEvELoPMENT'oFc0 cow
Sufficient Importance Not Placed on
Dairy Characteristics by Dairy
Cattle Owners.

Many owners of dairy cattle do not
place sufficient importance on the
purely dairy characteristics Of the an
imals they keep and breed. One OF
the points often overlooked is udder
development, although 1t would seem
that this would be the first thing an
intelligent dairyman would look for in
the selection of cow. While an oc-
casional cow with small, ill-shaped
udder will give a good quantity of
milk, such animals are merely the ex-
ceptions which prove the rule that
good dairy cows should show good de-
velopment of the milk organs.
The good udder is large but does
not display its size by hanging in a

THROWING TRASH IN STREET
Nuisance Complained OF in Washing
ton Prevails in Many Other of the
Country's Cities.

When the wind blows with force 1t
emphasizes the carelessness of the
people who disregard the injunction
against throwing trash in the streets,
says the Washington Star. At nearly
every corner in the downtown section
the wind forms eddies In which are
gathered the bits of paper that have
been carelessly tossed aside and al
lowed to drift. These papers repre-
sent an ignoring of police regula-
ton which prohibits the throwing OF
refuse in the streets. AS an induce
ment to full observance of this re-
quirement receptacles are stationed at
convenient places in which trash OF
this kind can be placed. 1t only re-
ouires q little care on the part or all
TO keep the streets clean. Every Dit
of litter drifting about the streets on
a windy day or lying in the cutters
waiting for the street cleaners brooms
and shovels represents SlOvenly con-
duct on the part of Westinghouse.
A very few people of this thoughtless
habit can give the whole city an as
pect of neglect and lack Of care. The
most perfect system of street cleaning
cannot cope with this tendency and
keep the city looking neat so long as
trash is discarded against the regula-
ton and without the, use of, the re-
ceptacles. Prosecutions should not be
necessary to put stop to this bad
habit, but apparently they are needed
to remind the people that the rule
against throwing litter into the streets
is in force and should be observed.

SUMMER WORK IN THE DAIRY
Nothing More Unpleasant Than When
Pastures are Short and the Files
are Troublesome.

AT no time of the year is dairying
more unpleasant work than during the
time when pastures are short and the
flies are troublesome.
Now is the time when it pays to
have supplemental forage crops and to
darken the stables and keep the cows
inside during the hottest part of tho
day. The cold weather during the win
ter is less difficult to contend with
than the hot sun and flies during the
summer.

Platform Rhetoric.

The exigencies of Republican plat
form rhetoric require that the Demo-
cratic party be viewed sometimes as q
single entity operating for evil, some
times as q conglomeration of indivi-
duals Of whom a few are not so bad
as the rest. If thing has been done
in the course of the last three years
Of which the Republican party hear
tily disapproves-and that is true Of
most of the things that have happened
in the last three years-then 1t Is the
Democratic administration that Is re-
sponsible. But If here or there the
interests Of the nation have been well
served, as in the refusal by congress
to abandon" the Philippines, the mer-
1t belongs to the Republicans in con-
gress, "aided by few patriotic Demo-
crafts" Presumably. 1t is only because
of freak of nature that these few
patriots happen to be Democrats In
stead OF falling under the biological
law which makes patriots and Repub-
licans synonymous. But a political
platform is not the place for philoso-
ohic subtleties, and this must be- the
reason why the platform-makers at
Chicago did not take up the highly
difficult question whether the action In
congress on the right of Americans to
travel on armed merchantmen was
upheld by the Republicans with the
aid of patriotic Democrats, or by the
Democratic. administration with the
aid of patriotic. Republicans.

PLANNING FOR SMALL TOWNS
BY No Means Should Only the Large
Cities Be Laid Out With Scien-
tific Care.

Another bOtherSOme miSconceptiOn Il
that city planning relates only to the
larger communities already great and
populous and prosperous, and is not
needed, or at least is not available,
by the smaller places. 1t seems to be
the unconscious conclusion that 1t is
best to first make all the mistakes of
civic ignorance and community
thoughtlessness, and to yield as fully
as possible to the greed of special
privilege, in the thought that when the
town becomes really great, 1t can af-
ford to plan for convenience, practic-
ability and progress. The good people
who take this view remind me Of an
acquaintance who considered the serv-
ices of an architect superf1uous for
certain building he was having erected.
The carpenter had handled many build.
ings-was he not good enough to see
that this simple structure was properly
put up? SO the work proceeded, the
carpenter accepting and using the floor
plans of his customer without ques-
ton, and 1T was not until the building
was under roof that the lacks Of pro-
vision for any stairway to the second
floor appeared. Of course, the final
cost Of the revised house considerably
exceeded what it would have been had
the architect done his work and the
carpenter his. know many towns
that pretty nearly lack stairway, and
for just about the same reason.-Amer

Restricting Home Streets.

Home streets should be sacred to
homes and they should be protected
from the invasion of all kinds of bust
ness. The home is the climax of urban
activity, and it should never be sacri-
feed to commerce or industry of any
character. A city wounds itself when
it harms a home. And SO there should
be regulations and ordinances to pro-
tect the homes against business. Bust
ness can take care of itself; the home
can't. A happy home, the most useful
and honorable thing in community,
loses its high character il shop Of
some kind is stuck up alongside of it.
Yes, it is necessary for man to make
a living, but it is not right to make
other people unhappy in doing it. We
simply suggest that there is ample
room here for a salutary regulation

Argument Lacks Effectiveness.

How much stress either Mr.. Hughes
or his party will endeavor to lay on the
tariff plank" of the Chicago platform
is one Of the interesting problems OF
the campaign. That plank was insert
ed for sufficiently obvious reason
to try to dull the argument of good
business, not only during Democratic
administration but after a downward
revision of the tariff. This is done by
the explanation that, "but for the ad-
ventitious conditions created by the
war;" the tariff of October. 1913,
would long since have paralyzed all
forms of American industry and de-
prived American labor of its just re-
ward" Whether the people at large
can be convinced by insistence on what
might have happened but did not, Is at
least doubtful; the argument has not
-eEen the political effectiveness of the.
older Republican argument that. al
though the tariff reduction Of 1894
was made II months after the panic
Of 1893, nevertheless the panic was
caused by the tariff act. That par
ticular plank, absurd as 1t was in the
eyes of serious people, served some
thing of its purpose. for the reason
that, when 1t was constructed, there
had at any rate been recently wit
messed both tariff reduction and hard
times. The trouble, with the present
pink is that we have had both tariff
reduction and good business.

earring and is worn with the same
abandon, except that the jewels, be

other precious stone will have much
better opportunity to bask and glisten

Public Utilities Investments.

American CQp1Cll mas also gone lutO
public utilities in large amounts, and
American bankers and their clients
have very large investments in the
Mexican National railways and their
subsidiaries.
The national railways of Mexico
alone have stock issue of $3.50, OOO,O
and bonds aggregating $495, 900, 900.
The Mexican government owns 81 per
cent Of the outstanding capital stock
and a substantial amount Of the
bonds, and the remainder is owned In
the United States, Great Britain and
France. The preponderant interest,
however, in the minority stock is held
abroad. 1t Is said that about 20 per
cent only Is held in this country. This
is also true of the bonds.
French investors have been the
hardest hit by the financial difficulties
Of the Mexican railways resulting
from the series Of revolutions that has
taken place in the last four years.
Cash dividends and interest have been
suspended for several years altogeth-
er, although some Of the obligations
have been paid In scrip.
1t is impossible to enumerate all
the mining properties in the northern
part OF Mexico which represent Amer
lean investments. The Greene-Cana-
nea is one of the largest Of these. 1t
has total capitalization Of $6O,QOO,-
600, practically all Of which Is owned
in the United States.
The American Smelling and Rein
ing company has enormous invest
ments in mining and refining plants
throughout Mexico. 1t has principal
refineries at Monterey, Aguascalientes
and Chihuahua. These three refineries
alone have an annual metal capacity
Of over 100000 tons. The invest
ments Of the company south of the
Rio Grande probably represent total
of no less than $25,000,0OO.
Mexican Petroleum investments.
Phelps, Dodge & Co. also have very
large investments, although q majority
of their properties are north of the
border. The Mexican Petroleum COM
pany, whose plants are entirely south
Of the Rio Grande and principally in
the Tampico district, has a total capt.
talization of $72,OO0,O0O, which con-
sists of $48,OOO,OOO in preferred stock,

Vast Wealth Invested in Mines,

TOTAL over BILLION DOLLARS
investors In Railroad Securities Hard
Hit by Conditions In Recent Years
Millions In Bonds FIoated in
New York.

New York.-The question as to the
total amount Of American and foreign
investments in Mexico has been much
discussed In Wall street since the sit
uation on the border reached criti-
cal stage. Estimates run from $1,000
100000 to $500, 100000, and most
banking houses with Mexican connec-
tons are agreed that the lower figure
was altogether too conservative.
For many years, in fact since the
Mexican war, American capital has
poured into northern Mexico because
of the enormous mineral resources OF
the states of Sonora, Chihuahua,
Coahuila and Nuevo Leon.
Many millions also have gone into
the sections around Tampico, where
the great oil wells are situated, and
great sums have been invested In the
rubber plantations of Tampiche and
Yucatan.
