an Extra Session If Treaties
Are Not Ratified.

a Rider ON the Canal
Treaty.

Washington, Feb. 20. President
Roosevelt will call an extraordinary
session of the senate of the Fifty
eighth congress, unless both the Panama
canal and the Cuban reciprocity treat
les are ratified at the present session.
The president made this declaration
of his intention to several senator's
Thursday, and he made it as emphatic
and unequivocally as'he was capable of
making It. (.
It is deemed likely by officials of the
administration and by many senators,
that both treaties will be ratified be-
fore March 4, but the necessity for
their early ratification is regarded by
the president as so urgent that, in. the
event of the failure of either n or
both at the present session, he will issue
Immediately his call for an extra, ses-
sion.
1t is said that there are grave rea-
sons of state why both treaties should
be ratified as soon as possible. These
have induced the president to make an
nouncement to senator's of his deter
mination.

MAKING GOOD BUTTER.
sAlI Authorities Are Agreed Thas
Success Depends on Proper
Ripening of Cream.

The all-important question Of tile
day with creamery and dairymen is
how to obtain a uniform and fine fla
yored butter. Nearly all investiga-
tors agree that the secret lies in the
proper ripening of the cream; and
when we read of the tons of low-grade
butter brought into the markets daily,
aH owing to the fact that the negli.
sgence or ignorance as to the proper
treatment of the cream lies at the root
spf this great fault. it appears to be a
point worthy of consideration.
To state the subject of starters
plainly and intelligently. it is neces-
4sary to take the fundamental princi-
pie of the ripening of cream into con-
sideration. The ripening Of cream in
scludes. two features upon which the
quality of the butter largely depends.
These are flavor and texture. The eff
fects of ripening with starters are far
more marked upon the flavor of but
ter than upon the texture. for it is
during this process that the character
istic fayors are developed. Cream
ripening is 1nerelsEsa .farmentaticn

This growth is controlled by tem-
perature by Which rise from e1
degrees Fahrenheit. and not to ex-
t,ceed 100 degrees Fahrenheit. induces
growth and develops immense num-
bers Of bacteria; while lowering the
tempe erature retards growth. The ac-
ton of these germs in cream results in

Electricity and NIiII

y The unusual number of thunder
storms last summer should have been
accompanied by a large amount Of sour
milk, if the old belief that thunder
storms sour milk is true, but there has
been no complaint on that score SO far
sas reports show, says zHoard's Dairy
man. It is certainly true that milk is
frequently found sour after a severe
thunderstorm, and it is natural that
there should be. a popular belief Of a
relation between the two facts, but as
soon as we endeavor to verify the
claim by the actual trial Of sweet milk
fby electrical discharges we find that
the electricity fails to work and; the
milk remains sweet, for electricity in

The Mixed MIX Ration

4 Roughage is nearly the same every
where, corn silage, cornstalks and hay.
The question is what to- use for grain
ration to be fed with the above kinds
OF roughage to produce the most milk.
Most farmers have corn and oats,
which they grind and feed mixed with
a little bran; this does not furnish the
most desirable nor the cheapest ration
when production is considered. Leave
sout the corn entirely, as worse than
useless, and substitute cottonseed
meal, even at $40 per ton. BY feeding
-four pounds bran, four pounds oats
and two pounds cottonseed meal, with
silage cornstalks and hay, or even
without the hay, you will get results
