Toulouse Geese.

The large gray or Toulouse goose had
its origin in southern France and takes
its name from the French town of the
same name. 1t is said to have been
bred up from the old time gray goose to
meet the demand for a large goose
from which pate de foie gras is made,
the principal part of which is goose
livers potted with truffles. This goose,
taken from France to England, was
not SO well formed or colored as now.
The regular beauty of feather is the re-
suit of English breeding for feather
and form. Toulouse geese are more
prolific layers than the Embdens. Some
Of them will lay as many as forty or
fifty eggs before showing desire to sit
With US the Embden and Toulouse
are about the same size The Embden
has the longer legs and no inclination
for the rear part of the body to touch
the ground. while in the Toulouse the
rear of the body should almost if not
quite touch the ground The Toulouse
should have the dewlap; the Embden
should not have 1t. The Toulouse
should have what is called keel or
hanging down between the legs; this is
not or should not be so with the Emb-
den. Our standard is the same for both
as to body, but this is not fully proper.
for in the truly formed specimens the
body of the Embden should be shaped
more like a rocker or half moon, while
the Toulouse is full and inclined to-
ward the ground

Secretary Caldwell in the last Guern-

reason why SO many Guernsey breed
ers do not exhibit their cattle at fairs.
There are two reasons which he does
not state. Dairy cattle are much more
sensitive to change than beef cattle
To make a good impression dairy

she is in that condition to take her to

her for that season at least Then.
again. with bulls the foolish demand
of the show ring is that the animal
must be in a show condition. He must
be fat and III Il condition which is dia-
metrically opposed to his usefulness
as a breeding animal. Mr.. Wallace,
one of the leading breeders of Ayr
shires in Scotland refuses to exhibit
his cattle mt fairs. says Hoards Dairy
man.
A few years ago he wrote us that his
reasons for this action were that the
judges demanded that show animals
be fitted for exhibition in a manner
and condition which utterly untitled
them for their chosen work He could
not exhibit his animals and have them
Judged on their merits as dairy cattle
Therefore he chose not to exhibit. We
have frequently seen a Shropshire
buck so fitted for exhibition that the
owner would confess that he was
worth nothing as a breeder. While
animal judging is kept on this sense
less line owners of fine dairy cattle
will feel loath to place them on exhibit

of great advertising value

A FINE BLUE FLOWER.
A Hardy Perennial with Flower
nrh-ul. L., ro.. nnoI.na a..-o.a

A Hardy Perennial with Flowers
Three to Four Inches Across.
Stokesia syanea is a plant that has
rapidly come to the front the last two
or three years, and deservedly so. AL
though an American plant introduced
or discovered in 1766, it does not APP
pear to have been generally cultivated.
Horsford describes it as a plant of
the aster family with blue flowers an
inch or so wide," and A. Perry says,
ga sweetly pretty autumn Towering
perennial of great merit habit erect,
two feet, large, lavender blue flowers
with a reddish center, fully two inches
across"
A great deal of surprise and rejoic-
ing has been made the last two or
three years over what is described as
an early Towering form which some
want to name pr9cox in order TO indi-
cate that it is an early Towering vari-
ETY.. | have noticed, 1 believe, what
purports to be this very same thing in
plants grown last summer. few
plants Powered very early and set
seed, and the tops died down, while
the majority of the plants came into
bloom later and so continued until
late frosts completely cut them down.
These plants were all grown on high,
sandy ground and were the admiration
of all who saw them from July to hard
frost in November. A warm, sandy
soil is recommended as being best
adapted to their culture. but two years
ago l raised plants from seed which
was pricked off into trays as soon as
large enough to handle, one inch apart,
and from these trays they were plant
ed out into the open ground in very
moist, damp spot. By the latter part of
July they commenced to flower and so
continued until hard frost in Novem-
Der cut them off Never did we have
stokesia flower so freely, but admit
it would have been ruinous to have
left them on this ground for the win
ter.
The flowers are a beautiful light
lavender blue and three to four inches
across, sometimes showing faint
tinge of red. If proper precautions are
taken to insure it from standing under
water during the winter months, it is
one of the most satisfactory perennials
grown. 1t is propagated by both seed
and division.-H. Greensmith.

CURE FOR MILK FEVER.
Method of Treatment Prncticed by
Eminent French Veterinarian.

Method of Treatment Practiced by
Eminent French Veterinarian.
NJ. Emile Thierry has contributed to
the Journal dAsriculture Pratique an
account of the new treatment of milk
fever parturient apopleXy) discovered
and practiced with success by NJ.
Enusel, a veterinary surgeon at Luz
eerne The treatment consists of the
injection of pure oxygen into the ud-
der. NJ. Knusel had previously prac-
ticpd the compare lively new treatment
with iodide of potassium, administered
sometimes through the mouth and ut
other times by injection into the I'D
der; but he had found it to fail in the
most serious cases. and he reckons
that about 40 per cent of the COWS
treated with it were lost.
This insufficient success led him to
try the oxygen treatment, which he
had applied in twenty-five cases when
he wrote his memoir of the method.
Some of the COWS were in an extremely
dangerous condition, Frustrated, in
sensible and with labored respiration,
tongue Yet in thirty TO sixty minutes
after the injection they had so far re-
covered as to seek for food. Not one
of them died. From six to ten liters
of oxygen were injected, the gas being
compressed to twenty-five atmospheres
in an apparatus obtained from the firm
of Hauptner of Berlin, which contains
a valve for regulating the pressure.
After washing and disinfecting
teat, he introduced the teat probe and
slowly opened the tap to release the
oxygen. When two quarters had been
filed an assistant compressed the two
teats and by massage the gas was dis
tributed through the glandular tissues
This operation having been completed,
it was repeated with the other two
quarters, the whole work occupying
only about ten minutes. Gradually
the treated COW showed signs of re-
covery. first raising her head, next
shifting into a comfortable position,
and soon getting on to her feet.
In two instances u relapse occurred,
through the cows having been MIXED
too soon; but a fresh installation of
oxygen quickly restored them. These
were the only accidents in the twenty
two cases. NJ. Knusel believes that if
his treatment be applied soon enough
it will be successful in all cases. He
suggests as the explanation of the eff
fectiveness of oxygen that the poison
formed in the udder and passed into
the general circulation of the animal
is produced by micro organisms. which
may be anaerobic and therefore I'M
able to live in the presence of oxygen.

TESTS WITH TURKEYS.
Eject of Confinement Upon the Fer
tiIity of Eggs.

Effect of Confinement Upon the Fer
tiIity of Eggs.
One of the drawbacks to raising tur-
keys is the loss of eggs during the lay
ing season due to the turkeys going a
distance from home to make their
nests. Some nests are not found, and
often they are broken up by dogs, and
the hen after she has commenced to sit
cannot be so easily looked after as if
she were near at hand If the turkeys
could be confined during the laying
season, without an injurious effect up
on the production and fertility of the
eggs. great saving of time and loss
would result. With this in view an ex-
pertinent was conducted to show the
effect of confinement upon the produc-
ton and fertility of eggs. In this ex-
pertinent two breeds were used, Bronze
and White Holland
Two hens of each variety. all of
which were two years old, were used
The Bronze tom was one year old.
while the White Holland was three
years old Each lot was confined in
run so by 100 feet. They were given
variety of food In the morning they
were fed Il mash composed of equal
parts of wheat bran and corn meal. On
alternate nights they We're fed whole
corn and wheat. Oyster shell was be-
fore them all the time, and they were
fed ground bone and meat scrap twice
a week. Two nests thirty-siX inches
square were made in each run. They
were covered over the top to keep out
the rain, and some brush was thrown
i'll front of each nest to make them pri-
vate

Der of eggs produced The eggs were

makes for bringing vermin destroyer
within close proximity to the fowl
while roosting without the latter touch
Ing it. These devices can be brought
into use in connection with the roost-
ing poles already in position in the
henhouSe. and consequently there is
no expense for changing the roosts.
The invention is Il simple one, consist
Ing of Il single piece of wire which is
formed into a loop near one end, with
the shorter end formed into a screw to
aid in inserting it in the wooden roost
The longer end is not bent to its final
position until after the screw is in
serted in the wood when the loose end
is twisted into the location shown be-
low the roost. 1t is an easy matter to
attach small rag or piece of sponge
to the depending end with any liquid
vernieide. and the vaporizing of this
liquid will serve not only to keep the
vermin from crawling over the roosts,
but drive the lice from the bodies of
the fowls. us the odor will permeate
the feathers when the birds are on the
roosts at night The inventor of this
device is John Ii. F. Everest of Walla-

Distance to Thin Fruits.

Peaches and plums should not be
thinned before the June drop" is over,
and also the danger of depreciation by
the curculio is past. In the case of
peaches, they should never be thinned
to less than five inches apart. Six
or eight inches is recommended when
the finest quality of the fruit is de-
sired Plums should be thinned to
about two or three inches apart.
Apples should be thinned to about
the same distance apart as peaches.
Pears should be thinned about four or
five inches apart. Apples and pears
should be thinned when the fruit is
about the size of small crab apple.
The thinning is best done by the aid
of a stout stepladder, having broad
steps and platform. The trees may be
thinned on the north side in the fore
noon and on the south side in the
afternoon, so as to keep the worker in
the shade as much as possible.

The GaIax Plant and Leaves.

Some of the fine florists surround
their bouquets of violets with a border
of galax leaves. Country Gentleman
tells something about this plant, which
is comparatively unfamiliar in the
north.
Galax is commonly called colts foot,
and its habitat is from Virginia to
Georgia. The leaves, of a lovely shade
of red or bronze. are favorite Christ
mas decoration. The plant has long
been cultivated in hardy borders and
rockeries for its beautifully tinted per-
sistent leaves and its slender spikes of
milk white flowers (galax comes from
the Greek gala, milk, which blossom
in July. The plant succeeds best in a
cool, damp place. 1t is propagated by
division. In this country the leaves,
which are extensively used by the fio-
rists, are generally gathered from the
wild plants in the woods. In Europe
galax has been grown with some sue
cess under glass. and the leaves bring
a high price.

Strawberry plants.

During the first season strawberry
plants should not be allowed to bear
fruit, and as soon as the blossom
stalks are large enough to permit of it's
being done readily they should be bro
ken or cut out. Where the plants start
to form layers in large numbers early
in the season it will be advisable to
remove them. This may be done with
a hoe or with some of the cutters made
for the purpose Michigan Experiment

The garden begonias do best in a par
TALLY shaded situation; if in an exposed
position they must have a large guam
tity of water
The hydrangea as room or piazza
plant should be soaked with water
twice day while in bloom. Best re-
suits are obtained by growing the

Gardening advises that by growing
tuberoses in pots the spikes will be-
come more perfect and uniform than if
grown in the open ground.
