Thie especially teue on farms iviilme p85- .6irage ablinclant Geese are great foragers and eat More grass, weeds and pasturage than any other kind of fi.4v1. This makes them esPecialiY trcketive in these days 'ef high-priced grain feeds: It is mo0st important that geede liave a good grim -range available diming the ..summer, --while 'pool o water for bathing and reereational purposes is also a desirable feature.. • Thesnuirket for geese is not so gen- eral as for chickens, This point should ,be considered in undertaking the raising of geese, as most of the sales in eitiee are made around the holidays, although a few will' sell the Whole year retina.' One of the best -things about geese is their extreme hardihood, Geese are rugged birds and need shelter only in winter or stormy weather. An open shed or an old barn -Usually is satisfactory for this purpose. From four to twenty-five geese may be kept one -an acre of land, although under meet conditions ten is a fair average. Geese are fed a ration' to produce eggs during the latter part of the winter so that the goslings *111 be hatched by the time there is good grass pasture. The eggs may be hatched by either chickens, geese or incubator. Some breedere prefer to raise the goslings under hens, as geese sometimes become difficult to, manage when allowed to hatch and rear their young. The period of en- • cubation varies from twerity-eight to thirty days. • Goslings do not need feed until they are twenty-four or thirty-six hours old, when they can be started on one of the brands of chick feed, along with one,_ feed a day of a, mash or dough cOlnposed of equal parts of shorts (middlings) and corn meal, with five per cent. of beef scrap acyed after the goslings are six weeks old. Bread and milk are a good occasional feed for ypung goslings. Eine grit or sharp sena should also be avail- able. If the goslings are to be...fat- tened the ratien should be gradually changed to one-third shorts and two- thirds corn meal by weight, with five per cent. of beef scrap ,added, while a feed of corn should be given at night us soon as the -birds are large enough to •handle the -whole grains. Achilt geese *naybefed Inc egg production in early spring on a mask of one pound of C0rT1 meal,sone pound of bran, one pound of middlings or low-grade flour, and eighteen per cent. of beef scrap, which is fed in the morning; equal parts of corn and wheat, or corn alone, is fed at night. Grit and oyster shell rshoulcl be kept before the geese,especially when they are laying. A constant supply of drinking water should always be available under protection in bad weather, so that the, geese can not get their feet into the water. Cut clover hay, alfalfa, silage, cabbages, mangel-wurzel beets, or any waste vegetables may be fed during the winter months. Many breeders pluck the feathers from their live geese at some time mem to molting. Some pick every six weeks during the summer and early fall, while others pick only once or twice a year. Feathers are ripe for Picking when the quills appear dry and do not contain blood. About one pound of feathers can be picked from each godse per year. The de- mandefor goose feathers and the prac- tice of plucking geese appear to be decreasing, attention being concen- trated on a production of young geese for market. Lots of market poultry- men make a specialty of fattening ••••••••••• How Iijelc Cows That Win. Smith, .4 neighbor up the road, happened to drop in one mining when I was testing milk, , He was much intereeted, in the peocees, and wanted to know all about its/ "Thet is a Babcock tester. I'm test-. ing nulik title Morning," I told him. "You see," I explained, "by ;Using Dies I can find out if my cows are ,paying tor themselvee." „ • "Now de it done?" • "By means of this pipette I mains out a certain amount of each cow's milk. Then I put it into this milk - test bdttle and put in with it a de- finite quantity of commercial sul- phuric acid, This acid burns ill) everything except the fat, and ,then I put the bottles into the machine and whirl them /or a few minutes. As the bottles are whirled they straighten out, and, the butterfat, being lighter, goes up.into the neck of the bottle." "But how can, you tell," he asked, "how much fat there is?". "You see on each bottle" --A showed him one --"there are lines gfaduated or measured off, so that these lines measure the fat in the bottle." "But after you find hew much fat a cow gives, how do you know if she „is paying for herself?" "If the bottle shows that there is a certain per cent. of fat in her milk, it will also show you just how much butter hhe makes for you in e year. The way to do is to weigh her milk ,The a certain period of time, and mul- tiply that -by the per cent. of butter- fat the Babcock test shows, and add one-sixth for the overrun in making the butter." "Could you tell foe a week or a day?" "Yes, indeed. Suppose a cow gave 30 pounds of milk a day, or 210 pounds each week. Four per cents of that would be 8.4 pounds, and one- sixth of that added to it is 9.8 pounds., which means that a 'cow testing four per cent. would give butterfat to make 9.8 pounds of butter each week." "How much ought a cow to give in a year to be profitable?" he in- quired. "It is estimated by the best author- ities that a tow should give at least 250 pounds of butterfat each year, and 6,000 pounds of milk." "Then by weighing the milk every milking One can tell at the end of the year what a COW does," he remarked. "But one cannot test every day." "No, that is not necessary, though of course it would be better. If the milk as saved out for testing morning and night for one day, then tested once a month, and the average taken for the milking period of the cow; that ought to give a fairly accurate estimate." "Did you ever find that any of your cows were better or worse than you supposed?" he wanted to know. "Do you remember that cow that I bought of Williams? She was sup- posed to be a pure -blood, and could have been registered. I expected great results front her in the butter - making line, as she came from a but- ter -making breed. After keeping her for a year and testing her milk each month and weighing it each day, I figured all she gave me was 4,000 pounds of .milk and 195 pound -s of butterfat. "Then there is old Brindle, a grade cow. I had an idea she wasn't good. But I thought I'd try her for a 'year and see. I was surprised. She pro- duced over 6,500 pounds of milk and 350 pounds of butterfat. That was nothing wonderful, but it shows that one cannot geese: Every dairyman that has used n tabcock teeter can tell you of similar surprises." While our experience has proved that there is no more profitable class of live stock, yet many flocks of sheep are kept without proper returns. This is because • of lack of up-to-date methods in breeding and care. It is wrong to think that as the main pur- pose of sheep on agricultural lands is that of ectivenger it is therefore useless to invest in well-bred animals, as any common sheep will eat weeds and other Waste. Sheep will consume and turn into gold the weeds, sprouts, and other such things on the farm that are worse than useless and which other animals would refese to eat, but they will pay still better if fed good ra- tions. Furthermore, as e•• factor, in maintaiuing and metering soirfektil- ity, the sheep'. stands in a class by itself. This is better recognized in European countries, paeticularly in England, where on certain high-priced lands the landlord •often stiptlatee that a certain eumber of sheep shall be kept by his termite in order to maintuin the fertility .of the soil. Of course, the breeding of the flock is a big factor -in success or failure. Tt is important to select types of sheep best adapted to profit. If .you start with grades, enly .058' purebred sires of a particular breed, Do not select a ram from 0110 breed one year and expect improvement to follow, for it will tot. However, the itenclard of a flock can be liaised very rapidly' by using good sires each year and milling out the inferior ewe lambs. For best results, lambs should be taught to eat grain as early as pos- sible. Corn and oil calce in "pea" form make a very •good ration. The lambs should be fed grain in a "creep," that 10, an. enelesure into which the hurdle may pass, but whose entrantes are e6t, large enough to atitnit the ewe. The lint alit inontba laIrth's' life are the most fm portant, trid even though they may bave access to almndent posture, Whatever 8115 may give them in the way of grain feed will be well repaid by increased thrift and growth. In the case of a kicking cow, the first thing to do is, to find out the caise and remove it if possible. A cow hardly ever kicks unless ,there is a good reason for it, Possibly her teats and- udder are tender, possibly they are cracked and chapped and when you .milk her it hurts, and if this is so you can't 'blame a cow for kicking. The udder and teats should be examined and if. they are sore Or tender they should be attended to. Boiled linseed oil is as good as any. You could nee vaseline, or 'cam- pheeatettsvaseliiie. It is very healing and soothing. Then again, sometimes the milker has thick callouses' on his hands and this hurts When you • squeeze •the teate, or a 'Mikes, may have long sharp 'finger. nails, • etc. Discover the cause ahd remove it ,if possible, You can't break a clew from kick- ing by abusing -her. It does not do to thrall a cow for kicking. You have get to let her utderstancl that you are her friend, that you are trying to do things for 41er-benefit and when thls As done in (the right way there is very little ttobble. However, there are cows that are vicious that will kick and hook, and when you get one like that about the only. way is to tio hoe legs when yet milk her. Put a ring and staple in 1 •-trit of, her, hav- ing a good 'wide strap nbout the leg, lest above the gamble or lust above the ankle; draw the tope "Ini tight ivhen the leg is in position for nreilk-' ing.

We keep our horses in about the .same flesh the year around; not over- ly fat, nor poor, When, they are kept this way the ones% always fit, and if your collars are good ones and fit good you need not worry about sore shoulders in the spring. We never use sweat -pads on our regular team, they are a nuisance and a damage to the hose' s neak, no 'matter how well you may fit tFem onlour team. They absorb the Sweat, gather the shedding hair and form it into lumps which are continually causing sores. After a hard day's work they are soaked with moisture which never dries all the time they are used. , How many have•worn rubbers that bold the moisture , from one day to the other'and always. keep your feet cold and damp? Well, it's the same With &eat pads. If you haven't the hest of harnesses give them a good collar and bridle to wear at least. These are the two things that either gives them comfort or pain. Next, look to their feet. See that they are in good condition. If your team cannot go without shoes, watch that they are 'not left on too long, thus 'Causing the foot to grow crooked and probably break ..the hoof. We do not shoe our horses at all unless there is hauling on the road to be done. All we do i to trite their -feet occasion- ally to keep them from becoming rag- ged. Personally, I do not like shod horses for plowing or other work on a soft field; many times in turning around at the ends or getting into a soft spot the horses step on each other, sometimes cutting- their legs or feet quite severely. The first few days 6± plowing should not be rushed.. Let them take it easy. Give them their "wind" often. Plowing is hard work and it takes a few day e for the team to get the "hang" of it. A New Test for Corn. Some people try to make us believe that they can tell the strength of their seed -corn by mexely looking at it. Others take a few grains prom- iscuously from their seed supPly and sprout them in a flower pot. You may be able to tell in -certain cases by the above means, but when you consider your corn crop from a profit or loss basis, you must know if your corn will grow 100 per cent. The only way to tell this is to test every ear. During the last several 'Years we have tried nearly every form of tester. Many of them proved imprac- tical. We were compelled to find a tester that would have a large cap- acity, light weight, and which would be inexpensive to make. We desired large capacity; because. with a large acreage we do not care to have too many testers to contend with. Seed 'which was tested in Illarch gave. a vet Nearly everyone ha* r uutrIca licnasqlle55d livpr doOs , con rordorod fit{1111. it Cheer ap I hsra,s tho reps relief -oh nmherlain s Stomach-5nd LitaCrTablets.

The tester which we ultimately qiclopted,sand which we still tiee; may be classed as a'modified.eag-doll. Tine tester can be made- in any size one desirea, depending on the material he has on hend. We use flet cooky boxes which are about I4x22x4 inches. In the bottom of the box is filet' pled - ed about three-fourths Of an inch of Moist sawdust -or, •gut .corn fodder, This keeps the lower'layer from dry- ing out and also acts as a cuehitin. On this layer is placed a piece of moist burlap and a section of •wlre mdsh the exact size ofthe box. Bur- lap cut from old fertilizer or feed sucks works 'very well, and is: inex- pensive to use. The wire serves as a means of keeping the corn grains separate. We use 2x4 -inch mesh lawn fencing and place a set of grains in each end of the rectangle. As soon as one layer is filled, another layer of burlap and wire is applied, and the procees is repeated until the box is filled. After the last layer is finished sev- eral pieces of burlap should be liut over the top of the box so that the corn will not dry out. When the test- er is complete the whole should be well soaked with lukewarm water, after which all the water needed is just enough to keep the cover from drying out too much. Always use moist burlap between the layers, as it holds the corn in place better, and takes the water more evenly than if it is dry'. After six or eight days the test will be ready for examination. If all the grains from an ear should be discard- ed; those that show short roots and stems will not make a desirable stand under field conditions. Some people maintain that a germ- ination test --will net show the true vitality of corn, as it always runs lower for. them u»der field conditions. I think the real fault here would be remedied if they would follow the test a little more closely, and then select only ears that show all strong sprouts and roots. To Treat Oats for Smut. There are three steps in treating oats for smut: 1. Mix one pint of formaldehyde in ten gallons of -Water. 2. Sprinkle the ten gallons of liquid over forty bushels of oate, shoveling the oats so that the solution is evenly distributed. 3. Sack the oats when they are thoroughly mixed and sow the nextaniorning. • Two men in three hours can treat and sack enough oats for forty acres. Formaldehyde can be secured -at any •drug store. Tho total cost for an acre is not more -than five or six cents, Every day lost on strike decreases the supply of the necessities of life. Can't we find a method of settling in- dustrial disputes? How to Get the M ost Out of Your Perennial Garden „Many people have the erroneous idea that when hardy perennials are once established they require no fur- ther attention, but 5 have found that, although they are easy to grow, in order to give the greatest satisfac- tion, each variety must be treated in the way best suited to develop its flowers and growth, I have found that some plants, such as dictamus, lilies, peonies, yuccas, and so on, re- quire several years to get established and come into their full beauty. Usually, the longer these plants are left undisturbed the better results will be obtained. I have discoeered that most of the late summer and autemn blooming varieties should be divided and reset each springeAmong these are asters, boltonias, golden glow, lychnilis, pinks, sweetwilliams, and so teeth, The crown from which the original plant grew dies Own, and many new plants grow up from it, which will give better results if divided and reset. I 4nd that tulips and hyacinths do much better if dug up and reset every three or tout years, but the other fall -planted bulbs wilt; give just; as good results if not rdset until they become ereveded. It is, however, in most instances, a miatake to think that large elumpe will give more sat- 1E:tactic's than a small.thrifty clump. In my years of expelience in grow- ing flowers 1 have fpund to class more attractive than hardy perennials, and none adapted better to all condi- tions. A good gardea soli, well en -- Ached with fertilizers,',is the greatest requisite. The -plants are hest trans- planted in early spring, just as they are beginning to send out shoots after their rest; but I have had excellent seecess with many hi setting them over in the antunin. Iris, lilies, and °thee early -spring flowering bullSe are best eet out in the fall. Never move plants when the ground is wet end soggy, or the Weather unfavorable, I find that if each plant is giveu plonty of nem to develop it will do much better, as most perennials grow and eptead rapidly. Take taro not to put too many flowers which blooln at the Satin time its the same /due; try also to blend the colors po they will harmonize. A careful study of -the varieties to be planted will usually result in a satisfactory arrangement, „During the summer 1 keep the soil stirred constantly areand the plents, so -as to let the air 81ti46 free Circuity tion,' 8 give them & Mulch Of light 1 material, which is of great benefit, and helps to retain the moisture dur- ing the hot, dry days, and also helps to keep down the weeds. I always stake and tie all the taller -growing species securely, and if the supports are given when the plants are still small they will look more•natural and give better results. By removing old flower stems, faded flowees, and seed pods, many varieties such as aquil- egias, gypsophilas, hollyhocks, lark- spurs, sweet rocket, and others, will bloom almost throughout the season. The removal of these will alko im- prove the appearance of the border, and will keep the garden looking neat and tidy at all times. When fiost has killed all the soft growth I always cover my border with leaves or other litter. Do not cover too soon;' for a little frost is bene- ficial to the plants. The protection should not be too heavy, or it will ernothet the plants, or induce them to come into grernature growth ifi the spring. • On the almroach of warm weather I 'remove the coverileg grad- ually in order to harden the growth which the plants have made. Two or three days is usually- suffielent for this. Every' year I grow neon fond of hardy flowers. They get to be like old friends, coining back seave after seazon to greet rne, and stillest) me, too; for, like people, you firrget some- times how fine they really are, and that makes the pleasure of meeting them again all the greater. Perennial*: require, such little care that I often wondet why more people do not raise them. I believe they would cultivate them more if they knew them, aed if they would only try them out and see how much fun these is in having them. _ Theft is Such a wide range of color and form, and a succession Can be easily arranged that will give you blooms from eerly spring until frosts chill all plant life.

The cherishing instinct, both in the indi- Yidual and the family, needs cultiva. and direction. It is . manifested hi 'the love of little girls for their dolls and in the devotion of boys to their pets, le this quality of nurture itot exercised oeproperly directed, It wither; for affections must be ex- erelsed it they ere to develop. We Often 800 spoiled children in Canadian Ianiilios,Nitere. all 'their desires are giatliied without an effort on their owe part 'and they are given no op- portunity to serve. Many a mother virtually makes a slave of herself for her children, humoring every whim, and relieving thein of all .care, trouble and responsibility, only to find when they are grown that they are utterly selfish and inconsiderate. Unfortunate„too, is -the only child ,or the youngest member of the fam- ily, who is overindulged, with no more dependent member of the household to calrforth his tender feelings.1Iere- in lees one great value of the kinder- garten, whey° children are given op- portunities to help those younger than themselves. For the child without companions in the home, the -parents should pro- vide occasions that require service or sacrifice for others.. Arrange to have his friends come frequently to play with your little one, anti share his toys, suggesting that the little guests must have the best. Adaptability is gained through companionship with one's equals. From association with boys, little girls lecern something of stair play, and become acquainted with the sturdier virtues; while, from the boys learn to have a ehivalroue attitude toward womankind. The instinct of nurture is develop- ed through the care of a garden or pets, for a child must exercise thought and put it into practice, in order to obtain results. Then, toe, generosity and respect are stimulated by sharing the ftuits of leis care, a little bouquet for mother, a head of lettuce for a neighbor, an extra kit- ten for a playmate. ' If pets have Young, the child's mother should call attention to the care of the mother for her little ones, and her courage and self-sacrifiee whenever the young are endangered. A child should be taught to take en- tire charge of his pets, to weed arsd care for his garden, .if he is to re- ceive the full benefit in character - development and achieve the self- respect which comes from responsi- bilities accepted. Then, too, good manners which spring from consideration are as es- sential to the happinese of the world as are good moral's; and parents should be examples of both. to their children.

Alexander, M.D. Art women who. work in the house need to get the fresh air habit. If you have not time to go out in the fresh air, open window and door and let the fresh air en to you. What if it is winter and twenty below, we need the fresh air.

It is absolutely certain to get results where there is no organic trouble, What .18 a fresh -air kitchen? What but a HUM where fresh air keeps- blowing through. The men and women who are get- ting ten thousand a year plus are those who can plan things out, and then make the plans so -very clear to the others that_they can carry them but. More than that, they ean really enjoy caerying out the, big plan be- cause it is presented to them in such 80 inspiring way, There are not enetIgh men and women wiring these large salaries just because there are not enough people with this power known as executive ability. Some women have it, and I never knew a farm woman with executive ability to be overworked, for she plan- ned out all the household jobs so that eVeryone from the eight-year-old to Me, Fernier himself,had a share and each one did it as his share of the fun. Nobody was overworked, and they all had a good time pulling to- gether. When the ehildren went to school and took their lunches with them, each child put up his own, but the mother knew thae each was get- ting enough of the right kind of food.

When you have done this, tell me truly: did you do your work only or did you dip in and do some of your husband's work and soine of the children's work and scme of the unnecessary work? Did yau do anything that you could have left undone and yet not hurt your health nor that of any member of the family? The mother's love is such that she enjoys "doing everything she tan" for her ch;ldren. She loves to do it, but she lets her mother -love make her the children's slave rather than their companion. I know by personal ex- perience how the grown-up rernernbers the times when mother was not too 'tired to play. It is not the thousands of hours that she spent in cooking meals that we remember, but the afternoon when she gave a "lea- party"- to the little girls that were quilting a doll's quilt, and sat down to play with them just like Another child.
