principal amount of securities of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad reiterated today its opposi-
ton to including the Old Colony
Railroad properties in the reorgan-
lied New Haven.
The committee filed a brief with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in which it said the losses from
the operation of the Old Colony
system are accruing at the rate of
about 100000 year.
The source of the Old Colony
losses has been shown to be largely
local in character and not subject
to control by the New Haven" the
brief said. The efforts of the Old
Colony trustees to reduce these
losses have been effectively resisted by
the Massachusetts authorities.
The committee urges that Old

Producing Beef Cattle
Good Ohio Enterprise

Producing native steers is a good
Ohio farm enterprise in sections
where good pasture and ample sup
plies of cheap roughage are avail
able, according to the statements of
25 experienced breeders to L. p. Nc
Cam, specialist in animal husbandry,
Ohio State University.
These men brought out their 1885
herd records which showed the pro-
duction of TIT calves at an average
weight of 441.6 pounds for an
average cost of $3.50 per calf.
These calves were raised from an
aggregate herd of 800 cows.
The cattlemen operated farms
in Knox, Wood, Pike, Perry, Picka-
way, and Madison counties, and the
herds included the three common
breeds of beef animals. Mr.. McCann
believes the experiences of these
men are fair indication of the
possibilities of beef production with
in the state.
These livestock producers depend
upon pasture to carry the beef cat
tie from May until November and
then feed cheap roughage through
the winter. In some ceases, corn
stover alone has been the winter
feed for the cows.
Most of these cattlemen preferred
to have the calves dropped sometime
between February l and June L.
Earlier calves increase the cost of
winter feed for the cows, and later
calves are not heavy enough to go
into the feedlot at the usual wean-
ing time.
The type of cows used in the herd
is not important as long as they are
good beef animals, but the kind of
bull used is of utmost Importance.
The bull should be as near the ideal

Sewing Machine Rack
eteer Fails

A man who has achieved certain
degree of success and notoriety
through his escapades as a Sewing
machine salesman, found there was
one man who wouldn't fall for his
'line".
Willis Cheney, Ada, reported he
drove a man to Lima for the pur-
pose of obtaining two sewing ma
chimes which the salesman said had
been sold to Ada residents. When
the bogus salesman attempted 81
''touch" from Cheney, and was re-
fused, he disappeared.
According to officers, the sales
man usually manages to borrow a
sum of money from his victims for
making change" and then disap-
pears. So far, four or five in north
western Ohio have been gypped out
of various sums of money by men
working the same racket.

are required for each 100 bushels of

beef type as possible, low-set, COM
pact, broad, deep in the middle, low
in the flank, and have a full, plump
hindquarter.
The greatest hindrance to native
beef production in this state has
been Bangs disease. Any farmer
starting to build up a beef herd
should buy only cows which have
given a negative reaction to the
blood test for Bangs disease. After
the herd is established, no untested
cattle should be permitted in con-
tact with it.
The cattlemen who explained their
methods to Mr.. McCann said it was
not necessary to creep feed the
calves. Good legume hay supplied
to the calves when grass becomes
short in late summer proved suff-
cient to keep them gaining at a sat
isfactory rate.

practical dirt farmer had better
keep samples of his produce at home,
free and clear of practical jokers.
Recently Stauffer dug three fine
specimens of potato culture from
his garden. The spuds which had
been grown in two months and %
days, were placed in the window of
the First National bank. An APP

Passing pedestrians admired the
potatoes for several days. Finally

Stauffer a serious-minded letter from
