Care of Geeese.

Geese generally start laying in
March or April and need watching, as
they will cover their eggs with straw
or hay. The eggs should be picked up
before getting chilled in cold weather
and kept in a quiet and cool place and
turned every few days until ready to
set Geese eggs can be Matched under
hens. When the eggs begin to hatch
keep watch and as soon as a gosling
comes out put it in basket near the
stove, repeating this until they are all
out. 1t is best to wrap them in some
flannel or wooden cloth If left In the
nest the mother is liable to trample
them to death. When they are twenty
four hours old place them with the
mother in coop with a board floor
and feed them with some stale bread
slightly moistened with some milk OIL
water; also give water to drink. Keep
them in for two or three days, after
that they can be put out every day
when the dew is off Confine the moth
er and her brood for the first four or
five days to limited space well Gov
cred with choice and short grass, grad
ually enlarging the run as they gel
older. Feed four times daily until
they get fourteen days old. and after
that feed three times daily with corn
meal cooked and stale bread.

Corn Flour.


The high price of wheat and OF
wheat -four in Bulgaria has led the
Minister of Agriculture to suggest the
use of corn flour, mixed with wheat
flour. A Sofia journal says that com.
mittee was nominated by the Mayor
of Sofia with view to alleviating the
distress among the poorer classes. Two
kinds OF bread were submitted-one
made with three-quarters wheat fiour
and one-quarter corn flour, and the
other with half wheat flour and half
corn flour. Those who tasted the first
named bread declared it to be very
good. and the Mayor hopes by the
extended use of corn flour to furnish
the necessitous population of Sofia
with its daily bread at cheap price

has had presented to the navy gold

The Navy Department has ordered
that when the colors are raised in the

at night the band shall play "The Star
Spanglod Banner" Probably most
Americans regard 1t as their best ma
tional song. The only objection to it is
that 1t is hard to sing America" can
be sung, and would no doubt take prec-
edence over all the rest If Great Brit
ain would consent to stop using the
tune as its own national hymn. There
ere several stirring military songs, but
their Civil War origin makes them I'M
available. The Navy Department is
right. Even If most of us cannot sing
1.-The Star-Spangled Banner" the band
can play it, and we can think of the
words.
