Where Age is Looked Up To.

The parents word is always law in
Japan, and perhaps this accounts for the
sweetness and gentleness of the japanese
character. The japanese are inherently
an ohedient people. The old always take
precedence Of the young in all things.
An eager, impetuous young man, be he
ever so brilliant and clever, is not ex-
pected In japan to have the reason. the
wisdom and the foresight of an old man.
Therefore the old man comes first al
ways. As a result. there is, perhaps,
more general happiness in Japnn than
anywhere else in the world. One might
imagine that where duty is carried to the
extent it is in Japan the natural love is
not so much in EVIDENCE mean the ac-
tual affection, rather than the mere duty,
of child to it's parent. On the contrary,
the natural bond of affection between pa
rents and children is nowhere SO wonder
full as in Japan. No matter how unkind,
unjust or even wicked the parent may
be, or how dcprayed, the child invariably
clings to that parent, even though, as is
often the case, it's own nature be finer

Hiring Farm Help.

by the year. which is the better way,
he should, at least, secure it as early as
If he gets really good help, the extra
pay for a month before much out-of-
door work can be done will not lessen
his profits, for thoughtful hired man
will find much to do, even now, that
will lessen the labor required during the
months when work is hardest. Ali the
supplies of wood for the year should be
secured this month. If you wait later,
when sap begins to rise in the trees,
the wood will take longer to dry and be
less valuable, As for the extra wages
which it will cost to hire a qualified, ef-
tcient man, they will be saved over and
over during the summer A careless,
shiftless farm help, hired because he
will work for low wages, will waste and
lose during the year more than the wages

A HOrseradish Plot.

A home plot of horseradish is desirable
for every farm or garden. Eaten in
moderation it is recommended as con-
ate digestion. A plot of rich ground 3x4
feet will supply large amount of roots:
The location should be not too dry and
the ground should be very deeply spaded.
Roots can then be set-small pieces of
root four or five inches long and quar-
ter of an inch in diameter make the best
growth-at depth of two or three inch
es and eighteen inches apart. The plants
should be kept hoed and the ground free
from weeds until their leaves shade the
ground, when they will need no further
cultivation and their shade will also keep
the soil moist,

Clean the Clover Seed.

At almost every sowing season of the
year we urge our readers to be very par
ticular about the grass seed sowh. It is
especially necessary that this be pur-
chased from reliable sources and that it
be entirely free from obnoxious weed
seeds. The quality of the cloverseed,
plumpness and Weight. is only or one fac,
tor in the successful raising of the crop.
The fact that it is absolutely pure and
free from foreign seeds is the more i'm
portant one. A field may be entirely
free of weeds of every description, but
if sown haphazard with grass seed pur-
chased from unreliable sources, the field
is at once infested and in such way
that it will take many years to eradi-
cate the pests. A little diligence before

Extra Grain in Cold Weather.

February is almost always cold

ing much of the last month, it is likely
to pinch stock more severely than if
the weather had been uniformly cold.
Some extra grain should be given to all
stock on the days when the thermom-
eter runs near the zero figure. At such
times all animals have enormous appe-
tites, and more concentrated food can-
not only be fed without danger of sur
feiting, but it Ii necessary.

Planning for Spring Planting.

The days are already getting a little
longer, coming up to ten hours of sunlight
on the first of the month, and increasing
two or three minutes per day all through
February and March. The latter part of
February is the best time to SOW the
seeds in hotbeds for the hardy kinds of
plants that are to be set out in the open
ing is past. The tenderest kind of vege-
tables cannot safely be planted in hot
beds until next month. Sunshine and air
should be given the plants whenever it
is possible to do so without freezing them
SO as to avoid the danger of "damping
off," which destroys more dollhouse
plants than any other one cause.

GOOse-Raising.

Goose-raising is probably as distinct
from duck-raising and ordinary chick
en-raising as any two industries
OH the farm. l believe that Il
man should devote all of his time
to the geese, and let both chickens and
ducks alone, if he intends to make a sue
cess of the work. The winter demand
for young geese or goslings, is increasing
rapidly, especially in large cities. The
best season for marketing the young Cos
lings is just before Christmas, but the
demand continues pretty good right
through the winter.
The old-fashioned way of raising old
and young geese, tough and tender, and
good, bad and Indifferent geese, is Il very
Improbable business today. To make
any money in the industry the young Cos
lings must be raised 50 that there will be
Il succession of them for the market
from November 1 to March 1. This has
become the season for these young birds,
and the supply must i'll some way meet
the demand.
In the vicinity of large cities the young
goslings can usually be sold to dealers
who make a business Of buying up all
they can from the farmers. Usually
these dealers own large fattening pens,
and they prefer to buy the young geese
unfattened. They bring ali the way
from IS cents to $1.2o bird. These are
fair and profitable prices for unfattened
birds. The large dealers then fatten
them in special places and ship to the
markets as the demand warrants them.
AS rule. this method of selling the
products of the goose farm is better than
when the farmer tri es to find his own
market, and ships them to- the tender
mercies of unknown commission mer-
chants. BY the new process he can fig
to raise his young geese. Then, know
ing beforehand what price he can get
for them. he can tell whether it win
pay him. There Is no worry and bother
of tending to the business end, either.
Young geese can be raised very cheaply
if the farmer does not have to fatten
them. Evidently the owners of large
fattening establishments can do this
cheaper than the. individual farmer, for
they purchase their feed OH a large scale.
OF course, everything depends upon the
season and quality of the birds in regard
to the prices paid for them. Birds held
over too long may have to be sold at a
loss.-J. s. Walters in Massachusetts
