Washington, May 21.-The state de-
partment has met the issue raised by
the coming to Washington of the Boer
delegation, by declining to interfere in
behalf of the South African republics
in the present struggle. In view Of this
announced decision all questions as to
the character of the recognition to be
extended to the delegates and the suf-
f1ciency of their credentials dropped at
once into the background. It was, after
all, of little moment whether or not the
Beers were received as diplomatic
agents or ministers. so long as they
were powerless to promote the prime
object of their mission, namely, to
cause the United States government to
intervene to bring about peace.
The meeting between the delegates
and Secretary Hay was brought about
in the simplest manner. General
OBierne had secured from the depart
ment last Saturday a promise to enter
tain any credentials that might be pre-
scented today. This morning a note
came to the state department from the
delegates asking that they be permit.
ted to present themselves at the depart
ment. A prompt acquiescence was re-
turned by Secretary Hay and the hour
OF 2:3O was fixed for the meeting.
Those Delegates Appear.
At that time the three delegates ap-
peared. They were unaccompanied and
were shown at once into the diplomatic
room. Secretary Hay, accompanied by
Mr.. Babcock, his private secretary and
stenographer, entered the diplomatic
room and cordially greeted his visitors.
Just what passed between them prob
ably will never be exactly known, for
when the meeting was over, after last
ing an hour, the Beers in departing
stated to a number of anxious news

have, nothing to say as to what hap

Dairying as PrnfessIon.

Ten or fifteen years ago cheese and
butter making was taught by rule of
thumb but the attention of scientists
has been turned to this interesting
field of work, and long list of men
in our experiment stations have raised
the business to the dignity of pro-
fesson and guess work has given
place to accurate knowledge. The in
vestigations that have been made, and
the inventions that have been perfect
ed in recent years make a thoroughly
scientific knowledge of dairying nee
essary to the highest success. and for
this reason the need and demand of
trained dairymen are constantly in
creasing.

Dairy Notes

A new reason for keeping i-.e cattle
out of doors more in winter is being
urged by some dairymen. They say
that when the cows, especially the
young ones, are kept in doors all the
time for several months their muscles
and ligaments get soft. When they are
turned out in the spring they have
weak cords and are also somewhat un-
accustomed to walking and running.
The result is that for the first months
a good many accidents occur to tho
cows that would be otherwise avoid
ed. The argument is for leaving the
cows out of doors in the winter time
as much as possible. We have never
noticed this aDove-stated fact, but
would be glad to hear from any Of
our readers that have noticed it. Are
accidents more common in the first
part of the pasturing season than
later?
From time to time we hear about
frozen milk being sent from Denmark
to other countries, and it seems fair
to predict that the shipment Of frozen
milk may become a factor OF consid-
erable Importance in commerce. One
Danish dairy company has evidently
entered on the work in earnest. 1t
has an establishment where over 1000
gallons of milk can be handled daily.
About one-fourth or the milk is frozen
artificially in cakes and placed in large
cans, each of more than 125 gallons ca
pacity. The next morning the cans are
filled with fresh milk and shipped. 1t
is said that the milk keeps sweet for
some weeks. 1t is finally heated by
hot water coils, so the melting will be
done gradually and no harm result
from the separation of different COM
ponents Of the milk A can was sent
to Paris and the examiners declare
that it was as fresh as if recently
drawn from the COW.

Profit in wen-F.ttened Chickens.

FRONT IN "eu-FAtteneO CnlCkenS.
The Maine Experiment Station has
been conducting series of expert
ments, one object Of which was to as
certain the profit in fattening birds
for market. A summary on this point
says; Taking the sixty cocped and
uncooped birds together and consider

opinions as to the advisability of SELL

pairing them for higher priced mar
kets.

An attempt is made to feed them only

man there is no necessity for them to

at was uncovered at Nippur. Some of
the documents go back as far before
Abraham as Abraham is before our time.
"Not a document discovered is less
than 1920 years before the Christian
era. That is about the period at which
Nippur's civilization was nipped in the
blossom by the Elamites, and Babylon
succeeded Nippur as the capital of Baby
lonia. Some of the documents are sup
posed to be at least 5000 years old.
NEARLY $4,000 documents were rescued
this year.
''The documents are clay tablets from
two inches by one inch to a foot and
half in length by one foot in width. They
cover every branch of literature known
to the early Semitic peoples. There are
lists of words written in both the Sumo
rian and Babylonian languages, exercises
in grammar, dates, hymns, proverbs, as
Economical works, astrological texts, in

time Abraham went out of Ur. Many
