varieties Of China, Brown and White.
although hardy, are not large enough
and do not make pounds enough of flesh
for the early market. The writer has
been quite successful with two crosses,
those made by mating an African gam
der and Embden geese and then crossing
the young geese with pure African
gander. The most perfect geese are the
pure bred African, as they mature ear
lier and will lay more eggs while young,
and they are very vigorous and hardy.
1t is usual to raise all of them that are
hatched.
The Toulouse, though large breed of
geese, are not quite as hardy. They are
fully as good layers as the African, but
will not take on flesh quite as fast when
fatting for the early market.
The Embdcn, sometimes called the
Bremen, although not quite as large as
either of the other two varieties, have
the advantage of being pure white, with
yellow bill When picked, their flesh
is very white and will sell readily, yet
they are not rs good layers as the Others
mentioned, seldom laying more than IL
or Is eggs to a clutch. The African or
Toulouse will lay from Is to rs. Every
gosling may le regarded as worth 81 as
soon as it is two days old. In the cross
mentioned above an improvement is
gained in tie number of eggs, a marked
improvement in the color of the flesh,
and the green goose for early market, if
we'll fatted, will sell very readily.
Keep the goose laying as long as she
will; then she will line her nest and want
= to sit. Break her up. and in about week
she will lay again. After she finishes
that clutch allow her to sit and hatch.
Then let her and the gander run with
the young, for both will guard them with
care and the goose grow strong again.

Last Tuesday night the members
of Stoddard Post gave an "army
banquet to the ladies of the w. r. G.
There was large number present,
and the evening was most enjoyably
spent by all. Happily Senator w. D.
Washburn was in the city and &C
cepted an invitation to be present. OF
course he was pressed to the front, to
make few remarks, which he did,
after which there was a general hand
shaking with Minnesota's popular U.
S. Senator. Aside from the refresh
ments there was quite a literary
and musical program. Miss Naylor,
recited, Prof. Hecox sang a number
of choice selections, Mrs. Geo. Brant,
sang her famous revival song, Com
mander Town, of course, made a
speech, Miss Carrie Mcclure favored
the company with recitation, Sena-
tor Washburn, with bevy of young
and married ladies sang few sacred
hymns, Rev. Rob't. McCune was
rather quiet, for him, friend Bingham
gave Prof. Hecox the wink when it
was time to quit. Altogether it was
one of the G. A. r. and w. R. C.'s
royal good meetings and it was pleas
ant to be there.

PAINFUL accident by Fire.

Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. George
Houck, living about one mile north
of Blackfoot, went into a barn near
her dwelling to look after a brood of
little chickens. At the time the wind
was blowing almost a hurricane.
When she had gathered up the little
chickens in her apron. her son Earl
who was on the outside of the barn
but near by, cried to her : ''The barn
is on fire." Turning to rush out she
found her way obstructed by flames
at the door, and escape that way was
impossible. She next. rushed to a
window and broke the sash and lights
and escaped through it but not until
her clothing was on fire and burning
rapidly. She fell overcome immedi-
ately on the outside and but for in
slant assistance from her son, she
would have burned to death then and
there. As it was she was seriously
and painfully burned.
The barn containing harness, tools
and many valuable articles for the
farm and some hay were burned.
How the fire originated cannot be
explained by Mrs. Houck nor any
member of tie family. The wind was
blowing very hard and the sudden
spreading flames were like those of
an explosion.
Mrs. Houck's many friends, while
deeply panied at her misfortune and
suferings, are pleased that the acci-
dent was no worse and that aid came
in time TO save her life.

Coed For Mothers in any Town.

A mother once wrote an editor to
tell her in what way she could keep
her boys home at night He might
have told her in pretty language all
about making home attractive, but he
didn't. He merely made this reply
"Tell your boys to stay at home at
night and see that they stay there.
And that is the only way that 1t
can be done, but in seeing it done
also surrounds the boys with all the
attractions that pure home can
bring to bear and these influences will
soon make what at first seemed lrk-
some or a downright punishment a
veritable pleasure. Boys thus treated
are not nearly SO liable to go to prison
or the gallows. But how many par
ents in Boise or elsewhere pursue this
course towards boys who are inclined
to prefer the streets at night to the
family circle,-Boise Democrat.
