THE TOULOUSE GOOSE.
land But Anne rican Fanciers Seem
to Prefer the Emblem

Toulouse geese are the pride of
France. From them comes the pate
de foie gras, SO much enjoyed as a
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 I'M
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: at is 20 years since 1
started breeding geese. For years

Cow Peas in the North.

If cow peas are planted this far
north about June 1, the early varie-
ties will be right to turn hogs on the
last half of August, and will furnish
the right food at this time to finish
on new corn, and the ground may be
seeded with winter wheat afterward
without any preparation, if disk
drill be used, or rye may be seeded
for a green winter cover crop and
turned under for spring crop, espe-
cially potatoes. For beginners l
would advise: Get seed that will ma
ture in your latitude, or farther
north; drill IS pounds per acre in
rows 30 to SO inches apart, and cult
vate clean until vines interfere. A
few years. trial with cow peas will
suggest many ways to utilize them to
good advantage on every farm.-Cin-

THEIR BOTANY CORRECTED.

Slight Mistake.

"Look before you leap was al
ways my MOTTO" said a young club
man the other day, according to the
New York Tribune, "but since my
sister and I struck Gorham, N. H.,
this summer I've changed it to Don't

ed into Gorham and went for dinner
to little hotel in the main street
that looked rather homelike and at
tractive. On the long table where
we had seats stood a vase with not
one or two, but dozens of these or
chids in it. That should have aroused
our suspicion, but it didn't. Looking
around us, we saw no one who seemed
at all likely to question the state
ment. so my sister remarked to me:
"'What lovely vaseful of Haben-
ariae fimbriata!'
eyes said I, as if that was our
everyday fashion of speech.
''But the word was hardly out of
my mouth. when an old man oppo-
site us, whose coat hadn't been
brushed, apparently, since it left the
tailor's at least a dozen years before,
and whose long, unkempt beard con-
cealed what [ know now must have
been the fine chin which the novel
lists mention, said blandly:
"'Those orchids before you. nv
young friends, belong to the cycodes
variety, and not to the one you have
mentioned. If you notice more care
fully, you will see that they are
trife smaller and lighter than
Habenaria fmbriata.'
''The rest of the company regard
ed the old man as if he were their
new-found champion, my sister bot
tied her indignation at being ad-
dressed as his young friend, and we
put what face we could OH the mat
ter. But I don't take any more

Color and Nerves,

Experiments on the nervous system
show, according to foreign physi-
clan. that the red end Of the spectrum
is exciting to the nerves, while violet.
blue and green are calming. Every
sufferer from nerves knows that a
gloomy day affects him unfavorably.
while the first ray OF sunshine makes
him gay again. 1t has been suggested
that the green of vegetation, the blue
of the sky and the blue green of the
ocean may thus have powerful in
fiuence in calming the spirits. The au-
thority referred to above, however,
cautions his readers against the adop.
ton of too sweeping conclusions

ECONOMICAL MANURE SHED.

most wholly prevents any loss of the
material housed in it. 1t is also
very convenient, for the planks rum
ming lengthwise of the structure are
made to be removed in filling or load
ing by the end planks which meet them
being spiked securely to the extra
short posts, which are set opposite one
another for this purpose. The fresh
manure can thus be wheeled
out as fast as made, thrown
into one corner and then forked
to the opposite one in a

The gypsies, who devote their time
to horses and horse trading, .are ex-
perts in taking an animal that is in
poor flesh and getting him in good
condition in short time. One of
these gentlemen gives the following
as his favorite ration used for this
purpose: Mix bushel of faxseed
with like amount of barley and
corn and grind them together. These
proportions can be increased or de-
creased to meet the necessities of
any particular case. This mixture
is to be fed three times day, after
being mixed with peck of chopped
hay or straw. Commence with Civ

gradually increasing it, until he is

Good Horses Sell Well.

The demand for all the better classes
of horses is far greater than the sup

that the bicycle and electricity would
Soon displace the horse. With the re-

Live Beetles KIN 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 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.
