nature. He has charge of all arrange
ments for state occasions which are not
social, but in which the president is the
principal. He greets in the name of the
president a member of a royal family or
ruler of a foreign state visiting Washing
ton. He is present during the foreigners
call of etiquette, and attends the president
in returning the visit, which is the only
visit the president is called upon to repay
in our social code. He arranges the audi
ences which are accorded by the president
to diplomatic ministers in presenting their
credentials on arriving at this capital or
on taking their leave.
The secretary of state also has certain So
cial obligations which are not imposed
upon his colleagues. He gives the repre-
sentatives of foreign governments residing
near the government at Washington a dip
lomatic breakfast Immediately after the
New Years call of the corps upon the pres
ident. He also during the social season
entertains the members of the foreign lega-
tions and their ladies at a diplomatic re-
ception, or series of dinners at his resi-
dence. Once a week, moreover, he must
receive, on a day set apart for that purpose,
all the members of the diplomatic corps
who care to call upon him, and our artist
has given a very spirited picture of a scene
in the great diplomatic room at thedepart-
ment, at one end of which is Mr.. Blaine's
desk, during one of these weekly recep-
hons.
The state department has for the last
fifteen years occupied a part of one of the
grandest buildings in Washington. The
War, State and Navy building, which
stands near the White House, has few
equals in the world in massive proportions
and architectural beauty. 1t cost very
nearly $12,0 O0, 900. and is constructed in the
style of the Italian renaissance, the ma
terial being Maine and Virginia granite.
The interior of the building has been con-
structed in q magnificent and yet entirely
substantial manner. There are wide stair
cases of granite with bronze balusters, long,
spacious corridors and innumerable apart
ments, which are richly frescoed and
adorned and furnished as we'll with every
convenience which could be suggested for
transacting the business of the three de-
partments for which the building was
erected.
Perhaps the most interesting bureau of
the great department is that of indexes
and archives. This bureau has charge of
all letters and documents, and hundreds
of official papers are carefully examined
and filed every day. Within the big cases
that line the walls are the accumulated doc.
uments of the hundred years of national
diplomacy. Although there are thousands
of these state documents, anything that is
wanted can be obtained in a short time, sc
perfect is the system of filing and refer
ence. The demand is almost constant and
it embraces a wide range of subjects. Pa
pers relating to every country in the world
with which this country has diplomatic
connections are called for to be used in the
Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1892-02-12

RECEPTION TO H DIPLOMATIC CoRPs
The chief of the state department is next
in line of presidential succession. If presi-
dent Harrison and Vice President Morton
were to suffer death or disability, Secretary
Blaine would become president under the
succession law of 1885. The state depart
ment used to lave charge Of the taking of
the census, of the territories, of patents and
many such things which are now under
other departments of the government. The
staff of the secretary is composed Of two as
sistant secretaries, a chief clerk, six bureau
chiefs and about seventy five clerks. The
annual appropriation for support of the
department is about $4,000, of which
sum $4,000 is at the disposal of the secre-
tary for secret work, and for which sum
he is not required to account to congress.
The secretary of state, in his position as
premier of the administration, enjoys pre-
negatives not common to other members
Of the cabinet, and is charged with special

e~hropshire Raisers Are Pushing the IL
terests of This Fin Breed.
The Shropshire Registry association
meeting, held at Buffalo this year, was
the first meeting Of the society ever
held east of Chicago. In this one indus
try-Shropshire sheep breeding-all lines
between Canada and the United States
are obliterated. Breeders from both
sides of the border belong to the associa-
ton, and all work together with enthu-
siasm for the Shropshire sheep. The
recommendation was made by the presi-
dent that size of carcass should be tho
first object arrived at in &hropshire
breeding, letting fancy points take a Sec
ond place.
The Buffalo Express says of the Shrop-
shire conventions:
"For eve years past their annual con-
vention has been held in Chicago, but
in Difference to representatives of eastern
breeders they were induced to make q
move in this direction this year. The
association was started at Lafayette,
Ind, in 1884, by six breeders with a
fund of $4,000. It now numbers nearly
$50 members, a large percentage of
whom hail from Michigan and Canada.
The headquarters are at Lafayette, Ind.
The main object is to establish a record
for the keeping and tracing of pedigrees
of pure bred Shropshires in the United
States and Canada and publishing the
same. The association also stimulates
the breeders by offering prizes at state
and local exhibitions. The history of
the wool trade shows that there is u profit
able field for the farmer who would sci
entifically apply himself to the raising of
this commodity. OF the members of
the association there are in Michigan

A paper of especial interest was given
by Professor Thomas Shaw, of the On.
tario Agricultural college at Guelph.
His subject was ''The Shropshire in its
relation to the sheep industry in the
United States" Professor Shaw ex-
pressed surprise that more attention Is
not given to the sheep industry in this
country, stating that of the 81, 300, O00,,
600 invested in live stock here only $1O8,
DOC, 900, or 4 per cent, is invested in
sheep. He said the country is favorable
for raising sheep and for raising the
proper kinds Of fodder for them, and fol
these reasons he thought the industry
could well be extended to double its
present proportions.

in New York and Pennsylvania. The
cows are very gentle in disposition. A
herd Of this breed at an agricultural fair
would be a picturesque and striking at
traction. From the large quantity Of
milk they yield the COWS would make
excellent dairy cattle.
Breeders of these animals have formed
the Dutch Belted Cattle association and
adopted a scale of points which will
enable cattle to be registered, and to ex-
hibit in a herd book what are considered
to be the best features of this family.
Doubtless the public will oon hear more
of them.

Prices for Racing Horses.

The prices paid lately for racing horses
is enough to make the plain breeder go
back on his draft or all-purpose nags and
60 in for fancy animals. st. Blaise, the
famous thoroughbred stallion, brought
at auction 800, 900 in New York. Nancy
Hanks, the little Kentucky trotting mare
that lately made her mile in 200, was
bought at the close of the racing season
for $50, 900 by J. Malcolm Forbes, Of Bos-
ton. But don't hurry about going into
race horse breeding. The horse that com
mands the great price is about az n in
200, and what will the owner do with all
the running and trotting colts that prove
failuresa They are no good for anything
else.

produced by the Holstein. The amount
of food required is less for the Dutch
Belt, her frame being closer knit than
that of the Holstein, and being more
rugged she is more easily kept. When
the Dutch Belt cows milking days are
over she is easily fattened and makes ex-
cellent beef.
1.-THE Holstein, having a larger frame,
requires more food, and as she grows
older tends to beef, producing a less
quantity of milk. OF the two breeds the
Dutch Belt seems to be preferable on our
farm"
Our second illustration shows a beau
tiful Dutch Belted COW, one Of the hand
soonest ever seen in America. In a general
way the Dutch Belts are smaller than
the Holsteins, a Belt weighing on the
average 1000 pounds, a Holstein 1,400
Not more than 700 of the Belts are as yet
to be found in the United States. One
of these COWS has been known to give
1000 pounds of milk in a year, a pound
of milk for every pound of meat on her
bones.
The Belts are so strikingly handsome
that they have bee,l mostly kept in Hol-
land heretofore on the estates of wealthy

Two Illustrations of These Holland Cattle
Of Distinguished Lineage.
The Dutch Belted cattle are attracting
some general interest. Wherever they
have been bred they are very popular.
Miss Minnie Louise HOFFMAN, a talented
young newspaper woman of New York,
who has made herself well acquainted
with both the Dutch Belted cattle and
the Holsteins, sums up the difference be-
tween the two breeds rs they have been
found to exist in the course Of several
years observation on a breeding farm in
which she is interested.
Miss Hoffman writes concerning the
Holstein and Dutch Belt: ION the same
amount of food the Dutch Belt will give
more milk. The richer milk though is

Live Stock Points,

Alfalfa makes first class pasture for
bees.
Remember: Fat is destructive of vi
tality.
Peas and barley are the boss diet for
hogs in the northwest.
The best honey crop for 1891 in Amer
lea was gathered in Colorado.
A pig for market should have its fat
tening period begin before it is BORN
Colonel F. D. Curtis.
Plant louise honey dew is not fit food
for bees, and they will not eat it. 1t is
merely an insect deposit.
Most farm poultry raisers destroy
their stock by permitting in and in
breeding year after year.
In the production of comparatively
small sized Clydesdale horses American
breeders are quite equal to those of
Scotland.
No matter how long the cold wave
puts off its coming in the fall, it always
finds some live stock man who is not
ready for it.
A correspondent of The Southern Live
Stock Journal thinks he has discovered
that there is such a thing as giving a
horse too much hay.
At the Ontario Agricultural college q
favorite food in feeding swine is the fol-
lowing: Two parts ground peas, one
part ground barley, n part ground
oats and n part wheat middlings.
A herd of fifty Jersey COWS in milk,
gathered from the champion COWS in all
parts Of the United States, will be one
of the features of the Columbian fair.
Those desiring to contribute should COM
municate with the American Jersey Cat

In Scotland, Mr.. Alexander Galbraith
has informed a Clydesdale association
that old country breeders of these horses
are committing a great mistake in maxi
ing "big feet and sloping pasterns the

ing. At any rate that was the way to
ruin their trade with America, for

harvesting Pean.

Every one who harvests cow-peds
in the usual way knows it is too ex
pensive. From % to so per cent. of
the crop saved is given for picking.
In some cases the pods are sufficient
inducement for the picker to thresh
out the 80 per cent. left to grower.
Economy suggests a machine to do
this work and there are two distinct
patented machines now nearly re 4dy
to be put on the market. Both
machines have been in practical
operation and both have special
adv antages and failines, but in their
present forms they can be very profit
ably used. The Eureka, the newest
of these, gathers up the vines by
means of hooks on a roll, threshes
them and drops the peas in a box
below while the vines, pods and leaves
are carried back by a second roll and
dropped on the ground This ma
chine is adapted to gather peas sown
broadcast for the Improvement Of
the land The threshing device is
imperfect yet, and many pieces OF
pods that contain peas which ought
to be saved are dropped. This defect
will be remedled or reduced before 1t
is put on the market.
The Savage pea and bean harvester
is adapted to gather from rows. In
addition to its regular business it
will pick cotton, gather turnip or
any similar seeds il grown in rows.
At a trial given it Cd Mr.. L, r.

to not driving properly over the row,

probable losses from not hand-rick-

James Whitcomb Riley, in addition
to being the best dialectpoet we have
is one of the best story tellers in the
world He has given away the secret
of his success both as poet and as a
story-teller in an article in the Deem

ture,'' in which he tells the difference
(which is a radical and important
difference) between man who knows
the people that speak dialect and the
man who tries to thrust a dialect on
people whose speech and character
he does not know; for dialect is deep
err than mere speech: it is a report of
character.

The Silver Conference.

From the Baltimore Sun.
The failure of the monetary confer
ence at Brussels is anticipated by OBJ
servers of the situation. Mr.. Roth
schild's proposal has been withdrawn.
Its rejection by the American dele
gates is taken to mean that what
they want is not merely an inceased
use of silver, but universal bimetal-
lism. In that Europe feels no inter
est. 1t has been brought out that
the continuation of the Sherman act
cannot be guaranteed. The American
delegates are not, in fact. in a posi-
ton to promise anything. Their
arguments for bimetallism produce
no result, Icing old and exploded. SO
that, as missionaries, they are inef-
fective. The silver market reflects the
general conviction that nothing can
be done to make silver-produced in
large quantities at a cost of 26 an
ounce-sell at $I29 an ounce, or
anything like it.
