FIREMEN'S TOURNAMENT

BEAT THE STATE RECORD.
Did Wilmington and Newbern Act
Honestly i'm the Quick Steaming
Contest Next Meeting of Fire
men to be Held at Salisbury.

Commodore Shut is the first Win
ston delegate to return from the State
Firemen's Tournament.
He reports Newbern's entertainment
fine, but says that Wilmington tried
to fudge" on Winston. 1t appears
that Newbern's engine was ruled out
of the quick steaming contest last
year. A day or two before the tour
nament opened it is charged that
Newbern transferred her "patent ma
chinery" to Wilmington for no other
purpose but to make the latter COM
pany's engine win. This was not dis
covered until after the contest but
upon investigation yesterday the COM
mittee awarded Winston Co. No. the
second prize.
The next annual meeting of the
State Firemen's Association will be
held at Salisbury.

his hat sto boot" and apparently ride
home bare-headed. I heard a Cataw-

earth he got his horse up when he
started to town. 1t is just as bad, on
the other extreme, to leave the horse
swapping grounds and stop On the
main streets and around the hotels,
for the crowd found there are self
made financiers.
In the court room Judge Furches,
Judge Armfleld, Judge Coble and
Judge Norwood are seen, with the en-
tire ministry of the town, where a
struggle is going on, trying to locate
the father of a squalling brat.

An amusing scene, which naturally
attracted large crowd of interested
spectators, occurred on Liberty street
shortly after 10 o'clock Saturday

and allow him (Hudson) to play on

STACKING HAY FOR WINTER USE.

crosspiece is suspended a track for a
hay fork. Hay is brought up at the end
of this frame and by the proper ar
rangement of pulleys the hay is easily
lifted from the wagons and transferred
to the stack, which can be made, OF
course, as high as the frames. When
it is desirable to move this from one
portion of the field to another, simply
hitch a horse to the end of each sill
and pull it wherever desired. Make
the sills rounding at one end so it will
slip over the ground like sled. The
upright timbers are mortised firmly
into the sills, thus making the whole
strong and durable. If larger and
higher stacks are to be built, the size
of the frame can be varied according
ly. It is very handy device if made
properly, and for those who have a
great deal of field stacking to do is
worthy of trial.-Farm and Home.

20 sit. Geese average about forty-five
eggs m a year, but occasionally run up
TO sixty, or even seventy. Breeding
geese should be kept rather thin in
flesh and have free grass range.
Newly Matched gOslings do not require
food for the first twentyfour 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
1t is impossible for them to moult
,artifcially 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.
Geese usually sell best at the Christ
mas holidays, and not at Thanksgiv-
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
8 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
aneal they can consume. They must
not be separated like fowls, as they are
very sociable and pine away if kept in
solitude. AS soon as the desire for
food slacl<ens, they should be killed,
as they are as fat as they will get and
will lose flesh instead of gaining it

LIVESTOCK NOTES.

Don't allow the cows to be driven by
dogs.
SAVE the heifer calves from the best
xnill1ers.
Do NOT forget the calves in the ''back
Eot." They need shade and water.
IL the weather is dry and hot in your
section-all the more reason the hogs
and other stock should be provided
with shade.
Do NOT be so unwise as to grow only
the frame of a hog this summer. Have
some meat on it, then it will be an easy
matter to lay on the fat this fall.
MIDDLINGs or shorts, with the house
Stops, will help out the hog pasture.
These with plenty of pure water and
free access to salt and ashes ought to
give you healthy hogs and cheap pork.

Chickens fed on an exclusive corn
diet will not make satisfactory de-
velopment, particularly of feathers.
The bones of chickens fed on nitro
geneous ration are fifty per cent.
stronger than those fed on carbona-
cious ration. Hens fed on corn, while
not suffering in general health, be-
come sluggish and deposit large masses

AGRICULTURAL HINTS.
ABOUT GOOSE RAISING.

She Most Profitable Varieties and How to
Rear and Fatten.
Geese as an article of food are more
high1y 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 a larger demand for it might
readily be developed. Under suitable
conditions these water fowl are very
profitable. If given the range of a
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
gray plumage and are quiet and gentle
in disposition.
the Embdens are pure white, cir
cumstance which causes them to be
preferred by many. They are some
what smaller than the Toulouse and
their plumage is more compact. A
good cross for the market is Tou-
House gander and Embden goose.
Geese begin to lay when about year
old. The gander is best for breeding
purposes after his second year, and he
will remain in vigor for several sea-
sons. Old geese make better mothers
than young ones and should be kept
for breeding and laying. When first
commencing to lay, geese are apt to be
irregular, but as they mature they will
lay regularly and give a litter of fif-
teen or twenty eggs before attempting
