exceedingly brilliant article entitled
"Imperial Responsibilities a National

At what time in the world's history
the goose became a domestic animal
literature fails to inform us; but, that
to the waymarks of sculpture, art and
science, which indicates the progres
sive march of humanity through, the
centuries past, shows us that, in com
mon with the barnyard fowl, the goose
has been a servant of man from the
earliest times. If we inquire as to the
origin of our breeds of geese, we find
that there are one or two writers that
say the wild prototype of the domestic
goose does not now exist, and cite the
camel as an analogous case. They
give as a reason therefor the fact that
the domestic goose is the only bird of
its tribe systematically polygamous
all the known wild varieties mating in
pairs for breeding, and this applies
even to the wild Canada goose now in
domestication. The large majority of
authorities, however, is united in the
belief that the common domestic goose
is descended from the indigenous wild
goose of the British Islands known as
the graylag goose. While many of the
goose family, which includes some for
ty species, live largely upon insect, ani
mal and vegetable life, found in or
close by the bodies of water which
they frequent, the domestic goose is
eminently a grazing animal. In early
life its most rapid growth is made up
on a pasture of short nutritious
grasses, supplemented with a little
grain. Good pasturage, with water for
drinking only, will produce well-grown
geese as easily as sheep or cattle.
Geese are grazing animals to a great
er extent than any other class of poul
try. In fact, they live and thrive on
good pasturage and water, although, of
course, they do not make the rapid
growth that may be secured when
some grain is fed. On the other hand,
however, it is not possible, probably,
to raise goslings on an exclusive grain
diet without a liberal supply of clover,
cabbage, roots, apples or some succu
lent vegetable food. Young goslings
make the most rapid growth upon
short nutritious grass aud cracked
corn or wheat. In a wild state geese
devour large quantities of roots of
grasses and aquatic plants, which they
dig from the banks and borders of
streams and wash free from the earth
in the shallow water. Domestic geese
confine themselves less to water and
aquatic plants and generally feed up
on pastures, preferring moist, rich lo
calities where the grass is kept short
and sweet by constant feeding and
rapid growth. Tall woody grasses,
that have become tough are not relish
ed by them. The natural habit of geese
makes considerable space necessary for
their successful keeping, or requires
that they be provided with succulent
green props, such as rape, cabbage,
sorghum, corn, pats, etc. C. O. Flogg.
Hanaorous Geese.
Of barnyard fowls the geese are the
most intelligent. It is related of a
pair of geese that they used to round
up the chickens which strayed in from
the neignbprs and play pranks with
them for the fun of It, says New York
Sun. One day a dozen of' a "neighr
bor's hen flock came visiting and the
geese entertained them. The chickens
were corralled in a fence corner, and
the geese flapped their wings and hiss
ed, showing great joy when the chick
ens exhibited fear, Just then the
farmer came out and began to feed
his flock. Between hen-baiting and
eating, these geese did not know what
to do. They wanted to eat, and would
begin to eat. Then the chickens would
start away. That made the geese so
uneasy that they could not eat. After
a bit the chickens started along' the
fence toward a little stream of water
with eighteen-inch high banks. On see
ing this the geese stopped eating and
vent to the stream aud swam down
it toward the spot for which the Ijens
were headed, and ducked their beads
so that the chickens couldn't see them.
Arriving at the crossing place, the
geese jumped into the air with flapping
wings and tried to catch one of the
chickens, but they were too slow, and
the chickens went over the fence like
scared crows. If the geese had
caught the chicken the feathers would
have flown, for the geese delighted in
plucking the feathers out of a captive.
School for Dairying.
In the publicantion of the Agricul
tural College at Columbus is the fol
lowing on the details of dairy study:
Ijt may interest some to know how
the student spends his time while
taking the course in dairying. ' The
work begins at eight o'clock In the
morning and closes at four o'clock in
the afternoon. During the four morn
ing hours the students are at work
in the laboratory doing practical
work, Some are running separators,
some are churning butter, some are
working butter, some are testing milk,
some are bottling milk, some are pas
teurizing milk, others are making
cheese, while others aro managing the
boiler, the engines and the condenser,
while all have experience in getting
and keeping things clean an extreme
ly important lesson. Of course the stu
dents are changed about from day to
day so that each becomes familiar with
all operations. Forty or fifty earnest
and energetic students dressed in their
white duck suits make an attractive
and inspiring sight Indeed it is such
an attraction that the problem of vis
itors has become a serious one. In the
afternoons one to three o'clock the
students listen to lectures or come pre
pared to recite tne lessons that have
been assigned them in their' text
books. There are lectures and recita
tions on butter and cheese making,
testing and pasteurizing of milk, on
the chemistry of milk, butter and
cheese; on the care of steam engine
and boiler, on the diseases of cattle, on
the breeds of dairy cattlp and gn the
principles of feeding and breeding of
cattle. On Friday forenoons instead
of having work in the dairy laboratory
the students judge cattle or spend their
time in calculating feeding rations.
Feed Grladers Talaable.
With the zero weather all the soak
ed corn is in poor shape for feeding,
so the best remedy is the feed grinder,
which all admit s a benefit though
some have a poor opinion of them, if
we judge by the idle, rusty feed grind
ers we know of, writes a contributor
to Wallace's Farmer.
It increases the feeding value of
grain fully 25 per cent In most cases
to grind it. Sours nursing their young
need ground feed made into slop,
which is the only ground feed used at
the hog house. Young calves like whole
grain best, but as soon as they pass
any whole grain it is better to grind
it The milk cow needs ground feed,
for if she is physicked more than half
the time on whole corn, her bowels
are bot and feverish and anything but
a good quality of milk will be obtain
ed from her. The fattening cattle need
ground feed; then they get all the
good of it, and the waste in the excre
ments is so small that it will not pay
to let the hogs waste the manure to
get it If one has cattle and hogs to
fatten it is better to keep them sep
arate and treat each lot as though you
did not have the other. Take a young
steer; his mouth is not full, yet feed
him whole (and sometimes frozen)
corn, he is physicked three-fourths of
the time; his bowels are hot and fever
ish. Most impurities of the blood and
waste of the system are thrown off
with the excrement; then run the pigs
out there to live, grow and fatten on
that kind of hash, rooting up the bed
ding, mussing the yard up generally,
making it twice as bad as it otherwise
would be, and then in time these same
hogs, if alive, go to make first-class ba
con, hams, etc Bah! Such a way of
producing viands for enlightened hu
manity to live on! No, I don't care
for any pork today. The hog was
probably intended for the scavenger
of all creation, but let's keep him in
such a way that pork and sausage
won't balance accounts with our stom
achs before we eat it
Ground feed is just the thing for the
horses, and they like it whether old or
young. When brought In from work
and given ground feed they eat it very
slowly and there is little or no danger
of making them sick on it as when
feeding whole grain. In parts of the
world where grain is highest It is prof
itable for them to grind it, and cannot
we be somewhat benefited by follow
ing their example?
Report Trade la American Horses.
Secretary Wilson of the Department
of Agriculture has been quoted as say
ing: "This matter of stock production
Is a great question with the American
farmer, and production for export is a
most important phase of it; more so,
perhaps, than many persona realise at
present. We are daily coming into a
position to be able to supply the world
with not only food, but live animals.
When I first came to Washington I
was much impressed with the neces
sity of an outlet abroad for our surplus
horse production. For some time pre'
vious extremely low prices had pre
vailed for horses in this country and
horse breeders throughout the country
were correspondingly depressed. They
feared that owing to the adoption of
electric cars, etc., the demand for
horses would never be re-established.
But these low prices were not an un
mixed evil. It was they that gave its
firsi Impetus to the foreign demand
for American horses. The increase In
the exportation of American horses
during the past four or five years has
been something wonderful. Why,
some of the Germans are now bemoan
ing the fact that the importation of
American horses into Germany during
the first nine months of 1898 was dou
ble that of the corresponding months
of 1897. With this idea of increasing
our export horse trade, I ordered as
much information as possible to be
gathered as to the character and ex
tent of the demand existing abroad for
horses of all kinds. Without such spe
cific knowledge it was evident that
much unprofitable shipping would be
done, not only causing a loss to ship
pers, but by placing undesirable ani
mals on the European market, at least
undesirable from the foreign ' stand
point, opinions unfavorable to Ameri
can horses would be generated abroad,
and thus retard the development of
this trade. I have" interested' pur rep
resentatives in foreign' countries and
other parties in' positions to report
conditions intelligently, and 'we have
received a great deal of information on
the subject. This information is am?
pie to satisfy any one whq studies it
that a demand exists in Europe, which
should afford great encouragement tg
American horse raisers, but that in or-:
der to meet that demand, they should
closely study the foreign require
ments." Grit for fTualtcy.
In a recent number of Farmers' Re
view I read a communication from "a
tedy correspondent, who said she
cculd' not get her hens to eat
broken prockery. think that
her hens were not brought up
rigljt I would like tp give you my
experience in feeding grit tp hens:
I began feeding grit about ten year
ago. First I broke up bones for them,
and the bens soon learned to coma
when they heard the sound of the
hatchet. I then broke up earthenware
and found they ate it as greedily as
they did the bone. I then tried them
with broken glass, such as comes from
the tops of fruit cans, and found they
ate that I also gave them common
glass and white flint stone. I have
had fifty hens eat two half-gallon
glass cans in one day without any in
jurious effect. If hens do not have,
food suitable for the production of
eggs they will eat but little grit; but
if they are in condition to lay, one
hen will eat a tablespoonful every two
or three days. A good way tp break
glass or flint stone is to heat them
very hot, and then drop them in water
till they will break easily. But with
earthenware it is different, as the Ijens
dp not eat it if it is heated to a point
where it is blackened.
Wasting Capital. Capital Is by no
roea'no an unmixed blessing to' the
would-be poultry raiser. My earnest
belief is, that in the majority of cases
the chief use of capital is to furnish
something to throw away; for one
who is interested is sure to think of
so many hundred seemingly desirable
things, that capital melts away into
thin air at an alarming rate; where
as, if one is so situated that the fowls
must pay their own expenses or make
none, their owner will have learned to
save his money or to invest it judic
iously, by the time he has any surplus
to 'handle for anything besides feed
bills " and necessary shelter. Farm
1'oultry.
Limited Supply of Dairy Cows.
There are less cattle in proportion tp
population in the country today than
at' any time in the" past few years!
When this condition 'is coupled with
the fact that the raising of a profitable
herd of dairy cows is a slow work, it
can be readily seen that there is no
branch of farming which actually holds
better than dairying. Just apply this
consideration to any calculations re
specting the psomising outlook for
either wheat, wool or cattle (beef)
raising, and then keep out of the
throng that is about to rush pellmell
into one or the other of these last
named branches, Ex.
In view of the great importance 01
the' tobacco industry and of the im
portant practical results which it is
believed will result from the proposed
investigations. Secretary Wilson re
quests that congress be asked for a spe
cial apprcpriatiqp for tobacco investi
gations. A spinster says the opportunity fe
mora often a failure than marriage.

Locomotor Ataxia Paralysis
Can be Cured.
These extreme nervous disorders were
tte&ted with wonderful success by the dis
coverer of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale
People, previous to his discovery being otter
ed to tne public generally. This remedy is
the only known specific in m&ny diseases
that, until recent years, were pronounced in
curable, ttere is trie proof;
Janes Crocket, a sturdy old Scotchmaa Irving ta Detroit, Mich, at M
Montcalm St., was cured of Locomotor Ataxia by these pills. For many
years he has been a chief engineer of one of those bis; passenger palace
steamers plying upon the great lakes. This is a position of great respoa
sibility and the anxiety causes a great nervous strain. Mr. Crocket says:
"For fifteen years I watched the big engines and boilers without a single
accident, and only noticed that I was getting nervous. Suddenly without
warning I was taken sick, and was prostrated. I had the best of physi
cians but grew gradually worse. At a council of doctors, they said I had
aervous prostration, and had destroyed my whole nervous system and
would never recover. For three years I was unable to move from my bed.
The doctor said I bad locomotor ataxia, and would never be able to walk
again.
"The pains and suffering I experienced during those years are almost
indescribable. The friends that came to see me bid me good-bye whea
they left me and I was Riven up. The doctors said nothing more could be
done. My wife kept reading to me, articles about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People. Ve finally decided to try them. The first box gave me
relief. I continued to use them for about two years before I could get
strength enough to walk. I am nearly seventy-five years old and there is
not a man in this city that can kick higher or walk further than lean
and to-day I owe my present good health to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for

"Deac Mrs. Piskham: I am a
great believer in your Compound. I was almost despairing of ever again being
well, as I was a great sufferer, and had been for years. I suffered from womb
trouble, and had terrible blind fits. After writing to you I tried your Com
pound. The result was astonishing. I have used it and advocated it ever since.
In childbirth it is a perfect boon. I have often said that I should like to have its
merits thrown on the sky with a search-light, so that all women would read, and
be convinced that there is a remedy for their sufferings."
