ON THE RACE TRACK
A. Memphis.

Memphis, March 3O.--The bookmakers
we're hard hit at Montgomery park to-
day when five favorites, and Spencerian,
the second choice in the Montgomery
handicap consolation and the strongest
played horse in the race, landed first
money. Ideal weather conditions and
fair card which included a jumping event
drew large crowd to the track. A warm
sun had dried out the sloppy track of

Bennett entry, Little Scout and Kings

the barrier and set hot pace until the
turn into the stretch when Spencerian,
who had been running well in hand at
her flank, colared the leader and won

enough to do without heat at night.
The greatest advantages are having
your chicks free from lice, and hav-
ing an entire brood of one or. two
hundred entirely under your control.
Value of Bones for Feeding Poultry.
A great many people who are
raisin" "oultry, either for profit or
home consumption, appear to have
overlooked the great feeding value
of bones, either green or dry. No
matter whether the fowls are confined
or not, they are sure to be benefited
with moderate quantity, say three
ounces per hen week, and especially
in winter and at moulting time;
those in confinement will need them
most. Every family of any size has
refuse bones from the kitchen which,
if given to the poultry, would afford
them quite a treat from time to
time, and when this is not the case,
or when the supply has run short,
enough can be procured from the
nearest butcher at small cost, gen
orally half a cent per pound; and
many butchers are glad to give them
away to get rid of them. They can
be crushed by taking a large stone
and heavy hammer. This mode will
do all right for a small flock, but for
large focks you can buy a bone mill
for the purpose for about 81 which
will pay for itself, and several times
over, during the season. You will
never have soft shell eggs if you
feed green bone, and the fertility of
your eggs will increase.

dition to this the winds on such high
grounds will dry the wool of the ami
mails quicker. Careful attention
should be given to the nature of the
weeds and bushes in the grazing field.
By filing their wool with burrs and
prickers the animals mat the fleece
badly and prepare good places for
dirt and filth to lodge. If the wool
gets tied up with burrs in this way
something should be done to get them
out, even though each individual ami
NAL must be caught and the wool
combed out more or less. The nour-
ishing quality of the food also affects
the condition of the wool, and it goes
without saying that this should be Of
the best. A little study of the ques
ton might enable one to improve the
quality of the fleece, and in this way
enhance the profits of the animals.

The Exit of the Belgian Hare.

The Belgian Hare News, a journal
seven months old devoted to the in
terests of the Belgian hare, thus sings
a requiem over a departing fad:
"Raising hares for fun, or for the
glory of it, or for the true fancier
interests in it, is a very laudable
thing for those to do who are so fixed
financially as not to need a money re-
turn from the breeding, but the ma
jority of people who keep hares want
and need to make some money out
of it, or they must toss the whole
thing overheard, as SO many have al
ready done, sad to say.
"The rush demand for breeders
must necessarily in due time, as it
has now, run its course, and the ,regu-
lar steady demand for breeding hares
at any price at all above meat price
must necessarily be limited, the same
as in the chicken business. Hence it
follows that the bulk of hares grown
must find their way to the dinner
table, or it will soon be all up with
the profession of growing hares.
We discountenanced the growing
of the Belgian hare from the begin
ming, by refusing Belgian hare adver-

Growing Good Wool.

Messrs. Editors The condition
of the sleeps wool at shear
ing time determines very often
the prices offered. When sheep
come up to the season for clipping
with wool that lays in long silken
masses on their backs, clean, health
full and attractive, it is a delight to
feel it, and usually buyers are willing
to accept it at trife advance over
poor, coarse, dirty and matted wool.
Some sheep have wool in such
good condition that it seems as if
they were naturally clean and par
ticular animals, taking as much care
of their dress as a human being. This
has been attributed to the breed of
the sheep and to the feeding, but
probably not sufficient attention has
been Eaid to the natural surround
ings and conditions of the animals.
The sheep are a good deal like dairy
cows. If you clean and brush off the
latter and give them clean, healthful
places to sleep in, they appear to
show a natural inclination to keep
their bodies clean. They are actual
ly educated up to cleanliness.
Sheep can likewise be bred and
educated to keep their wool in good
condition. Bad weather will, of
course, mat the wool, filling it with
dirt and mud, and some sheep seem
to inherit a tendency to wallow in
every mud-hole. In fact, it is a no
ticeable fact that the common, poor
bred sheep get dirtier than the fancy
bred animals, and their wool always
presents dirtier appearance. In
the long-wooled sheep the tendency
to get matted wool is very pro-
nounced, but this is due simply to the
fact that dirt and filth find better
lodgment in such masses of hair.
The sheep should so far as possible
be kept away from damp, marshy
ground, and they should be given
clean, dry sheds at night or when the
weather is stormy. The sheds should
not be located in low, hollow places,
but, if possible, on high eminences,
where water will not collect. In ad-

Hens are funny things: They will
always run the wrong way when try
ing to escape danger. She will creep
under the barn floor or under the
pig pen to "hide her nest" and then
cackle loud enough to arouse the
neighborhood. She will take up with
almost any sort of rooster, and she
will run to him when he does little
scratching, and calls for her; yet
she knows from long experience that
by the time she gets there he will
gobble up everything in sight, and
strut about in a lordly manner. And
then try to stop an old "scrub" from
setting-you may take the box away
and she will set on the ground. She
doesn't care whether she has eggs
under her or not: potatoes, bolts or
an old nest egg gourd will satisfy
her. But the old hen is all right,
she is creating quite a stir amongst
all classes of people, and without
her product there would be no egg
nog or Christmas cake.

Much of the protein necessary for
the dairy ration can be grown on the
farm in the share of alfalfa, clover,
soy beans, COW peas, etc., and thus
do away with a portion of the cost
of expensive feed such as cottonseed
meal, linseed meal, gluten, bran, etc.
These feeds cannot fully be sup
planted by homegrown protein feed,
but the quantity necessary to use
can greatly be reduced. 1t is time
now to look into this matter and
prepare for these crops.

that it was not merely a fad, but

and increase their incomes at very
little cost. Nearly every farmer has
some outlying land near his build
;nns which could be utilized to good
advantage by devoting it to goose
culture.
Profits i'm Raising Geese.
The only time you have to feed
opv Grain is in winter, and then very
little is required to keep them in
GOOD breeding condition. Feed lit
tle oats. cut clover hay, fodder, oy-
ster shells, and plenty of water and
q little corn at night on very cold
davs, and your geese will be in the
hest of condition when the breeding
season opens.
The price of geese is about sixteen
cents per Eound, and from that on to
twenty cents, according to quality.
Those that are known as Mongrel
geese demanded the higher price. The
Mongrel geese are the result of cross
inc the wild Canada goose with the
African. This produces a fine. large
and highly-favored table fowl, and
this variety of geese brings the high
est price when properly raised and
nicely presented for table.
Raising the Goslins.
Geese will lay from fifteen to
thirty eggs in a season. 1t is always
better to allow the goose to hatch
her own eggs. When there are more
eggs than she can we'll cover, they
can be atched under chicken hens,
setting the hens the same time the
goose is set and turning over the
goslings to the goose as soon as
hatched and let her care for them,
as they will do no good with hen
for a mother.
Boiled rice and hominy are good
feed for young goslings. But never
feed them whole corn of any kind.
The food should all be mixed or
mash food, not wet, but crumbly, with
lots of vegetables boiled and mixed
with it. Also provide plenty of graz
ing on grass or clover, but not in
your corn field. If they have plenty
of grazing they will require little or
no attention after the first few weeks
care
Fattening for Market.
When fattening time comes the
young geese that are intended for
market should be confined in very
close quarters, with good shelter, and
fed literally on fattening foods of
all kinds. A good diet to start them
with is oat meal mixed with water or
milk; after this some barley meal or
buckwheat meal may be added to the
oats. Small Irish potatoes, or any
thing in the vegetable line, can be
boiled and fed All these mash foods
should be fed warm, but not hot.
And only feed enough to fill them.
leaving none in the vessels.

was toying with her spoon and
occasionally tapping gently with
it on the side of her plate. A
well-dressed young man seated at
a table some distance away was
going through a similar perform

Manhattan informed his friend
that the young couple were carry
