GEESE ARE CLEANLY.
II They Have Plenty of Water They
Are Never Seen Except When
Fit for Dress Parade.

"A goose is the cleanest fowl alive"
says Sol Renaker, owner of a farm in
Kentucky on which he keeps more than
$4,000 geese. 81 have been in the poul-
try business since 1881, have handled all
kinds of domestic fowl, and have
studied their habits closely and have
never seen anything which equals the
goose in cleanliness. They are con-
stantly at work keeping their feathers
clean. and if they have plenty of water
they are never seen except when fit for
dress parade. They are equally careful
regarding their food. On one occasion
we bought lot of corn which had
musted, and the geese would not eat
dough made from it, nor will they eat
dough after it has soured On this uc-
count we have to be very careful to mix
up no more dough than the geese will
cat up in day. Another peculiar thing
about geese is that they eat great deal
more some days than they do on others.
For instance, it frequently requires so
or 40 buckets of dough day to given
pen of geese. Then for u few days they
will not eat more than a dozen buckets.
When they have plenty of water and
wholesome food geese fatten rapidly
and have no disease. but unless they
have an opportunity to keep clean and
have pure food they die rapidly"

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep down all surplus stock; market
all that is not needed.
Feed wheat to chickens as soon as
they are able to eat it.
Removing to warm, dry quarters will
prevent the biggest half of any dis
ease
From this time on through the win
ter early feeding will give the best re-
suits.
Lime water is a cure for bowel dis
eases and is also remedy for soft
shelled eggs.
Milk has all the necessary elements
for the production of fat and gives the
skin a good color.
In too many cases the poultry are
overfed, causing them to become too
fat and unproductiye.
Dry lime is too caustic to be given
clone. A better plan is to keep a vessel
of lime water convenient.
Boiling the milk that is fed to fowls
will increase its value and lessen the
risk of its producing disease.
Chickens intended for breeding stock
should not be pushed too fast or be
overfed. A steady development is best.
Too few roosters or old, inferior stock
on the male side, want of moisture dur
ing incubation are well-known causes
of infertility of eggs-St. Louis Re-

CHARM OF FARM LIFE.
The Rural HabItation Is the Place
Where Home Ties Are Strong
est and Puresf.

No one pretends that farmers are
making money rapidly; they have their
veXations and discouragements as do
others, but they have several things to
be very thankful for. They have good
homes in nearly every case, plenty OF
wholesome food and decent clothes.
They are not under the eye of the task
master, nor working under great nerv-
Gus strain, with every minute lost from
work counted against them when pay
day comes. They need not, in the Ian
guage of the shops, "be afraid OF their
ttnbs;" they are working for themselves
and arc sure of their pay even if it is
not as large as they might wish 1t to be.
The man who looks upon his farm as a
machine from which dollars only are to
be made, and does not value any others
of the numberless blessings it gives
him, will never cease to talk about hard
times. 1t is not alone for the money it
will produce that the farm should be
priced. 1t should be valued because 1t
brings men and women near to ma
lures heart and their children grow up
strong and stalwart, ready to meet the
trials of life with bodies strong enough
to perform every task. The farm is
prominently the stronghold of the
home; il is the place where home ties
ars strongest and where life is at its
best.
The average farmer and his family
live better in every way, have better
food, better clothes and better social
surroundings than does the family of
the man who lives in a city on salary
of 81 900 year. The progressive farm
er of to-day lives in a style that is not
equaled by the city man who earns ST.
600 a year. The farmer of to-day has
frequent mails. an abundance of litera-
ture, good facilities for travel, and is
able to enjoy more of the comforts of
life than the man in any other calling
in life. If he looks at his farm from
this point of view he will value his farm
at its true worth, and be contented, and
contentment is better than great riches.
If farmers would remember that they
see but the outside show and glitter of
city life and could see the darker side,
very few of them would be willing to
exchange with the city man. The edu-
Gated farmer of to-day is the social peer
of any man, while money is almost the
sole criterion of social worth in the
city. AS between the two the farmer
holds every vantage point.-Farmers

is compromise in appearance between

ular. In it three sections are in sight,
there being four rows of three sections

NEAT SHIPPING CASES.
III You Put Up Your Honey I'm Attrnc.
tive Packages 1t Cam BE Sold
Readily.

In selling honey much depends on ap-
pearance. Extracted honey put up in a
neat package is more likely to meet
with ready sale than if put up in any
sort of style without any label. Es-
pecially does the matter of looks make
a difference in the sale of comb honey.
Remember that good part of the diff
ference in price between comb honey
and extracted is paid for the nicer looks
OF the former, and if you pack your
comb honey in any sort of box that
happens to be at hand it may make a
difference of two. three or four cents a
pound.
Shipping cases for honey are made
that are especially adapted to the pur-
pose. Not only are they convenient in
shape and size for packing and ship
ping, but they show off the honey to
good advantage when placed on the

quently done, merely for looks and
ventilation. A barn has no more need
of cupola than it has for chimney.
The lightning rod was much in use
quarter of a century ago, but no new
ones have been put up of late years.
The object of the rod was to ST teal away
the fluid from the clouds and transfer
1t to the earth without precipitating an
explosion. We do not know that build
ings were ever damaged by lightning
when thus protected. but for some rea-
son the rods have gone nearly out of
use. Certainly these projecting points
are made out of material that will at
tract lightning better than the rest of
the building, and if the rod is sufficient
to carry the current the building would
be much protected by them. The cupola
presents sometimes several points con-
siderably higher than the rest of the
building, but the material is of wood.
and if the bolt once reaches it the wood
is not good enough conductor to carry
the current without rending it. Be
sides. there is no direct communication
with the ground. If cupolas are to be
erected, let them be protected by light
ming rods of sufficient size to transmit;

lowing the timbers of the barn.-Troy

DR.. Davidson, the eminent bacteriolo-
gist. expresses the opinion that many
of the infectious bites attributed TO
spiders are not caused by these in
seets. Several naturalists have allowed
themselves to be bitten by the largest
poisonous spiders without serious re-
suit. It is doubtless true that, never
theless, certain people are especially
susceptible to spider bites. as they are
to bee stings. Some people have died
of collapse half an hour after the re-
ceipt of bee sting. Many of the cases
of so-called spider bites are thought
by Davidson to be caused by the pirate
bug. The bite of this insect is usually
followed by local cellulitis. with

Among the most beautiful gems of

blue, their shades varying from the
darkest velvety blue to the palest
shades of this color, which finally pass
altogether into white. White sap
phires often show blue stripes. others
appear white when viewed from above
but look blush when held sideways
against the light. Even green and yell
low tints occur. The former are known
under the name of oriental emeralds,

Freedom Not without Alloy.

The boon of emancipation from
slavery is said to be responsible for the
great increase in tubercular diseases
and insanity among the negroes of the
southern states. While they lived in
slavery the negroes were compelled TO
live sober and regular lives, but with
freedom their natural impulse to ex-
cesses asserted itself, and they plunged
without restraint into vicious and riot
Gus habits. They have consequently
developed highly nervous consumptive
and alcoholic diathesis, which makes
them easily susceptible to diseases fror
which formerly they were free.-Chi
