233 to 122. AS adopted by the senate
the repeal takes effect on October &c;
as adopted by the house it becomes eff
fective October 80. A conference be-
tween the two houses probably will be
necessary to adjust this difference Of
time.
Senator La Toilette Of Wisconsin Of
fered the repeal in the senate. He said
he would have preferrd to make it eff
fective much earlier, but had deferred
to the wishes of some of his colleagues,
who feared that much confusion would
result from changing the time before
October &c.
Vehement Protest Is Made.
Senator Williams of Mississippi pro-
tested vehemently against the action
He was growing tired" he said, Of
the senates constant usurpations.
1T is trying to usurp the authority
of the executive and the authority Of
the states, and now it is trying to
usurp the authority of Good Almighty

the time" Senator Williams said.
The only votes against the repeal in
6o ofC No.
der of New York, Senator Newberry Of
Michigan, Senator Frelinghuysen Of

Big Help to Farmers.
Representative Esch Of Wisconsin,
chairman of the committee on inter
state and foreign commerce, was in
charge of the bill. He declared that
the farmers of the middle West were
unanimously demanding the repeal Of
the law on the ground that it advanced

time and cut short the last end of the
working day when conditions were
most favorable for work in the fields.
Others who spoke for the repeal in
cluded Representatives Sweet Of Iowa,
Knutson of Minnesota, Sanders of In

Of the exchequers, and if they will

MIXED TO MUSIC.
[Cedar Rapids Gaxette. !


II. NJ. Harvey, Of Poughkeepsie, n.
Y, contends that music will induce a
COW to give more milk than she would
If not thus encouraged and sOothed.
Tests have been made with Guernsey
and HOlstoin cows, and they, after be-
ing MIXED dry, gave more milk when
an electrically operated photograph
was started. Other cows were MIXED
with the photograph playing contlnu-
ously during the milking period, and
gave from 10 10 u per cent more milk
than their usual volume.
This may be the real solution for
the high cost of living problem. Who
knows? \ phonogruph in every hem
