RAISING GEESE.

Geese and ducks are more hardy
than the hens and turkeys. After the
goslings are two weeks old they re-
quire but little mothering. With
geese, as with turkeys, we would hatch
most of the eggs under the hens, let
ting them have but few each to take
care of, and leaving a fair clutch for
the old goo3e. If she is past three
years old she will lay more eggs than
she can cover, if they are taken from
the nest each day. We have seen
flock of thirty-six goslings raised from
one pair of geese in this way. They
want about one-half their ration as
green food, grass, turnip and beet
leaves, and roots boiled tender and
mashed for them, not too watery. but
not thickened with grain, makes an ac-
ceptable and wholesome food for them.
When first Matched cracked corn scald-
ed or partly boiled is a good feed for
them, but TOO much grain causes leg
weakness The Toulouse geese are
said to attain the heaviest weights,
the gander often weighing twenty-five
pounds and the goose nearly as much.
The goose is reported as living until
more than fifty years old, and prolific
of eggs up to forty years. Next to the
Toulouse geese are the Embden, and
those who keep them say their gos-
lings will mature and fit for market
earlier than will the Toulouse.-The
Cutivator.

Electricity and Currents.

Are electricity and electric currents
necessary concepts? In the modern
theory they are not necessary and
both are misleading. The word "cur-
rent must remain, but it is too late
now to change it. The word ''elec-
tricity" can be thrown overheard at
once; it is worse than Useless. Fara-
day and the mathematicians of his
time had difficulties in understanding
each other Faraday in his minds eye
saw lines of force traversing all space
where the mathematicians saw centres
of force acting at distance. Faraday
saw a medium where they saw moth
ing but distance. Faraday sought the
seat of the phenomena in real actions
going on in the medium; they were
satisfied that they had found it in the
power of action at distance. Fara-
day conceived the space surrounding
the magnet of wire carrying an electric
current to be full of lines of force-a
conceptiin upon which all his work Of
electrical dynamics is founded. Thus
he was able to make his great discov-
cry of magnetic electric induction.
Given that electricity was flowing
through wire, it provoked magne-
tism in q neignboring iron body. What
was the converse? By sheer expert
menting he arrived at the notion of
cutting the lines of force in space by
wire. This cutting of the invisible
magnetic lines is the essential act nee.

erected, lasts for number of years
and does service for successive sea-
sons. The quality Of the shelter is as
important as the quality of the feed.
A pig fed occasionally on mass OF
bulky proyender containing but little
nutrition, certainly is not expected to
do as we'll as one that receives plen-
tiful supply of all that is needed to
promote growth, health and condition,
and neither should it be expected that
a shelter which allows the cold to ent-
or, or the water to leak in, can proper
ly protect the animal against the rig
ors of winter and the moisture of
early spring. Good, warm, dry quart
ers lessen the quantity Of food re-
quired for bodily heat, and should any
surplus food above that required for
warmth be fed it will be converted by
the animal into healthy growth, and
add so much actual value to itself, but
if the shelter is such that the animal
is compelled to depend upon the food
for heat the food so fed is loss and
an expense. Nor is it in the winter
only that shelter should be provided.
All seasons have their disadvantages
in that respect. Warmth in winter
and sufficient ventilation in summer
should be allowed In fact, the COM
fort of the animals should be consid-
cred. In feeding an animal the OBJ
ject is profit, and every advantage
must be taken if the profit is to be in

of spices would indicate Fulton street.
In the neighborhood of the East River;
but if tea and coffee predominated the
chances would be strongly in favor OF
Front, Pearl, or Water street. A
saccharine quality in the air would
suggest the sugar and molasses neigh
borhood Of William, Wall, or Front

once on Leonard or Chambers, or pos
sibly Grand street, while strong odos
of SOAP would fet me know that Pearl

out that / had wound up somewhere

Pocket TypeWriters.

The pocket typewriter is the very
latest device to lessen the task of
newspaper men, detectives, and any
and all persons who need to take
notes on any subject when the use OF
pencil and paper would be an incon-
venience. The invention makes it pos
sible for one to take down a CONVEX
sation, a speech, or any remarks that
he may choose to record, withouteveh>
removing his hands from his pockets.
The ffeeattti7e Of this unique little
word-recorder is it's simplicity. It's
casing is of hard rubber, its interior
of aluminium. The dimensions Of the
casing are four by three.
In the casing are two little spools,
that hold rolls Of tape quite similar
to the white paper in the ordinary
ticker. BY merely pressing four keys
on one side Of the casing, and by the
manipulation of a space key and a
number-indicator, anything that the
human tongue can utter can be put
down in symbols.
The inventor asserts that anyone
can master the manipulation Of the
machine within two hours time, and
can within a week become an expert in
taking down anything, from speeches
to market eports.-Tit-Bits.

STARTING IN BUSINESS.

Should these lines be read by any
one who contemplates engaging in the
poultry business, but who has no prac-
tical experience along that line, let
me offer a bit of advice. 1t is this:
Do not be in hurry to purchase a
poultry plant. Perhaps the story OF
one mans experience in this direction
may appropriately be told here. He
was a commercial traveller, whose
extended route permitted him to visit
his home only once month. His sew
e1al visits to poultry plants where the
the business is carried on on a large
scale convinced him that there was
money in it, and during the year
which followed he spent much time
formulating plans for entering the
poultry business as breeder of mar
ket and fancy fowls, which seemed to
answer all the requirements he had
decided his farm must possess. The
purchase of the property was made,
the man resigned his place, and moved
his family from his city home to the
farm. Modern poultry houses and
yards were erected and a large num-
Der of fowls were purchased.
1t was then that his troubles began.
AS he knew practically nothing of the
feeding and care of poultry, disease
entered the flock, and one misfortune
followed another in quick succession,
until not more than half his fowls re-
NAMED. He found the greatest diff
Guilty in securing the services of COM
petent help. The yield of farm pro-
duce was small. To make long
story short the man disposed of his
farm at loss and resumed his posi-
ton on the road, with some radically
changed ideas regarding farming and
poultry raising.
The moral am attempting to point
is that it is much wiser for the person
who contemplates engaging in the
poultry business to lease for a year
the quarters which suit him and start
in business in a small way. Every
trade has to be learned, and it will not
do to attend too expensive school

Water Before Meals.

While the general opinion of those
supposed to be authorities on this
matter has been that the habit of
drinking water at meals is deleter-
icus one, it is now stated, according
to recent Investigations that little
water, if not too cold, is beneficial, as
It assists in the digestion of food. A
too copious supply of water dilutes
the gastric Juice, aad if too cold lowers
the temperature of the stomach below
normal, thas impairing digestion. If.
however, water is taken in limited
quantities the peptones formed by the
action Of gastric juice on food will be
washed aside, thereby facilitating ab-
sorption. By this means the undigest-
ed food is laid bare and is more sus-
ceptible to further action Of the gas
trio juice During the period of rest
phlegm, being very tenacious. prevents
the free flow of gastric juice for some
time, hence delays digestion. A drink
of water before meals is recommend
ed. because it loosens and washes
away this deposit of mucus, thereby
permitting the gastric juice to attack
the food as it enters the stomach

German Children Walk.

(From Charles Geroulds "Child Life IN
Germany" in February st. Nlcholas.)
III were asked what is the fayorlte
amusement of German children,
should answer, taking long walks into
the country. The love of nature seems
to be born with most Of them. Be
sides, they are sturdy young folks, and
are perfectly willing to put up with in
ccnveniences. For these reasons they
are just the people to enjoy walking
in the country, and the practice begun
in childhood is kept up during life.
When the children go on these long
walks, they often carry what we should
call a botanical box (that is, tin box
about a foot and a half long, with
rounded edges, and lid on hinges),
slung over the shoulder by a strap.

GoGod Idea.

Here is an idea for the farmers OF
this state: Out in the state Of Wash
ington the farmers Of Walla Walla
county are paving the roads with
straw. When the fall rains came in
that county the roads were impossible,
and something had to be done about it,
or the farmers must stay at home and
wait for dry weather to get to town.
Finally bright fellow thought of cov-
ering the roads with straw. 1t was
done last year and proved a success.
This year it was tried on more exten-
sive scale. The farmers of the coun-
ty all turned out and the roads were
covered with straw to the depth OF a
foot or more. Three hundred miles
were covered and the farmers on the
line of the straw-paved roads will have
easy travelling, while their less fortun'
ate neighbors are going hub deep in
the mud.

ECONOMY OF SHELTER.

BY actual experiment it has been
demonstrated that the saving of food
by means of good shelter is equal to
the cost of the shelter in short time.
Pigs, when provided with good shelter
and warm quarters (by experiment
made), fattened on much less food than
was required to simply keep the un-
protected animals alive. The compari-
son is an important one. In the first
place, the animals not properly pro-
vided with suitable accommodations,
not gaining in weight at all, really de-
stroyed or wasted all that had been
provided thor,. for the food was con-
verted into heat, in order to give the
animals protection that should have
been furnished with boards and shing-
les In the che sense it might be ask
ed whether feeding an animal on the
products Of the farm, which require
labor in order to be produced, is cheap
er than the shelter which, when once

A Worthx Cause.

Sentiment is stronger that good
loads are certainly as worthy a cause
us good harbors. Part of the traffic
all that is produced-has to pass over
he roads. Harbors are necessary and
Of benefit to the country. Good roads
will benefit the whole country more
Immediately. The benefit Of it will
oe direct, something tangible. While
providing better facilities for the ex-
ports and import Of materials, why not
add to the welfare Of the farmer, the
small owners, by inaugurating sys-
tenn of good roads. Such a policy, by
bringing the producer closer to the
market, enhances the value not only
IF produce, but of the farms on which
t is produced. 1t will add to the
wealth of the country.

Thew Mourn in Red,

In the dark part Of the middle ages
red and not black was the favorite
mourning color throughout Europe.
Even down to the end of the fifteenth
century the change from blood red to
black was not complete, though black
cloaks were worn over red clothing.
Ir Abyssinia the mourning color is a
reddish brown. In Turkey it is violet,
co:or closely allied to red. 1t is a
curious fact that among the Maori3
of New Zealand red is the rue Of sor.
row. In earlier times mourners
daubed their bodies with red juices
when they followed chief to his
grave, and even the resting PLACES Of
the bodies were also colored red

A SERIOUS QUESTION.


What makes people laugh2 IT'S a
mystery great;
To solve it we struggle in vain.
We tell of the apples that small Johnny
ate
And sing of his subsequent pain.
They describe his demise in a jocular
way,
With phrases both flippant and pat,
And yet think it over and tell me, I
pray,
Is there anything funny in that?
When Bridget, a lass who is honest
and kind,
And willing and anxious to learn,
Endeavors to kindle the fire, but to
find
That the fuel refuses to burn;
We laugh with a merriment softly Sc
rene
When the house in ruin lies fiat,
And she's blown to the clouds, cause
she tried kerosene,
Is there anything funny in that?
