be obtained, the gander a very long
bird, the goose remarkable for color
very wide dupe and not showing the
least tinge of brown in plumage, but q
beautiful silvery gray" Size and this
beautiful SilVery gray color free from
any discoloration are most important
features for the exhibition Toulouse
None can be more attractive than thew
when of high quality, large size and
rich color. They more than any other
goose have gained the admiration of
visitors to the showroom.
The looser plumage of the Toulouse
adds to their apparent size, while, in
fact, they are usually under the
weight of the best Embden. Records
show that at Birmingham Toulouse
ganders have weighed 80 and IS
pounds each and ranged from So to
62H pounds per pair, but the gen
eral average of the White Emblem has
been the best and most regular, and.
while the show weights of the pres
ent do not equal the above because
they have quit showing them in a fat
tened condition, the average is in
favor Of the Embden if OF the same
age.

.ary 20 maxi. profitable winter

tary TO make profitable winter
6ock.
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 il not liable
to make a 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 win
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 az to the number of eggs pro-
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, IL 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 nunber
Of eggs if a large number of cock
erels are running with them.
Fowls should be classed and kept
IN separate hocks during winter, il
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.

words Lucille Gage, 11-year-old daugh-
ter of H. I. Gage, governor of Califer-

landing and splicing of the shore end,
which is to connect the mainland with

THE TOULOUSE GOOSE.
Very Popular I'm France and Eng
land but American Fanclers Seem
to Prefer the Emblem.

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-fne feath-
ers and increased size-has come un-
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
rs follows: "It is 20 years since j
started breeding geese. For years ]

Live Beetle. XIII Poultry.

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 ia
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 swat
log cinch bugs alive, which arc 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.

How a Traveler 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 a 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 un-
derstand him, and refused to recog-
nize the pictures he drew Of eggs.
"The way I got out of the difficulty"
he adds, was that squatted down on
my hauDches, tapped my wings and
cock-a-doodle-doo'd until the entire
nation grasped what wanted, and I
was simply provided with hundreds of
eggs"

A western poultry keeper. E. w.

has solved the problem of eggs in
winter, and sound. unfrosted combs
in the spring. He has done it in .
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-
vatioR is thrown up foot or more

There mast be some way Of stopping
the little leaks in the family pocket
book, if farming is 90 be successful,
and poultry and eggs to take to town
are just the right thing to stop that
leak. II the egg and chicken money
pays all the living expenses, money
from the sale of other produes can be
used TO great advantage somewhere
else. Poultry brings in returns all the
tirss, every week in the year, just as
the family need them. Many cases
might be cited where farmers wives

then 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 limo
and sand, small stones, cheap, broken
bricks and pieces of hard wood. IN
fact, any hard substance may be
worked into the wall. 1t is leveled
up and smoothed over by the lime

his eggs in winter to the natural

houses, which is superior to the arti-
fetal warmth generated by furnace
or hot water pipes. In houses of this
