Difference in Dairy Herd.

Breed and feed is the cause of great
difference in the profits of a herd.
Not long ago I visited a section of
Canada where dairying is carried ON
throughout the whole year. The
average output at certain cream
cry was $50 pounds butter per cow
per year, while the yield from one
of the best herds averaged $50 pounds
per COW. The variations of values of
the different herds of Al patrons who
furnished milk to the creamery was
as follows: Nine received from SIS
to $40 per cow for IL months, 1s from
$40 to $25, seven from $25 to $50, five
from $50 to $35, one received Sal and
another $43.5o.-Dairy Superintendent

Wheat Consumed Each Year,

Few people realize how closely the
wheat crop is consumed each year. Ac-
cording to the statistician of the United
States department of agriculture, the
worlds total production of wheat in
1897 was 2,226,745,000 bushels-not
enough, by millions of bushels, to sup
ply the worlds food demand and fur
nish seed for crops of another year.
Consequently, countries of the earth
where the crop was light were visited
by want and high prices, in India the
need even touching the point of famine.

GEESE ON THE FARM.
They Have No More Business Near the
House Than Have Swine or
Other Live Stock.

Not nearly SO many geese are seen
to-day on farms as were seen several
years ago; the breeding of this noisy
fowl has greatly decreased and there
are dozens only now where perhaps
hundreds used to be. Somehow or other
an almost universal disapproval of the
goose has been brought about among
farmers wives, who usually manage
that branch of the business, and they
are not nearly so enthusiastic in out
stripping their neighbors in the num-
Der of goslings. There are several rea-
sons for the diminution of geese and
their decreased breeding on the farms:
They are, first, a very unclean, filthy,
noisy and meddlesome fowl, contain
mating stock water if given access to it,
scattering their feathers about the
premises, depositing excrement wher-
ever they most do congregate, and that
is usually around the kitchen door, or,
at all events, in the yard, and as table
fowl they are not very popular, being
excelled by the turkey, chicken and
even the duck.
But the goose has place on the
farm; it has value and may be grown
with profit, as many could testify.
Feathers will bring from 80 to 40 cents
per pound and geese on foot will bring
from five to seven cents per pound, or
from 60 cents to one dollar each. A fat
ted goose will range in weight from 10
to Is pounds, ~ pounds being about the
average. If geese can be raised about
the barn or a considerable distance
from the house, in special pasture ar
ranged for them, having water, forage
and house for winter occupancy, we
believe it will pay to raise them, though
there is more money in chickens be-
cause there is better demand for the
meat and the greatest consideration is
the egg yield.
The chicken has three distinct values;
for eggs, flesh and feathers, while the
goose possesses only the last two, feath-
ers being perhaps its most profitable
products. Geese, however, have no more
business near the house and in the yard
than have swine or cows.-Farmers'

Selecting Err. for Market.

There are number of ways of select
ing eggs to send to market. The best
of these ways is to pass each egg before
a candle held on the other side of box
or board through which hole has been
made. When we say candle of course
we recognize the fact that an actual
candle is not necessary-any kind, of a
light will do provided it be powerful
enough to send its light through the
csg, Only fresh eggs should be sent to
market, especially if private customers
are being supplied.-Farmers' Re view.
