rs Not Nice WheA Mixed With Ssltzsr "a
tho New American Learned.
| An American who had recently
VIII VIII ! e eonbsa5d 1 ID Z I'.s safs sodcern-
ing what was the best temperance
drink. The companion was insisting
that a tamarindo >fria-which is an
iced connection from the tamarind
fruit-was the best he could do in this
country.
ooh! no.. said the newcomer,
"miik is milk anywhere. Give me
settler and milk. It's the best tee.
totaler's drink, in the guide. I've
drunk it from Maine to Frisco"
"Well, have you tried it on her e?"
inquired the friend.
No." said the other fellow. "but I
will just to show you that I know my
business.
Thereupon he Kissed at a waiter
who responded and was ordered to
bring "leche con seltz," which in
plain English is q settler and milk.
When it arrived the advocate of its
merits clinked glasses with his friend
who had tackled q fra and then he
took long pull. :
"Spt!" he went for convenient
cuspidor.
"Why this milk is sour" he OK
claimed. ''It's pretty near 'clabber.'
It'd make fellow sick" -: ~
1.-THE milk's all right" insisted his
companion. "Drink it if you think
settler and milk is the only thing. Go
on and drink it," -.
The temperance man smelled the
glass in front of him and then slipped
its contents. Again he insisted that
it was sour milk that, had been
brought to him. He called the waiter
and abused him in English until his
wiser comrade came to the walters
rescue and explained what the trouble
was. All milk in Cuba is boiled as
soon as it comes from the COW. In
no other way can it be kept, even with
the lavish use of ice. The climate
seems similar in effect to the atmos.
pheric conditions obtaining in the
States during thunder storm when
the good country housewives gem
orally find their milk spelling on their
hands. Boiled milk is kept in cafes
and bars and restaurants here have
just as fresh milk as IN the States and /
is used for the. same purposes. At |
first it, is rather .disagreeable to drink,
bnt after becoming accustomed to it I
one does not mind. It is q great
drink. late at night before retiring.
The Cubans generally put into it
panale, flakey cake of sugar and the
white of an egg, mixed and hardened.
This sweetens hemilk, destroying
The boiled taste and is at the same
time Strengthening. But they never
put seltzer in the milk, for that COM
bination makes it taste. exactly as
though it were raw milk which had I
,oured. ~ ;'' -
:. Another reason for boiling the milk
iere is the prevalence of bacteria of
I'll kinds, milk being such an absor.
oent that it is dangerous to drink it
'aw.s, The fact that tuberculosis ex-
SITS among the cattle is also another
easop for taking this precaution. It
s both economical and healthful.-

:" PruninE-Apple Trees in Winter.

There has been a great deal of argu.
ment as to which. lis the best season
for pruning apple trees. Some as.
sert that the work shonld be done at
q certain period, while others are
equally emphatic that some other sea-
son is much To be preferred, says a
writer in the Mississippi Valley
Democrat. And there are great many,
IN all, who think that the man who
advised that the pruning be done
when the tools are sharp" was
about right. It is true that the ex-
perts assure us that pruning should
be commenced when the tree is small,
and be so closely followed, year after
year, that there will be no necessity
for removing branches of much size,
even after the tree has reached its
full growth. Doubtless this is alt
right from the experts point of view.
For the man who IS able to give his.
whole time and attention to the. care
Of his orchard there may not be .
better plan. Such man can watch
his growing trees, and with pruning
knife, or shears. or at most a fine.
toothed saw, he can keep the top Of
the tree in good shape and can prevent
the growth Of branches which would
proveiHseless or worse than useless,
# they were allowed to remain upon
the tree. instead of being destroyed
when they We're buds or only email
shoots. But the man whose principal
business is farming and whose time is
largely occupied with the cultivation
of the soil and the care of live stock,
finds such'a course ,iF altogether i'm
practical. He wants ana ought. to |
have, something Of an orchard, but |
he must care for it more in. general
way and at "odd :jebs; 7~rather than
follow the. elaborate methods which
the professional fruit grower finds it
desirable, or perhaps, even necessary,
to adopt.
For the reason above noted, the /
great majority of farm orchards need
pruning, and, while it is easy to over
10 the work, great many of them
need good deal Of labor to bring the
rees into the best possible condition
or future usefulness. When this
work. shall be done is a question for
'ach owner to answer for himself,
md the answer, if it be a wise and
pdicious one, will depend very large
upon--his location, and circum-
tances. If located in the far north
he farmer will not attempt to do
much with his apple trees until thd'E
lext spring is fairly opened. This,
or the double reason. that during the
'inter the cold is much too severe to
Iork in the tree tops with any degree
comfort, aud because when low
emperatures prevail the removal OF
ranches at this season would be al
lost sure to permanently injure the
rees. 4,

How Fertilizers Anect Potatoes. "a
Three years test at the Virginia e1i
pertinent station seems to warrant the
conclusion that potatoes grown with;
ont fsrtilisers contain the greatest
amount of dry. matter. The addition
of fertilizer tends to diminish the dry
matter in proportion to the amount
applied. Potatoes grown with sulphate
of potash contain more dry matter than
where muriate was used. The ash did
not appearto be affected to any appre-
ciable extent aud the same is true ,of
starch. Neither the kind nor tho
amount Of fertilizer seemed to have
any effect upon the percentage of nj
trogen,, phosphoric acid and potash.
but the percentage of chlorine was
.consjdefsblE-higher when muriate Of
potash was Sused and increased with
the amount applied. 49,
