Pure Brseais Of 0esse.

A writer in Poultry Keeper says:
''Only the common geese have the males
and females different in plumsge. All
the pure breeds have the sexes colored
the same. The Toulouse Is the largest
and the China are the best layers. The
Embden is the best for feathers, being
pure white in color. A cross Of the
Toulouse gander and Embden goose
makes the best for market. The gan
der may be known by being thicker
around the neck, and more masculine
in appearance. Though geese derive
much of their subsistence when allowed
to have access to q pond, yet they may
be pastured or may be kept in confine-
ment and fed on grass, turnips
(chopped), potatoes and grain. The
goose lays from twenty to forty eggs.
and the gander keeps faithful watch
over her at times when she is on the
nest. When setting it is best to disturb
her As little as possible. She makes a
good mother, and usually raises all her
Young ones.-Poultry Topics.

"HOG AND HAMONY. I"

Talk That Applies Equally Well to Cows.
Your last issue contained several
echoes from the great Waco Swine
Breeders meeting. Uncle Snort and
others cause us all to wish that we had
been present to hear and take part in
the hog and harmony" talk. of which
every breeder in the state should feel
proud. If we do not NIL attend the
next meeting, you may rest assured
that it is because we can't keep our
pigs out Of the orchard, or because OF
some other pressing business.
Meetings, such as that at Waco, arc
sure to result in harmony among the
breeders and much good to the state at
large. An honest pull together" by
the members of any influential interest
will result in much good to the indi-
vidual and to the community. And
now that the hog men have agreed to
work harmoniously, let the "cow
men" the dairymen Of the state. say
that they will tremendously furnish
waste milk to every hog in the state.
and lend golden color to the states
production Of animal fat.
With pull together" the Jersey
and Holstein breeders can rid our
state of the nasty oleomargarine with
which we are now flooded. Harmo-
NOUS action at this time will give ,
good state dairymen's association,
able to cope successfully with "hog
butter" authorities when our next leg
islature meets. The extensive sale Of
Sc "a, - To al h
states is a reproach to our intelligence
and thrift. At a respectable hotel in
one Of the largest cities of the state l
could get nothing to eat for butter but
oleo. nothing to drink for milk but
Illinois condensed milk. And yet this
state is the stockman's paradise.
Our state dairy interest can not pros
per under existing abuses. Many men
are no doubt making money in tho
dairy business-I know of such-but
our general interests as breeders an
milk producers are not thriving as
they should. So long Is the unfavor-
able legislation in the north and west
forces the producers of "oleo" to ship
south-we may expect more and more
of this 10 and 12-cent butter (?) to glut
our markets. Legislation in Texas, UNI
favorable to this sham. will run it out
Of the state, and double and treble our
home demand for butter. Every pound
of bogus butter consumed kills the de-
mand for two pounds of the genuine
article that would otherwise be eaten.
Under our present constitution, laws
can be SO framed as to practically ex-
clude oleomargarine by forcing all of
the stuff to bear its own proper name.
Recent decisions in the higher courts
are favorable to the enforcement Of
exclusion laws. What is the will Of
Texas dairymen? Let them speak out
through the state press--J. H. Cornell,
in Texas Farm and Ranch.

PHILLIPSBURG, Sept. 2, 1Ss6.-Candi-
date Bryan is expected to make a speech
here today. and If he stays long enough
he will find the Democracy so divided
that it is not likely to get over its en-
tangled condition before election. The
trouble was ~engendered over securing SEN
ator DAILY to speak in Phillipsburg next
Saturday evening. A self-constituted COM
mittee waited upon the Senator and OBJ
tanned his consent to speak. The COM
mittee secured Ortygia Hall, and the ar
engagements were supposed to be COM
plete.
But j. Carey threw a shell In the camp
which has exploded. He has sent a mes
sage to Senator Daily and A. w. CUT
Ter, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress. inviting them to be his guests,
while in Phillipsburg, and to speak from
a platform in front of his hotel. The
invitation was accepted, Inc Mr.. Carey
engaged a band and made arrange
ments to have a platform erected. The
self-constituted committee, upon learning
what Carey had done. became incensed
and threatened war. Mr.. Cutler came to
Phillipsburg yesterday morning. but was
unable to cool down the fighters.
The Democrats of the town met in Pa
rochial Hall this evening to form a cam
paign club, and this caused more trouble.
The plan of organization by the leader
does not meet approval.
