Hl:V &sKr WMm fowl that can be raised bo easily or cheaply as geese, and her story of how she does it is interesting and helpful. To have success in breeding Miss Storer says, it is important to breed from only largo matured speci mens. The goose should be at least two or three years old and can bo kept until she is twenty, but tho gander should bo changed every three or lour years. Miss Storer has been able to hatch 100 per cent of geese in an incubator, but if the incubator is not used she prefers putting the eggs under hens, four or live to each hen. Whether in the incubator or under hens the eggs should bo sprinkled with warm water two or three times a week. During the last week in the incubator she takes some warm water and dips the whole egg into it for a second and then puts it back on the tray. Much care is given the goslings during the first months of their lives. They are kept warm and fed often, a little at a time, with bread crumbs soaked in milk. The most important part of a young goslings living is plenty oi: green food and plenty of water to drink. But the gosling must be kept out of the water until the feathers aro grown sufficiently to keep his back from getting wet, for it means death to him if he does. Meal stirred in boiling water and cooled is good food for the goslings when three weeks old. By the time they are two and a half months old they will get their own living, if they are allowed freedom in a good pasture where there is plenty of grass, or they can be kept in a yard if green stuff is given them from tho garden, such as lettuce or turnips cut up. They only require enough water to drink. No other fowl can thrive 1 a pasture with little water to drink as the gooso will, and besides they are subject to no parasite pests, either lice or mites, or diseases common to other classes of poultry stock. It is interesting to know what profits can be made from such a flock when the time comes to fatten them for market. Geese aro fattened on corn meal, and two bushels of this will fatten ten costings. It will cost from fifty to seventy-five cents to raise a goose ready for market. If of tho Toulouse variety it will dress from ten to fourteen pounds, and bring from ? 2. 50 to $3. A pound of goose feathers is worth $1, and a pound can be taken from every three geese. Of the several kinds of geese, Miss Storer prefers the Toulouse, for they lay more eggs than any other kind, commence to lay in February, and do not become broody until May. In this time they will lay 25 or 30 eggs, and can often be broken up so they will lay again. Even if the last eggs are not laid until the first of July it will give them time to be hatched and the geese sold at a good price during Christmas time. if tho farmer had taken a few pre cautions ho might havo avoided some of his most serloua louse. A few suggestions then of some of the com mon errors should bo In order. Corn, chop and ground barley should only bo fed in very small quantities to a horse. If a horso Is accustomed to hard work he should not be given a day's complete rest. Stop to pull a nail from a board rather than turn it over. Remember that a colt between tho ages of two and a half and three years gets twelve teeth. See that the old oneR are properly shed. Have a veteri narian examine your horse's mouth onco a year.

M., .tn Trl City PRACTICAL SIDK OF STOltlXti SKKI) COKX AVOIDING DISEASE There is always a clamor for some panacea for the relief of the multi tude of ailments, says H. E. Kingman, of the Colorado agricultural college. It makes Tittle difference whether the patient is human or animal. Tell a farmer how to improve the condition of a sick animal and he will be very grateful to you and remember you, but to try to teach him how to pre vent sickness in a hundred head of livestock and he will scoff at you and promptly forget your instructions. In human medicine the idea of making every man his own physician has long since been dropped, but since veter inary knowledge and education Jay behind: there still exists a demand for the instruction of the farmer along the lines of veterinary med -cine.- Through the practice of veteri nary medicine it has beer, found that Taking it for granted that the corn grower has made a careful relcction of seed corn for next year's crop, I there is still danger that much of hn good work will be undone by his fail-1 ure to provide storage conditions that will not affect the vitality and germi-j nating qualities of the seed. Kepti under unfavorable conditions seed j com that comes up to the best stand-) ards of selection often fails to pro-t duce a good stand of cor , while poor I or mediocre cars, if kept in favorable storage conditions, will give a good pcrcentago of germination, though I fVir nlnnlrj 1 tt nrtl u'lll irf i m i t 1 tho standard. Storage has only to do with main taining the germinative quality of the seed, and does not increase or de crease the inheritance quality ol the kernels, or their power to produce ears and plants of the desired type. The finest of storage conditions can not be made to bring forth ideal plants from undesirable ears, but the storage conditions for the winter arc essential ones to be looked after. After the ears selected have matured on the stalk they aro husked and al lowed to cure in the field for a few days that is, until a large part of their excess moisture has evaporated. After the evaporation has continued as far as it will under field conditions the corn may be stored for the winter. Perhaps during the early fall the seed may be left in the corn crib, but at the approach of freezing weather they should be taken to some warmer place where they will not freeze. Freezing of tho water in the kernel causes expansion and cracking, and if the crack is made in the fall the chances for a good stand when the corn is nlanted are diminished. Cracks open the way to spores of mold to get into tho kernel. As long as the hull is on the kernel there is no dancer of mold, but when the mold gains entrance through a crack made by fall freezing it will have all tho warm days of winter to work, and will probably destroy the germs of a great many kernels, It can readily be seen why the eed ear should never be allowed -to freeze. While seed corn should be kept dry, it should not be kiln-dried; that is, dried by artificial heat. When placed under the warmest of natural condi tions it will get just so dry and no more. There- is always a little mois ture which will not come 'out. This is called residual moisture, and if it is driven out by artificial heat the chances tor perfect germination are greatly decreased. A convenient way to, store seed corn is by moans of a two by four about four feet long, through which twenty-penny spikes have been driven at such distances apart so hot the butt of an ear may be stuck nn Oiinh Rllike. iHnir of a drying room one is Rheumatism A Homo Cure Given by One Who Had It. in tlm mirlnr of IW3 I ww BtlarUrd hy JIiiKnilnr nml liillniuiuaUiry IthrunutUm.
