A Cuban Milkman.

"How many cows there are about
the streets" somebody exclaims, and
then he is calmly informed that the
mornings milk is simply being deliv-
cred. A bunch of cattle and their
driver stop before a house, and the
portero comes out with a cup for the
mornings supply. 1t is seen then that
the cows are being MIXED from door
to door by the dairymen, for this is the
way the acute Cuban housewives have
taken to assure for their tables lac
teal supply which is entirely fresh and
absolutely pure. Otherwise the guile
loving vender might dilute the milk
before delivering it to his customers,
and craftily stir into the watery fluid
the Juice of the sweet potato to color
it UP to duly rich and creamy cast.
Even with the cows MIXED before the
door one must continue to watch the
milkman, for | have even heard Of
their having a rubber bag of water con-
cealed under their loose frocks and
connected with rubber tube running
down the inside of the sleeve, it's tip
being concealed in the hollow of the

upon the bag of water within is needed
to thus cause both milk and water to
flow into the cup at the same time.
The milk vendors of Italy and India
have also learned their trade to perfec-
ton, for they practice this identical
trick.-Woman's Home Companion.

Notes About Geese,

A quiet. docile goose does better than
shy one.
Geese are generally allowed to sit on
a part of the second or third filters laid.
The eggs should be gathered as soon
after they are laid as possible to avoid
their being chilled.
A goose is usually given IL eggs for
a sitting, although very large one
might cover Is.
The fertile eggs usually hatch at the
end of IS or 80 days, but longer time
is occasionally required.
When each goose has her own nest,
she can easily be set at the end of the
second or third litter, as desired
The eggs should be kept in a modar-
ately warm place, not too dry, and
should be turned over every day until
set.
Children should never be alloMed to
approach geese during incubation, as
they are capable of infiicting serious in
jury.
Eggs can be successfully hatehed in
incubators, but most of the breeders
set the eggs under hens or geese.
The ganders should be left with the
geese during incubation They win re-
main near the nest OF their fayorite
and courageousIy defend her from any
intrusion.
1t is well to place food and water
near the nest of the sitting goose al
Matching time. so that she viii be less
likely to leave the nest before all the
goslings are Matched.

condition ragged and half
starved.
When the time came for him TO say
a few words he lavished praise upon
them. dwelling upon their bravery, en-
durance, and even upon their soldier
like appearance. This last compliment
was too much for the patience of the
old color-sergeant. He stepped for
ward attered and unkempt- saluted
most respectfully, and then said:

Selecting Seed Wheat,

This very good suggestion comes
from the Kansas Experiment Station,
and wheat growers should bear it in
mind. II is also applicable to other
grain crops, as barley and oats. 1t Is
common among corn raisers to main
tain or improve a given variety by Sc
lection of the seed. Ears showing de-
sirable characters are set aside, and
furnish seed for the succeeding crop.
Though not so convenient, this method
can be applied with equal success to
the selection of seed wheat. The Ex-
pertinent Station of the Kansas State
Agricultural College is endeavoring to
breed up improved varieties of wheat.
There is no reason why the simple
method of selection should not be ap-
piled by the individual wheat raiser.
We would advise the following pro-
cedure: Before harvesting, the grower
should go into the wheat field and Sc
lect a number of the most desirable
heads The basis of selection depends
upon the wishes of the individual, but
is carried on as in the case of corn.
Usually it will be upon the basis of
yield and quality. In this case the
heads selected should be large, well
formed. and with plump, uniform
grains. The grain derived from these
heads should be grown upon a plot of
ground under the most favorable con-
ditions. The grain gathered from this
plot furnishes the seed for the third
year. But, before harvesting, selec-
ton Of suitable heads should be made
from this for the next seed plot In
this way the seed is each year inn
proved or at least maintained at its
present standard. The size of the seed
plot depends upon the total area of
wheat to be grown. Furthermore the
seed plot may be given much more
careful treatment than is applicable 10
the field. 1t is best to have the seed
plot within the main field so as to be
entirely surrounded by wheat This
lessons the loss from grasshoppers and
other insects, and gives the plants bet
ter protection
