Goose Farming.

As compared with other varieties of use
full poultry, there are but few geese raised
and yet those who have proper surround
ings can raise them profitably. The farmer
who possesses a field that is rocky or billy,
through which flows a brook, or that has in
it a pond of water, can raise them with
profit for flesh and feathers alone, as what
are termed "live goose feathers" are always
in demand at a fair price, and the young
fattened in the fall generally demand good
figures. To have them produce good sup
ply of feathers of the finest quality, they
must have free access to water. To the
fancier of tboroughbreds, who has place
like the above, geese are more than douDly
profitable, as there is always a demand for
good specimens for breeding and sho W pur-
poses, particularly of the Emden and Tou-
louise varieties. In raising geese we claim
there is as much a right and wrong way
as in raising any other variety Of poultry.
If you would raise the largest per cent.
possible of young that are Matched, and de-
sire that they should became as large and
fine as possible, it is as much q necessity
that the goslings never are allowed to have
access to a pond, brook, puddle or even a
pan of water to sit in, as it is for the older
ones to have free access to the 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; aud until they are
well covered with feathers see that they are
under shelter as well as the chicks during
heavy showers. Remember they are as
"silly as geese" and unless you see to ii
that they are housed the chances are they
will stand in some corner with heads up
squeallng and crying and soaked to the
hide. Be careful not to overfeed the
young, or they will be troubled with indi'
gestion, weak legs, etc. Give them past
ure with plenty of grass and feed sparingly
of fattening grains. After they are feath-
cred turn them out with the old ones and
feed grain only oace daily. and my word
for it, you will raise a larger per cent OF
those Matched and they will develop into
large fine specimens.

SEED Is OF course very important, and all
necessary pains must be taken to secure
them.
so
10 secure plants OF good size to be set out
IN Middle Georgia. from Jan. 20 to Feb.
~ tand later seeds fresh and true" must
90 sown In properly prepared beds in Octo-
berthe earlier IN the month the better. If
the seeds are perfectly fresh and the sowing
so carefully made as to insure prompt ger.
mlnatlon, Oct. is sufficiently early, usu-
ally, FOR Middle Georgia sowinCs, but there
Is no objection to milking 1t little earlier,
say Sept 10 or 20 This sowing, can be
made TO advantage in cold frames where
only few plants are needed to be grown.
with the aid of pine straw to mulch the
plants when severe weather occurs, they
can be grown very readily in the open
ground. This method Of transplanting is
very practical and profitable, the work be-
lpg done at season when other garden
work is not pressing. and the work of set
Ting out several acres Is not very tedious
operation after the work gets well started.
Make the seed beds about feet wide and
level it nicely, sow the seeds thickly broad
cast, say IL TO 10 to the square inch, cover
with half inch of soil and then roll the
beds. The plants will appear in few days
II the seeds are good, and the plants will
attain good size before severe cold weather
occurs. 1t will be late In December usually
before there will be need to apply the
mulch. During warm spells in January
and February the mulch should be taken off,
but if the weather should prove con-
tinuously cold the mulch should not be dis
turbed. Where one grows large crop of
onions it will pay to have as many cold
frames as possible, but the onion and LETT
tuce plants can easily be secured by open
air planting and mulching. S. A. Cook.

Japanese Fruits in Georgia.

People who are not making a study of
the subject are not aware of the wonderful
impetus that is being given the horticult-
ure of Georgia by the introduction of these
new fruits There are positively no finer
fruits in the world than Japan plums or
persimmons, and all that is necessary to
convince any one of this fact is 10 sample a
few specimens of Botan. Chabot, Kelsey or
Satsuma plums, or, better still, try eating
a Hell-ripened Japan perslmmon, either
a Venom, Tauel Washi, Kuro kume or Hy-
akume. 1t is very natural to think IF L
was only in California or some other prom
inent fruit country l would invest IL fruit
growing, but it is no use to waste money on
the business here, because cotton is king
For the benefit of those who hold this view
of the subject will quote an extract from
the pen of one Of the most prominent nur-
sery firms in California, who own
extensive nurseries in Japan, and
who are well acquainted with our
soil and climate here IN Georgia
california has dry atmosphere, and the
oriental fruits will never succeed here as
they will in your southern states, which as
to climatic conditions are the very counter
part OF the empires of China and Japan"
Our own experience on the Cherokee nur-
entail fruits, especially plums and kaSls
Japan persimmons), will eventually revo-
lutiouize southern horticulture. The pear
is now all the craze, but the plum only needs
to be known to become the successful COM
petitor with the pear for the first place in
the list of South Georgia fruits, and the
persimmon will be next to them.
We have fruired here among the plums
Botan, kelsey Chabot, Botankio, Hatbanklo
and Satsuma, ur Blood. Plum OF Satsuma,
as il is sometimes called. or the perslm
mons we mention Tame WASH, Yanon, Hya-
kume. Tachiga aud Kuro Kume. These are
all good varieties, and can0o' be eycella
bv the choicest fruits of Calf )rn a. The
facts in the case are that Ire I.sIo Is IS -
good a fruit country as there is In the
| limited States, and il we will plant less
corn and cotton and more fruits we Will be
a good many hundred thousand richer each
| year. Do not put out trees, however, ana
expect them to pay without any at
tention. What would be tnougnl
of farmer who would
nlant out a cotton crop and then expect ii
to produce crop worth anything without
sny further attention. Trees will come
nearer taking care Of themselves than any
! thing else but the man who expects t(
make it pay must cultivate and fertlllze ms
| fruit trees with just as much care as ht
would his corn or cotton, and, in speaking
! of the Japanese fruits, we do not mean ina
we have found something that Will give oes
| results without cultivation, but Snat VIII
the same care and attention that IL requires
| for a crop of cotton, a crop of these ex
cellent fruits can BE- produced that will pay
twice or three times the profits there is II
cotton, and the sooner we act upon this sug
gestion the better for us.

The Forage Plants for the South.
TEXAS BLUE GRASS.


1t will be great day for southern farm
ers when along with the other grasses and
clovers that we have named this splendid
grass, so we'll adapted to winter and spring
PASTURE, has its appropriate place on the
farm. AS remarked before, stock and
airy farming conducted on the most sue
essful basis will not be dependant on one
II two grasses, however good they may be,
Jut will include a half dozen or more, for
on some soils one kind of grass will do bet
ter than on other soils. Some are better
adapted to pasture than for purposes Of
hay. Some do their best at one season and
some at another.
Texas blue grass is new comparatively In
this section, but it Is extensively disseminated
in some sections of Louisiana and Texas. It
belongs to the same family as the Kentucky
blue grass, but it is much larger and
coarSer than it is, and is better adapted to
the lower ATTITUDES of our country than the
Kentucky blue grass. When once its
merit is generally known it Is bound to re-
celve fair share of attention from those
who recognize the necessity of giving in
creased attention to the various branches of
stock raising.
Well set on soil suitable to its perfect de-
velopment Texas blue grass will prove a
lasting joy to the dairyman and stock
raiser. For winter and spring pasture there
are few or no plants that are superior to it.
Like Bur clover it is impatient of heat, and
dies down in May, but only to spring up
again with the first autumn rains 1t is
more satisfactorily propagated by the''sets :"
In entering upon its culture it is advisable
to SOW the seed on a small area-from a
quarter to a whole acre, and from this grow
sets to extend the area with afterward.
Very great care of course should be exer-
cised in securing stand, pulverizing the
soil thoroughly and getting it in as fine a
condition as possible, even more 80 than il
intended for turnips. Sow the seed when
the air is perfectly calm, and then roll the
land. This should be done in September OF
October. November sowings usually sue
coed, but it is not safe to defer sowing until
then. The severest weather that we have
will not injure it, and it grows very rapidly
There is no grass more relished by all kinds
of stock than it is. 1t is bound to be ap
preciated in the south some day.

Exnarlmantal Farms.

saws the American CultiUGtor. Farming IS
not and never will be an exact science. Ii
it were one could learn all there is to be

and the rest The true farmer is ever Ia

them the result depends on conditions or

sequence of this. m ~ of the farmers ex

methods, too conservative often for his o.
best good. This fully accounts for the un-
doubted tendency of farmers to get II o
ruts which their own experience and that
Others have shown to be at least safe.
This accounts in large degree for the slow
