THE TOULOUSE GOOSE.
Very Popular in France and Eng
land But American Fanciers Seem
to Prefer the Embden.

Toulouse geese are the pride of
France. From them comes the pate
de foie gras, so much enjoyed as q
delicacy by the gormands of the
world. They gain their name from
the city of the same name in south
ern France, but like the Houdan and
other fowls of France the Toulouse
geese in their native land are cult
waited purely for market purposes.
The finish for exhibition-fine feath-
ers and increased size-has come UNI
der the handling Of the English and
American fanciers. Mr.. Lewis
Wright tells us that the goose is the
result of breeding and feeding up
the graylag and selecting the larg.
est and darkest colored specimens.
Miss Carnpain, of England, writes
as follows: ''It is 20 years since 1
started breeding geese. For years I

Live Beetle. KIN Pcu,trx.

One thing which is responsible for
the death of many turkeys is their eat
ing Of live beetles, says writer in the
Midland Farmer. If the potato beetles
are killed before eating, no harm is
done, but when swallowed alive, they
will live for number Of days, destroy
ing the lining Of the crop and bringing
on Inflammation. Chickens are not apt
to eat potato beetles, but often swal-
log cinch bugs alive, which are small
er, but about as harmful. Grasshop-
pers are so large that they are usually
torn to pieces before eating. All soft
insects may be swallowed without dan
ger to the turkey or chicken.

stoppine the little Le.k..

There must be some way of stopping
the little leaks in the family pocket
book, if farming is to be successful,
and poultry and eggs to take to town
are just the right thing to stop that
leak. IF the egg and chicken money
pays all the living expenses, money
from the sale Of other produce can be
used to great advantage somewhere
else. Poultry brings in returns all the
time, every week in the year, just as
the family need them. Many cases
might be cited where farmers wives
have paid all the living expenses Of
large families simply by the poultry
sales.-C Commercial Poultry.

POULTRY IN WINTER.


Many aocks are run through the
winter at an expense, simply because
we neglect to take proper interest
in them, and because we do not
study and learn just what is neces-
sary to make q profitable winter
flock.
To make poultry profitable during
winter, we should begin in autumn.
With poultry, it is in the same line
with any kind of stock on the farm,
good wintering depends upon the con-
dition of the stock in autumn or at
the beginning Of winter. In the first
place Gull down your flock of laying
hens, and keep none that it not liable
to make good winter layer. The
age of hens must be taken into con-
sideration. Early spring pullets, or,
say, pullets Matched from March on
until June, should make the best OF
winter layers. One-year-old hens do
fairly well at egg production in wins
ter, but it is an exception that older
hens are profitable winter layers.
This depends somewhat on the vari-
ETY., as the smaller varieties carry
egg production much longer than the
larger ones.
Perhaps we might here say that
there will be found but little differ
ence as to the number of eggs pro-
duced from any good standard vari-
ETY. of well bred and well kept hens
of either the larger or the small
breeds until they begin reaching two
years old, after which the small
varieties lead.
Laying hens, if the eggs are for
market purposes and not for hatch-
ing, are. much better without cock
erels running with Them No flock of
hens will produce near the number
of eggs if large number of cock
erels are running with them.
Fowls should be classed and kept
in separate hocks during winter, it
more than one class are kept.
Late matches should be kept by
themselves, cockerels by themselves,
and the laying flock should be given
special care in the way of housing
and feeding.-A. H. Duff, in Farmers
Voice.

HOUSE TO SECURE WINTER EGGs.
then a frame of any good stout ma
terial is made, as shown in the illus
tration. The base piece is imbed-
ded in the concrete, and the wall is
made two inches wider than the
wooden uprights, on each side of
them, and as the wall is carried up,
the uprights are inclosed in the con-
crete. The latter is made of lime
and sand, small stones, cheap, broken
bricks and pieces of hard wood. In
fact, any hard substance may be
worked into the wall. It is leyeled
up and smoothed over by the lime
and sand mixture.
At first the originator used ce-
ment in the latter mixture, but, find
ing the lime answered as well, and
cost less than one-third as much as
the cement, he abandoned the ce-
ment. When finished the walls are
smooth and white, will last life
time and harbor no vermin what
ever. In making the roof, Mr.. Geer

grooved ceiling is nailed and the
four-inch space is packed with forest
leaves or some other inexpensive ma
terial. Double windows, with stout
shutters for the night, defy the frost.
In houses of this character, Mr..
Geer's fowls mate and lay. all win
ter. February 6 he took off an in
cubator hatch of 1872 chickens from a
total installment of 225 eggs tested
down to 1879 fertile ones. He attrib-
utes the high per cent. of fertility of
his eggs in winter to the natural
warmth of his fowls in the concrete
houses, which is superior to the arti-
fetal warmth generated by furnace
or hot water pipes.s In houses of this
kind the early-hatched pullets and
the early molted hens lay all win
ter, little chickens thrive and grow,
while the incubator is unaffected by
any change of temperature outside.

How q traveller Got EGGS.

An English traveller who has visited
every nation in the world is authority
for the statement that one food is uni
versal throughout all countries.
There is not part of the world" he
says, "where you cannot get an egg. -
While in western China, however, he
at first had some difficulty in getting
even eggs. The natives could not I'M
derstand him, and refused to recog-
nize the pictures he drew of eggs.
"The way got out of the difficulty -
he adds, "was that I squatted down on
my launches, tapped my wings and
cock-a-doodle-doo'd until the entire
nation grasped what I wanted, and I
was simply provided with hundreds of
eggs"

They solve the Problem Of Exgs In
Winter and Sound, Unfrostea
Coabs In the spring.

A western poultry keeper, E. w.
Geer. of St. Francois county, No.,
has solved the problem of eggs in
winter, and sound, unfrosted combs
in the spring. He has done it in a
very simple and inexpensive way.
At the same time he has insured fer
tile eggs in midwinter, something or
dinarily very hard to obtain. He has
accomplished this by means of con-
crete poultry houses that are free
from dampness in the most rainy sea-
sons, and as warm inside in the cold
est days as cellar.
In constructing the house, an ele-
vation is thrown up foot or more
above the surface. In this elevation
the stone base for the walls is laid,

Confederate veterans, provided for at
the last reunion, has about been COM
pleted and the chairman, Zimmerman
Davis. and Secretary D. 81. Means
are sending tie following letter to
the clerk of court of each county:
Dear Sir: Please read carefully en-
closed copy Of an act, approved 25th
February, 1902, which prescribes
your duties and compensation and

crate veterans by township and

county newspapers to announce as a
news item that you have received
these township enrolment books and
urge the township enrolment COM
mittees to cell and obtain them, so
that the enrolment may commence
at once in every township and neigh
borhood. I believe also that the

cheerfolly, without charge, call at.
tention to the necessity of this enroll
ment being made at oLce, and also to
the thoroughness and exhaustiveness
Of the plan CT allowing each neigh
borhocd and township those most
interested to enroll its own veterans.

ing veterans in prosecuting this en-
rollment at once

10 the Editor OF the Dispatch:
In your issue of July 9Th, I notice
a communication from one signed
''Klondike" and from the nature of
the news items, I suppose she writer
is a resident of cur town. In report
ing the items occurring on July 4th,
he says: "Three or four young men
celebrated the fourth by putting
themselves outside of some booze
but why take
on so? They got it from our dis
pensary and on the fourth of July at
that"
As to above / wish to respectfully
state that if these charges were di-
rected to myself IS dispenser or to
the management of the dispensary at
this place, that they are false in every
particular and are without founda-
tion, as Klondike himself is fully
aware that the dispensary was closed
on that day, ard I feel that it is
nothing more than a manly and a gen.
tlemanly act in him to retract the
charges through your columns.
If the charges were not directed as
have stated above, I sincerely hope
no offence will be had at my endesvor
to get the truth, for it is ''mighty and
will prevail.
