Care Of Geese.


The feeding of meat to geese has
been proved to be very profitable in
its results, as the geese so fed grow
more rapidly and are more hardy
than those kept on vegetable diet.
II geese are not permitted the use OF
pasture but are kept penned up, the
animal feed is all the more necessary.
Breeding geese should not be per.
mitted to get too fat and hence should
not be penned up If it can be avoided.
Geese that are being fattened for mar
ket must be treated in just the oppo-
site way, as it is desirable to have
their muscles become soft and tender
with the presence of fat globules.
Care in this matter will mean some
dollars in the pocket of the farmer.
1t Is the common practice to select
the market birds from the flock that
has been roaming over the farm all
the fall, no attention being paid to the
penning and fattening. AS geese that
are continually running about work
off the fat about as fast as it is put
on, it is evident that feed put into an
unpenned flock is, to considerable
extent, wasted. The second error in
this regard is not separating from
the flock those geese that are to be
sold. The geese being allowed to run
and all fed alike results in double
waste-that of fattening birds that
are to be kept for breeders and that
OF fattening geese while exercising.
Let the breeders run, and confine the
birds that are to be marketed.
Expensive houses are almost never
erected for geese, as they are not in
their houses as much as are chickens,
nor do they suffer so much from
neglect in this matter. Compared
with chickens the geese require but
small houses, and they may be rude
in construction. The most that is
sought for is protection in stormy
weather, during most of the year, and
protection in the coolest winter
weather.

Demand CHANCES.

The demand for cattle is now of a
different kind than it was a dozen
years ago. Then all the markets
wanted heavy weights in their beeves.
A few American cities began to buy
only medium weights and the heavy
weights were left for the use of other
cities and for expectation. Gradually
other buying centers began to fall into
line, and now it is becoming difficult
to sell the heavy weights even to the
foreigners, except by shaving the
price. One American city and one
English city are said to pay as much
for the heavies as they ever did, but
this even is not likely to continue.
The change from heavy weights to
light weights seems to be a general
one. Four or five years ago the de-
sirable weight had dropped to about
1000 pounds. Now it seems to have
further dropped to the neighborhood
of l,400 pounds. An animal that
weighs from 1880 to 1,45O pounds is
now the most popular. Farmers
should try to produce animals that
will be ready for the market at this
weight.

factory that gives the merchant
large percentage of bad eggs to sell
to his customers. This comes back
to the farmer in many ways but prin-
cipally in the lower price of eggs in
the summer time. Men that take
their meals in the hotels and restau-
rants are very careful about ordering
eggs in the summer time, as they too
often have very unsatisfactory expe-
riences in so doing. 1t is safe to say
that if the eggs were always fresh a
very much larger number would he
eaten during the summer months and
the prices would be correspondingly
good. The we'll conducted poultry
farm is not the establishment that
sends poor eggs to market, nor does
the farmer that has a poultry house
and obliges his hens to lay their eggs
in it furnish that kind of eggs. The
bad eggs come largely from the mows
and the scaffolds of the barns where
the hens have hidden away their
nests and sometimes lay as many as
two dozen before they are discovered.
Then the eggs are gathered and sold
to the travelling peddler, who cares
little about their freshness so long as
he can get rid of them in turn to the
man that supplies him with his mer-
!, chandise. In Denmark they have a
system of gathering eggs that pre-
vents bad eggs from getting into the
i consignments at all. We can do the
same in this country when we have
time to get down to system.

Size Of Herds Of Cattle.


Some stockmen are urging farm.
ers to cut down the size of their herds
OF cattle and thus send up the price.
We believe this is bad advice to give
IN any trade. though it Is the thing
that is being worked out in more than
one line Of business. It Is the prin.
ciple SO persistently advocated by the
trust-the restricting of supply and
the consequent forcing up of the
prices for all things. Where will this
kind of policy end?
1t may be that If the size of all the
herds of cattle in the country were
cut down one-fifth, as some advocate,
1t would increase the price Of meat,
but it would at the same time cut oil
the poorer people Of the country from
eating 1T. The same policy is being
advocated as to the growing of wheat
and other cereals. But we do not
have to fear very much the outcome
OF such an agitation. There is no
powerful combine among the growers

uniform practice desired. If it should
be attempted, the increased price OF
beef would lead hundreds of thou.

was just entering the room. Come,

following words:
my Dear Friend Cornelia: If to-
day could walk down Maiden Lane,
il to-day 1 could see you and talk to
you, should imagine myself in hea-
ven. For as to this city, l think that
in hell the name Of Paris must have
spread itself far and wide. Do you
remember our learning in those happy
days at Bethlehem of the slaughter
of Christians by Nero? Very we'll;
right here in the Paris of Marat and
Robespierre, you may hear constantly
the same brutal cry that filled the
Rome of the Caesars-"Death to the
Christians!" Famine, anarchy, MUIR
der are everywhere, and l live from
moment to moment, trembling if a
step comes near me.
any religion. Everywhere the AL
mighty is spoken of as the "soi-disant
God" The monarchy is abolished, and
yet so ignorant are the leaders of the
people, that when Brissot mentioned
the word Republic in Petion's house,
Robespierre said with a grin, "Repub-
lie! Republic! What's a republic?"
Spying, and fear, and death penetrate
into the most private houses; above
all, fear, constant fear of every one
with whom you come in contact.
II have told you the truth about our
condition, because l have. just had a
letter from my father, and he talks of
leaving his business in Claos Bergen's
care, and coming here to look after
me. You must convince him that he
could do me no good whatever, and
that he might do me much harm. Tell
him not to fear; Arenta says, not to
fear. While Minister Morris is here
I have a friend that can Go all that
can be done.
"Ask our good Domino to pray that
l may soon return to country where
God reigns. Never again do l wish
to spend one minute in place where
there is no God; for whatever they
may call that place, it's real name is
