Cheese at Home and Abroad.
Cheese making is a branch OF dairy
ing In which 1t. is impossible to draw
any close comparisons between the
methods and results in this country
and those abroad. says Henry e. Al
word Of the Department Of Agricul-
ture. For the production of large
quantities of cheese of uniform excel
lence 1t is believed the American fac
tory system. common to the United
States and Canada. is superior to any
thing elsewhere, and more systematt-
cally and economically conducted. The
average Cheddar cheese Of the Ched-
dar Valley itself of Somersetshire in
general. and of the best producing dis
tricts Of England and Scotland. are
no better than those of New York and
Wisconsin and the best Of Canada. In
variety and fancy cheese this CONT
nent cannot yet attempt to compete
with the Old World. II one would
learn the bottom facts about making
any, Of the famous specialties In cheese
he must go to the locality where they
originated. and where alone. often
within very narrow limits. they are
stsll made in perfection. This applies
to the English Stilton, the French
Roquefort and Its close kinsman. the
Italian Gorgonzola. the Edam and
Gouda Of Holland. the Gruyere and
Emmenthal of France and Switzer-
laad. the Parmesan OF Italy, and the

William Louth OF Arcola, Illinois, d
tSputed to own an old Plymouth Rod
hen that has many motherly traits
and ID an aHeetionate sort of creature.
Recently after being bereft Of brood
Of chickens she formally adopted
couple OF Kittens, and has since been
keeping them under the protecting
care Of her wing. The kittens were
already blessed with . maternal an.
csstor that provided for them and be-
slowed upon them the most indulgeut
attention. but this fact made NO difter-
ence to the hen. 10 she walloped the
cat until she was glad to get away,
and then. clucking to the kittens. she
cozened them under her wings.
Strange to say the kittens took kindly
to her and will now follow her about
any place. paying comparatively little
attention to their own mother.

Height Of Wheel and Draft Of Wagon
This is a subject regarding which
there is considerable difference Of
opinion. says bulletin of the D. g.
Department of Agriculture. The Mis-
souri, Station has put the matter to
practical test In a series of trials
made on macadam. gravel, and dirt
roads in all conditions, and on mead
ows, pastures, cultivated fields. stub
BILE land, etc. With 4 net load of 1000
pounds in all cases. three sets of
wheels were tested. as follows:
"Standard-front wheels, A inches;
rear wheels. 55 inches. Medium-front
wheels, 3S inches; rear wheels. 40
inches. Low-front waeels, "a inches:
rear wheels. 20 inches" The results
obtained and conclusions reached
we're, in brief, as follows:
For the same load, wagons with
wheels OF standard height drew light
er rnan those with lower wheels. The
difference in favor OF the standard
wheels was greater on road surfaces
in bad condition than on good road
surfaces. Low wheels cut deeper ruts
than those of standard height. The
vibration of the tongue is greater in
wagons with low wheels. For most
purposes wagons with low wheels are
more convenient than those of stand
ard height. Wagons with broad tires
anc wheels Of standard height are
cumbersome and require much room
In turning. Diminishing the height Of
wheel to from 30 to SO inches in front
and 40 to A inches in the rear did
not increase the draft in as great pro-
portion as 1t increased the conven-
ience Of loading and unloading the or
binary farm freight. Diminishing the
height of wheels below 30 inches front
and 40 inches rear increased the draft
in greater proportion than 1t gained In
convenience. On good roads. increas-
Ing the length Of rear axle. SO that
the front and rear wheels will run In
different tracks to avoid cutting ruts.
did not increase the draft. On sod.
cultivated ground. and bad roads
wagons with the rear axle longer than
the front one drew heavier than one
Wagons with the rear axle longer than
the front one require wider gateways
and more careful drivers, and ares ON
the whole, very inconvenient and not
to be recommended for farm use. The
best form Of farm wagon is one with
axles Of equal length. broad tires. and
wheels 80 to SO inchss. high in front
and 40 to A inches behind.

why Geese Need Ponds.

From Farmers Review: 1t is Ia
easier for me to raise geese than to
write about them. My experience with
than ID that they will. do better with
ponds. My reasons for this statement
is that If you notice goose on day
It is thawing you will notice she will
go anywhere that little water is on
the ground and act as II she was go
inE crazy to get into pond to swim.
Then. again, take geese that are shut
in yards and only get water to drink,
will they not stand about the water
dish trying TO wash until the water is
all gone? once saw q goose that
was penned and could not have any
more than enough water to drink,
have what I call at. She would go
through the motions che would II she
was in a pond of water. and was un-
able to stop. After this the goose
was allowed to go to the pond and
WAS all right but as soon as she was
kept from 1t any length of time she
would be rs bad as ever Then again
these geese that have NO ponds do
not lay as fertile eggs "a the geese
that do have ponds. II wished to
keep geese and had no ponds for
them should take large tanks and
sink them in the ground where the
geese could get to them and keep the
tanks full Of water at all tines. Last
winter when the ponds were frozen

Twenty years ago Kansas had but
