o'clock to pay a final tribute of respect

drowned the other day while fishing in

funeral service, the Masonic service
was conducted by members of Beth

been a member. The Rev. John o.
Haarvig, pastor of the church, oficiat-

feelingly of DR.. Emerson's connection
with the church work. Singing by q
quartet was followed by the Masonic
service. More than so members of

bier, and assisted at the impressive
service. Worshipful Brother Frank

Geese on the Farm.

There is as much difference between
raising geese and ducks as there is
between ducks and chickens. Geese
are not desirable additions to the
stock Of farm poultry, unless the con-
ditions are favorable. A flock of geese
about barnyard is a nuisance and
one that no neat farmer cares to
maintain.
Geese should be kept in a field by
themselves, as no kind of livestock
cares to eat grass which they have
run over. They are quite easy to
raise, and after they get little start
they may be turned loose to Craze
for themselves, and will get along
nicely even if not given very strict at
tention.
The farmer who has wet fields bor-
dering along a creek, where the geese
can have plenty of grass and water,
can make money out of geese, but if
they must be kept confined and fed
grain and cut grass there is more
profit in ducks or chickens and very
much less trouble.
There was time when the feathers
were valuable and quite an object,
but now it is not necessary to furnish
the girls of the family with a feather
bed and the price of feathers has fall
en- until they do not pay for. the trou-
BILE of picking them, and geese must
be kept for what they will bring in
the market when ready to sell.
This being the case, 1t is only the
exceptional farm where they can be
made as profitable as othe1' classes OF

ed and the hen thoroughly busted
with good insect powder. Or bet
ter. still, if the nest box is painted
with Miller's Vermin Killer two or
three days before the eggs are put
under the hen, the hen busted ait the
same time, and when eggs are put un-
der the hen new straw is put in for
the nest, she is started off right.
Then, if busted again the fifteenth
day and nest renewed the hen will
come off free off lice and no mites will
be found on her or about her nest.
When hen has Matched the material
usd for the nest should be burned,
and, If possible, in the box. 1t takes
just such care to prevent them from
being produced by setting hens. In
the southwest when hens are allowed
to lay continually in the same nest it
is safe to count on the place being
stocked with this pest. It's trouble
to keep them off, but not by half will
it require SO much labor as to- rid the
premises of them. Roasting fowls in
trees will not keep off mites. We have
known the whole premises infested
with them where there was no hen
house, and the hens roasted In trees.
To make them profitable mongre1s
must have as much care and attention
as clancy poultry" Tt is cruel to al
low them to be killed by vermin, or
tormented by mites. No one should
keep any kind of poultry unless they
give them the attention they need.
Neglect is what makes them unprofit-
able. We have never seen a flock of
mongrels that was properly cared for
that was not profitable. People who
find it ''too much work. to care for
poultry, or amy stock, should not
keep them. There Is nothing under
the sun that will pay better than a
we'll kept flock of poultry, either COM
mon stock or thoroughbreds, and it
takes no more time or trouble to care
for thorough breds than it does to
successfully breed mongrels.-South-

Now, as we now, mites are the most
dreaded of all vermin by poultry rails
ers of to-day. Kerosene, carbol1c
acid, sulphur, etc., etc., are the weap-
ons employed to make war on them.
Their success is so transient that, had
we to 60 through THAT old grind
again, we'd give up fancy poultry and
confine ourselves to few mOngrels,
and lett them roost in the trees all
winter, for we could not afford to
keep a man for the sole purpose of
fighting the mites two or three times
a month (some claim to go through
their buildings once week, which is
too much work to even think about,
much less be compelled to do.-Mrs.

she will never have mites. People
often tell me they have done all this
and had mites, but [ have yet to see
it done and mites appear. The sett-
ing hen, nine times out of. ten, brings
them on the place. For that reason
extra care should be used when one
is set. The old nest should be de-
stroyed. the nest box or nesting place

Cholera Among Chickens.

Every breedr who has had his flock
invaded by cholera, characterized by
many to be the worst, knows we'll of
it's terrible havoc. So a few words
about it's cause and prevention may
be worth noting. The principal
cause Of the disease is lack of care
and uncleanliness. Vermin weakens
the fowl and renders it more subject
to attack. Damp houses, dirty runs,
unclean food and foul water vessels,
all tend toward this disease which is
very contagious. Give plenty of
green food, gravel, shade, clean water
and runs; those are all preventives,
and good ones too. Symptoms of the
disease are lack of appetite, paleness
Of comb and wattles; these are usu-
ally followed by discharges and gen.
eral weakness, resulting in death. For
a cure I would recommend the fol-
lowing treatment: Quarantine the
Fowl immediatel in a dark place, and
give it light dose of caster oil
about half teaspoonful. Soak
small slice of graham bread in whisky
and then drop five drops Of camphor
upon it; give part of this about an
hour after the oil has acted, and the
balance about ten hours later. In
place of the oil you may use equal
parts Of epson salts and bolted meal,
mixed to a dough, and give tea
spoonful, followed with the. bread
mixture as prescribed. We have
found this an efficient cure. Then dis
infect your coops thoroughly with
carboaic acid or lime water or both,
if YOU wish, and put a little tannin or
copperas in the drinking water, and
little cayenne pepper in their SOFT
food. The inside bark of white oak
may be used in place of the tannin or
copperas where handy. We have tried
all these in our flock and found them
excellent, so [ send them to you, my
fellow breeders, in faith believing
they will prove efficient.-Poultry
