BROOk-Nook STOCK FARM.
c, y. Larrabee's Famous Horse Ranch in
Madison County.

The Dillon Tribune of January s, in an
interesting write-up of horsemen and
horses of Madison county, has the follow
ing to say of G. X. Larrabee's Brook
Nook horse ranch, located in that county:
BrooE-Nook stock farm consists of
about 5000 acres of farming, pasture and
meadow land, all enclosed by a substan-
tial fence, inside of which the entire band
of horses is kept, so that when Mr. Lar
rabee sells colt or tilly, it is bound to
be true to the pedigree given. There are
here to be found, perhaps, the best bred
lot of trotting horses in the world.
The sres consist of Commodore Bel
mont 1910, the most successful sire now
in Montana; Alaska 14429, record 2:29,
but his present record is no measure of
his speed. At independence he drove
out "the bunch grass horse" Frank
Quirk, in 2:1Sl4. Alaska is by Election.
eer, sire of 1o3 with records better than
2:30; Alcyone, record 2:31 e, by Alcyone.
At 10 years old, he is the sire of five in
the list, including Benton Wilkes 2:13.
He promises to become the most success
full sire of speed in this state, and is a
we'll bred grandson of the Incompatible
George Wilkes, who has over 2200 of his
descendants in the 2:30 list.
Lambert Boy, inbred son of Daniel
Lambert, will perhaps prove to be the
most profitable horse on Brook Nook
farm. He is an ideal carriage and road
horse, has grand, high action and re-
markable style. He took a record of 2:34
at Dillon last fall, after heavy stud sea-
son and while he was recovering from
the horse disease which was SO prevalent
in Montana last summer.
There are about 20 mares oa Brook
Nook that have records of 2:30 or better.
They include Jennie Wilkes, record g.
1915, by Woodford Wilkes; Flowingtide
2:1411a, by Albert W., and Fera, (by Com
modore Belmont) the dam of Felfore q
10. This is perhaps the best appointed
and scientifically conducted horse ranch
in Montana. Although the many inter
ests of the proprietor keep him away most
of the time, everything moves with clock
work precision. His pets (the young
things) are sure to get the best of care
and treatment.

NEW CUBAN TARIFF.
Government May Levy Additional Duty
to Offset Discrimination.

Government May Levy Additional Duty
to Offset Discrimination.
washington, D. c., Sept 22-Copies
OF the new Cuban tariff law, as recently
Sazetted at Madrid, have been received
here. They show in detail the manner
IN which the trade between the United
states and Cuba will be affected, and
the basis on which reciprocity can be
secured. The preamble recites:
Ihe Government shall be able to de-
cree special rccharEc of 80 per cent.
on all the duties on the products OF
Whatever nation that. In the applica-
tlon of its general tar!n, shall preju-
dice Spanish products by treating them
differentlally."
Under this clause the Government re
tains discretion to apply an additional
uuty OF 30 per cent. If American duties
are construed to prejudice Spanish pro-
ducts. The preamble also srppresses en-
tirely the favored nation clause, and pro-
Vldes that "as regards commercial trea-
ties, 1t is decrsed that all treaties or
commercial conventions which affect the
customs OF the island may be special. ."
Ihe abolition Of the favored nation
clause is said to be a marked departure
from the old system, under which the
United States or any other country could
claim all the advantages given by trea ty
10 any other country. Under the new
pan each country can enjoy only such
tarin advantages as are given II by spe-
cial treaty.
The tariff rates are arranged in two
columns, one giving the fiscal rate and
the other the differentlal, and II is pro-
Vlded that foreign merchandise, as we'll
as home merchandise. which does not
prove Its right to the benefits Of the
protective tariff, Will pay on its intro
duction into Cuba the amount of the
6iffnr1ntia1 nd
each column Of this tariff. The home
merchandise which just!fies It's right viii,
pay the duties fixed IN the fiscal COL
umn."
The rates on some OF the main articles
OF tariff between the United States and
Cuba are as follows:
An export tax is levied on toba GRO
as follows: Manufactured tobacco, cases
or cigarettes, 80 cents per 100; cut for
