A much larger proportion of the cat.

state. This is due partly to the fact
that TWO herds from this section are
being dispersed. These animals are
from the j. l.. Kerr farm in Putney
and Attorney F. E. BARRIERS farm in
tins town. The Kerr herd contains
about 10 head, while the Barber farm
nerd contains about so. Another ele-
ment which to some degree enters into
the situation is the 60-day tubereuliu
retest regulation which the sales com.
pany is obliged to enforce on account
of the law which went into effect re.

FRENCH SENATE HAS TREATY.
Asked to Give Immediate and Unanimous
Ratification.

PARIS, Oct. S.-The senate met yes
terday afternoon to begin consideration
of the treaty of peace.
Leon Bourgeois, chairman of the peace
commission of the senate, delivered the
report of the commission on the treaty
to the senators. The report calls for
immediate and unanimous ratification. 1t
states that the question at issue is not
to compare advantages which other
allied nations receive from the treaty
with those attained by France, but that
the treaty must be regarded from the
point of view of its safeguards to French
interests.
The report further argues that France
must ratify the treaty Immediately in

over this village at an altitude of about
$500 feet They were chilled through
