LIVE STOCK THAT PAYS.
SOMETHING ABOUT TAKING CARE OF
AVERY SILLY FOWL.

GosIings Have Not Sense Enough to Go
in When It Rains-They Must Be Driven
Under shelter at the Approach of a
storm -Overfecding.
AS compared with other varieties Of
useful poultry there are but few geese
raised; and yet those who have proper
surroundings can raise them proftably.
The farmer who possesses a field that is
rocky or hilly, through which flows a
brook, or that has in it pond Of water,
can raise them with profit for flesh and
/ feathers alone, as what is termed 'live
geese feathers" are always in demand at
fair price, and the young fattened in
the fall generally demand good figures.
To have them produce good supply of
feathers of the finest quality they must
have free access to water
To the fancier of thoroughbreds who
has place like the above geese are more
than doubly profitable, as there is always
a demand for good specimens for breed
ing and show purposes, particularly of
the Embden and Toulouse varieties. In
raising geese we claim there is as much
right and wrong way as in raising
any other variety of poultry If you
woHldraise the largest per cent. possible
of the young that are Matched, and de-
sire that they should become as large
and fine as possible, itisa much a neces-
sity that the goslings never are allowed
to have access to a pond, brook, puddle
or even pan of water to sit in as it is
for the older ones to have free access to
water
Give them cups to drink from and see
that they are supplied with all they want
at all times, but do not allow them to
swim until the breast is well feathered;
and until they are well covered with
feathers see that they are under shelter
as well as the chicks during heavy show
ers. Remember they are silly as geese, 7
and unless you see to it that they are
housed the chances are they will stand
in some corner with heads up squealing
and crying and soaked to the hide. Be
careful not to overfeed the young. or
they will be troubled with indigestion,
weak legs, etc. Give them pasture
with plenty of grass and feed sparingly
of fattening grains. After they are
feathered turn them out with the old
ones and feed grain only once daily, and
my word for it, you will raise large
per cent. of those Matched, and they will
develop into large. fine specimens. -

DO Bees Work Only Gather Honey?
A. J. Root, authority on all bee matters,
gives this answer to the question 50 often
asked. do bees make honey. or do they
only gather it:" In other words, 40
they add to, take from or change over
nectar as they get it from the flowers:
think we may safely say that there is
practically no difference or 10 change
There are some scientists and professors
who insist that the bees do change the
nectar in carrying it from the flowers to
the hives enough so that it can be de-
tected by the chemist In order to get
unfinished sections filed up at the end
of the season we have fed to the bees
different kinds of honey; but after being
sealed up in the comb it was exactly the
same honey to all appearances.
BY accident we scorched one lot lit
tie, and hoped that the bees in their
manipulation might remove the slightly
burnt taste They did not, however,
change it particle. Again. we once
had lot of honey that candied SO read
lily that we could scarcely keep it in
liquid form at all We melted it. added
some water, and fed it to the bees They
evaporated the water added. placed
it in their combs and sealed it up, but it
candied after being sealed up in the
combs just as it did before we fed it to
them, and / have never been able to de-
tect that they improved poor honey in
any way. neither have been able to de-
tect that any injury was done, or, in
fact. that any change perCeptible to any
of our senses was wrought by any Of
their manipUlations.

The pure buff Cochins are orange buff or
orange red in color. Their full feathers
make them look larger than they really
are. One Of the best qualities Of the buff
Cochin is that the hens are such careful
mothers. Many other breeds are pre-
ferred to them, however, although they
add attractive variety to collection Of

LOVES DAWN.

In wandering through waste places OF the world
met my love and knew not she was mine;
But soon a light more tender more divine
Filled earth and heaven; richer cloud curtains
furled
The west at eve; softer flush impearled
The gates of dawn; note more pure and fine
Rang in the thrlish's song: a rarer shine
Vanished the leaves by Mays sweet sun un-
curled.
To me, who loved but knew not, all the air
Trembled to shocks Of far off melodies,
AS all the summers rustling thrills the trees
When springs suns strike their boughs, asleep
and bare.
And then one blessed day saw arise
Loves morning glorious in her candid eyes

The North British Agriculturist SAYS:
a good many of the visitors to the Kill
marnock show last week took occasion
to inspect the working Of the new milk
ing machine invented Nv Mr. Murch-
land, which has been for some weeks in
daily use Oh the farm ~ Haining Mains,

machine has been working efficiently

from eight to ten minutes, and AZ one
dairymaid could attend to the milking
Of half a dozen cows by the machine it
seems clear that dairy farmers will
shortly have the means of overcoming
the milking difficulty
Briefly described the machine is sim
ply an evolution Of the idea embodied in
the bell-and-suction tube found in every
druggists shop for drawing the milk
from woman's breast. An iron suction
tube is fitted all round the byre, above
the cows, and from this an india rubber
tube descends to the vessel into which
the milk il To he drawn a belt il hung
over the cows back, and from this belt
the close vessel into which the milk il To
be drawn is suspended.
-Four separate India rubber tubes,
about foot and a half long, terminate
in this vessel and at the other end they
have tin neclzs which 20 on to the sepa-
rate teats Of the COW. They do not grasp
the teats, but fix themselves by the force
Of the suction to the udder at the root
of the teats. The suction force ii sup

vessel is Of glass, SO that the milzmaid
can see at a glance that the four differ
ent streams Of milk from the different
teats are coming all right, and this glass
cover il also held un by the suction.
As soon as the suction force is switched
off the glass lid can be lifted off and the
tubes withdrawn from the teats.
Itmay be objected that some difficulty
would be experienced in keeping these
India rubber tubes clean, particularly
during the warm weather, but there is
no reason why they should not be made
of tin, in which case they could be eff
fectively cleansed by rinsing with boil
ing water. The tin necks of these tubes
were sharp At the point where they
grasped the udder, and some of the ex-
perts were inclined to think that the
bell shape would be better, but these
are details which the inventor Will soon
make right. The cows at Haining Mains
seemed to ike the mechanical milker
very well. ait least they chewed the cud
very complacently while the milk was
being drawn from them by the suction
tube. The initial cost Of the apparatus
should not he great. and altogether the
simplicity Of the machine IS one Of the
strongest points that can he urged in its
favor

There are various ways in which they

Speaking Of the cattle business, Mr..
Charles Gould said some time since;
1.-The stock market is low. The drought
is forcing thousands Of Kansas and Mis-
soun cattle on the market. In fact, it ID
forcing them from all of the western
states. | do not think that Montana
cattle are in as good condition as they
were last year at this time. The feed il
fair, but the water IS extremely scarce,
and the condition of the range cattle is
serious unless it rains sufficiently to fill
up all of the water courses. The high
est price obtained for Montana beef
this year was got by Converse &
Arnett, of Dickinson, who sold for fouI
cents. There has been as high as 1900
head Of steers in the storage market in
one day This is something awful, and
accounts for much of the fiuctuation In
prices. The reason for the low prices is
that the cattle received are many d
them entirely unfit for market. and tbs
buyers want fat grass beef"
Mr.. Gould says that the shipments
from Montana will reach fully 100000
head this year. - Montana Live Stocl

Points of Interest.

The mutton merino is now the sheep
for breeders to go in for.
The man who possesses the most sheep
of any single owner in America is Hag-
gin, the California horse breeder. He
has 100000 sheep and this year sold $40,-
600 worth Of spring lambs.

and would probably recognize in this
new departure IN spelling the name of
Alexander the Greats famous steed Bu-
cephalus. What are we coming to?
Cattle for western ranges want good,
broad, strong feet. In locking for cattle
to be driven or shipped, therefore, do not
purchase those with small, narrow, light
colored hoofs
The native cattle Of Honduras are be-
ginning to- attract attention from the
fact that, except as to their horns, they
present every point that the American
Jersey cattle club require for registry in
their herd book. The Honduras cows
have never received any care or special
feeding, yet their milk is rich. The
American Dairyman suggests that a
great milk, butter and cheese trade might
be built up cheaply by some one who
would cross the Honduras cows with the
pure Jersey. Central America presents
no end of room for herds to grow up with
the country. Ranching there would
have the double advantage of cheap
labor and mild winters.

William Weaver, Of North Dakota, has
undertaken tue work of crossing the
buffalo with the domestic COW. He has
selected for this purpose the polled Angus
cattle. The cross produces a long haired,
shiny hide, which brings high price in
the market, while the restaurants pay
more for the hybrid meat than for the
wild buffalo flesh.
