most, literally, new world. Such a spot is
Yellowstone Park There is no place like it
in the world. You will be astonished at what
you see and learn there. A months outing
in those mountains 1000 feet above the sea
level, in an atmosphere pure and invigor-
ating, would add years to your life. There
are four modern hotels, good roads-main-
tanned by the U. s. Government-for rid
ing. driving, or cycling; riding horses and
pack trains Geysers, canyons, mud springs,
lakes, cataracts and cascades in large num-
bers, are crowded into space 81 by 81
miles in SIZE If you can afford it, you
wrong yourself by not going there, especi-
ally if you are patriotic American. If
you cannot afford it, then go to beautiful
Leech Lake in Minnesota, new and popu-
lar resort. New hotels. fine fishing and
hunting, and good boating at reasonable
rates. Send Chas. s.. Fee, of Northern
Pacific Railway, st. Paul, Mimi, six cents

The egg of the queen bee is about
one-sixteenth of an inch long, and as
large around as fine cambria needle
These are deposited in the cells by the
queen, sticking fast to the bottom OF
the cell so as to stand on end, being
held by an adhesive substance. In
from 60 to u hours these eggs hatch
into little worms or larvae. They re-
main in the larval state about six
days, when the cell containing them
is sealed over with raised Gaping by
the worker bees, and the larva, after
spinning it cocoon and undergoing a
transformation similar to that from
caterpillar to butterfly, energies per-
feet insect, as worker bee, in 81 days,
or as a drone in "a days, the time be-
ing accelerated a little by extreme
heat, or retarded by cool weather.

GRAY AFRICAN GEESE.

placed out of sight and hearing of
their mates, or they will be restless
and will consequently not take on fat
so easily. Plenty of grass and water
must be given daily, in addition to
grain or scalded meal. Cooked tur-
nips may be fed also, as they relish
this vegetable
Young goslings should not be al
lowed to get chilled, but must be cared
for much the same as ducklings until
strong enough to follow the mother
goose. While the goose must have
plenty of drinking water and a bath
now and then is beneficial, it is not es-
sential that ponds should be prepared
for them, nor that they should dabble
in water at all times. If running water
| is a natural feature of the farm and
then it will be necessary to pen the
| goslings and the mothers for a few
weeks until the down is we'll out on the
goslings. There is no prettier sight,
at, least among the feathered tribe,
than a family Of goslings, which are
seemingly golden balls of fluffy down,
sailing serenely by the side of their
mother. Corn meal slightly sailed,
should be fed to goslings; also table
scraps are much liked.
One pound of feathers is nearly the
average obtained from six geese when
picked for their feathers. When
killed three geese will furnish one
pound of feathers.
The African or Toulouse will lay
from 20 to rs eggs. The first laying
should be set under hens and the goose
allowed to sit on the last laying or
clutch, as it is called. AS rule each
goose should average 20 goslngs in a
year, and as the average weight will be
about ten pounds each when we'll fat
tened for market, it will be seen that
with goodtb breed to start with, good
care, ETC., araising geese for market
will prove as paying as other branches
of poultry raising. Those who intend
shipping should send to dealers in
poultry for modes of preparing for
market, since modes differ in different
sections.-A. C. Mcpherson, in Farm

THE HORSES FOOT.
If 1t Is Not Kept in an Excellent Con-
litiOn the Animal Will Soon
BE Practically Useless.

In horse strong foot has the
fibers of the hoof very distinct, SO
much SO that they resemble in appear
ance those of easily split timber. But
hoof of this kind, if not kept moist
and pliable, soon becomes almost as
hard as iron and is liable to render the
foot lame and tender, without reveal
ing the cause of the lameness. When
it is hurt and locally inflamed, trouble
some cruptions around the coronet
are liable to appear.
A ''thin hoof" is one which has a
thin wall. It may be perfectly shaped
in every way, but is peculiarly liable
to get cut Of order either from attach
ing the shoe, travelling on hard ground
or during excessive drought in sum-
mer or of moisture in winter. In near
ly all cases the bottom of thin hoof
is ragged, and when the shoe is re-
moved the whole verge is seen to be
thin.
A ACKNOWLEDGED foot is. in some
cases, reasonably good, but in others
is inclined to various bad conditions,
and when tempered with, as is SO often
done by blacksmiths in shoeing, is al
most certain to become hoofbound.
A hoof of disproportionately large
size is in most cases accompanied by a
slenderness and comparative weak
ness of limb and is a good Indication
of inability for brisk or vigorous ac-
ton. A horse with high-heeled foot
is subject to unsteadiness of action
and is liable to stumble and to sprains
in the coffin or pastern joints, while
a bad traveller.
A fiat foot, shaped like an oyster,
usually has many rings or wrinkles,
and usually requires hollow-shaped
shoe. In many cases. for want of a
sufficiently strong wall, much diff

ing proper fastening for the shoe, and

of medium size, neither too hard
and brittle nor too soft, without
wrinkles, with the heel firm and
in no way rotten or spongy, with
the frog horny and dry, with the sole
somewhat hollow, like the inside of a
dish, let the color be what it may
such foot will nearly always turn out
good, although good judges object to
too many white feet, preferring dark
or black hoofs.--St. Louis Republic.

COULD BE HAPPY YET
The Old Mountaineer Had Had a
Troublesome Time.


WHILE making a trip through the
Wv mountains of eastern Kentucky
last summer I stopped one day under
the inviting shade of thick-headed
beech to rest and cool my horse.
Soon I heard soft, measured tramp,
tramp in the thick dust of the road,
and, looking up, beheld an old man
approaching my shade, his chin against
his breast. =
He came up, said: "Howdy, stran-
ger" took seat close by my side and
emitted long, deep sigh.
He took out his jackknife and nerv-
ously whitfield his right shoe sole a
few seconds, then closed the knife
again, rammed it back in his pocket
and looked around at me with an ex-
preston of desperate agony.
"Mister," he began, after a signing
pause, I'm in a heap O trouble this

Glover Causes Soldering.

There is in all clovers more or less
of principle that tends to cause slob-
bering in horses. 1t is now believed
that this principle is more largely
found in the seeds than in other parts
of the plants 1t is not probable that
there will be any difficulty in using the
hay if the crimson clover is cut before
the seed is fully formed. Since Grim
son clover seeds abundantly at the
first blossoming. it is more likely to
give trouble than the ordinary red
clover, which seeds very little or not
at all at the first blooming.-Troy

This Is Worth Considerinx.

Experiments recently made at the
Michigan Experimental station show
that about four times as much feed is
obtained from a meadow allowed to
mature hay as from field pastured. In
soiling, the difference would probably
not be so great, owing to the fact that
the grass, or peas, or alfalfa, or what
ever is grown for the purpose, is cut
before it fully natures, but even then
from two to three times the number of
animals can be supported by soiling as
on pasture.-Prairie Farmer.
