Of the conference, the baron declined

ssIA's FINAL WORD.
said TO Convey n sincere Desire For
Satisfactory settlement.

ST. Petersburg. Aug 22-The Rus

tons TO NJ Witte. outlining the course
that he shall pursue at the reopening
Of the peace conference at Portsmouth,

iersburgs last message, The brief
breathing spell will have ended. ST..
Petersburg leaves a final word with
her representatives at Portsmouth.
sincere Desire for Settlement.
When the nature Of these communi
cations become generally known. il Will
be seen that in a sincere desire to ef
feet a satisfactory settlement. the gov
eminent has gone as far as It's extreme
" vital state interests will permit 1t
can further be said that for this reason
the government is firmly convinced
that in case of failure Of she negotia
tions. tlpe responsibility will not rest
with Russia, which has conceded much
already.
Nothing Actually Known.
While 1t is impossible to learn the
actual contents Of the governments
communication TO NJ. Wiue. 81 can be
declared that the requirements Of the
state make concessions on the questions
Of indemnity and Sakhalin, as these
questions we're originally presented by
the japanese impossible.
II is certain that in the matter of
concession, the four points now in dis
pute have been considered and studied
here in the light Of concessions, Russia
already has granted on the other eight
articles.
Gratitude 20 President.
The foregoing Is a brief but accurate
outline Of the platform upon which NJ.
Witie will meet the japanese plenipo-
bntiaries.
Baron de Rosens reports regarding

appreciation for President Roosevelt's

communications TO the emperor are
such as do not require special an

A Hopeful Feeling.
A hopeful feeling is noticeable here
that peace Is still possible. and it is
believed by some that Russia's answer
will give material evidence Of such a
sincere desire 10 reach a settlement
that Japan will practically be forced
10 accept II or appear before the world
as utterly unreasonable and Unsuitable.

Jersey Cattle.

It is rather strange that very little
island in the English Channel should
have produced a breed of cows that
has become the leader as 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 in 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 II miles long
and not more than seven wide, not
much larger than two townships in
the United States. Its area Is about
g. square miles and about 100000
acres. It will thus be seen that its
area is much less than that included
in the city of Chicago. The climate
is, however, very salubrious and PEG.
pie find it delightful place in which
to live. This is probably the reason
why it's population is $4,000 or there.
abouts, more than 1000 to the square
mile.
The exact origin of the Jersey cat
tie is unknown, but it 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
COW that is great milk producer but
is not one suited to roughing it. The
man that wants COW that will stand
all kinds of hardships should not Sc
lect a Jersey.

MISCEEI;ANE
Dusty Stables.

long agJ 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 it many kinds of bacteria which
get into the milk and affect it, some.
times quite injuriously. In an old
stable where we used to keep our
COWS the NOW 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
dust easily fell through these cracks
and onto the cows. A cat running
over the boards above would send
down a shower, which comprised mil.
lions OF PARTICLES. Even the cows NOV
ing about and Earring the boards would
start q small shower which, while not
much noticed, contained many germs
that we did not desire to have in the
milk. We had great deal of trouble
with our milk, which was peddled out
to customers by a milkman that pur.
chased it from us. He said that some.
times the complaints were that 1t
would not keep and at others that
there was in the milk 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 off the dust,
which found not a very easy thing
to 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 get
through. Then | constructed a long
manger for the cows to eat from and
that relieves us from the necessity Of
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 wish
other readers of the Farmers Review
would tell us their experience with
hay dust. .. @t .-f q ..

Neither a poor man nor rich man

in a monarchical country or under an
aristocratic system Of society, says the
New York Sun. The word gentle
man" is unknown in our law. In the
sense of expressing moral qualities,
the only sense in which it can be used
here, the term gentleman" applies,
of course, to every man entitled intrin'
sically to receive 1t as a designation
of courtesy; but even In that usage 1t
is a term so vague and indefnable
that it is not worth talking about. 1t
may be said, however, never to apply
properly to any American who boasts
of being a gentleman" because Of any
accident of his mere material circum'

them, he should not receive the title
