During; the holldny season, when the unctuous goose graces the largest available platter, Is the time to think of the advisability of growing a bunch of these prolltable birds for the tables that will be spread for hungry fam ilies another year. The goose pop ulation In the United States has been on the decline In recent years, but the United States Department or Ag riculture expresses the opinion that there arc mnny farms on which n few enn he raised on pasture and other feed that will scarcely be missed. Al though tile demand for feathers Is not what It once was, and the eggs are not In demand for cooking, these birds arc worth while ns producers of de licious meat, .The objection has been raised that the meat Is too oily, but this condition Is largely due to Im proper cooking, to failure to remove the 3iirplus fat of the abdominal cav ity, and to not skimming off the grease while cooking. Gr?ss Furnishes Bulk of Feed. Where there Is low, rough pasture land with a natural supply of wnter, geese can be raised at a profit. They are generally quite free from disease und all Insect pests, but they arc oc casionally affected by the diseases common to poultry. Grass makes up the bulk of the feed and it is doubt ful whether It pays to raise them if good grass range Is not available. A body of water where they can swim is considered essential during the breeding season and Is n good thing during the rest of the year. The market Is not so general as for chickens, but the demand and the price are unusually good In localities where goose fattening Is conducted on a huge scale. However, n few geese are desirable on many farms whetc there Is no such market. Ex cept In winter and during stormy weather, mature geese have little need, for n house. Urceders In the North, and some In the South, use n shed open to the south ns a protection In winter. Coops, barrels or other shel ter are needed by goslings. The houses may he kept clean by supply ing plenty of straw for bedding. From 4 to 125 geese may be pastured on an acre of land, the number depend ing upon the quality of -the pasture. Ten geese to the acre Is a fair aver age. Free range should be used wheroyer possible. In'the South mnny people use geese to help In keeping down the weeds In the cotton fields. Along nbout the first of February gecso should get a ration suitable for egg production so thnt goslings mny he hatched at nbout the time the first pnsture Is available. Nests lnay he made on the floor of the house, or In largo boxes, barrels or other shel ters. It Is desirable to collect the eggs dnlly and to keep them In a cool place where the contents will not evaporate too rapidly; If kept for somo time they mny be stored In loose bran. The first eggs are usually set un der hens, while the last ones the goose lays may he hatched either un der hens or under the goose If she goes broody. If the eggs arc not re moved from the nest where she Is laying she will usually stop laying sooner than If they nro tuken nwny dully. The sitters may be broken up If they are confined to n slat-bottom coop, with water to drink hut no feed, for two to four days., Some breeders prefer to raise all the goslings with hens, as geese sometimes become difficult to manage when nl lowod to hntch and rear their young. Hens used for hntchlng goose eggs must be dusted with Insect powder and have good attention ns the period of Incubation for goose eggs Is longer than for chicken eggs. Goose eggs may he hatched in Incubators and the gosling raised In brooders, but this Is not a common practice. From 28 to 30 days are required to hntch gtiosc eggs. Moisture should be itddotl after the first week If the eggs ure set under hens or In Incubators, warm water being sprinkled on the eggs or the nest. Incubators should bo run at temperature of 101.5 to 102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 1 degrees lower than for hens' eggs, and the eggs should be cooled longer. Four to six eggs are put under a hen nnd 10 to 13 under n goose. They may be tested about, .the tenth day, ami those (lint are Infertile or con tain dead germs should bo removed. Goosu eggs hatch slowly, especially under hens, nnd the goslings are re moved as soon ns hatched and kept In a warm place until the hatching Is over, when they are put back under the, hen or goose. After (ho eggs are all hatched some breeders give nil the goslings to the gecse. Hens with goslings r,ny bo kept In coops nnd their chn4ges al lowed to rnngo, but they arc not al Pasture During Greater Part of Year. lowed to go Into the water until sev eral days old. In mild weather they will bo able to look after themselves when seven to ten days old. Coops with board floors are desirable for goslings and they should be protected from their enemies nnd looked after in case they get lost In their wander ings about the furm. Feeding the Young Birds. Goslings do not feed until they are 21 to 30 hours old, when they mny bo fed any of the mashes recommended for chickens or for ducklings, or n mash or dough of two-thirds shorts or middlings and oncthlrd corn menl, which after six weeks may be made equal parts shorts and corn meal and 5 per cent beef scrap. Bread and milk Is nlso an excellent feed for goslings. Fine grit Is needed nnd may bo pro vided by using 5 per cent of sharp sand In the mash, or by keeping It before them In u hopper. If goslings are to be fattened give them a ration of one-third shorts nnd two-thirds corn menl by weight, with 5 per cent of beef scrap added, and a feed of corn nt night. In February, when the feeding for eggs Is begun, a ration made up of one. pound of corn menl, one of bran, one of middlings or low-grade Hour, and 10 per cent of beef scrap, which Is fed In the morning, nnd equal parts of corn and wheat, or corn alone, fed at night, will produce good results. Grit nnd oyster shell mny be pro vided at all times, but they are es sential during the laying period. In winter nnd nt other times when there is no good pnsture available, geese may he given roughages such ns cut clover, hay, alfalfa, silage, cabbage, mangels, or any waste vegetables. PEAS REQUIRE MUCH SPACE Smooth Varieties May Be Sown Early or as Soon as Ground Is In Shape to Work. Peas are not adapted to growing in very small gardens, us they require much space. Most gardeners, how ever, Insist upon having a few short rows of pens In their gardens. In large gardens enough peas should bo planted to provide surplus for can ning. The smooth varieties may be sown very early or Justus soon ns the ground Is In shape to work In the spring. The wrinkled vnrletles should not be sown until the iground has wormed slightly. Some of the dwarf vnrletles can be grown without sup ports, hut the lnrger growing sorts re quire brush, a wire trellis or some form of support. The old-fushloned English sugar pea on good soil will grow to n height of 5 or 0 feet und produce pens until midsummer. It should be borne In mind that under ordinary conditions peas do not with stand great heat, and that -they must produce their crop before mtdsummer.

The use of coal ashes Is permissible on heavy clay soils. However, they should he screened nnd nil coarse cin ders removed before being applied, and then should be sprend evenly over the surface and thoroughly mixed with the soil as deep as It Is plowed or spaded. Coal ashes have little value as ferti lizer, their use being mainly to loosen the soil nnd make It more workable. Wood ashes, especially those produced by burning hardwoods like hickory, mnplo, or onk, frequently contnin as high as 7 per cent potash, and are val uable fertilizers. Those produced from burning soft woods, such ns pine, and nlso hardwood ashes that have been exposed to the weather, have compara tively little value as fertilizer. About 50 pounds of dry, unbleached hard wood ashes may bo applied to a plot of ground 80 by CO feet In size, hut should be well mixed with the soil.

If You Need a Medicine You Should Have the Best Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that aft ex tensively advertised, all at onco drop out of eight and aro soon forgotten? The reason is plain the. article did not fulfill the promises of tho manufacturer. This applies moro particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like in endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of it. A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, n preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it bIiows excellent re sults, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale." According to sworn statements arid verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot is duo to the fact, so many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the urio acid which causes rheumatism.
