The charges against Commissioners Bradsher and Ferguson were not made public by the governor nor were the appointees announced to succeed them. Conferences were held during the afternoon with Commls- sioner Burkett and others, but for some reason not divulged, the goyer- nor decided that he was not yet to act. It is believed that he will act, however, before the week IS out Commissioners Bradsher and tergu- son have made no statements further than those contained in their letters declining to resign, but there IS req son to believe thas they have legal advice which will justify them III making a fight for the retention ol their office, in which event the staN will have a repetition of the Charly Board row of several years ago.

Frohman Got the Better of Doyle.

Among the numerous anecdotes OF
the world of the stage told by Isaac f..
Marcosson and Daniel Frohman, au-
thors of "Charles Frohman; Manager
and Man. p" is the following about how
Frohman and William Gillette got the
better Of Conan Doyle. They were in
London at the height Of the interest in
the Sherlock Holmes stories, and Froh-
man Immediately saw their dramatic
value. He went to see their author and
made n bid for the rights. Certainly
Mr.. Frohman," replied Doyle. "But
shall make one stipulation. There
must be no love business in "Sherlock
Holiness Frohman engaged Gillette to
make the adaptation, but said nothing
of the stipulation, and Gillette wove q
love interest into the famous detec
tive's life. A year later Gillette read
the manuscript of the play to Doyle. The
author made no objection to the senti
mental interest, his only comment be
ing: at s good TO see the old char
| again. - Sherlock Holmes, it will be re
mcmbered, had met death already sev

KEEP cows RECORD.
Value of Contrasting Associations
Demonstrated.

That the appearance of dairy
cow can not be depended on to indi-
cate her production of milk is illus
trated by a demonstration conducted
under the auspices of the Dairy Divi-
sion of the department with herd of
nine cows at the National Dairy show
held recently at Springfield, Mass.
4 year record of milk and butter
fat already had been made for all the
cows of the herd. During the show
complete records of production and
feed consumption were kept and in
every case the previous records were
duplicated. Some of the cows were
of poor dairy type, yet were good pro-
dueers; others were of good dairy
type, yet were poor producers; still
others of similar appearance had
greatly different records. OF the last
named class were Nos. 8 and 8. Many
experienced stockmen selected No. 9
as the better of the two, but the rec
ords showed that for the last year No.
| 8 gave S,445 pounds of milk and 346
of fat compared with 4,279 pounds of
milk and 1913 of fat for No. g. This
served as an object lesson to the hun
dreds of people who daily viewed the
REORGANIZATION bhel SOOu y pc 10
/ not always associated with large pro-
duction and that poor dairy type does
not indicate lack of large yield.
"'What does it cost to keep rec
ords?' was a common question of the
dairyman. In testing associa-
tions, where the above-quoted records
were made, the charge is $50 a
month for each COW, and in addition
B Al, = Al.
each month. With feed, labor, and
live stock so high, it certainly is i'm
perative TO eliminate every unneces-
sary expense like the "boarder' or
''robber" cow that fails to pay for
even her feed
In the big room at the dairy show
where the cows were sanctioned
We're several hundred comfortable
seats. Here several times each day
well-known dairvmen from various
parts of the country talked to the
large audiences on dairy problems, IL
Illustrating their remarks with the cows
of the demonstration herd. Especial
emphasis was laid upon the value of
records in economical management.
Cooperative bull associations were
carefully described and their many
advantages explained. That it was
possible to have high-class bulls OF
the finest breeding for the use of a
dairyman with only a few cows seemed
to many farmers as too good to BIZ
true, especially when the cost was
even less than fn the case Of scrut
bulls. In this connection the charts
, that illustrated the conditions at Ro
land, Iowa, before and after the or
, ganization of bull association, elicit
, ed much interest. At that place, TO
yearly investment of $3.50 each, tn,
, members have the use of five $24'
bulls for 10 years.
