Cause Of Vertigo In Geese.

The most frequent difficulty with
ducks and geese is that of vertigo. They
drop down on their feet or fall over to
one side suddenly, at times as rapidly

happens only when ducks or geese are
fed OH too much grain. The best system
to adopt in summer is to put them in a
field where short grass is abundant, or
even young weeds, and let them get the
food for themselves. They require but
very little food in summer, as they are

CORN ON He COB.
Some Reasons Why 1t Should New
NJ ~.

Some Reasons Why 1t Should Never
BE Fed to Horses.
Corn on the cob should never be fed
to horses, as there is always a risk
Of making them sick by doing so.
When corn on the cob is fed, unless a
horses appetite is carefully noted and
just enough is given to him., he will
eat the cob also, and as the cob is more
OF less indigestible there is big chance
Of making him sick and losing him.
In feeding a horse care should be taken
to give him just enough and no more,
too much being almost as bad as too
little: "''-'
I have just heard of an experience
with a good horse which proves the
truth of what have said. One of nv
friends who has negro hostler has
had trouble about keeping his horses
well and in good condition, owing to
the fact that if the hostler, for any
reason, lost his temper with one of
the horses he gave that horses break
fast, dinner or supper to another horse,
and when the stinted horse got his next
meal (for the negro was afraid to cut
him more than one meal at a time) he
would eat cobs as well as the corn.
One evening some time ago, when the
stock came in from work, one of the
horses was sick and it was found that
he had Indigestion. A remedy was
given, and when after long work on
him the sick animal evacuated a great
number of pieces of cob as large as 4
chestnut were found, which showed
conclusively the cause of the trouble.
No blame was attached to the hostler
at the time, but soon after another ne
gro who had a grudge against the ILL.,
tempered hostler told how the horses
were treated; investigation proved the
truth of the story and the hostler was
discharged. Since that time the horses
have been fed on shelled corn and there
has been no trouble, all of them keep
ing in perfect health and looking we'll.
1t is some trouble and slight adj
ditional expense to shell the corn for
the horses, but it is better to do this
than to have to sit up for hours with
a sick horse and perhaps lose him at
last. 1t is not, however, a great deal
OF trouble to me to shell my corn, as

the work is so light and pleasant that

danger, but horses cannot A horse is

more carefully treated than any other
class of stock or he will not thrive

TURNING OVER A NEW LEAF.
Fhe Making NnA Keeping Of Good
Resolutions.

Fhe Making MnA Keeping Of Good
Resolutions.
Inevitable as the New Year itself is
the crop of good resolutions that spring
up with its advent. And often the
question arises as to the value. or de-
STABILITY OF all these resolves. As far
back as the days Of Deborah and Barak,
it was scornfully asked of what pur-
pose were great resolves of heart if
these resulted in mo action, but were
dissipated in mere talk, and dissolved
into thin air when brought to the test?
And it is as easy to-day to make resolu-
tons and not keep them as when the
Reubenites remained behind at the
sheep folds.
To make good resolutions is undoubt-
edly good thing, but to make, and then
break them, cannot fail to have de-
moraliz!ng effect upon one. Not that
it is always, or, perhaps ever, possible
Tor us to live up to our own highest pur-
poses, nor that because this is so, we
should limit ourselves to low ideals. Far
be it from us. we must aim as high as
possible; falling then, we fail at least
nearer the top. But to keep on making
resolutions and allowing these easily
to lose their hold upon us, to let slip the
occasion when We see it, because we, are
too tired" or in "too great hurry"
or haven't time," or positively ''don't
care" and then to feel that we can
make these same resolutions all over
again when the mood serves, this is
pernicious. For each time the resolve
is let go means that much less self-re-
spect, that much less tenacity and in
tegrity of purpose, that much less
power of holding On, for the record is
broken, and the great resolve has
turned out to be a mere dead letter.
The trouble is in being content with
making the resolutions. This is only
the beginning, and behind and beneath
it must be the strong determination to
keep to the resolve, to let it lift our life
to higher level. It is not only the
turning over Of the new leaf that is
necessary, it is in making the contents
of that leaf all that they should be un-
til the time comes to turn the next,
that the effort consists.-Washingto

Poultry Raising II Not Rapid Road.

tits unfortunate for one to enter into
business and fail because of ign0-
rance or lack Of knowledge of how
to manage. and it is seldom that it is
done in mercantile pursuits; yet hum
dreds attempt the poultry business I'M
der the superstition that amy body can
raise chickens" when. the fact is that
the poultry business requires more
skill in management than is required
in raising cattle or other large stock.
The reason is that if farmer has one
or two COWS, the small number permits
him to become familiar with each ami
NAL. He knows their peculiarities. the
kinds of food preferred by each, and
should one of them become sick he
quickly detects it and at once proceeds
to use remedies, if necessary sitting
up all night to take care of it. With
a flock of so hens. however, the case is
different. Although the flock will
not require any more room than one
COW, yet there are so individuals, each
being entirely different in many re-
spects from the others, and all having
their characteristics and peculiarities,
making it much more difficult to un-
derstand their requirements. The Or
binary farmland seldom notices the
poultry except to occasionally give a
mess of corn, and but few farmers give
sufficient personal attention to fully
understand the thorough management
of flock so as to derive the largest
profit therefrom. On the large ma
jority of farms the owners do not know
how many fowls they lose in year
from the numerous causes and dangers,
and there are also hundreds of farmers
who do not know whether their fowls
pay or not.
If the beginner (perhaps some person
who desires to seek living outside OF
city on a limited capitaD is to succeed
he must pursue course which differs
from that usually practiced on farms.
But how is he to know, and how can he
anticipate the various conditions I'M
| der obstacles which he may meet ?
Even a small investment is a great deal
when it represents all, perhaps the saw
ings Of years; hence the greater neces-
sity for knowledge in going into the
poultry business.
1t is possible that a beginner may
have fair success the first year, but as a
rule such is not generally the case.
The only safe mode is to begin with a
few, expect no profit the first year and
but little the next, devoting the time to
learning without mourning much risk,
and success will come later.-Farm and

Celery IL . Biennial.

Celery is ordinarily a biennial; that
is to say, it requires two seasons to
come to maturity. In this habit it is
like the turnip, cabbage, carrot and
many other familiar plants, which form
a cluster of leaves and strong root
during the first seasons growth, live
over winter, and the following season
send up seed stalk. After ripening it's
seed the plant dies. The biennial habit
of growth is not absolutely fixed in the
case of celery, for the plants occasional
ly complete their growth in a single
season, from seed, and die.

Dry Bedding for Stock.

A man or an animal can endure any
amount of ventilation during the day,
but when night comes the animal, like
the man, delights in warm and soft
bed, free from draughts of air. The
cold draughts in the stable frequently
come along the floor, chilling the ami
NAL when it is at rest. This fact should
teach the farmer that he will make no
mistake in using plenty of dry bedding,
and it should be thick and loose, thus
preventing draughts from below and
assisting to retain the animal hest.
