CONGRESSCONVENES
SIXTY-FIRST Session BEGUN
MONDAY OF this WEEK.
More Protection for Standing Timber

the Work-Executive Officers of As
ISOLATION From Northwest.

Washington, Dec. 6.-At noon Mon
day the first regular session of the 61st
congress convened. Vice President
Sherman presided in the senate and
Speaker Cannon in the house.
There have been few sessions In re-
cent years for which there has been so
little planning among members Ordin-
arily, Speaker Cannon and Senator Aid
rich, who speaks for the majority of the
senate, have a program at the begin
ming of a session, but this year they
have none, OF, if they have, they are
not talking about it. They are waiting
upon the president.
By common consent apparently all are
holding back until the presidential
recommendations are received.
Even the "insurgents /" generally ex-
press a willingness to wait upon the
White House before attempting to form
uiate a plan of action. This is true
both in the senate and the house. They
manifest much interest in the forthcom-
ing message, but say that until it is re-
oeived they will be unable to form any
plans.
They are avowedly irreconcilable in
their attitude toward the speaker and
Senator Aldrich, whom they hold respon-
sible, the one for the house rules and
the other for the present tariff.
There is practically no prospect of
amending the rules of the house in
this session, and indications are strong
that no general effort will be made in
that direction.
The principal interest in the outlook
concerns the possibility of railroad legis-
latiOn.
Much interest is felt in the Nicara-
guam situation, but the general DISPOSE
ton is to permit the executive branch
to deal with it without interference.
The attitude of Cannon toward the
provisions of the tariff law relative to
print paper and wood pulp is giving
some concern.
Representative Campbell of Kansas
will introduce a resolution asking for an
investigation of the sugar trust.
The opinion is quite general that New
Mexico and Arizona will attain to state

Ones Ancestors.

l asked friend short time back
how many ancestors he had in the di-
rect line twenty generations back. At
ter a minutes reflection he suggested
fifty. 1t may be little surprising and
of interest to some Of our readers to
learn that they each have had more
than million ancestors with compare
lively recent years, and that without
taking into account uncles and aunts
Starting with ones parents, each per-
son usually has two, father and a
mother. The father had his two par
ents and the mother had hers. Thus
each person has four grandparents.
One step-father, and we have eight
great-grandparents. L know case
within living memory where a man
had four great-grandparents, all living.
A simple calculation gives the astonish-
ing result that our lineal ancestors dur
ing twenty generations number no few
er than 1,048, $50, or sufficient people,
if all living, to populate the whole of
Wales.-Exchange.

FOR GOOD BUTTER MAKING.

Work the salt into the butter thor
oughly, but do no work it long enough
to break the grain and make the but
ter salvy.
An English authority on butter max
ing claims that adding one pound of
salt to every gallon of cream imme-
diately after it is taken off the milk
aids in ripening the cream and gives
from Is to 20 per cent. more butter
than from cream that has no salt in it.
The buttermilk is, of course, useless,
as it cannot be fed to stock when
it contains SO much salt, but it's loss
is more than made up by the large
quantity and better quality of butter,
it is claimed. Has anybody tried it
over here?
To prevent the taste of turnips in
the butter from cows fed on them,
western creamery practices the fol
lowing method: Put the cream into a
vessel and place in hot water at 200
degrees. When the cream reaches a
temperature of 145 or $50 degrees, set
the cream dish in cold water to cool it.
Experiments seem to show that the
longer the interval between milking
the poorer the milk. The milk is i'm
poverished by the absorption Of the
fats after it is secreted.
If milk which has been set for some
time and on which the cream has
partly raised is stirred the cream
never raises again fully, so there is
a considerable loss of Butter from it.

Staunton People Have Abso-
lutte Proof of Deeds at Home.

1t is not words, but deeds that prove
true merit.
The deeds of Doan's Kidney Pills,
for Staunton kidney sufferers, have
made their local reputation.
Proof lies in the testimony of Staun-
ton people who have been cured to stay
cured.
William L. Rohr, 1041 Front street,
Staunton, Va, says: 81 used Doan's
Kidney Pills, and the results were sat-
isfactory. Kidney complaint was
with me for long time and suffered
from severe pains in my back and
sides. STOPPING or lifting caused sharp
twings to dart through me and 1 had
to have assistance in getting out of
bed. The kidney secretions were very
irregular in passage, and I had but
little control over them. 1 tried sew
eral advertised remedies, but received
no relief until procured Doan's Kid
ney Pills at Thomas Hogshead's drug
store. l continued taking Doan's
Kidney Pills until I was completely
cured. 1 publicly recommended
Doan's Kidney Pills six years ago,
and to-day I am pleased to state that
the cure has remained permanent"

Ayrshire, Guernsey and Jersey. Each
of these breeds has certain charac-
teristics which make it adaptable to
certain conditions, and it shall be the
purpose Of this article to enumerate
the qualities Of each breed and then
let the reader judge for himself which
breed is best suited to his conditions.
The Jersey is the smallest, and least
adaptable for beef of any of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey gives the richest
milk and the smallest amount OF any
at the age of IA months. Jerseys are
noted for the persistence of the dairy
breeds. The Jersey is the earliest
maturing of any; some heifers have
been known to calve before reaching
age at which they yield milk. Cases
are on record where cows have given
milk for years with only one calf.
One COW gave milk for ave years
without refreshening but once Jerseys
will make a greater amount of butter
fat out Of the same amount of food
than will any other breed. There
are two things which make 1t pos
sible for the Jersey to lead in this
respect. It has the least tendency of
any to convert the food into body fat
instead of butterfat; in the production
Of pound of butterfat it does not
have to produce at the same time
so much Of the other constituents of
milk. They are fairly good rustlers,
and stand heat better than any other
breed.
The Guernseys are similar to the
Jerseys In size, form and general
characteristics. They are larger,
little coarser and little more beefy.
The milk is yellower, but not quite
SO rich. To offset this, however, they
will give more milk, which makes the
total amount of butterfat practically
the same for the two breeds.
The Ayrshires are about the same
size as the Guernseys-namely, 1000
LOO pounds for mature cows. They
carry more natural flesh than the Jer-
seys and Guernsey, which makes them
more suitable for beef, and also for
crossing with beef breeds. Ayrshires
give more but thinner milk than the
Jerseys and Guernseys Their milk is
adapted for retail trade and
cheese making.
The Holsteins are the largest Of any
Of the dairy breeds. The calves are
large at birth and make good veal.
The Holsteins give by far the most
milk.

TOWN RUN BY ONE MAN.
CITY METHODS INTRODUCED AND RE-
SUITS AWAITED WITH INTEREST.

CITY METHODS INTRODUCED AND RE-
SUITS AWAITED WITH INTEREST.
w. J. Pilkington, of Des Moines, edi-
tor of the Merchants Trade Journal,
has taken absolute charge of every
business house in Dexter, Iowa, town
of 800, for seven months for the purpose
of proving that city methods will bring
prosperity to the merchant in a coun-
try town. Mr.. Pilkington has placed
the town in the hands of Guy Pogus,
who is personally conducting every
business, from the bank to the lumber
yard.
AT the end of seven months, he de-
clares. the profits will be doubled, trade
will be attracted to Dexter from other
points, and the city will be metropoli-
tan. AS all the members OF the city
council are remerchants, who have placed
their business in Pilkington's hands,
the latter is also controlling the muni-
cipal government, and has cleaned
streets and adopted many new ordin-
ances.
Mr.. Pilkington believes in advertis-
ing, with the result that the Dexter
paper has more advertisements than
the editor ever had before. The re-
markable experiment is attracting the
attention of business men all over the
Middle West.
