Goose farming and goose fattening
have fallen off greatly in England.
From old accounts we read that it
was not uncommon for a man to keep
a flock of i, 900 each of which might
be expected to rear on an average
seven goslings. The focks were reg
ularly taken to Craze and water, the
same as sheep, and the man who
herded them was called a gooseherd
or gozzard. The birds were pluclic d
five times in the year, and in the au-
tumn fiocks were driven to London
or other markets. They travelled at
the rate of bout a mile an hour, and
would get over nearly ten miles a
day. When geese are to be travelled
distance in Europe, they are driven
through warm tar, and then through
sand, which boots" them for the

mail in there without unlocking the
door, and thus save time. Then, like
some other mail boxes, this one has
signal to attract the carriers atten-
tion, in case mail for him to take
away is inside. The signal projects
below the lower edge of the box, and
is adjusted when the main door is
open. 1t can be set, therefore, only
by person having a key to the box.
OF course, when the carrier stops and
opens the box he shoves the signal
up out of sight, where it remains un-
til one of the family pulls it down
again. When a carrier has nothing
to deliver and sees no signal set for
him to collect mail, he saves time
by passing right along.-N. Y. Trib-

Another tree fell to the ground over

WINDMILL SCARECROW.
1t VIII Interrupt the Work of Crows
Even Where They Have Begun
Their Depredations.

The only effectual scarecrow I ever
found is a windmill. l formerly made
them to jingle a bell as they turned,
but later found that their motion
alone is just as effective. / take two
pieces of pine two inche- square and
about two feet long. These are first
balanced on a knife-edge to get their
center of gravity. Make a side NOR
tise in each, cutting half through,
tack them together at right angles,
and we have the four arms. Bore a
hole for the axis ana insert an iron
box, or else tack a washer on each
side to prevent wear. The oats are
the sides of quart tomato cans, un-
soldered in the fire, rolled out fiat
and tackled to the arms. which have
previously been beveled by taking off
corresponding corners. Another
strip of two-inch stuff about three
feet long is required, a piece of tin
or a shingle is tackled to one end for
a vane, a hole is bored longitudinally
in the other end to receive a bolt,
which is then driven in with the
wheel upon it. After being thus
mounted the center of gravity is
found, a hole bored through the stick
at this point, and the whole mounted
upon a stout pole set in the ground,
using a bolt for a spindle to allow the
vane to turn in the wind. Such a
contrivance has never failed with me
to prevent, or to interrupt the work
of crows even where they have COM
menced their depredations.-Rural

After a desperate struggle the
farmers of Pennsylvania have won a
victory in the passage through the
state Legislature of a strong anti-oleo
bill. 1t was n hard and long bat
tie, in which the state grange and
other organizations took part. The
oleo interests were strong and well
organized, and they fought desperate
ly for their fraudulent profits. The
farmers did not have much money,
but they made a brave showing when
they organized for business. Why do
we keep on talking about organizing
and getting together?" Because that
is the only way to turn the wrongs
of the farmer into rights.-Rural

The accompanying drawing shows
one of the newer mail boxes invented
for use in the rural districts, where
the same box is employed both for
mail matter that is being delivered
to the resident and for matter de-

made rather long, so as to admit
periodicals without folding them.

SAYS THERE'S SNOW ON NOON.
Prof. w. II. Pickering Returns from
Jamaica with Results of Several
Months, Observations.

Prof. w. II. Pickering, of the
Harvard observatory, who has been
making astronomical observations in
Jamaica, West Indies, for several
months, has brought series of
photographs of the moon, which ap-
pear to establish the interesting
fact that there is snow on the moon.
TO secure the necessary details
the surface of the moon was arbi-
trarily divided into 16 parts, and
there are five pictures of each of the
16 parts. Arranged in series then
all the prominence and depressions
on the moons surface appear lighted
under five different angles of sun
light, and the astronomer NAV fol-
low any chosen object of observation
under as many conditions of light
and shade.
What the snow is can as yet be
only matter of inference. 1t is
most probably the snow of water.
1t appears that the presence of an at
mosphere on the moon is accepted
now among astronomers.

ernor General Wood, with the excep-
tion of those relating to coaling sta
tions and the recognition by Cuba Of
the right of the United States to in.
tervene. whenever it thinks it neces-
sary to protect order and property.
Some Of the delegates consider that
the granting of this latter right would
be derogatory to the self-respect of
Cuba. The delegates think they would
lose caste entirely If they were to
grant the request for coaling stations.
Some think that 1t would be better il
the United States were to insist on
this point, thus saving the position for
the delegates. One of the latter says
that certain Americans who claim to
be on the inside at Washington have
told the delegates to put on bold
front and refuse to grant all the con-
ditions, as in this case congress and
the administration will yield.

jury did it this time and de-
serves the plaudits of the whole
