Duck and Goose Culture.


1t requires 2S days to hatch both
geese and duck eggs. Ducks should
be kept shut up over night in laying
season, as they lay very early in the
morning. Keep them in the pen until
they have depo"ited their eggs. IL per-
mitted to have their liberty they some
times drop their eggs in the grass or
In the water. which then cannot be
found. On the other hand geese will
seek a nesting place in buildings or
around stacks Of straw. Inc early
broods of ducklings and goslings
should be Matched under hens. After
they are Matched keep them in a
Small yard in which you have placed
a coop for shelter; they do much bet
ter II this is done for ABOUT two weeks
than II allowed their liberty. See to 1t
that they have plenty of water while
eating. Feed them often. four or five
time a day, when young. Keep young
geese and ducks from pudding or
swimming in cold water. They should
not be allowed on ponds until the
down has changed, and even then it is
not necessary they should have a
pond. When Matched feed nothing for
twenty-four hours. Their first food
should consist Of bread crumbs soaked
in milk. Hard boiled eggs mixed
with cooked corn meal is excellent for
few days, after which feed any
thing they will eat. 1t is conceded by
those who have had the experience
that ducks and geese are more easily
raised than any other kind of poultry
and are quite as profitable. 1t is in
deed surprising that so many poultry
raisers are without these profitable
birds a. an addition to their business.

PETROLEUM AS A BEVERAGE.
Medical Society Of Paris Sends Out a
WARMING.

The Medical Society of Paris has
expressed the opinion that it is neces.
sary to adopt some measures against
the alarming spread of petroleum
drinking. At first it was thought that
this habit had sprung up from the in
creased taxation on alcohol imposed
by the French government, but an in
vestigation showed that this was not
the case; the habit had been preva-
lent some time previously In certain
districts and had spread with great
rapidity. The victim of the petroleum
habit does not become brutal, only
morose. Opinions differ among physi-
clans as regards the effects of petro-
leum drinking on the human system,
but all agree on the harmfulness Of
this new vice.

sarcoptIe Mango.

We find Sarcoptic mango in the FOL
lowing domesticatei animals: Horse,
sheep, goat. dog, cat and pig, This
variety dig galleries under the outer
layer of the skin and live on the cells
Of the middle layer of the skin. They
multiply in these galleries and occa-
sion a very intense Inflammation or
the skin. Because of the depth to
which the Sarcoptes burrow. Sarcop'
tic mango is exceedingly hard 10 Grad
icate. 1t would. therefore, seem for
tunate that this form of the disease
is not common to cattle. 1t is re-
bellious to all medication and very
frequently occurrences of the disease
produced by this variety OF mite are
seen In other species of animals after
treatment which has been prolonged
for months.
Concerning the transmissibility OF
the different manages to animals and
man, We find that all Sarcoptes may
live for an indefinite period upon
mans skin, but the common mango
mites and the tail mango mites die
very rapidly and occasion but slight
irritation. The horse may contract
Sarcoptic mango of the sheep. dog and
cat. The OK takes the Sarcoptes of the
horse, sheep, goat and cat. The sheep
contracts Sarcoptic mango Of the goat.
The dog takes the Sarcoptes OF man.
pig, cat. sheep and goat. The pig
contracts Sarcoptic mango OF the
goat. From this 1t will be seen that
Sarcoptic mango, unlike the common
and tail manages. is transmissible from
one species of animal to another.
Mango is never developed except by
contagion. The period of incubation
that is, the interval that lapses be-
tween the moment when the mites are
deposited upon the surface of the EoGy
and the appearance of the disease on
the skin--yaries according to the
number of mites transmitted. When
in small numbers, the first manifesto
tions of mango are sometimes seen
only at the end of four to six weeks,
while at other times the disease may
be clearly apparent at the end of is
days. Contamination takes place
either by direct contact-that is. inn
mediate, as on pasture, at the stable.

Bell Sheep as Car 10 aders.

A story comes from HALEY, Idan,.
about three ewes and q wether that
have been taught to lead sheep into
cars In which they are to be loaded
On each OF the leaders is bell. The
sheep that are to be loaded follow
one of these bell sheep into the car.
The owner goes with the leader to
keep the bell from ringing when the
car is full. and the DELL sheep is going
out. as that might cause the sheen
to fle out again. The same sheen
have been taught to lead fiocks OF
sheep through the town to the stock
yards. For these services the owners
receive small fee. ranging from 25
to 80 cents per trip.

Sweet Potatoes.

The sweet potato 10 a native of
southern Asia and was formerly con-
sidered an exclusively southern prod.

strated that it might be grown In the
North with perfect success. 1t is now
quite commonly cultivated In many
sections OF the North, although the
quality Of the product grown in the
North is not considered equal to that
grown in the South. Northern grow
ers are obliged to TAX better care Of
their sweet potato crop than are
those in the south In order to insure
success and to have the tubers mature
before the advent Of frost. The
sweet potato is 2ropagatei from either
tubers or prouts. but the latter is the
more common and better method.

Some FauIts of Cows.

Sometimes an otherwise excellent
COW is rendered partially or totally
worthless for the dairy because of a
Goodrich in Patrons Handbook This
fault cannot always detected un.
less the milk is seen - be leaking.
1t does not follow that because COW
milks easily that she will leak her
milk; far from it. Still. those that do
leak, usually milk rather easy. Some
times the milk seems to drip away
from the teats nearly as fast as 1t Is
made and the udder is always nearly
empty. This makes a COW worthless
as mixer, but can be detected any
time except when she Is dry. Other
cows do not leak until the udder Is
well distended and they lie down fore
Ing the milk out in a stream and max
ing quite a puddle of milk on the
ground or floor. Sometimes the close
observer will detect this.
Another fault that some cows have
is the habit of sucking other cows, or,
worse still, of sucking themselves. My
advice is never to buy such a COW
under any circumstances II one can
detect the fault. Such COW may
possibly be prevented from sucking
but she can never be cured of the in
clination to do so, and will surely be
a source of vexation.
II the COW you are looking at has a
ring in her nose, or has her nose
pierced for ring, don't buy her. That
was done for something. and prob.
ably in a vain attempt to prevent her
from sucking. If she has her tongue
slit 1t is for the same reason. But,
no matter, she can suck just the same,
II the hair is worn off about her
head or neck, be sure that 1t is not
caused by some toggery put there to
prevent her sucking.
