In common geese the males and tomales dlerer In plumage , but this Is not UIO case wIth the puro.bred geose. In theIr case the males mid females are alllee. The largest geese nro the ' 1'oulouse , and these are popular wIth men that have a fancy for largo fowls. If 1\ man wnnts In'orR , however , he will choose the ChIna. ' 1'hoso that ralso the geese largely for ( enthers will choose the Emhden , because theIr ( cathers are lJUro white , and hence the marltat value of thom Is greater than wIth those geese whoso feathers are multI-colored. If a man merely : wants 10 produce blrls ( that can be mllrltcled to good advantage he will IInd a cross of the 'foulouso with the Embrlen gl\'o good results. Where geese have access to a ponll or a river they wJ1J derlvo much of t:1elr : suhslslenco from ' ' the water. 'I'ho writer Imow of a man that lived on the \Junlts \ oC a rIver and had a large flocle of goeHe. Across the shallow rh'er was a starch factor ) ' , and from this a Itrge : amount of IJoaled com dallv ran from the sluices Into the rIver. 1'ho geese made their livIng ocr thIs ! corn , which they fished up out of the water. It made a IlorCeet food 80 far as softness and digestibility wel' concerned. 'fhey balanced their ra tlon with the seml.aquatlc plants grow. Ing In the rl\"er and along Its mar ln. There are manr ; 110 \ situations where a flock of geese would save wbat would otherwIse go to WIISto , Shallow ponds In slimmer teem with fish , water beetles , worm : > and other forms of life. A fiocl , of gCl'SO shows great enjoyment In hunting their own , food In sllch places. Geese are also consumers of some of tile bllgs that disturb lhe peace of the farmer. One man told the writer how he used to use them for . the destruction of po. tate bugs. 'I'he geese would travel down the rows , darting their heads now to tills : llde and now to that. They consumed In the course of n day a very largo number of bugs. The fault to be found with them was that they dId not do their worle per. fectly , but left colonIes of bugs here and there , whIch later had to be des. troyed by other agencIes. 'fho geese lays from twenty.fivo to fifty eggs and Ir she could be bred' up to lay more would become more popular on the farm. Perhaps It Is . , posslblo to ultimately develop geese to lay as mnny eggs as hens. but that result Is a long way In the Cuture at the present time. Fr shness of Eggs. There are many old ' \'a 's of test. Ing the Creshness of eggs. Some of them may bo of Ultle yalue. Here Is one that Is going the rounds , but for whIch wo cannot vouch. It may be al1 rIght : Eggs arc placed In a pan at water , givIng each room enough so that Its motions will not be Inter. fored with by the others. The aIr in the egg wJ1J be governed nccordlng to the age or the egg , If the egg haE ! been kept In a moderately warm stato. U the eggs ure just laId they will be motionless. U they re moro thun a week old they wJ1J partly stand on the Ultle end. 'I'hls Is becuuse the aIr chamber Is In the other end of the egg. This aIr chamber grows larger as the egg becomes older anll the molsturo In It evaporates. When the eggs get stili older they will stand up straight In the water and when very old will fioat , 'I'hls test of course would be of no value in the case of plcltled eggs or or eggs l\Opt In cold storage where the temperature was so low that the evaporation of molsturo from the eggs would be very small. Fowls for Market. The farmer should not walt till ho Is ready to marlcot hIs hens and roost. ors beCoro separating them from the rest of the fiock. ' 1'hose that are to bo so dIsposed of should be separated from the rellt : at thIs tlmo. If they are to bo sold for the ThanksgIvIng marlcct they shouM ho placed on fat. tenlng food at thIs time. Chlcleens for market should bo made as fat as posslblo , as the bu'ers want them that way. 'I'ho fat Is not Indeed eaten , but It in some way maIms the lIesh of the fowls tenderer and the buyers reallzo that. Moreo\'er , they are will. Ing to llIlY for the tenderness that comes Crom the fattenIng process. The birds will also bo tender because they have been Ileprlved of exercise. Fowls that exerclso are naturnllr ; tougher than these that do not. Four weeks feedIng will somethnefi add two \Iounds each to fowls anti thIs maltes qulto a dIfference with thcm when they uro marlccted. Don't Market Unfattencd Stock. Wo hnvo seen the traveling bu'er t > f chlcltens drl\'e u ) ) to the farm house and asle Cor poultry. Wo hl\.vo seen the fanner get out a pan of corn and toll the hens and roosters about hIm , then draw them Into tbe honynrd and the worle of selecting besln. The coclcerels were sold with. out an hour of filtlng. 'I'hoy were gaunt and lean shan1ced. They weighed light when Il\1t on the scales or hung on the steelyards. The farm. er got out of them very lIttle for the care ho had bestowed on them. 'I'hesJ birds should not have been sold wltll. out bolng fitted. Shut them up anr1 Slvo them at leust three weeks of goot feedIng. As n general Ulln. . : the grape vIne. ) 'l1rd should bo given clean cultivation every year. The Prairie Dog Nuisance. Pralrlo dogs have been declared to bo a nulsanco b ) ' the laws or Nobrasl ( nnd other slates. 'rite Nebrasl ( law goes so Car as 10 declare thnt any one havIng land Infested by praIrie dogs and not getting rId ot them Is malnlalnlng a nuIsance. The harbor. er of these anlmala Is made lIable Cor damages commItted on otlter land , HIghway commIssioners are Instruct. cd to Bee that the law Is enCorced. In the discharge of hIs duty connected with the extermination of pralrlo dogs the commIssIoner Is allowed $3.00 per day and expenses and Instructed to add the amount to the taxes oC the land where the work ot exterminating pralrio dogs Is done. 'I'hls malws it necessary for the owncr of land to be vigilant In the exi.ermlnnllon of the nuIsance. Tha qulcl < CHt and eheapost way to get rId of the dogs Is to polson tholl1 , and thIs Is gonernllr ; resorted to. In mak Ing up the polson three ounces 01 str'chnlno and hulf a IJound of potas i slull1 c'unlde are IJut Into one quart of boiling wUter. ' 1'0 thIs two quart ! > of molasses and a teaspoonful of 011 of anIse are added. Then a bushel 01 wheat la placed In a tight recelltaclr. and the mixture Is poured over It. It Is then stll'l'ed , while fuur pounds of finely ground corn meal .Is poured Into It , The molaAscs mal\Cs the liquid adhesIve , so It wfll stick to the graIns of wheat. The object ofIsIng the corn meal Is to ahsorb the SUllerlluous liquid or syrup and thus enable till ; ! grains of wheat to cal'l'y a largE : _ ' amount of the polson. ThIs poisoned graIn Is sown about the pluces In. nablted by the dogs. The ) ' cat it and rhe In large numbers. There Is , ho\\'evel' , a decIded senll. ment against the use of the polson. Ranchmeu and farmers hate to handlE : it and birds arc frequently poisoned as well as the dogs. There Is also some danger to live stock and children , Carbon blsulphlde has been usel1 for many ) 'ears In the extermInation (11 burrowIng anlmalr. It Is costl ) . , but It Is effectlvo and Is stili bolng qUitE generally employed. It has the ad vantage of reaching all of th ani , mals ; for there are always some pral rle dogs that will not cat tile poIsoned graIn. 'fhe chemical mentioned Is put lute the blll'l'o\\'s und changes to a gas thut 1\llIs the anlma.s. The Soy Bean In the North. The soy ean Is beIng moro exten. sl\'ely grown In the North now than eyer before. It Is found that It will do well f\\l.ther north than the cow pea , aud , In fact , thnt It can be gt'Owu as far > north as dent corn thrIves The farmers of MaIne who grow largely - ly only fIIut varIeties of corn alsc raIse the soy bean In a small way. II Is bellm"ed that thIs can be made one of the principal crops o ( the North Us value for the feeding of cattle I unquestioned , UII : It Is \"ery rich In nItrogen. In the growIng of this crop succes Is possIble only when the soli contains the bacteria that form the nodules on the roots. In that case the land will only need to have potush and phosphorus added to It , If it needs any fertilizers at all. The Medium Early Is found to be one of the hest varletlos for forago. The land should be thoroughly IJropared before thE crop Is sown and the soli should bl : ltcpt cultiVated. Drilling Is of course necessllr ; If the crop Is to be cultl vated. Under such methods a crop IE regarded as about eIght tons. The forage may he fed green , made Inlo hay or used In the form of silage , The silage Is preCerred by sheep ovel corn silage. It Is not probable , how. e\'er , that It wfll ever talto the place of corn In the makIng or slll1ge , U8 II can be advantageously used as a hay In some places where both cow pear , and soy beans are beIng raIsed the SO ) ' beans are preferred for the reason that they are much easIer to be made Into ba ) ' . In the West , as In the East , the great need of the farm Is to have a cheap source of proteIn. Where a man has hogs that need a proteIn feed In wInter It Is easy to belle\'e that the Rllage made from soy beans would be bettm' than the sllngo made from corn , as It would contaIn moro of the protein so necessary to build 1111 the mnscular system of the swine. 'I'he SO ) ' llean has been less adver. tlsed than the cow pea and is therefore - fore beIng grown less extenslvoly. It seems , however , that It has a wh1er ran go of growth , at least towards the north , than bas tllO cow pea. It will be wIse for our farmers to Lt.y a small plot of soy beans next spring.
