A recent rarls dispatch says that,
while it is anticipated the French
government will be strong enough to
carry the approval of the Franco
American treaty through the house and
the senate, it is evident that violent op.
position to the treaty will be met in the
agricultural and industrial parties. The
alarm over American commercial ex-
pansion felt in France has been con-
verted into panic by Georges Wen
lersse's remarkable article entitled
"The Conquest of the World by the
United States,' which the papers are
still discussing. The Petit Bleu de-
voted column on its first page to an
article warning the government that
French industry is on the road to ruin,
owing to American competition. On
top of this came the announcement
from inside circles that the delay in
completing the exposition might COM
pei the government to ask American
industry TO finish. the work, and the
probability Of American companies
getting the large contracts for the con-
struction of the Indo- China railway.
Complaints come from Indo- China
that San Francisco exporters are mono
policing the trade of that colony, de-
spite the French protective duty.
American butter, preserves, flour, corn
meal and machines are superseding
French exportation, and that these
facts have produced q genuine scare in
commercial circles.

Milk and butter records.-Developed
as dairy breed primarily, Brown
Swiss cows yield generous flow of
milk and hold out we'll. Good speci-
mems may be expected to give an aver
age of ten quarts for every day in the
year. Six thousand pounds year is
an ordinary record, and single instances
are known of 5000 to 10000 pounds.
One Swiss COW owned in Massachusetts
produced, by accurately recorded
weights, 86,304 pounds of milk before
twelve years old. The quality of milk
is above the European average, 81 to
4per cent of fat being usual. The COW
mentioned above made butter record
ranging from 500 pounds to 6lO pounds
per year for four years, but this was ex-
ceptionsl. Ordinarily % pounds of the
milk of this breed will make one
pound Of butter. and sometimes it does
better.
The description given indicates that
these cattle are good for beef as well as
for dairy. They are almost always
full flsshed, easily kept 80, and readily
fattened when not in milk. The flesh
10 said to be fine-grained, tender, and
sweet. A barren heifer in Minnesota
weighed 1880 pounds; q mature COW in
New York, fattened for butcher,
weighed 1925 pounds, and made 1915
pounds Of beef. A pair of Swiss steers
at 13 months old weighed 1890 pounds.
The calves arc large, often 100 pounds
at birth, and make vigorous growth.
Altogether, the Brown Swiss is able to
present about as strong q claim as any
breed to being profitable general
purpose cow"
In their native country these cattle
are ordinarily fed nothing but hay,
grass, CT other green forage, through
out the year, but they respond prompt
ly to more various and generous feed.

Dawn-on the hills of Ireland.
Gods angels lifting the nights black veil fror

Sweet face of my sire-land.
Och, Ireland! and isn't 1t good you look.
Like bird In a rich adorning,
And with all the pent-up love Of my heart
bid you the "Top the Morning."
This one short hour pays lavlshly back
For many year Of mourning.
I'd almost venture another flight,
There's so much joy In returning:
Watching out for this hallow'd shore,
All other attractions scorning;
oh, Ireland! don't you hear mo shout
bid you the "Top o. the Morning.
See there on Cleena's shelven strand
The surges are gladly beating,
And Kerry is pushing her head-land out
To give us the friendly greeting.
Into the shore the wild birds fly
On pinions that know no dropping,
And out from the cliff on surges charge
A million Of waves come trooping.
oh k indy, generous land.
So leal, 30 fair and loving,
No wonder the wandering Celt should think.
And dream of you in his soaring.
The alien land may have gems and gold.
No shadow may ever have gloomed ii;
But the heart will Sigh for tho absent land,
Where the love light first illumed 1t.
And doesn't old Cove look charming there.
Watching the wild waves motion,
Leaning her back against tho hills
And the tip of her toe In the ocean.
It's ia wonder don't hear Shandons bells;
Oh, may be their chlmings over,
For Its many year since began
The life of western rover.
For thirty summers, asthore machree,
These scenes now feast my eyes on
) Ne'er met my vision, save when they rose
In memories dim horizon;
Fen then twas grand and fair to see
As the landscape spread before me.
But dreams arc dreams, and my eyes woul
open
To see Texas skies above me.
And many night on the Texas plain,
When the day and the chase were over,
My thoughts would fly DER the wearyway
And DER this coast line hover;
And the prayer would rise that some futur
day,
All dangers and doubtings scorning,
I'd live to win from my native land
The light Of young liberty's morning.
Now, nearer and fairer. the coast line shows
Was ever scene SO splendid

Thank God, my exile's ended.
