A very well-bred Holsteln hull calf
weighing 11L' pounds was recently
dropped at the Kansas state agricul
tural college farm at Manhattan Must
of the dairy Infants, however, weigh
Considerably less than this Kansas
heavyweight.
In the dairy herds of the University
of Illinois the average weights of the
calves of the various breeds at birth
have been as follows: Holsteln male.

record the approximate weights of
calves at birth, because this Informa
tion Is valuable In apportioning milk
to the young animals The 111' pound

handle a feeding of milk that would
put a Jersej I alf of average weight
In line for castor oil.

CONGRESSMEN
FAVOR FILIPINO
INDEPENDENCE
Washlnpton.-'The
appointed hour Is
here: let the Phil
ippine be free."
This was the key
note of a speech by
Congressman Ed
ward J. King of Illi
nois. (Republican)
In which he review
ed the American oc
cupation of the Is
lands from the first
day to the present
time. He declared
that t h e U n 1 1 ed
States was honor
bound to grant in
dependence without further delay.
Congressman King is one of an in
creasing number of Republicans in the
House who are urging quick action
on Philippine Independence. Mr.
King is the author of a bill whlcWpro
vlde.s that within one year the Philip
pine government, under presidential
proclamation, may assemble a conven
tion and frame a constitution.
After the constitution is ratified by
the Filipino people the President may
recognize the Philippine Islands us "a
Separate and self-governing nation."
The transfer of authority is to be
completed within one year. Provision
is made for safeguarding American In
vestments in the Philippines and for
the providing of coaling stations and
Submarine bases In the islands by the
United States.
Word from the Philippines is that
the people expect early independence
and will he solely disappointed if they
do not get It.
"No nation has the right," said Con
gressman King "to hold another people
In peonage, even though it may be
argued by the professoriate that the
condition Is simply one of 'tutelage.'
"A little more observance of the
golden rule in national and Interna
tional affairs would soon dispel that
desire for exploitation, the fiercest foe
of freedom in the world today.
"When we went to the Philippines
We declared before the whole world
that we were not actuated by any self
ish desire of conquest or territorial
aggrandizement, but solely by humani
tarian impulses."
Congressman King called attention
to the fact that Filipinos are now
raising funds to erect a monument to
Admiral Dewey, w hich he said was In
directly u tribute to the American peo
ple as well as to Dewey. He recalled
the cable that Dewey had sent to
President McKInley, which was as
follows :
"In my opinion these people (Fili
pinos) are superior In Intelligence and
more capable of self government than
the natives of Cuba, and I am familiar
wiih both."
Congressman King then recited the
preamble to t lie Jones law, passed
August 20, 1.116, and declared It was a
definite pledge of independence. The
preamble stated "It is as it lias always
been the purpose of the people of
the T'ulted States to withdraw their
sovereignty over the Philippine Islands
and to recognize their Independence as
soon as a stable government can be
established therein."
Congressman King stated there was
no Question but that the Filipinos had
established the specified stable gov
ernment and, therefore, it is the
solemn duty of the I'nited States to
grant the promised independence.
