MONEY IN RAISING GEESE.
It Is Pleasant Occupation and One
That Provides Several Sources
Of Income.

If there is abundant pasturage little

months, as geese depend almost wholly
upon grass. In winter provide an in

The green goose, as styled by the
English, is marketable at about four
months, although they are often placed
upon the market at two months If
large and well-fatted.
Young goslings should be given
warm quarters, not allowed to get
chilled, and much the same treatment
given as to ducklings, until strong
enough to follow the mother.
While plenty of drinking wafer must
be provided, and bath occasionally IS
beneficial, yet it is not essential that
ponds be prepared nor that geese

Trimming Incubator wicks.

At this season. incubator and brooder
lamps are being lighted up in all parts
of the country, and trimmed with the
scissors or sharp knife Much better
results can be had by using a small
piece of woolsn cloth p the Ugh out
and turn the wick up so the charred
portion stands above the wick-holder,
and rub that portion of the wick cross
wise with the cloth; then turn up a lit
tie more, and rub from center to each
edge. The latter method will leave the
wick slightly higher in the center, and
it will burn with a clean, oval flame.
This same cloth will do to clean the
metal parts of the burner, and will last
long while. We trim our house lamps
in the same way. and never have I'M

"Ah, Howard" and she spoke in soft.

famed his cheek. "You would stand

in the cabin.
So it was the voyage continued until
fairly within the harbor, in sight Of
the classic old city of Cairo Freddie
sulked and drank his absinthe and
whisky. Mrs. Travers purred, for every
thing was going to please the fondest
hopes of an affectionate mother or an
ambitious parent. Mr.. Lamont and
Marie had everything as they could
wish, and the wedding day was all but
set.
1t was evening when the vessel an
chored before the city. The. quarantine
regulations prohibited it from docking
until morning. The few passengers
were on deck breathing the soothing air
of the summer night and viewing the
lights of the old town far ashore. The
lovers were in the bow, seemingly alone,
but not far off sat Mrs. Travers, with
the motherly instinct of ever looking

A place where men might find retreat.
A place whose portals would not sway
However hard the foes might beat.
However they might rage and chafe;

A place of freedom and content.
So. shut the door when night is come;
Forget the world that lies without
The world of problems wearisome,
OF worries, of defeat and doubt.
Here on the hearth is cheering blaze;
Here is the coaxing inglenook,
With pipe, mayhap, incense to raise
Above the dream-inspiring book.
Bar out the world; learn to forget
The echo of it's rasping calls;
Let neither care. nor fear, nor fret
Find footspace once within your walls
Forget the babel of the street.
Forget tie rouRhness of the way.

after her own. Marie seemed to be very
much interested with the lap of the
waves against the side of the boat. for
often she would lean far over the rail
and look down, and as often her mother
would appeal to her to be careful. Mr.,
Lamont would also gently restrain her
but perhaps she was, self-willed.
r. However, she did it once too often
The boat was old, the rail in places was
rotten, and suddenly there was Shrek
and a splash, and Marie disappeared
in the murky waters. .t@ @
The anguished mother shrieked for
somebody to save her daughter.
There was great commotion on deck.
It was dark, the passengers rushed
hither and thither, while Mrs. Travers
continued her cries of "Save her! She
is drowning! Save her!"
Almost minute elapsed; it seemed
an hour, when there was another splash.
A man was seen to plunge into the
blackness below.
He has her! He is holding her up!"
shouted some one, peering over the rail.
"For Heavens sake, lower the boat"
And the boat was down with all posi-
BILE speed. The man in the water was
making heroic struggle. With one
strong arm stroke he kept both afoat,
while with the other he held the half
unconscious girls head above the sur
face.
A few seconds more. and the rescuers
reached them. Willing hands drew
them over the gunwale of the life saw
ing boat, and a shout of joy went up
from the deck of the vessel above.
AS soon as taken into the small boat
the man almost swooned, and fell bacl,
in the darkness, but Marie unexplain-
ably recovered. and with hysterica]
sobs dragged herself to where he lay
and cried in tones of joy:
Howard! Howard, you saved me!
You risked your life; you stood the
test. You are brave, you are noble. You
love me. Howard"

Meat for Egg Production,

II eggs are low, meat yields so small
a profit as to be questionable food
for egg production, but in the winter
time, when eggs are always high, it
pays well to feed it. Fatty portions of
meat should not be used, as the OBJ
ject is to furnish nitrogen or albumen.
Fat and starch are furnished in a
cheaper form by grain. The cheap por.
lions of beef, such as the neck, are
best for the fowls. An ounce day is
about the right quantity Cor winter
layers.-Prairie Farmer.

wArERwoRks PAY A REVENUE

The city of Macon which, unfor1
tuna ely, does not own her system of
wateworks but, on the contrary, buys
water from private corporation, as
do her citizens, paying a price for their
daily drink, is still inclined to the
sane 1lea of municipal Ownership
and is working to the end of establish
ing plant to be owned and controlled
by the city.
Mayor Smith is investigating Savan
nah's fine system, owned by the city,
for information
It is estimated that she Savannah
waterworks in the hands of private
corporation would pay 5 per cent. on
50, 900, 900, Notwithstanding the fact
that the entire plant and full equip
ment cost only 100000, and could
be replaced now for less
The calculation was made on this
basis in order to show what the proht
would be to private corporation, but
it must also be considered that if the
city did not own its plant it, would
nave to pay out annually consider
able sum for water for fire and other
purposes. It is stated that, not CON
sidering the water which the city uses
itself, the Savannah waterworks] pays
a revenue to the city above expenses
of per cent. on 81, 900, 900, half again
as much as the waterworks cost.
There Is hardly city in the country
having private owned waterworks
which would not gladly exchange
places with Savannah.
A rent of $50 per hydrant is not fal
above the average which such cities
have to pay, and the cost of service t(
the Individual consumer is also higher
than under municipal ownership, /
IL, on this account, becoming thor
EoughIy established policy in Amerlc'
as in Europe for the municipalities
to own their waterworks, and as ;
rule the people are not averse TO ap
plying the principle to other publi
utilities.
| Wherever private monopolles be
come Indifferent to the public veal o
disregard public obligations, the ide
of municipal ownership becomes NOR
and more popular.

SOUTHERN MILLS GET ORDERS.

1t is reported that Southern cotton
mills are making the most Of the Fall
River strike and are securing many
orders for goods that have heretofore
been supplied by Massachusetts
manufacturers. "This phase of the
situation" says the Boston Herald,
"Is as unpromising for the strikers as
it is for the operators. Less business
will mean less ability to pay good
wages. There appears to be growing
impression that the sooner matters
can be adjusted so the Fall River mills
can be put in operation, the better it
will be for all concerned"
