NEW FODDER CROPS.

New fodder crops continue TO at
tract much attention at the Vermont
station. SOFA beans of the green and
black varieties have proved satisfac-
tory each year. No other leguminous
hoed crop has given better returns in
tonnage of green fodder, dry matter, or
protein. The green variety yielded at
the rate of six and one-half tons green
and two tons dry fodder, and nearly
one-quarter of ton of protein
to the acre Good growths were
made of hairy and spring vetches with
and without oats, but after experience
with these crops for several years Mt
the Vermont station they are consid-
cred unequal to peas and oats. Sierra
della yielded about ton OF dry mat
ter per acre, and is recommended as
promising forage crop that is rich Ill
protein.-American Agriculturist.

GEESE.

No fowl can be reared with as much
profit and with so little care as the
goose. says the Poultry Fancier. After
they have attained the age Of four
months but little attention is required
other than supplying plenty of fresh
water good grass range and scru-
pul0usly dry roosting place. VIII Oh also
must he free from lice and other YER
min fatal to the young.
II it is impossible to provide free
range. the next best substitute is wire
netting which need be but about e;gh-
teen inches high to confine them until
matured. Give them fresh water
twice each day, also green food, such
as turnip tops, celery and cabbage, or
allow them free range morning and
evening.
When Thanksgiving time arrives Won
can generally dispose of the young COS
lings at ten cents per pound, and their
average weight will be about ten
pounds. Suppose. for instance. Won
have twelve ''gooselets' at ST each. the
receipts from the sale would be $40.
and the cost Of feed has been but a
trife. 1t is safe to say that your profit
will have been $40 on the transaction.
or course they cannot always be dis
posed of at 81 each; but, on the other
hand. the price is often more than a
dollar: hence we take 1t a. q basis ON
