Housing Geese.

From the Farmers Review: There
is probably no fowl or animal on the
farm that requires as little shelter as
geese after they reach maturity. Give
them straw or something of the kind
to sit on and they appear to be COM
Portable even in the coolest weather.
An open shed of almost any descrip-
ton, that will keep out the snow, is
an ideal place for the breeding of
geese. They should never be con-
fined in close building. For the
young goslings a different place is
needed. Mine are nearly all Matched
with hens. AS fast as they get out
OF the shell | take them in a covered
basket and place them near the
kitchen stove. They are such large,
soft, clumsy things that they are
often crushed in the nest, IL not re-
moved at once. When they are all
out and well dried off, place them
in an ordinary coop with the old hen.
If it is early in the spring and the
weather is cold, it is generally best
to leave the hen with them until
they are two or three weeks old, but
later in the season, as the weather
becomes milder, discard the old hen
entirely after the goslings are three
or four days old. They are then kept
in a dry place and shut up at night
in a coop that is rain-proof. use
the ordinary A-shaped coops. They
shed the rail- well and are easily
made. GosHngs should be well shell
tered from rains until their backs are
we'll feathered out. After that your
troubles are practically over with
them. Turn them out where they can
get plenty of grass and water with
a feed of meal once day, and you
can almost see them grow. Ny ex-
perience is confined to the Toulouse
variety, and have found them very
hardy and easily raised. They are a
profitable fowl for the farmer and
should be more extensively raised.

Cow Peas and Velvet Beans.

On light soils especially COW peas
and velvet beans prove valuable as
fertilizers. They have been expert.
mented with long enough TOR people
to be certain that their use as greet
manure Is fully justified. Even where
crops of beans and peas are taken
on and the rest Of the plants turned
under, the supply of nitrogen added
to the land has proven of immense
advantage to the succeeding crop. 1t
is freely stated by experimenters that
any kind Of COW pea will furnish
enough nitrogen to the soil to fully
meet the demands of any following
crop, that is, of the next year. In
some tests recently conducted, we
notice that the increased yield Of the
corn crop following the blowing under
OF cow peas and velvet beans was over
20 per cent. When crops of velvet
beans and COW peas were gathered
and the hay was stored, the remain
der of the plant being plowed under,
the increase of corn was over 80 per
cent, of oats over 800 per cent, Of
wheat over 200 per cent, and OF sor-
ghum hay over 80 per cent. The
plants that seem to utilize most the
fertility from these legumes, especial
ly on light land, are oats and wheat,
probably for the reason that these two
plants begin to cover the ground at
once and to send down rootlets that
catch the nitrogen that may be leach.
ing out of the soil. The plants that
leave the land unoccupied for the
longest time are the ones that profit
least from the blowing under of the
previous legume crop.

sub-Earth Factories.

The farmer is not generally looked
upon as manufacturer. Yet on his
lands and under them, on the roots OF
all leguminous plants, there are at
work the microscopic creations that
labor in changing the free nitrogen
OF the air into soil nitrates that may
be used by the plants. Every nodule
on the root OF plant is an immense
factory. 1t may be smaller than a
pea, yet in II are multitudes of the lit.
tie workers. They existed from the be.
ginning Of the development of legum-
inosae on the earth; but man has
only recently discovered them. Be-
fore he understood that they were the
friends Of man, he regarded these
factories as symptoms of plant dis.
eases, and various remedies were in
vented for the cure of the said dis.
eases. But later such efforts were
found to be misapplied, and 1t was
recognized that these same tubercles
were part Of the machinery of Mother
Nature, by which she kept the soil
supplied with the so-readily soluble
forms OF nitrogen, which alone can
be taken up by the roots of plants.
In the woods and on the prairies there
are numerous forms of leguminosae,
which help to keep up the balance re-
quired. There are the wild peas. the
beggar weeds, the vetches and their
relatives. On all of their roots are
the little nitrogen factories crowded
with workers. Man is able to assist
these laborers and make it possible
for them to increase their product.
This is manufacture in which there
is not danger Of over production.

In-Breedinq of Poultry.

In time our experiment stations will
doubtless take up the question of in
breeding and conduct series of expert
ments to determine just what its eff
fects are on birds. 1t is not necessar-
lily fact that what is true of one kind
of animal life is true OF every other
kind, though it may be so. 1t is
probably safest not to do much in
breeding. But on the other hand, there
are large breeders that claim that in
breeding does not result in the de
,erioration of the flock, If care is taken
in selecting the most vigorous breed
srs. One man claims that he actually
inbred for vigor and increased the
vigor of his flock in that way. In
breeding is generally reputed to affect
the vigor of flock first of all. II any
of our readers have tried experiments
along this line we would like to hear
from them.

The day was when men Of prominence
hesitated TO give their testimonials to pro-
prietary medicines for publication. This
remains true to-day OF most proprietary
medicines. But Peruna has become so
justly famous, its merits are known to so
many people Of high and low stations, that
no one hesitates to see his name in print
recommending Peruna.
The highest men in our nation have
given Peruna a strong endorsement. Men,
representing all classes and stations are
equally represented.
