MANAeEMENr oF GEESE.

Although geese are aquatic birds, they
do not require water except at the breed
ing season, when they need stream or
pond TO mate in. They are mostly grass
eaters, and five Of them will eat as much
grass as a sheep, and spoil more, unless
the pasture is changed frequently. Dur
ing the winter they are usually fed on
oats, with cabbage leaves and chopped
onions, Of which they are especially
fond. For rearing goslings, young gan
ders only should be used, as the old
ones will pair of with one goose and
neglect the others. A young one will
take care of three or four geese. A suit.
able place for the nests is to be provided,
and short straw, old rags, and such ma
terial is given to them for making their
nests; or straw nest may be made in a
shallow box for each goose. The geese
arc shut up at night and kept in until
they have laid. The eggs are removed
and kept in a cool place until the litter
is complete, when the bird Is set and
shut up and fed and watered daily.
When the goslings appear they and the
goose are put on good grass pasture,
which is all they will need, but where
pastulc cannot be provided the food may
consist OF etale, dry bread, soaked IN
sweet akimmed milk curd OF sour milk,

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Do not dog the COWS.
Do not frighten the sheep.
Look out for the gentle bull.
Do not keep the hogs in filthy pen.
Pruning should not be done after
blossom time.
Oil meal will ''fat" up the skim milk
for the calves.
There is no such thing as a moth
proof beehive.
A wet fleece is not comfortable even
in hot weather.
Eight is the proper number of frames
in any bee brood chamber.
Chickens raised in brooders should be
fed the same as those that are with the
hens.
Clipping the wings of queen bee
does not injure her usefulness, but is the
mutilation necessarily
Bees are only made profitable in pro-
portion to the manner and degree of in
telligence with which they are man
aged.
The best time to transfer bees is at
the beginning of apple blooming. Then
there are not many bees, and but little
honey.
BY good cultivation you can produce
500 bushels of tomatoes per acre. If
you can contract at twenty cents to a
canning factory the crop will pay we'll.
Proper care of the farm horses has as
much to do with their condition as does
good feed. A little grooming won't hurt
them, even if it is the height of the busy
season.
Growing cucumbers for pickles is one
Of the best uses to which you can put
good ground for a second crop. The
yield will be largely increased if you can
irrigate.
Women can prune as well as men, and
often better, but are apt to find it tiring
to stand on the rounds of a ladder.
Ladders made with broader steps are bet
ter for them.
Nitrate Of soda has been found very
effective for root lice on peach trees. A
quart to each tree is good for the tree on
general principles, and destructive to the
lice in particular.
If our crops were properly diversified
and we were growing every product of
agriculture that we use, with the area
now being cropped, there could not
possibly be any over-production.
Sometimes hens become very indus
trious and refuse to sit just when their
owner wants their services the most. In
such cases feed corn freely, and with
hold bran, meat and seasoned food.
In marketing poultry a neatly dressed
carcass is balf sold. Bleed in the mouth,
dry pick, draw every feather, wash feet
and head to remove dirt and blood, and
pack in clean box, basket OF barrel,

BEST TIME TO SHEAR surrp

There is considerable difference OF
opinion as to tie best time for sheering
sheep. Leaving out of the account the
few who shear very early (sometimes
even in winter, in order to fit their an
imals for show purposes, there are two
classes of owners-one who think it best
to remove the wool from their sheen as
soon as few warm days come in the
spring, and another who believe it to be
wise to wait until the nights as woll as
the days are warm, and the summer heat
has become strong and permanent. 1t
seems to us that there are valid obiec-
tions against either extreme. If deprived
OF their wool too early in the season,
sheep suffer great deal from cold and
are also liable to contract severe lung
diseases. The removal of fleece of
average weight must make q great diff
ference in the condition of the animal,
and one which it cannot safely with
stand in cold weather or if it is soon to
be exposed to sharp winds or heavy
storms. On the other hand, the heat of
some of the cary summer days is very
prostrating to sheep which still have
their fleeces, and must not only be ex-
tremely uncomfortable but also decidedly
unhealthful. For this reason we believe
it is safer and better to avoid either of
these extremes. 1t is not we'll to do the
shearing until the weather is warm, and
there can be no gain, and there may be
much loss, in delaying the work after
that time has arrived.-American Dairy

THE GOLD OF RIGHT HABITS.
This bi.chloride treatment of gold, my dear
boy,
Ofwhich in the papers we read,
Will doubtless bring joy into homes full of
And balm to some hearts which now
bleed;
For many man, whois travelling down
The hill that most surely will lead
To death and destruction, will grasp at this
gold,
As drowning men grasp at a reed.
But gold can be taken in childhood, my
boy,
Which works in far surer way;
The gold of right habits, pure thoughts and
desires,
Bright bands, growing brighter each day:
The gold which is sent from the Father
above,
To shield from the tempters hard sway.
Each boy who will take up his stand for the
right
And not for one moment delay.
So seek for this gold in your spring time
dear boy,
This wisdom and strength from on high.
Then safely you'll walk through the wears
that will come,
Though many pitfall be nigh,
For God sends His angel to camp round
that boy,
Who dares to stand firm, though he die.
And leads him through all of the dangers of
youth
Up, up TO that home in the sky.

WHAT DRINK DOES,

The following are some of the reasons
why I. V. Powderly advocates the temper
ance cause:
'Why do 1 so bitterly arraign the poor
drunkard?
''For the reason that he is drunkard and
because he has made himself poor through
his love of drink. Did l. or any other man,
rob him of the money he has squandered
in drink? Did make him poor? The vilest
names that tongue can frame would he ap-
ply to me if Ibid. Must 1 stand idly by and
remain silent while he robs himself? Did he
rob only himself it would not make so much
difference. He robs parents, wife and chill
dren. be robS his aged father and mother
through love of drink. He gives for rum
what should so for their support.
when they murmur he turns them from
his door, and points with contaminated fiu-
ger towards the poor house. He next turns
toward his wife and robs her of what should
be devoted TO the keeping of her home in
comfort and plenty. He robs her of her
wedding ring and pawns it for drink. He
turns his daughter from his door in fit of
drunken anger, and drives her to commit
deplorable crimes, and then accepts from
her hand the proceeds of her shame. To
satisfy his love for drink he takes the price
OF his chid's virtue and innocence from her
sin-stained, lust-bejewelled fingers a nd with
1T totters to the bar TO pay it to the man
who does not deny the justice of my po-
sitlon.' do not arraigu the man who
drinks because he is poor, but because, though
being slave to drink he has made himself
and family poor. | do not hate the man
who drinks, for l have carried drunken men
TO their homes on my back rather than al
low them to remain exposed to inclement
weather. | do not hate the drunkard-hs
is what drink has effected; and while 1 do
not hate the effect, abhor and loathe the
cause.'

Rev. DIR. Talmage, in a recent number OF
the Christian Herald, writing G litorially of
"Stimulate1 Work. says:
God intended us all TO be busy. The sun
ami moon in six thousand years have rested
only Part OF a day; aud then it took
miracle TO stop them Nothing that God
ever made, animate or inanimate human or
angelic, can afford TO quit work. But the
outlay of human energy often leads to in
ebriation. Men have so much to do that
they think they must have artificial stimu-
lus. Vast multitudes of professional men
have found their nervous system exhausted,
and their brain lethargic, and have resorted
to this dangerous help. Now what man
cannot do without perpetual stmulant do
not believe he ought to do. You are re-
sponsible for no more strength than that
which you have in your arm, aud for no
more speed than you have in your foot, and
for no more vivacity than you have in your
brain. God asks no more, and the world
has right to expect no more. Notwith-
standing this some of the most brilliant
men in the law and medicine, yea, even in
the ministry, have fallen overheard. 1t will
be glorious day for Britain and the United
States when all their professional men and
artisans shall throw the bottle out of the
back window. 1t may require a struggle;
but what great and grand and glorious
thing was ever done without a struggle!

HORSES SHOULD WEAR LIGHT SHOES.


Horses are commonly made to carry
tco heavy shoes. Tho shoe is designed
merely to protect the hoof, and the
lighter it can be made and still serve its
purpose, the better for the horse. Horses
that arc devoted to farm work, and on
land where there are few or no stones,
may dispense with shoes, except while
the ground is frozen. This would be of
great advantage to the horse, to say
nothing of the saving in the horseshoer's
bill. But most horses requires shoeing,
and the shoes worn are generally heavy
iron ones. Steel shoes can be made
lighter, will wear longer, and the first
cost is not so much more that it need pre-
vent their being used. Light horses and
driving horses should always wear them.
For horses of HOO pounds weight, and
with well-shaped, upright feet, the fore
shoes should weigh about one pound
each, and the hind ones twelve ounces.
If four ounces are added to each shoe, let
us zee what difference it will make.
In plowing, cultivating, moving, reap
ing and many other farm operations, a
horse will walk from ten to twenty miles
day, aud advance about four feet at
step. At each step the horse lifts half
pound extra on its two feet or $50 pounds
in every mile. In a days work of fifteen
miles, they would lift $500 pounds extra
or nearly five tons. If the force required
to lift this five tons of iron could be ex-
pended In the work the horse is doing,
much more could be accomplished. In
the light of these facts, is it any wonder
that when young horses begin to wear
shoes, they soon grow leg-weary, have
their step shortened and acquire slower
walking gait3-American Agriculturist.
