Marketing Poultry.

If the poultry raised for market has
been we'll raised, it is worth all pos
sible care to dress it so it will show
up to the best advantage. Whether
the birds are drawn or not will depend
upon the demands of the market, al
though private consumers will be glad
to have this unpleasant work done for
them and to pay for it. In dressing
the carcasses be careful not to bruise
the skin, and always remove the pin
feathers before marketing the birds.
If there is a possibility of working
up a good trade among private Gus
toners, it is worth while to try some
fancy ideas, such as cutting off the
feet and tying the legs together with
clean white cord or even ribbon. Try
wrapping each carcass in a square of
clean white cloth, or even in heavy
tissue oiled paper; be sure and have
the oiled paper, SO it will not cling to
the carcass. The clean cloth is the
best, however, and you'll be surprised
to see how dainty people will take
to the idea, and to your pront.

Popular Toulouse Geese.

BY far the most popular of the va
rieties of geese Is the Toulouse. It has
been longer known than some other
useful kinds, like the African, and is
a very rapid grower and reaches a
large size, says American Cultivator.
The standard weigurs are twenty
pounds for full grown ganders and
eighteen pounds for females, but even
this weight is often exceeded. The
color is gray-in some strains a light
gray, other darker-the underparts
and fluff whites, bill and legs reddish
orange.
AS layers the Toulouse rank me
dunn, being rather less prolific than
the African, but more so than the
Emden. The seasons output is from
twenty to forty eggs per bird, geese
two or three years old laying more
than young geese.
Their disposition is quiet, and they
some other breeds and will get along
very we'll in a field without much wa
ter Breeders usually keep the geese
laying as long as possible, Matching
most of the eggs with hens.
The eggs hatch in thirty days, and
a goose of average size will cover
about fifteen. For the first few days
they are liable to be chilled, but after
the first week they are more hardy
and require little care.
The usual plan is to confne them
in small pens or yards which can be
moved to fresh grass every day, be-
cause they require considerable pas
ture Besides the grass or clover, they
are fed on a mixture of Indian meal
and shorts mixed with wafer, but
squeezed almost entirely dry before
feeding. When three or four weeks
old they should be given wide range,
but within an enclosure. When fat
tening, they are confined and fed a
mixture Of ground grains with beef
scraps, gradually increasing the pro-
portion of cornmeal and beef scraps
until the food is about 10 per cent
beef scraps and 80 per cent meal.
Toulouse geese reach a weight Of ten
pounds at ten weeks of age and as q
rule are sold more proftably at that
weight as green geese.

Legality and Corn Varieties.

An Instructor at the Illinois Agricul-
tural College recently said to a group
of farmers, relative to corn: There is
rieties grown in different localities
than there is between the different va
rieties grown in the same locality"
This is rather strong statement,
and we do not believe it can be sub
stantiated in toto, for there is certain
~ a great difference between Boone
County white and Leaning corn, even
when grown in the same township.
We judge, however, that the instruct
or was merely using little extreme
language to point relative truth. He
doubtless meant that certain allied
varieties Of corn were more affected
by locality than by varietaI difference
It has been demonstrated again and
again that locality does very greatly
affect the corn plant, much more than
some other kinds of grains grown on
the farm. This Is due doubtless to the
great changes that have taken place in
tie corn plant in the last fifty years.
SO much Is this the case that some
seed houses grow corn in certain lati-
tudes for sale only in those ATTITUDES.
One seed house some years ago pub
lished chart giving re isosthermal
lines and noting on the chart what
kinds of corn to order for each terri
tory.
The professors at the agricultural
colleges recognize this truth, but few
are as yet able to distinctly define It,
more localities than ever before, and
the mass of evidence that is being ac-
cumulated will determine many of the
questions that we are now asking.

eral years was greatly improved by
the service from another boar; while
the first boar mated with another sow
would give excellent returns. There
is more in mating than most farmers
understand, and the same results often
obtain in mating other animals. The
writer has demonstrated this more
thoroughly among poultry and has had
some surprising results.

Edible Cactus.

There are millions Of acres Of arid
land upon the globe, much of it, even
with the most persistent irrigation,
yielding but scantily, and enormous
reaches of it devoid of all growth but
the cactus, a foe to man and beast.
Luther Burbank, the wonderful Cali
fornia wizard of flowers, resolved that
he would reclaim it, not by irrigation,
though welcoming its aid, but by
means of the desert itself-the desert
and it's cactus, it's heart and its sun.
So for a period of over ten years, re-
lates a write in the Century he has
worked with the utmost persistence
and skill until at last he has developed
a cactus plant which will convert the
desert into a garden. He has made
the cactus thornless, taking from its
leaves the hard, woody substances, the
spicules, SO dangerous to animal life.
More than this, he has made it adapt
able to any climate. 1t will thrive on
the hot desert, but it will grow with
marvellous fecundity when irrigated or
when planted in a richer soil.
But this Is not all of the marvel.
He has bred this dreaded scourge of
the desert, this pariah among plants,
until it has become the producer of a
delightful, nutritious food for man and
beast-until, in his estimate, consider
ing the unused areas of the world
where it will thrive, it will afford food
for twice the people now upon the
earth

Where did our turkeys, ducks and

truth is that they were all at one time
wild birds. They have all been cap
tured, domesticated and by breeding
have been changed to the various
breeds now found in every part Of the
country.
Many fowls stand around, don't eat,

A diseased crop. The crop becomes

squeezing the crop with fingers. This
causes the water to run out of the

STRONG EVIDENCE OF MERIT.
Prominent Physicians Join With the

ommending Vinol.

Countless physicians and druggists
are now prescribing and indorsing
Vinol as the most valuable cod liver
oil preparation known to medicine,
and it is fast superseding all other
forms of cod liver oil.
A prominent physician writes: 81
am satisfied that Vinol derives its
wonderful life-giving and strength
creating power from the medicinal
curative elements found in the Gods
liver. 1t is the best strength creator
and vitalizer for old people. weak
women, children, and the GONZALES
cent that l ever saw"
Another physician writes: "I could
cite many cases where health has
been restored in a surprisingly short
time by Vinol. I should be very sor-
ry to have to do without Vinol in my
practice. 1t has no equal for hard
colds, throat and bronchial troubles"
Now when we tell you that we
have never sold in our store a remedy
of such remarkable curative and
power as Vinol, for
the weak, the sick and the aged, and
that if it fails to accomplish what we
say it will we will refund your money
without question, it will show you
our faith in the preparation.
In cases here cod liver oil, emul-

heal, strengthen and cure.

FALKENBURG is ILL.
Head Consul of the WOOdmen of the
World Not Expected to Live.

The Salt Lake Herald says: Word
was received in this city Thursday
that Head Consul F. A. Falkenburg of
the Woodmen of the World, is i'll at
Los Angeles, and the attending ply
sicians have given up all hope of his
recovery. He is we'll known in Salt
Lake and throughout the inter
mountain states.
In connection with the late General
F. A. Browning he organized the Pa
cific Jurisdiction of the Woodmen of
the World, after the Modern Wood
men had declined to take jurisdiction
over the Western states.
Several years ago Mr.. Falken-
burg's health began to fail and his
physician diagnosed his trouble as
Bright's disease. He was taken to
Los Angeles, in hope that the mild
climate of that city might give him
renewed lease of life, but the change
has done no good.
