STRICT RULES FOR DIPLOMATS
Venetian Ambassadors Hold SternIy
to Their Duties.

Venice was the leader in medieval
diplomacy and its ambassadors were
compelled to keep close watch over all
Venetian interests in foreign places.
According to a law of 1868 ambassa
dors were rot allowed to be accompan-
led on their missions by their wives
lest state secrets should leak out
They must. however, take their own
cooks to avoid being poisoned No
present could be received without the
consent of the state. After 1888 each
envoy was required by law to file a
written report of his ministry with the
keeper of the archives. Later 1t was
maue unlawful for an ambassador to
hold conversation with strangers or
to write letters on political questions
add essed to persons not connected
with the government So severe were
the regulations that it became a diff.
cult matter to obtain the best men for
the foreign service. Fines had to be
imposed upon the aprointees who re-
fused to depart for their posts.

The Milking Machine.

The makers OF milking machines
seem determined not TO give up the
attempt to place on the market a ma
chine that viii really work. A ma
chine is now being manufactured in
a small city in New York. but is not
yet placed on the market The manu-
facturers have, however, made num-
Der of machines. and are trying them
In the neighborhood. This machine
will milk as many as ten COWS at
once, and with it one man milks
about thirty-two COWS in an hour and
a half, night and morning. The manu-
acturers themselves, however. do not
seem as enthusiastic as are most
makers of milking machines, and this
is 8 thing in their favor, as they APP
parently recognize the great difficulty
of getting a machine that will worl
CORRECTLY and that can be kept clean.

Jersey Cattle.

Ii is rather strange that a very little
island in the English Channel should
have produced a breed Of COWS that
has become the leader as a specific
dairy breed and that is now known
the world around It is also rather
strange that the world has so taken
to this breed that now there are hun
dreds Of times more Jersey COWS pro-
duced ia other countries than in the
Isle OF Jersey The secret Of the
influence Of this breed is that in this
island they have been selected and
bred for long time along lines that
must result in the production OF the
very best possible dairy COW.
This little Island of Jersey formed
part of the Duchy of Normandy in
early times. 1t is about IL miles long
and not more than seven wide, not
much larger than two townships in
the United States. Its area is about
81 square miles and about 10000
acres. 1t viii thus be seen that its
area is much less than that included
in the city of Chicago. The climate
is, however, very salubrious and peo-
pie find it delightful place in which
to live. This is probably the reason
why its population is $1,000 or there
abouts. more than 1000 to the square
mile.
The exact origin of the Jersey cat
tie is unknown, but il is believed that
they came from Normandy. The con.
slant selection of the finest types did
the rest The care they have received
is responsible for the production of a
COW that is a great milk producer but
is not one suited to roughing it The
all kinds of hardships should not Sc
lect a Jersey.

Dusty Stables.

long ago came to the conclusion
that it Is not desirable TO have hay
dust constantly blowing or falling
about the mixer. This hay dust has
on il many kinds of bacteria which
get into the milk and affect it. some
times quite in5uriously In an old
stable waere we used to keep our
COWS the row was just above the
heads and backs Of the cattle. The
cracks between the boards were not
very tight, and in the spring when
most Of the hay had been used the
Gust cas- u fell through these cracks
and onto the COWS A cat running
over the boards above would send
down a shower, which comprised mill
lions Of particles. Even the cows NOV
ing about and iarring the boards would
start small shower which, while not
much noticed. contained many germs
that we did not desire to have in the
milk We had a great deal OF trouble
with our milk, which was peddled out
TO customers by milkman that pur-
chased it from us. He said that some
times the complaints were that II
would not keep and at others that
there was in the milk a hayey flavor.
Still at other times the complaint was
that in the settling in the can there
was fine grayish cloud. which knew
TO be hay dust
So | determined to shut OF the dust,
which / found not a very easy thing
10 do, especially as We fed from the
floor in front of the COWS. The first
thing / did was to make the part over
head so tight that nothing could gel
through Then I constructed a lone
manger for the COWS to eat from and
that relieves us from the necessity o.
feeding on the floor. However, / find
that even now we have TO be careful
not to get the hay stirred up before
we have completed milking. l wisE
other readers of the Farmers Review
would tell US their experience with

Pastel Tinted Waists.

Pastel tinted shirtwaists are APP
proved by Dame Fashion for wear
with coat suits, but not with white
linen or serge skirts. Apropos of white
serge, this material has been restored
to the greatest favor. The chic sum-
mer girl viii have at least one serge
costume with short skirt and coat elab-
orately braided But to return to the
shirtwaist, the one dominant idea is
that 1t shall be transparent, whether
destined for wear in the morning or
for an afternoon walk. A good rule
for the home fashioner of the blouse
to follow is that all widths are cut the
exact length of the figure for front,
back and arms. There is no extra ma
terial allowed for a droop on the
sleeves at the elbow. which style is
now decidedly de mode. The sleeves
are full, but do not bag, and the mate
rial is cut the length of the arm, The
pin tucks, run daintily by hand, do
