Goose Farming i'm England.

Goose farming and goose fattening
have fallen off greatly in England.
From old accounts we read that 1t was
not uncommon for a man to keep a
flock of one thousand, each of which
might be expected ITO rear on an aver
age seven goslings. The flocks were
regularly taken to Craze and water the
same as sheep, and the man who herd
ed them was called a gooseherd or goz-
zard. The birds were plucked five times
in the year, and in the autumn focks
were driven to London or other mar
kets. They Travelled at the rate of
about mile an hour. and would get
over nearly ten miles, day. When
geese are to be Travelled a distance in
Europe they are driven through warm
tar 'and then through sand, which
''boots" them for the journey.

Insect Enemies of Growing Wheat.

Insect Enemies of Growing Wheat.
There are many insects which feed on
and injure growing wheat, but the
greater proportion of the losses to
wheat fields chargeable to insects is
due to the attacks of less than half a
dozen species. The most destructive
of these pests is the chinch bug. The
great damage to farm crops by this in
sect is due to It's wide distribution, its
prevalence more or less every year, the
enormous multiplication in favorable
seasons, and to the fact that 1t attacks
all the cereals and most forage plants.
The next in Importance is the Hessian
fly. It is estimated that the damage
to the wheat crop by this pest is about
ten per cent of the product in the chief
wheat-growing sections of this country,
which indicates an annual los of forty
million bushels and over. Next of i'm
portance are the wheat midge and grain
plant lice. Insects of second-rate i'm
portance are the wheat-straw worms,
the wheat-bulb worm, army worm, cut
worms and various sawf1ies.-Massa

MAKING GIRLS HAPPY ON FARMS
Mrs. Meredith Tells About the Schoo
for Farm .rs' Wives In Minnesota.

Mrs. Meredith Tells About the School
for Farm .rs' Wives In Minnesota.
What the West is doing in the way
of training girls to live happy lives on
farms was very ably shown at Hunt
ington hall, Boston, recently by Mrs.
Virginia c. Meredith, preceptress of the
school of agriculture of Minnesota uni
yersity.
Mrs. Meredith has herself conducted
a successful stock farm for many years,
and she believes thoroughly in the
farm life for young people.
'.The farm home" she said, sis to
my mind the ideal home, and l am
glad to say the thought in our school
Is always to educate the girl for the
life she will have to live.
AT first we had only boys in the
school, but when these, noticing that
their sisters and sweethearts needed
to learn just what they were learn.
ing, begged us to take girls, too, we
did so, and now for four years we
have been training farmers daugh-
ters to make happy farm homes.
.Our girls study side by side with
the boys the different breeds of live
stock and the various developments
of plant life. A farmers wife needs
to know how to tell shorthorn from a
longhorn, and what season is best for
planting corn.
I'VE have been hearing in the past
much about the mans desire to get
away from the farm. The reason for
his restlessness lies in the dissatisfac-
ton of his women folk with farm life.
They needed to be taught that it was
interesting to make farm home.
"We give our girls special work
adapted to women in the home, such
as cookery, which extends through the
| three years, dairy chemistry, and plant
life. Butter-making is not drudgery
to the girl who understands the why
of it, and sewing is rapidly ceasing to
become lost art now that girls see
| that patterns are comprehensive
| things and not Chinese puzzles
The girl is taught, too, about tex
tiles, a most interesting subject from
the farmers standpoint; and she at.
tends lectures on household art in
which suitability is shown to be the
desideratum of a purchase of furniture
The application made In our school
of mechanical drawing-that of desrgn.
ing model farmhouses-will have a
| great influence ON the coming farm
home of Minnesota. When the present
generation build houses they will be
convenient ones.''

Horse for the Farmer

Draft horses of good form sell almost
according to weight, except that as
weights increase prices rise at much
greater ratio, SO that extreme weights
bring enormous prices-if only the bone
is satisfactory. Prices range from $125
to $500. with an occasional one higher
and with an increase of about 10 per
cent when matched in teams. These
prices are sometimes exceeded, and
dealers insist that prices were never so
low that span of draft horses would
not bring $500 if only they were good
enough.

was what we were taught to do when
young, and We thought it the proper
way until We saw the results of trial
made by the late DR.. e. Lewis Sturte-
want, while Director of the New York
Experiment Station at Geneva. He
planted several rows of corn, placing
the kernels in the drills just as they
grew In order on the cob, also strips in
which one had seed from eight butt ker-
nels in each row. another from eight tip
kernels in the rows, and the third eight
kernels from each row as near the mid
die of the ear as possible. We think in
every test the kernels from the tip gave
earliest ripening corn, and In more than
half also produced larger yield than
those nearer the middle of the ear In
every case the yield was at the rate Of
several bushels less per acre from those
kernels near the middle of the ear

Eve1nside of a Bot lie.

Most young people think it would be
impossible to put hens egg into a
bottle without breaking the shell. 1t
looks harder to explain than the kings
question how the apple got into the
dumping. and for this reason the secret
of the trick will please young people
who love to make their friends won
der. Like many. other curious things,
It is easy enough when you know how.
This is the way it is done: Soak
fresh egg for several days in strong
vinegar. The acid of the vinegar will
eat the lime of the shell, SO that, while
the egg looks the same, it will be soft
and capable Of compression. Select u
bottle with neck third smaller than
the egg. With little care you will
have no trouble in pressing the latter
into the bottle. Fill the bottle half
full of lime water and in a few days
you will have a hard-shelled egg in q
bottle with neck a third smaller than
the egg.
OF course you pour off the lime water
as the shell hardens. How the egg got
into the bottle will be conundrum
that few can answer.

Whole Corn siIage.

The corn for SLIDING whole should be
one Of the small aint varieties, planted
at the rate of not over twelve quarts of
seed per acre, says Hoard's Dairyman.
Put the corn in the silo when the seed
is in milk and take extra precautions
that 1t is well and solidly packed, with
out holes or empty corners. Cover with
hay as suggested. If the work Is well
done, there should result a fair quality
of silage, but as it takes more work
to handle it and less corn of the flint
varieties can be grown per acre than
the large ensilage corns whole corn
silage costs more per ton than the cut
silage. Good ensilage will not injure
the milk in any way.

NEwssoYs' TRADING cENTERs.

North of Union Square.

One of Their Principal "Exchsnges'
North of Union Square.
There are newsboy centers, as well as
news centers, in New York. The north
side of Union Square is an important
one, and there, at that hour of the af-
ternoOn at which the newspapers ar
rive from downtown, crowd of small
boys, of all the various ages and sizes
which come under that classification,
gathers daily. The Subway company
has built a high wooden fence around
Its power house there and against this
fence are number Of small square
shelves, says the New York Evening
Post. On these shelves the newspapers
are piled as fast as they are thrown out
of the delivery wagons and the boys
rush around them, each one trying to
get his stock of papers first.
The whole scene has the air of di-
minutive stock exchange. They may
not be picturesque, these small boys,
but they are unquesdonably alive. As
soon as one gets his bunch of papers
he tucks it under one arm, like half
clipped wing, and flies to waylay the
crowd of men that pours-ap from down
town along Broadway and 9th avenue
at that time of day. A certain num-
| Der, though, seem to prefer hanging
around Union Square to argue and dis
pute, in their shrill little voices and to
write derisive remarks, referring to
each others past and future, with chalk
| on the fence.
At the south side of the square, on
| pile of dirt and stones, and just be
| Meath the equestrian George Washing
toms outstretched hand, there is an
| other knot of boys grabbing papers
from the delivery wagons of one or
| two newspapers which only deliver
their papers there, and not at the up
per end of the square. The boys who
have already received their papers
scramble up on top of the pile of stones,
and, sparrow-like, perch there with
their heads on one side, looking down
on and jeering at the hustling crowd
| below.
There are other newsboy centers at
9Th avenue and 23d street, and indeed
at many other points up town, but none
so lively and exciting as the one at Un-
ion Square. Quotations of prices may
not vary much there, but trade is al
ways lively.

Red Top Hay and Pasture.
1t used to be a custom to sow red
top along with clover for meadows or
pasture land. 1t did not reach its best
condition until the clover had been cut
for two years, and even until timothy
had passed its greatest yield, but as 1t
was fit to cut for hay about the same
time as the timothy they were often
sown together. 1t would grow on low,
moist lands where the clover or timo-
thy were likely to winter kill, it made
strong, smooth turf, and the fine hay,
when cut early, was relished by all the
animals. Seedsmen tell us that the
sales of red-top seed are growing less,
and we are very sorry if it is SO. AS a
pasture grass mixture of June grass
or Kentucky blue grass (poa pretensis)
and red top (agrostis vulgaris), leaves
but little to be desired, the first being
early and the red top enduring until
the late fall. One busheI of each seed
per acre gives good results for pasture
land, though some of the clovers may
be added to improve the field the first
year or two.-Exchange.
