ELECTRIC BAGGAGE AND PASSENGER CAR
express company collects large part
of its freight with similar cars. Teams
are not entirely dispensed with, but
bring loads TO three sub-stations for
transfer TO the electric cars and also
distribute matter delivered at those
points. The enterprise is reported to
have proved profitable. In the Same
city an electric ambulance, designed to
run on trolley roads, has been built for
communication between the city dSs-
pensary and the various hospitals; and
at last accounts there was talk of de-
veloping that idea still further.
Still another branch of transportation
that is beginning to attract attention
is the freight traffic in rural districts
conducted by electric cars. Farmers
not only have a chance thus afforded
TO run into town themselves, but they
have facilities for shipping their prod

How Good Roads Would Benefit the

We have in our province, writes an

factories Each receives on an average
1000 pounds of milk day, being 5,O00,-
600 pounds per day and 1900, 900
pounds per season for the whole
province On account of the bad
condition Of oN roads not more
than 500 pounds of milk are
carried in each load brought to the
factory, which is five loads per day, or
$50 loads per season, on an average
for each factory Putting each load at
so cents, which is not too high, on ac-
count of the whey being carried back
to the farmer, this represents an ex-
penditure of 1878 for each factory. For
the whole province, calculating that
$50, 200, 600 pounds of milk have to be
carried, it represents an amount Of
S46S, $50
Let ms suppose now that we have
everywhere good roads instead of bad
ones. Then we will certainly be able
to draw loads of / 200 pounds of milk
instead of loads of 800 pounds. In that
case instead of having to carry $50, 0Oo,-
900 pounds of milk In 937, 800 loads Of
800 pounds each, at cost of S46s, 750
we would have to carry only e25. 900

cost of so cents would represent only

Rear and Fatten.

Rear and Fatten.
Geese as an article of food are more
highly esteemed in Europe than in this
country, where the turkey occupies
first place in our affections. Neverthe-
less, the juicy meat is most toothsome,
and larger demand for it might
readily be developed. Under suita BILE
conditions these water fowl are very
profitable. II given the range of q
good pasture, with plenty of water,
they need less care and attention than
turkeys or chickens. They are hardy,
easily raised and less subject to lice,
while their food is less expensive.
Their feathers should pay the expense
Of their keep, the returns from the
birds themselves being clear profit
The Toulouse and the Embden are
the best known breeds Of geese, and
there is more money in raising them
than in the small mongrel stock often
seen, as they produce twice as much
meat and feathers and fatten more
readily for market. The Toulouse are
the largest geese known. They have

TO sit Geese average about forty-hve
eggs in "A year, but occasionally run up
10 sixty, or even seventy. Breeding
geese should be kept rather thin In
flesh and have a free grass range.
Newly Matched goslings do not require
food for the first twenty-four hours
They should be fed on hard boiled
eggs, chopped fine, stale bread soaked
In milk, scalded meal, boiled potatoes,
etc, and kept away from the water for
the first fortnight and housed in dry
place until strong enough to run about
wei.
Geese require grass as much as cat
tie and should have it in abundance.
They also feather out more quickly
when permitted to run on green pasture
and have plenty of water. Under these
conditions they should produce good
crop of feathers every ten weeks They
should not be plucked while laying, as
it is impossible for them to moult
artificially and produce strong eggs at
the same time. If the feathers are
ripe they will come easily and are dry
at the quill end. If soft and bloody,
they must be left for some time
longer.

ing, as many suppose. The demand
for them is greater in the colder
weather. The Irish and Germans are
the largest consumers of geese In this
country Before marketing geese
must be fattened. This process will
occupy from two to three weeks They
should be put in darkened room,
with sufficient light for them to see to
eat, and be given all the oats and corn
meal they can consume. They must
not b.. separated like fowls, as they are
very sociable and pine away if kept in
solitude. AS soon as the desire for
food slackens, they should be killed,

will lose flesh instead of gaining It
