HARD WORK BEGINS.
Alaskan Boundary Treaty Ratifica-
lions Exchanged.

tlOnS FXcnanSeO.
Washington, March, 4.-Secretary
Hay and Sir Michael Herbert have ex-
changed notifications of the Alaskan
boundary treaty. The preparations OF
the cases of the two sides will now pro-
coed with all speed, as, under the
treaty, they must be submitted to the
arbitrators within sixty days.
1t will require the greatest effort on
the part of the United States govern
ment to have it's own work ready with
in the appointed time. The United
States government has come into pos
session in recent years of vast amount
of data touching this controversy which.
to be used, must be thoroughly stud
led. Secretary Hay has placed this
work on the shoulders of ex-Secretary
John W. Foster, who is assisted by Mr..
Lansing, who became familiar with
Alaskan matters through his connec.
ton with Boring sea arbitration.
Now that the notifications have been
exchanged it is understood that the
personnel of the American commission.
ers will be formally announced.

Cruclty to Cows,

BILE of suffering and enjoyment. anu
that to degree too often lost sight
Of. The idea that it is just as well
for COW. either in point of comfort
or health. to be tied up six months
with no exercise. is contrary to all
physiological teaching; and that nutri-
tious food, light and exercise are nee
essary to the maintenance of health
and full development Give cows

warm days in the winter and see how
quickly they 90 and see the real en-

Dairy Notes.

Dairy Notes.
Milk of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long in milk, the butter
will come slowly.
A little too much churning Injuries
the butter by destroying the grain.
Any impurities in the drinking water
are readily absorbed by the milk
In profitable buttermaking it is all
important to suit your customers.
A little feed will often save good
deal of time in milking Il restless cow.
The growth of the hefer is so much
deducted from what should go to milk
production.
a great point of value in dairy COW
is to have the milking habit firmly es-
tablished.
Dairy farming. if rightly managed,
may be the means of greatly improv-
ing the land.
1t is useless to expect great flow of
milk from a COW that has only enough
feed to live upon.
The fact that COW gives n large
mess of milk need not interfere with
her bringing a good calf.
The colder butter can be churned
the better. and the better it will stand
after it has been churned.
y good dairy cow should always
have her good qualities perpetuated by
raising her heifer calves.
A stunted heifer will never make a
breeder of thrifty, quick ma uring
stock and will prove failure.
The churn should never be filed
more than half full, and then if the
temperature is right the butter will
come.
Stone or cement troughs are better
than wooden ones for setting the milk
cans in because they are easily kept
clean.
Churning at too high temperature
or churning too long will produce
greasy butter in which the grain is in
jured.
When cows have been long in milk,
churning is difficult, because the milk
has become glutinous and the fat glob-
ules will not adhere.

sentatives just before the house ad,
journed, in presenting the report on
the general deficiency bill, in which he
charged that the senate conferees had

Messrs. Hale, Allison and Teller.
Mr.. Smoot of Utah subscribed to the
oath with an emphatic 81 do" No OBJ
lection was made to his taking the oath.

The Presidents Message.
President Roosevelt sent the follow
ing message, which was read.
"To the Senate: l have called the
senate in extraordinary session to con-
slider the treaties concerning which il
proved impossible to take action dur
ing the congress just ended. ask your
special attention to the treaty with the
republic of Colombia, securing to the
United States the right to build the
Isthmian canal, and to the treaty with
the republic of Cuba for securing a
measure of reciprocity between the two
countries. The great and far reaching
importance of these two treaties to the
welfare of the United States, and the
urgent need of their adoption, requires
me to impose upon you the inconven.
fence of meeting at this time.

Advertise Your Good Things.

Study the pedigrees and breed into
popular lines as your experience in
breeding and management improves,
and Il demand is developed for your
stock by judiciOus advertising. Some
men pay big prices for breeding stock
and never advertise, says the Holstein
Friesian Register. They sacrifice their
stock rather than pay out money for
advertising. while others with palmer
bred stock and liberal advertising will
get far better prices and greater de-

Washington, March 8. - Secretary
Moody has rendered decision as to
the states after which the five battle
ships provided for in the new naval law
shall be named. The three l6, O00- ton
battleships are to be named Kansas,
Vermont and Minnesota. and the two
2,OOO-ton vessels Mississippi and
Idaho.
That no time is to be lost in the con-
struction of the new ships is evident in
the action of the secretary directing the
general board to prepare the circulars
for the l6,OOO-ton ships, which are to
be of the Connecticut and Tennessee
class. As there are no ~ ,OO0-ton ships
on the naval list, it will take longer to
prepare the plans and specifications for
the Mississippi and Idaho.

Several hundred samples of timothy,

dealers in different provinces have
been analysed at Ottawa. Ont. In
some 10 to 80 per cent by weight of
sand was found; 63 per cent of the
samples contained over two thousand
weed seeds per pound, Al per cent over
five thousand and % per cent over ten
thousand. Not more than per cent
of the samples were found free from
weed seeds. These facts are In line
with recent complaint from a Massa-

spread on his farm of a new weed
with white blossom and hot, bitter
taste" Investigation showed the pres
ence Of wild carrot. that pest Of the
hay field in so many localities. The
weed had first appeared In quantity
along the borders Of field of oats.
Better for the farmer to have paid
double price all his life for the best
grade of seed oats from reliable deal
er than to have introduced such
weed in cheap grain seed. 1t costs
more to raise pedigree seed and to
raise it on clean land. but the result
is worth the difference. Better raise

to buy hap-hazard at the store.-Mas-
