CONFIDENT OF ADJUSTING
VENEZUELAN DIFFERENCE.

PARIS, Feb. 3.-The advices re-
ceived here from Ambassador JUS
serand, summarizing the statues of
the Venezuelan negotiations at Wash
ington, lead the officials to express
more confidence in an adjustment OF
the difficulties than at any time prev
ious. The tendency here appears to
be toward allowing the allies month
or other brief period for priority col
lection of the customs. As it is es-
timated that the amount which would
thus be collected will not exceed $780,
600, it is considered that it will not
interfere seriously with ultimate
equality in the treatment OF all the
claimants. 1t is further said here
that negotiations have developed a
general Discrimination to consider a
reference to the Hague court of arbi-
tration as means of terminating the
differences.

How rhey a,lk iu Porto Rico.


The following from the government
report on dairying in Porto Rico
shows how the operation OF milking
is performed there. 1t Is not quite
worthy Of initiation.
The bind legs Of each COW are tied
together with q short piece Of strong
rope to prevent kicking. The rope Is
necessary in some cases, though very
often It Ii useless, as many cows re-
main perfectly quiet. Each calf is
near its mother, but not allowed to
take any milk until 1t Is her turn to
be MIXED. When that time comes the
Calls appetite Ii we'll stimulated by
the long fast and by the short time
the breakfast has been almost but not
quite, within reach. The milker re-
leases the calf. allows 1t to draw q lit
tie from each teat, simply to start 1t.
then puts the calf out OF the way, and
draws into q pail what he considers
about three-fourths Of the milk In the
udder. The calf Is then allowed to
have the rest. Sometimes the milker
takes all the milk he can get from
three teats. leaving the fourth for the
calf, which Is much better division.
II the mixer does not succeed In get
ting a. much milk IA he thinks he
should have, the calf Is allowed 10
start it q second time. As soon a. the
mixer is through. the rope used to
prevent kicking In removed, and the
COW and calf are ready to 90 to pas
ture. The yield per COW varies from
one pint to more than 6 quarts.
