THE EXTRA SESSION
TO CONSIDER THE CUBAN
TREATY AND THE CURRENCY.
Some Questions Of High Importance
Which Congress May Decide to Con-
slider In Connection With the Pro-
posed Reciprocity Arrangement.

1t is authoritatively announced by
Senator Lodge, as the result of re-
cent visit to Oyster Bay, that the
President has fixed upon Nov. 8 as
the day on which Congress will assem-.
BILE in an extra session, called prirnar-
lily for the approval of the Cuban
treaty, which wah ratified by the Sen
ate last March, and incidentally to
act upon current legislation upon the
lines indicated in the views and declar-
atoms set forth in various speeches by
the President. Opinion varies alike
as to the wisdom of summonlng Con-
gress into extra session for these pur.
poses, and also as to the length Of
ime that will be required to enact
he legislation that shall carry into
effect the Presidents wishes both as
to the Cuban treaty, and the improve
ment of our currency system. The
New York Tribune thinks the session
should be short one. 1t says:
THE Cuban legislation indeed
shoulu Iake no time at all, for all that
is needed is a simple act modifying
the tariff law in conformity with the
treaty already ratified by the Senate.
No question of detail calls for discus.
sion. The simple issue is carrying out
the treaty or not carrying 1t out.
Practically every member now knows
what he thinks, and the bill could
properly be brought to a vote in each
house at once. Any delay on the pre-.
tense of discussion merely means that
persons who want the treaty to fail,
but do not dare face public opinion in
favor Of concessions to Cuba, are

Danish Dairy Cattle.

We may very properly inquire.
whether there are cattle in other
countries which would improve our
dairy herds or be a valuable acquisi-
ton to the variety we now possess.
Although others may hold different
views, 1t is the belief of the writer
that the only countries 10 which any
attel ton can probably be given in
this connection are Denmark, France,
and Switzerland. The nrst named
furnishes the best example in the
world of dairying as a national spec.
ialty, of rapid development, and of
present high average production and
excellence. Here we find the Red
Danish cattle to be the standard stock.
and very satisfactory business cows
they are, of pronounced dairy type.
But they lack uniformity except in
color, particularly in udder develop
ment and other dairy points, and in
the show ring the very best of them
could not hopefully compete with the
best Of any one of the four leading
dairy breeds of this country. AS dairy
performers they are good, but not re-
markable; the best yearly records the
writer has seen show an average pro-
ductlon of 5000 to $500 pounds OF
milk per cow, in herds Of II to 10
animals of all ages, with an average
fat content Of about 81 per cent, an
equivalent of 290 to 325 pounds of
butter per year. A very celebrated
herd of 70 cows averaged 1850 pounds
Of milk a year. In Jutland there Is a
distinctively dairy race of sharply de-
fined black and white markings In APP
pearance reminding one of Holland
cattle, and still more of Brittanles, al
though between these two races in
size. They are very attractive cows,
OF rather less than medium size, and
excellent mixers. Both these races
of Danish cattle may be credited with
being economical producers; yet none
OF them are wanted here, for super
latlve excellence seems to be lacking
on the one hand, while on the other
they appear predlsposed to tubercu-
losis and very generally tainted with
this insidlous and dread disease

Dairy Utensils.

From Farmers Revlew:-The uten.
slls used by dairymen are often simply
rinsed, the milk remaining In the
seams and corners and more or less
over the whole surface. When in
such condition If they are allowed to
stand in warm place bacteria will
develop in them very rapidly, 80 that
by the time of the next milking u
good crop will be ready to take pos
session of the new milk Often when
utensils are washed they are not prop
erly rlnsed and the water together
with the cloths used In washing and
wlplng are heavily loaded with bac-
terla so that after the utensils are to
all appearances clean they may even
yet be covered with layer Of bac-
terra. They should be rinsed first
with cold or luke warm water, not hot
as this coagulates the albumen OF the
milk, causing II to adhere to the YES
sci. After rlnslng they should be
washed In hot water using some clean
ing substance as soap or salsoda, again
rinsed and sterillzed thoroughly either
by means of steam or boiling water
and placed In the sun where dust can.
not blow on them. Fresh milk is easily
removed but II allowed to become dry
or sour II is difficult to get of. II the
utensils cannot be cleaned imme-
dlately after using, Ill them with
water to prevent drying. Utensils
should be heavily timed and should
be discarded as soon as the tin Is
worn of; the fewer seams the better,
and what there are should be filed
with solder, leaving no place for dirt
to collect. Wooden pals cannot be
properly cleaned. Cans In which milk
is hauled to the factory should be
washed and sterilized at the factory
and the skim milk returned In other
vessels. Milk cans should not be tight
ly closed when put away, for the free
OF the air will keep them
dry and prevent the growth OF germs.

CHAPTER VII.-continued.

Crystals face cleared little and he
smoked thoughtfully and in silence.
Pope eyed him askant, somewhat
darkly, but on meeting his gaze his
face lighted up with one of his fine
cordial, Irish smiles. It was clear
from this and further discourse they
held that they had as yet formed no
plans after they had obtained as much
plumber as would satisfy them.
The crew made merry in the dog
watches that evening, wearied as they

swain Grindal lurched through the
yellow sheen to the quarterback.
Captain Pope" said he, "the men
ha'n't seen their flag yet. Is there
any objection to its being hoisted, that
all hands may make sure of the colors
they sail under?"
Certainly" says Pope with great
heartiness. "Pipe all hands aft and
let them salute the flag with glass
of grog apiece"
Grindal chirruped somewhat tipsily,
and the crew came tumbling on to the
main deck. A bucket of gin was
drawn and the hands were ordered
not to drink till the flag floated over
them.
Pope went to the flag-locker just
abaft the wheel and took out a little
bale of stuff that was like a pail rolled
up. He bent this weired flag to the
main-royal signal halyards. Then took
a turn round his hand and shouted
to his man to bring him and Crystal
a glass of grog. He then addressed
a few words to the pirates, and,
tweaking the line he held, the flag
at the masthead broke and blew out

The little vessel was hove-to right
athwart the course of the approaching
craft, which might now be some two
or three miles off. The sails of the
stranger were remarkably white.
"a gents pleasure boat" said Grin
dial. "A proper craft for our flag, |
guess"
1--we been thinking that" says Crys-
tai, looking at Pope, who made no
answer
The stranger came ripping along
toward the brig with pathetic unsus-
piciousness. And she was now within
half mile perhaps within reach of
trumpet. when all of a sudden, as
though the Gypsy's true character
had been discovered, her length of
broadside with it's high sheer of bow,
like a smack's of these days, drew
out, and she was off!
Fill on your fore-topsail, Mr.. Crys-
tal," roared Pope. "Grindal, jump for
ward and send shot from the Long
Tom after her, as the brig brings her
to bear. Fire wide"
The boatswain rushed forward.
This sort Of orders made his blood
run fast. They swung the fore-top-
sail yard, and the brig, close hauled,
stood in chase.

pleasure vessel. She was steered
by tiller, and abreast of that Ions
arm of brass-ended timber, stood a
tall and martial figure, an elderly
gentleman, in a long military cloak,
and soft black hat with a wide
brim. Her few men stood with their
heads above the line of her bulwarks,
straining their vision in evident
alarm and amazement at their pur-
suer.
The boatswain had leveled the long
piece fair at the stranger, when Pope
saw that she had put her helm down
and was slowly rounding, with faint
tremor of canvas, as though feai
shook her, into the winds eye. In
stantly the captain began to roar out
orders. A boat was lowered, twelve

men armed with cutlasses and pistols
tumbled into her. Pope took charge
with a sword at his side and a pistol
in his bosom; and Crystal with folded
arms and a stern black face, stood
at the quarterback railing looking
on.
The boat swept alongside. Pope and
eleven men sprang aboard with
fluorished cutlasses, but so far from
meeting with any resistance they
found clear deck. One figure alone
remained. He was the tall man in
the cloak and black soft hat.
He was a noble-looking old gentle.
man, perhaps seventy years of age,
wonderfully erect, martial figure
He threw his head back when Pope
approached and exclaimed in a calm
deep voice:
why have you boarded me, sir?"
Pope answered, 1--WE are gentlemen
of fortune. We are sailing the high
seas in search of an estate and you'll

the fine old fellow. He was a gentle.
man by birth, an Irlshman, the son
OF a clergyman, and no fierce and
bloody pirate as yet.
Pope's men, breathing short, looking
restless and wild, bloodshot, hairy and
rugged, every man with a cutlass in
his hand, stood about the companion
way waiting. while the following con-
versation took place between Pope
and the tall, lofty and commanding old
gentleman.
Il am Earl Fitzgibbon," said the tall
old gentleman, "and am proceeding
from the Azores to England. | beg
that you suffer me to depart. You
will discover nothing in this vessel
worth your attention. Examine the
cabin by all means. You will find
everything plain. and such money as
have in the ship you are welcome to,
about ninety guineas."
Thanks, my lord. II Is our custom
to make ourselves welcome without
invitation" says Pope. I'VE cannot
let you depart for ninety or nine
hundred guineas. We must transfer
you and your crew to that brig"
"But why, sir? But why?" cried
his loruship, suddenly exhibiting
signs of agitation. What would you
do with me? What would you do with
my vessel and the men? Name the /

forth his hand, which trembled ex-
ceedingly. ANY sum in reason you

Profits In Sheen.

In the management Of sheep, how to
produce the greatest profit from the
flock is the first consideration; not
how to produce the greatest number
Of lambs, as Is usually the case with
the young shepherd, but to produce an
animal that will give the greatest
profit for the labor and expense In
volved. We will suppose that the
shepherd has secured his flock OF ewes
In the fall. What breed? Well, that
is a matter Of fancy; any of the good
breeds will do, so long as they have
been judiclously selected. The next
and greatest consideration would be,
the selection Of a ram. He should
be big, strong and rugged, and, above
all things, typical OF his breed and
full Of quality. The eve influences
only her own progeny, the ram the
whole flock, and on him depends its
Improvement or retrogresslon. A
strong shearllng or older ram is ca.
pable Of serving from so to 10 ewes,
or more, according to treatment. II
he has only so ewes, he may be al.
lowed to run with the flock, and fed
night and morning. II from so to 100
he will require to be kept inside and
only allowed one service Of each eve,
night and morning, as they come in
season. 1t is a good plan to mark the
rams breast With lamp black mixed
with oil, and in ten or fifteen days
change the color. The ewes rump Is
thus marked, and according to the
color the time Of Landing Is calcu-
lated.-A. ID. Gamley.
