The Way to Success.

First, there are personal traits of
character which underlie success in
any business and these must naturally
be possessed or else acquired before
we can look for the best results from
a mans labOrS. He must have appl1-
cation, patience, persistence and III
every sense of the word be a hustler
Be on the alert for every new idea in
your business, but do not be greedy
and attempt to swallow more than you
can digest.
Season your scientific knowledge
with lots Of common sense, and above
all run your business on sound business
principles. Be genuine Yankee, but
do not ''guess," always know your
business. Keep strict accounts and
records and study them. A good sys-
TEN of accounts is the surest guide you
can have to success in any business,
and you will find farming to be no &C
ceptiOn, though comparatively few
farmers keep them. Study your mar
kets, the particular likes and dislikes
of your customers. Learn to fill every

want and just as they wish it and new
er know more than your customers. If
you wish to make changes in any way
do it in such manner that they will
think they are the ones making the
change rather than you.
Do not begin too extensively. Re,
member every dollar you put in bust
ness is an interest bearing factor and
must be accounted for out of your
profits. Expensive or fancy buildings
are not necessity, but convenience of
labor and proper conditions are. Make
your plant cost as little as possible,
but do not sacrifice convenience or
proper conditions under any circum-
stances. Above all look after the de,
tails, for no department of the farm
needs such close attention to the many
little details or will suffer so quickly
for lack of attention as this. Careful
attention to these Titles, q love for the
work and a never failing will to sue
coed under any and every condition
will bring you success. Never depend
upon luck, but always spell it with a
p, and never expect success until you
have earned it. A. Tillinghast, at

Feeding in Yards.

Poultry in confinement must be fed
differently from those which have a
free run of grass or woodland, in
which latter they revel, hunting over
all the leaves and scratching away,
around and under old logs for their
favOrite grubs and bugs. If you have
not made it business to watch your
chicks and hens carefully you do not
realize what a large amount of grass
and green food they will eat in a day
when it is at hand and when they
have not been overfed with grain or
scraps. Fowls need coarse food or
something that gives bulk as well as
nutriment. Even though you feed the
confined birds the same identical food

Money in Goose FARMING

The breeding and growing of geese
on a large scale for market and egg
purposes could undoubtedly be made
profitable if handled in practical
manner 1t would be necessary to have
farm range with plenty of pasture and
sufficient water for the birds. 1t would
not be necessary to have small lake,
as spring water or pond water is suffi-
cient. Geese, as a rule, clio not require
much grain, as the young feed almost
entirely on pasture.
Our best gOslings are grown to about
five months of age with less than one
peck of grain each. After that age, if
good weights are desired furnish them
with grain food. The mature or breed
ing stock should be fed very lightly
during the spring and summer months,
as overwhelmed specimens are usually
entirely worthless as breeders. The
leading varieties for both market and
egg purposes are the Toulouse, Emb.
den, African, White and Brown Chi
nese. AS a general purpose goose, in
my opinion, the Toulouse leads all
other varieties; the Embdens are
about the same size As the Toulouse,
but much poorer layers. The Chinese
are smaller goose, but the best lay
ers of any variety. We have produced
large numbers of young Toulouse at
six months of age, weighing on the av-
erage of 30 to 35 lbs. per pair and Chi
neSe averaging at six months of age
when in good flesh, "a to % lbs. per
pair. TO obtain the best results in
Matching it is necessary to use common
hens to hatch and care for the young
gOslingS. After the gOslingS are eight
weeks old they may be safely turned
in the fields with the old geese. The
young gOslings after week old should
have free access to plenty of fresh
green grass, when no grain food will
be required. The young goslings are
very rapid growers and ut eight weeks
old will be over One-half grown, if
properly cared for.
Considerable revenue may be OBJ
tanned from the feathers by picking
the mature specimens some four or
five times during the spring and sum-
mer months, and early goslings may
also be picked during the latter part of
August and again in October, provided
they are not being fattened for mar
ket 1t would not be necessary to Sc
cure the best farming land for geese
raising: on the other hand geese would
thrive much better in low, marshy
land which had not been under
drained. If properly handled l see no
reason why this industry should not
prove financial success.-American
Agriculturist
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-11-01
Toulouse Geese.

The Toulouse variety does not need
very much water, except for drinking.
They are excellent forage-s, and are
especially useful to drive on the wheat
and oat stubble, as they will pick UP
grain that would otherwise be wasted,
while the geese will do we'll and the
young ones will grow like weeds
Where there is a large number it is
necessary to keep them from the fresh
pasture in the spring, as they nip the
grass closer than any animal and pull
up quite a lot by the roots, thus kill
ing it, 1t has frequently been stated
that cattle will not feed on pasturag e
that has been overrun with geese, but
the writer has had geese ten or twelve
years and has never had any bad re-
suits from geese running on the same
pasture with cattle. On waste land or
swampy ground geese can be kept for
a mere nothing, and as they bring a
good price in the markets during the
latter months of the year they will
pay we'll for what little trouble they
were when young.
Both male and female should be
very massive in proportions, with
deep, perfectly divided double breast
or more properly speaking, bellies
nearly touching the ground and ex-
tending we'll in front, also back of the
legs. In the female this double breast
gives the bird when standing at ease,
square appearance. The head and
bill are very strong, joining with a
curve, which imparts to the head a
pleasing and uniform appearance. The
throat is, or should be. somewhat de-
veloped or "dewlapped." The color Of
the bill and feet is dark orange; the
head neck, back and thighs are a dark
sha led brOWn-gray the outer edge of
each feather distinctly and boldly
laced with light, almost white, shade
of gray. The breast is of the same
color, but descending even lighter be-
tween the legs, from which to the tail
is pure white. The tail is gray, with
broad light gray or white edges. The
wing-flights are a very dark shade OF
gray.

they obtained for themselves on a
good run it would not be the same, as
they cannot select for themselves and
they would still lack the exercise 50
necessary for their health, and, there
fore, in confinement the same food
would be too much for them. This is
why successful raisers of poultry in
confinement always throw the grain
to their fowls in straw, thus COMPEL
ing them to work for t.. Exercise is
necessary for their health, but if the

would not be so many diseases to con-
front. There are people who pamper
their chickens, both old and young.
Corn is useful in the poultry business,
as lard or bacon is in the kitchen, but
not as a regular diet. If you want to
fatten poultry or warm them in cold
weather, or when a hen is poor, and ON
that account not laying and needs a
richer food, corn is excellent, but
should not be given almost exclusively,
especially when fowls are confined. 1t
is not difficult to incur a serious loss,
where a good number Of fowls are
kept, by injudicious feeding. All kinds
should have a sufficiency of food with
out being overfed. If the birds are
kept in a state of semi-StarvatiOn the
hens lay but few eggs, and those in
tended for killing become so attenu-
ated that very considerable outlay
is necessary before they can be
brought into proper condition for the
table, and will lack tenderness and
delicacy To feed too literally is
waSteful, and in the case of laying
hens decidedly Objectionable; for a
hen when it becomes very fat ceases
to produce up to the average, and is
subject to various ailments. Full
grown fowls should have just as much
as they will readily eat and no moro.
Barley. either in whole or in ground
state, is fairly economical used either
alone or in combination with other
food. Oats and oatmeal are Of espe-
cial value for fattening for the table.
pincaS of broad and VnOQta h1oS Of all
kinds may be utilized, aid scraps Of
meat chopped up rather small are of
great value in feeding fowls shut up in
small yards where they are unable to
obtain worms and insects. Potatoes

quantity of coarse bran, whom scaldeG
