/, are busy signing the bonds recently
authorized. The issue consists of 81
bonds of the value of sS5,OOO, and the
clerk and chairman are required to

How Geese Are Fattenea

The following method of fattening
is adopted by the English goose farm
er: Geese in good condition should be
shut up in quiet place, shaded from
light, where they cannot see other
geese at liberty, and should be Kept
there from twenty to twenty-five days.
1t is beneficial to let them out for
about fifteen to thirty minutes the
first thing in the morning and again
in the evening about dusk. The meals
they get should be nutritious and
mixture of barley meal, wheat meal, a
little cornmeal and boiled potatoes
given twice day is good. About the
last ten or twelve days it is advisable
to mix little finely chopped rough fat
with the meal. This has the effect of
Pumping them up, rendering their
flesh much more pala ia BILE. A trough
of clear water should be supplied the
birds after the evening meal.

WORKS ALL THE TIME.
Western Editor Describes the Mort.
gage as an Inexorable Taskmas-
ter That Knows No Sleep,

The mortgage is self-supporting in
stitution. It always holds it's own.
1t calls for just as many dollars when
grain is cheap as when grain is dear.
1t is not affected by the drought. It.
is not drowned out by the heavy rains.
It never winter kills. Late springs
and early frosts never trouble it. Po-
tato bugs do not disturb it. Moth and
rust do not destroy it. It grows nights,
Sundays, rainy days and even holidays.
1t brings sure crop every year. and
sometimes twice a year. 1t produces
cash every time. 1t does not have to
wait for the market to advance. 1t is
not subject to speculate of the bulls
and bears on the board of trade. 1t is
a load that gals and frets and chafes
1t is a burden that the farmer cannot
shake off. It is with him morning,
noonand night. 1t eats with him at the
table. It gets under his pillow when
he sleeps. It rides upon his shoulders
during the day. 1t consumes his grain
crop. It devours his cattle. It selects
the finest horses and the latest steers.
1t lives upon the first fruit of the sea:
son. 1t stalks into the dairy where the
busy housewife tolls day after day
and month after month and takes the
incest cheese and the choicest butter.
It shares the childrens bread and robs
them of their clothes. It stoops the
toiler's back with it's remorseless bur-
den of care. 1t hardens his hands, be-
numbs his intellect, prematurely
whitens his locks and oftentimes sends
him and his aged wife over the hills to
the poorhouse. It is the memorable
and exacting taskmaster. It's whip is
as merciless and cruel as the lash of
the slave driver. It is menace to lib
erty, a hindrance to progress, curse
to the world.-Ringwood, (Okla.)
Leader.

Importance Of Good Seed

More than ever before farmers are
realizing that paying crops can only
be raised from vigorous, plump and
well preserved seed. The old idea that
any seed which would terminate will
answer was a delusion, and the cause
of many unprofita bic crops. When buy
ing seed, insist that your scotsman
guarantee it will terminate promptly,
as this will indicate seed from vigor-
Gus. healthy plants. Then, too. the
seed must be large and plump They
will have enough plant food to start
the young plant early, getting it out of
the way of late drouths and early
frosts. If you use seed produced on
your own farm discard all but the very
best, test it for vitality, and be salts
fed with nothing which has the least
indication Of lack of vigor.- American
Agriculturist.

floor of the platform to the under side,
but project two inches above, as
shown.
Under the platform is a three-foot
square or iron, heated by the lamp
placed directly under it. Thus the
heated air which comes through the
pipes and warns the chicks is not
from the lamp direct. but from the
warmed sheet iron. AS the chicks
grow larger, the pegs are driven fur
Their through the cover, making it
higher. The warm air is kept in by
the strips of cloth around the edge
of the cover. While the chicks are
young they should be kept from fly
ing off the platform by board bar
rier along the edge (not shown in the
drzwing). \ regular brooder lamp is
best. The smallest oil stoves or any
good lamp that will burn clearly with
out a top draft Will answer.
The chicks will not do so we'll in
doors after the first three weeks. No
matter if the weather is damp and
chilly. While it is cold or stormy keep
them indoors nights, bat make a good
long outside run of fine netting, or
laths with board at the bottom. Old
buildings become infested with nits of
lice and the brooder heat brings them
out in swarms along the cracks and
corners in and near the brooder Kero-
sene will soak them out. Clean the
house and keep the brooder clean.
Lice cannot live long in a clean, dry
place.
Feed fine, mixed grain in gravel and
let them scratch. Meat, green stuff
and gravel are needed from the first.
They will pick up the fine grit and
struggle over a lettuce leaf or bit of
meat almost as soon as they can stand.
Meat is half their food in state of ma
ture, and to grow fast they must have
it unless there is plenty of milk The
experiment stations find that chicks
and ducklings grow as fast again when
fed with plenty of animal food. The
growth costs only half as much per
pound as compared with all-grain diet.

When this humus is bundant the sup

been given much consideration tests
and experiments being made to de-

claimed that it is the natural store

is believed that the mineral humates
furnish large proportion of the pot

Humus serves to increase the absorb
