Fattening Geese.

To fatten geese after the Strasburg
fashion, says Paris correspondent, the
bird must neither be too young nor too
old; its growth must be completed. Those
remarkable for their cackling should not
be selected, and none chosen under 10
pounds weight. Some geese can be fatten-
ed in eight, while others require twenty
four days; but fifteen to eighteen days is
the average period. Winter is the most
propitious time for the process, and the
months, December and January. When
in the crib, every cause of excitement
should be removed; the birds must be
kept in complete darkness, in state Of
absolute repOse, and free alike from cold
and heat. The region round Toulouse
where forage is scarce, and consequently
milk butter rare. the geese are fattened
for their fat alone; the flesh, feathers and
liver being only secondary kinds. Cracked
maze, or its meal, is the chief food EN-
ployed. Thirty-fve quarts is the quaint
y during the whole process. Barley mea
Is good; some prefer mixture of pea,
bean, and buckwheat flour.
The stomach of goose has strong d.
gestiye power. When the bird is killed
the fat is melted and placed in earthen
pots, where 1t retains its color and good
taste for two years; the flesh is then salt
ed like pork or beef and sold in the locali-
~.
The Polish plan is to place the goose
IN an earthen pot, having the bottom
knocked out, for fifteen days, giving it as
much meal-paste as it can consume. In
olrasourg the geese receive maize or bar
icy meal, mixed with milk, and a saucer
ol water is within reach Of their box. At
'ne last stage Of fattening the geese lose
appetite, so they have to be fed with a
'unaish; a little powdered charcoal Is
AIDED to the ration, the better to develop

becomes very sluggish nj the close Of the
process and its color, pale-rose or white;

Al aioumen. But when the final stage is
.eaehed and the bird killed, the blood re-
.lFhs to It's normal condition, and the fat
furnishes in all parts Of the body-save
the liver.

The seed OF alsike is exceedingly fine,
not more than half the size OF the red
clover. Four to five quarts of seed is
plenty if the ground is in the right oondi-
ton, and If not it should not be sOwn. OF
the red clover a peck per acre is none too
much to insure a complete seeding. With
the two sown together half this quantity
of each will be sufficient. The thing to
be aimed at with alsike is elose-covering
mat of heritage, with stalks so fine that
they can scarcely hold it's weight. When
it blossoms alsike looks very much like a
field Of white clover, but larger, and with
a pink-red tinge, suggestive of cross of
the white with the red.

Shining Eruit.

Fvarv season brings its complaints OF
bsdIv-shipped fruits, Notwithstanding the
ooution to growers from dealers and the
nress. Many growers, perhaps, do not
road the papers and cannot, therefore, be
Instructed from that source, and many
who are not known to the trade cannot
oven be reached by circulars from deal
ers. From this source, principally, the
hadlv-shipped fruits emanate and will
continue to invade the markets until its
growers are exhausted and disguised
with the business through their constant
losses.
A contemporary the other day said that
the pears shipped to his town by growers
Of a neighboring town had not given
that fruit very enviable reputation be-
cause they we're plucked from the trees
before they were full grown" This COM
nlaint is common with other fruits also.
II seems difficult to convince a great many
growers that no fruit, whether pears,
reaches, apple, figs or melons, are worth
shipping unless they have fully attained
their growth and ready to begin ripening.
The period between this attainment of
growth and the full blush of ripen ess,
whether few days or few weeks, de-
termines the distance the fruit can be
sblpDed to market; and whoever ignores
This fact and attempts to ship further,
will have the loss OF his fruit for his en-
terprise. Neither can anything be
gained by gathering the fruit premature
". The distance may, indeed, be over
come, but to what purpose if the fruit is
found to be insipid and worthless? Buy
ers may be deceived at first, but they
will hardly be deceived a second time,
and the shipper of such fruit soon finds
himself without a market.
We suppose the mistake comes chiefly
from the haste OF fruit growers to get
first into the market with their produce,
overlooking the fact that the advantage of
fancy prices is lost on the poor quality of
the fruit. In this instance it may well be
said that "haste often makes waste.'
Fruit cannot be hurried forward to ma
turity in this manner to any great adj
vantage. To be valuable in market it
must attain full growth on the trees or
vines, and be neatly and securely shipped
no further than the period indicated Will
permit with the transportation at COM
mand. In the home markets there can
be no reasonable excuse for premature
gathering or bad packing. We can al
ways learn, if we inquire, the state Of the
market, ana the fruits can be laid down
there in their most delicious aAd valuable
condition.

Everybody is congratulated on the
mitigation of the late severe and protract-
ed heat of the weather, which seemed to
take the starch out" Of the most ro-
bust and obdurate. Farmers and their
dumb servants can now live, move and
enjoy being while cheerfully doing their
duty. But heat and rain, the country
over, have worked wonders with the corn
crop, for whenever corn was planted and
any attention paid to 1t worth mention
ing, good results have followed. Doubt
less the greatest crops of corn ever real
lied in this country will be harvested in
1885 and the excess of this superb cereal
over an ordinary return will more than

crop. This Is good news, and admonitory
TO breeders Of stock hogs, for what better
use, after feeding healthy human beings,
can corn be put to than fattening pork
ers? Bismarck and Jean Crapeau may
oavil and object, but their hungry people
will buy American pork and bacon-if
they can get it. MIcroscOpists may dilate
by the volume on trichin@ and attendant
horrors, but the common appetite for ba-
con rashers and boiled ham, and, with
the great bulk of laboring humanity, for
"side meat will remain till man ceases
to be oarnivorOus animal. Yet the corn
crop Of the United States is so nearly
perfected that its final naturalization
may he treated as I'm TGut Gccompli with
every careful farmer. We presume TO
use the cautionary adjective, because we
are conscious OF the astounding fact that
not few Southern Ohio farmers lost their
wheat this year, after the crop was cut
and shocked, by leaving it stand in the
fields until it was wet and rOtted by the
rains and hot weather. OF course, it is
impossible to tell what may follow SINH

ing corn, in regard to which, this year, q

A plant which grows abundantly in

Perhaps it contains as much tAnnin as
zerba. When the oak trees are exhausted
and the hemlOcks Of the Eastern States
are no more, dog fennel and zerba, and
other plants, may be the chief depen-
dence Of the tanners for tanning leather.
They may become field crops, like corn
and cotton, and may be extensively and
probably cultivated. Perhaps they
would pay now, II some enterprising and
far-seeing farmers and tanners would
take hold OF the enterprise and consent to
be called visionary by the pOoh-poohs, the
bookless farmers. Ignorance and con-
ceit are ugly stumps in front Of the wheels
Of progress, and between enterprise and

They must concentrate their labor, they
must give 20 few acres the care now
