eating a large amount of blood cir
culation. The milk vein which ex-
tends from the udder along the under
side of the abdominal wall should be
large. crooked and long. These veins
bear a direct relation to the milk Sc
creted.
In addition to these general char
acteristics a breeder may desire dis
tinguishing breed characteristics and
uniformity OF type In his herd.
A happy combination of pedigree
and selection of the animal Is what is
needed by the breeder. The more
animals one has of high breeding
quality in the pedigree the less like
lihood one has of bringing together
two low producing characters and get
ting as a result an animal of low pro-
duction.
1t is generally conceded that the
influence of parents In heredity is so
per cent. OF the grandparents 25 per
cent, and of the great grandparents
tut 12.5 per cent. Thus an animal
that Is removed six or seven genera
tons from another animal under con-
sideration has but small influence.

TO PROPAGATE SMALL FRUIT
Cut Roots In Small Pieces and Piart
In Beds Of Rich, Light Soil,
Keeping Them Covered.

The usual mode Of propagating the
called suckers" which are produced
from the collar and spreading roots OF
the plant. A crop of these spring up
every year. Much better plants and
many more of them may be produced
by taking up the roots. cutting them
into small pieces, say an inch long,
and planting them in beds OF good
rich. light soil, with little bottom
heat and glazed sash over them UNI
til the plants are well rooted. They
may then be transplanted into the
open ground. BY this method fine
plants are made in one season-much
better plants than the ordinary suck
ers from old plants. The red rasp-
berry may be propagated by the same
method.
The American Black Cap family OF
raspberries are propagated from the
tips of the shoots which bend over
the latter part of summer and fas-
ten In the ground. When rooted the
branch is cut about six inches above
the ground. This is their natural
method of multiplying themselves.
Plants may be grown from seed
The berries are allowed to get dead
ripe. the seeds are then washed out
and sowh at once in fine, rich ground.
Cover with fine earth just the depth
Of seed Keep the soil moist un-
til plants are above ground. BY this
method new and valuable varieties
may be had
Wild blackberry vines growing along
the fence rows may frequently be
found producing an abundance Of
large. juicy berries; this is largely
owing to a deep, rich. moist soil and
partial shade. If such plants are
carefully removed and given the same
character of soil and moisture good
quality of fruit may be had at small
cost. For market the best varieties
should be planted.

ESSENTIALS IN SOWING SEED
Heavy, Coarse Soil VIII Never Pro
duce Good Results-Never Drench
Beds or Pots.

Moisture and temperature should be
carefully considered when sowing
flower seed. Do not use soil which
will not allow of perfect drainage and
at the same time hold moisture. Pure
sand and leaf mold, or good potting
soil mixed with white sand, will give
a good soil Tor sowing seed
Never mix manure in soil which is
to be used for this purpose. Seed of
rhododendrons. kalmias and orchids
which produce very delicate growths
may be sown on live sphagnum moss.
Heavy, coarse soil will never produce
good results. as seeds usually require
q much lighter soil than the mature
plants.
Never drench your seed beds or
pots, as that will weaken even sound
and strong seeds. Water thoroughly
enough to moisten the soil thoroughly,
as moist surface with a dry subsoil
is an evil. Seeds should never be al
lowed to become dry after they have
once started to sprout
Good drainage 10 an essential point.
A layer OF broken pots placed in the
bottom of the pot or bed in which the
seeds are started will be found a
great aid to drainage. Do not SOW
in deep boxes or pots, as the shallow
flats require much less attention as
to drainage.

to transfer her household goods to the
other side of the world.
Captain Ellicott and the protected
cruiser Maryland were in Alaskan
waters last summer when the order
reached him to head for Seattle and
pick up the secretary of the state,
Mrs Knox and the rest of the party
assigned by President Taft to rep
resent the United States at the fun
eral of the emperor of Japan. Miss
Priscilla was in Alaska also. Her
sister, the wife of Lieut.. Ross s.
Kingsbury of the marine corps, was
living in Honolulu, her husband being
stationed there. Miss Priscilla de-
cided that this was an excellent op-
portunity to visit her sister, especial
ly as this would enable her to greet
her father on his return from Japan.
Mrs. Knox Unties Red Tape.
Thus it came about that she was
there when the Maryland dropped an
Choir in Honolulu harbor, homeward
bound. Her mother was at Seattle. 1t
was natural that Miss Ellicott should
want to return home on the warship
her father commanded.
1t was therefore exasperating to find
a rule, made by Secretary of the Navy
William H. Hunt in 1881, that barred
her from her fathers ship. Some
young women would have cried a bit
and taken the next Pacific liner for
home. But daughter of the navy
is resourceful; she knows all about
red tape and how it is tied and united.
Was not Mrs. Knox on board? Had
not Mrs. Knox been cverjoyed after
weeks OF no society but that of men
to welcome her and her sister on
board? Had they not become very
friendly, as women will when they. are
far from home?
Saying nothing further to her IA
ther, Miss Priscilla spoke to Mrs
Knox about it. The wife Of the score
tary of state understood at once. Mrs.
Knox knew also that the secretary's
word was law on the Maryland. as he
was representing the president, and
that no naval regulation could be
raised against an order from him. She
knew, again, that Mr.. Knox would
grant her any savor she might ask.
So she told him she wanted to take
Miss ElIicott back to America as her
guest

Oldtown, Me.-To be specially-in-

ceremony, an active participant In the
accompanying festivities, and to dance
an Indian "suey" with the chief Of the
tribe was an honor recently conferred
on DR. Frank G. Speck, professor of
anthropology at the University of
Pennsylvania. During the Christmas
holidays, in response to a special in
vitation, he attended the biennial in
auguration of a new chief of the
Penobscot Indians, who live on Indian
Island, In the Penobscot river, near
Oldtown, Me.
The Penobscot inauguration is the
largest and most important ceremony
of all those of the northern Indian
tribes. 1t occurs every two years, and
is held on January in the town hall
OF the Indian village. DR.. Speck, in
describing the ceremony, said:
Early in the afternoon the entire
tribe, about 500 in number, assembled
in the town hall. Upon the platform
sat the retiring chief, Horace Nicola;
the newly-elected chief, Peter Nicola;
and their respective councils. The
older men and the officials of the tribe
occupied the front seats down on the
floor The children were seated in
the extreme rear of the building.
was accorded the honor of sitting with
the tribal dignitaries on the front
benches. The Inauguration consisted
of a speech by the retiring chief, well
coming his successor, and response
by the latter. Then the first handed
the new chief the symbols of the chief
executives Office. which consists of a
peace medal given to the Penobscots
in 1870 by Andrew Jackson. Follow
ing this the new chief and his council
were presented to the tribe by his
predecessor. Throughout the entire
ceremony there was the greatest dig
nifty. which made it all very impress
sive.
THE Inauguration occupied the en-
tire afternoon. In the evening came
the inaugural dance in the town hall.
This was the big event Of the day.

"Certainly- my DEAR" said Secretary
Knox at once, delighted at the idea
of giving his wife woman's compan-
ionship on the voyage.

And SO it happened that when the
American cruiser Maryland slipped
out from Honolulu harbor on October
5, flying the secretary of states flag,
she had princess as well as queen
on board Two steamer chairs occu-
pied the place of honor on the quar-
terdeck and the gallant young naval
officer had two pairs OF feet to wrap
up in steamer rugs.
On the bridge her father ruled. the
absolute monarch that a captain is at
sea. On the quarterback Mrs. Knox
reigned as queen, but shared her sway
with Miss Priscilla.
1t was a sociable company that
gathered in the admirals cabin at
meals. At the head OF the table sat
Mrs. Knox, charming every one by her
grace and tact Opposite her sat the
secretary of state, genial man of the

there were Walter L. Fisher, secre-
tary of the interior; Rear Admiral
Alfred Reynolds; Hugh Knox. the sec
retary's son; 3ansford s. Miller, chief
of the far eastern division of the state
department, and, Of course, Captain
Ellicott himself. And the gallant

table.
But the finest OF voyages must end.
The Maryland dropped anchor in Sc

Handling a Goose.

In handling a goose. it should all
ways be taken by the neck, and when
lifted from the ground the body should
be turned with the back toward the
person handling it. In that position it

If the goose is held facing one it will
