The feeding of meat to geese has been proved to be very profitable in its results, as the geese so fed grow more rapidly and are more hardy than those kept on a vegetable diet. If geese are not permitted the use of a pasture but are kept penned up, the animal feed is all the more necessary. Breeding geese should not be per mitted to get too fat and hence should not be penned up if it can be avoided. Geese that are being fattened for mar ket must be treat&d in just the oppo site way, as it is desirable to have their muscles become soft and tender with the presence of fat globules. Care in this matter will mean some dollars in the pocket of the farmer. It is the common practice to select the market birds from the flock that has been roaming over the farm all the fall, no attention being paid to the penning and fattening. As geese that are continually running about work off the fat about as fast as it is put on, it is evident that feed put into an unpenned flock is, to a considerable extent, wasted. The second error in this regard is not separating from the flock those geese that are to be sold. The geese being allowed to run and all fed alike results in a double waste—that of fattening birds that are to be kept for breeders and that of fattening geese while exercising. Let the breeders run, and confine the birds that are to be marketed. Expensive houses are almost never erected for geese, as they are not in their houses as much as are chickens, nor do they suffer so much from neglect in this matter. Compared with chickens the geese require but small houses, and they may be rude in construction. The most that is sought for is protection in stormy weather, during most of the year, and protection iD the coldest winter weather. Buff Turkeys. Buff turkeys are not extensively raised. The color is supposed to be a clear buff color throughout, but this is seldom obtained. There are gener ally some white and dark shadings. Buff Turkey Hens. These turkeys make a quick growth and are attractive when dressed. They weigh from sixteen to twenty five pounds for the males and from eight to fifteen pounds for the fe males. The Eggs We Sell. Sooner or later some system of col lecting and distributing eggs will have to be inaugurated in this coun try as the present system is very un satisfactory. Any system is unsatis factory that gives the merchant a large percentage of bad eggs to sell to his customers. This comes back to the farmer in many ways but prin cipally in the lower price of eggs in the summer time. Men that take their meals in the hotels and restau rants are very careful about ordering eggs in the slimmer time, as they too often have very- unsatisfactory expe riences in so doing. It is safe to say that if the eggs were always fresh a very much larger number would be eaten during the summer months and the prices would be correspondingly good. The well conducted poultry farm is not the establishment that sends poor eggs to market, nor does the farmer that has a poultry house and obliges his hens to lay their eggs in it furnish that kind of eggs. The bad eggs come largely from the mows and the scaffolds of the barns whe-e the hens have hidden away their nests and sometimes lay as many as two dozen before they are discovered. Then the eggs are gathered and sold to the traveling peddler, who cares little about their freshness so long as he can get rid of them in turn to the man that supplies him with his mer chandise. In Denmark they have a system of gathering eggs that pre vents bad eggs from getting into the consignments at all. We can do the same in this country when we have time to get down to a system. To Can Corn. Slice from the cob when In the best condition for eating; pack in mason jars as fully and solidly as possible, screw on the covers, but not to the final twist, as there should be left a chance for the steam to escape in cooking; plunge in a boiler filled with cold water and with straw or a cloth on the bottom, upon which the jars can rest. Heat the water and let boil for three hours. Then remove cans from the water, turn upside down, and when cool enough to han dle comfortably twist the covers as tight as possible. Store in the dark, as light is believed to promote fer mentation. Aberdeen Sandwiches. Chop very fine any cold meats, veal, ham, beef, or poultry; for each teacup ful add an egg-sized bit of butter, pep per and salt to taste, a teacup of sift ed bread crumbs and a very little wa ter to mix to a smooth paste. Roll or work on the board Into strips and then into oblongs; place each between two lettuce leaves and roll separately in waxed paper.—Household. Very thin curtains or those whose day of service is very nearly over will stand the ordeal of washing much bet ter if care be taken to baste them up on sheets of cheesecloth first. This relieves them of much of the strain of wringing and prevents them from being whipped to pieces by tbe wind in drying. LIVE SHOCK Size of Herds of Cattle. Some stockmen are urging farm ers to cut down the size of their herds of cattle and thus send up the price. We believe this is bad advice to give in any trade, though it is the thing that is being worked out in more than one line of business. It is the prin ciple so persistently advocated by the trust—the restricting of supply and the consequent forcing up of the prices for all things. Where will this kind of a policy end? It may be that if the size of all the herds of cattle in the country were cut down one-fifth, as some advocate, it would increase the price of meat, but it would at the same time cut off the poorer people of the country from eating it. The same policy is being advocated as to the growing of wheat and other cereals. But we do not have to fear very much the outcome of such an agitation. There is no powerful combine among the growers of beef and no way to bring about the uniform practice desired. If it should be attempted, the increased price of beef wo«ld lead hundreds of thou sands of farmers that do not now pro duce beef to go into the business, and how would the present beef pro ducers prevent that? It is idle for men to write advocating any such ef fort and it is a waste of space for agricultural newspapers to publish matter of that kind. All such plans are against public policy. Demand Changes. The demand for cattle is now of a different kind than it was a dozen years ago. Then all the markets wanted heavy weights in their beeves. A few American cities began to buy only medium weights and the heavy weights were left for the use of other cities and for exportation. Gradually other buying centers began to fall into line, and now it is becoming difficult to sell the heavy weights even to the foreigners, except by shaving the price. One American city and one English city are said to pay as much for the heavies as they ever did. but this even is not likely to continue. The change from heavy weights to light weights seems to be a general one. Four or five years ago the de sirable weight had dropped to about 1,000 pounds. Now it seems to have further dropped to the neighborhood of 1,400 pounds. An animal that weighs from 1,250 to 1.450 pounds is now the most popular. Farmers should try to produce animals that will be ready for the market at this weight. Fertilizers Without Humus. Where soil does not respond to the labor of the husbandman it has been the general practice to apply commer cial fertilizers, and the marvel has sometimes been great that even these did not seem to bring out the strength of the land to produce crops. Until recent times it has not been realized that the supply of humus in the soil was of very great importance and that the resupplying of the humus Is the first thing to be looked after when the land is to be brought back to its former productivity. A man will Co well to first ascertain if there is a lack of humus in the soil and in case he finds that to be the case he should at once proceed to add humus. This may be done in various ways. In case the area is small it can be filled with humus best by the application of barnyard manure, which always con tains a great deal of vegetable mat ter. We have sometimes said that fiber, which is largely carbohydrate, has no manurial power. That is true, but it is not the manurial quality that counts with humus. The humus holds water and prevents the land drying out and it at the same time holds with it some manurial elements that are let loose on the decay of the fiber. A farmer should use every occasion to get humus into his soil. The burn ing off of the corn stalks and stubble of grain is a proceeding that tends to destroy the supply of humus. These should always be turned under. Bill Nye as a Dairyman. “When I was young and used to roam around over the country, gath ering water melons by the light of the moon, I used to think I could milk anybody’s cow, but I don’t think so now. I do not milk the cow unless the sign is right, and it hasn’t been right for a good many years. The last cow I tried to milk was a common cow, born in obscurity, kind of a self-made cow. I remember her brow was low but she wore her tail high; and she was haughty, oh, so haughty. I made a commonplace remark to her, one that is used in the very best society; one that need not give offence. I said ‘so’—and she ‘Soed.’ Then I told her to ‘Hist’—and she ‘Histed.’ But I thought she overdid it. She put too much expression to it. Just then i heard something crash through the window of the barn and fail with a thug—sickening thug—on the outside. “The neighbors came to see what it was that caused the noise. They found that I had done it in getting through the window. I asked the neighbors if the barn was uill stand ing. They said it was. Then I asked them if the cow was injured much. They said she seemed quite robust. Then I requested them to go in and calm the cow a little, and see if they could get my plug hat off her horns. “I am buying all of my milk now of a milkman. 1 select a gentle milk man, who will not kick, and feel as though I can trust him. Then if he feels as though he can trust me, it’s all right.’’ Useful Trunk Covers. Trunk covers are useful even to the stay-at-home. A simple kind is a large oblong of denim—one seen re cently was a red—the edges buttoned holed all round in white, long and short stitch, and a large initial work ed to come on the top of the trunk. This not only covers the trunk when closed, but is useful to throw over trays or the open trunk when inter rupted in processes cf burrowing or packing.—Detroit Free Press. Explosives in Cabbage. In these days of chemical manures, we often consume a lot of explosive when we eat a cabbage. Ground, the nature of which requires it to be fer tilized with nitrate of potash, yields some of this up to the plant in the course of growth, and so it peaches the interior of the body.

I suffered misery for several years, being troubled witb menorrhagia. My back ached, I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often wake from restful Eleep, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I dreaded the long nights as much as the weary days. I consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me, I tried your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the East who was visiting me. “ I am glad that I followed her advice, for every ache and pain is gone, and not only this, but my general health is much improved. I have a fine appetite and have gained in flesh. My earnest advice to suffering women ia to put away all other medicines and to take Lydia E. Pinkham’s table Compound.”— Miss Nellie Holmes, 540 No. Division St., Buffalo, if. Y. fliss Irene Crosby, prominent in Social Life in East Savanah, Ga., adds her testimonial to the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. Dear Mrs. Piskilam : —“ It always givea me pleasure to find an article of real nine and unquestioned merit. I have found Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Com pound well calculated to relieve and cure the various troubles arising from irregulari ties and menstrual pains. “ Much suffering could be spared if wa only paid more attention to proper living and diet, but as long as women do net do this, your Vegetable Compound has come to the front as a true friend in need. 1 have been very pleased indeed with the relief it has brought me. I find that I have perfect health now, and that my mind is also more clear and active since 1 used yonr Vege table Compound. It has been of great benefit to me, and I gladly recommend It.
