GEESE RAISING.

Many persons, after having decided to
try their hand at geese raising, purchase
a few mongrels of light weight, at mar
ket prices, Instead of sending to relia-
ble breeder and getting first class stock
at prlce that would seem eXhorbitant to
them. An exchange says this is mis-
take, and one that must inevitably follow
through the whole course The five or
more pounds that the well ll-bred goose out
weighs the common goose will show itself
enormous difference in the receipt.
The main thought to be kept in mind
is the worthlessness of the articles of food
in which geese delight and which COM
prises, for great part, things wasted and
at the most of little value. Cabbage,
turnips, potatoes, and all other kinds of
vegetables and grasses form their staple
food, with only sufficient grain to give II
variety. They are distinctly grazing
poultry, and will keep the grass
as close rs flock of sheep. The
value of their manure upon worn out
pasture must also not be lost sight of, as
it is rich in amount, and, for this reason
geese would seem to rival sheep for ben

MILK FROM THIN COWS.

When a COW is thin, and especially if
she be losing flesh, her milk cannot be
rich in fat, and what there is will! make
poor butter, and come slowly. This is
the trouble that many farmers find at the
beginning of winter. Cream that could
be made into butter in fifteen or twenty
minutes has now to be churned an hanr

Hints for Amateur sportsmen.

An excellent treatment for q bullet
wound is to wash the wound clean and
cover with clean muslin saturated with
solution of carbolic acid or alcohol
The great object is to keep the wound
clean and protected from the air, Do
not foolishly probe for the bullet. It
can be better, extracted after the heal
ing of the wound.
TO extract fish hooks from your flesh
or clothing cut the leader free and
push the hook on through, depressing
the upper end so as to bring the point
SUut-as near as possible'to where it went
in. Don't try to pull the hook back
over the barb.
Thirst can be abated by the eating
of acid fruits or plants. The chewing
of twigs, barks or leaves of trees and
shrubs will also afford temporary re-
lief. Snow and ice aggravate tho
thirst by chilling and closing the sa-
lvary glands.
Learn to shoot without closing your
eyes when you pull the trigger. Be-
ginuers will find it hard to do this, but
it must be done.
In sighting either shotgun or rifle
the left eye should be closed, except in
the case of left-handed persons; then
the right eye should be closed. Some
men keep both eyes open, but the ma
jority of shooters and all the crack
shots close the left eye.

These plants are, in fact, as we'll thard-

In their season. The only labor subse-
quently expended upon the bed is to
keep down the weeds and to thin the
plants to one in three inches in the row,
and no further attention is necessary,
except to provide water in case of

Cling leaves in the outside rows, but as
whole the waste stalks are less numer-
Gus than under the old system. Perhaps
the stalks are not quite so white as when

Champagne biscuits are delicious lit
tie cakes which find particular favor on
Mrs. Grover Cleyeland's table. They
are served as accomplishments TO cham
payne, and according TO the French
should never be eaten with any course
but desert. When Mrs. Cleveland was
abroad she fancied these delicate cakes
and had the recipe sent TO her. They
will form part of her Christmas menu.
The ingredients are eight ounces OF
flour, eight ounces of powdered sugar,
eight eggs, a quarter ounce of caraway
seeds and a pinch of salt. Work the
butter in basin with a wooden spoon
until it presents the appearance OF a
thick cream, then gradually add the
sugar, flour, yelks of eggs, caraway
seeds and salt After this mix the
eight whites of eggs previously whipped
firm for the purpose. Have a sheet OF
white cartridge paper folded in reverse
plaitS so as 10 present, when opened,
the appearance OF a fan with angular
trenches an inch deep. Fill a biscuit
forcer with some of the batter and
force into the paper trenches finger
like biscuits about three inches long.
Shake some Sifted sugar over them and
bake light brown color in moderate
oven.
The menu cards which will be used
on Mrs. ex-Secretary William c. Whit
ney'S Christmas dinner table are both
pretty and novel. They are series OF
French cards representing huutsmen,
dairy maids, cooks, clowns and other
quaint figures. These odd menus have
been the rage in Paris for the past few
months, many having been beautifully
painted by renowned artists and carried
home by the guests. Mrs. Whitney,
however, will probably be the first to
introduce them h@re. Her menu, as
translated, is:
