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 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
the geese have access to it at all times,
then ii 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 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 90 to % 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 n rule each
goose should average 20 goslngs in a
year. and as the average weight will be-
about ten pounds each when well fat
tened for market, 1t will be seen that
with good breed to start with, good
care, etc, raising 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
and Home.

only the bow gun, and when we got
the position desired we were within
pistol shot of the rifle pits. For a
space of ten minutes that old wooden

At every discharge of our broadside
the old craft was pushed four or five
feet towards the bottom, and as she
came up again she seemed to be shak-
ing herself to pieces. You may think it
strange that we could hear the crack
ling of musketry above the roar of all
the big guns, but such was the fact. A
gunboat called the Shamrock fol-
lowed us in, and for a few minutes
2S heavy cannon were laundering
away. The noise was heard 90 miles at
sea. The 1000 muskets made a clatter
of their own, however, and the sound
hurt the ear more than the louder
roar. The only words remember to
have heard during the half hour were
from the captain Of our gun as we ran
her in and out and changed from shot
and shell to canister. All at once the
firing ceased, and every man Of us sat
down and dug at his ears with lis fin.

whirring and buzzing, when a maya

awful shock. Our craft was lifted out
of the water and dropped back with q
smash, and it was days and days be-
fore our hearing was restored, We
lost five men killed, six or eight wound,
ed and the steamer was little better
than a pile of kindling wood. She had
been struck 10 times by shot and shell
and there was q bullet hole in every

GEESE FOR MARKET.
A Branch of the Poultry Business
Which Possesses n Number of
Special Advantages.

If there is abundant pasturage little
other food is required, as goose de-
ponds largely upon grass for susten-
ance during the summer months. Dur
ing winter there should be some in
closure or protection provided, and
the geese should be fed twice a day.
Shredded hay or silage is suitable,
giving corn at least once day or so,
If geese are fed too much grain it
will induce laying too early in the sea-
son and the eggs will probably not be
fertile. Geese seek mates in February.
Among the many varieties we think
the Embden, African and Toulouse are
most profitable. A good cross is OBJ
tanned by mating an African gander
with Embden geese. The cross secures
better layers and the color of the flesh
is improved. The green goose" as
the goose is styled when about four
months old, is in demand in the mar
kets il fattened nicely, Sometimes
young geese are sent to market at two
months old, if of good size and well
fattened. To fatten they should be

SUNSTROKE INFECTIOUS.
A Prominent English Physician Says
"siriasis" ~ n Disease, and
Catching.

If progressive science is to he abso-
lutely relied upon, people afflicted with
sunstrokc this summer must be quar-
antincd
DR.. J.. Sambon, who is considered an
authority on such matters, says thai
sunstroke is infectious and is produced
by specific germ.
DR.. Sambon's theory is that sun
stroke, as II germ disease, requires
great heat for its Development, but is
not directly caused by heat. lie main
tains that sunstroke is unknown in
many Of the hottest parts Of the
world; nor in the temperate areas is
it prevalent in the warmest years or
in the hottest season Of the year.
DR.. Sambon concludes, from careful
~ verified facts, that the geographical
distribution, the endemicity, the oc-
currcnce of epdemics, the character
Of the symptoms, the very definite
LESSONS, the liability to relapse, and
other points in the natural history OF
the disease, are strong arguments for
regarding siriasis as belonging to the
same category as yellow fever, dengue
and certain other tropical affections
universally acknowledged to depend
on specific germs-germs for whose
growth and transmission to man, and
from man to man, high atmospheric
temperature is necessary, but which,
though occurring IN, are certainly not
created by high atmospheric temper.

KEEP FENCES TIGHT.
Good Part of the Injury to Stock
from Barbs Is Due Almost
Altogether to Neglect.


One Of the most common causes OF
breachy animals on the farm is poor
fences, and we may go further and say
that good part of the injury to stock
from barbed wire fences. is due TO a
poor condition OF the fence. Thc
wires get loose and sag down, and
stock get tangled up in them and in.
jure themselves much worse than they
would If the fences were kept up prop.
erly. Low tumble down fences are IA
constant temptation to stock to
break over, and once they get started
1t will be much more difficult to re.
strain. The safest plan in all cases is
to keep the fences in good condition,
especially those around the pastures.
If the stock are to be changed con
stantly from one pasture or field to
another, provide good gates, as lay.
ing the fences part way down and
compelling the animals to jump over
what is left up is giving them the first
lessons in jumping or becoming
breachy, If an animal seems inclined
to be breachy, get rid of it as soon as
possible, as one misc hievous or breachS
animal on the farm will soon teach
the greater part of the others to be
like them. With wire fences properly
built, care being taken to have strong
corner posts well braced, it is not
much work to keep them in good con.
dition. But no matter what kind Of
fences there may be on the farm it il
good plan to go over them every few
weeks and see that they are kept ir
good rcpair.-Prarie Farmer.

There is in all clovers more or less
of principle that tends to cause slob-
boring in horses. 1t is now believed
that this principle is more largely
found in the secGs than in other parts
of the plants. It 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 nbundantly at the
first bossorning, it is more likely to
give trouble than the ordinary red
clover, which seeds very little or not
at all at the first blooming.-TroJ

THE HORSES FOOT.
ditiOn the Animal VIII soon
lie 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
a 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 lRmencss. When
it is hurt and locally intlOmed, trouble
some cruptions around the coronet
are liable to appear.
A thin hoof" is one which has a
thin wall. 1t may be perfectly shaped
in every way, but is peculiarly liab
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
~ all cases the bottom of n thin hoof
is ragged, and when the shoe is re-
moved the whole verge is seen to be
thin.
A narrow-hecled 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 good indication
OF inability for brisk or vigorous ac'
ton. A horse with highheeled foot
is subject to unsteadiness of action
and is liable to stumble and to sprains
in the coffin or pastern joints, while
n low-heelcd hoof renders the animal
a bad traveller.
A fiat foot, shaped like an oyster
usually has many rings or wrinkles
and usually requires a hollow-shaped
shoe. In many cases for want of a
