Nests For Geese.

The goose seldom lays more eggs
than she can cover. She rarely or
never lays a second clutch, and for
this reason it is necessary to use extra
care With the first eggs, in order to
increase the broods. The nest is u.s.
ually thoroughly dry, and the female
sits for a long time, thus making it
warm throughout. Sometimes the male
bird is left in charge. When this is
the case. the birds will manage their
W affairs, unless the weather is ex-
tremely cold. Duck and turkeys are
more easily controlled, and lay larger
clutches, the young birds, quite fire.

Renewing Old Pastures.

If the old pasture lands are to con-
tinue their past prOductiveness it is
necessary to observe some means of
recruiting tile crop as we'll as avoid
ing Oyergrazing while it is at its best.
There arc doubtless thousands of pas
ture fields that are not available for
any other purpose than grazing. III
many cases they have been stocked SC
heavily and the sod has been allowed
to get into such q bound condition that
the productiveness of the field has
been vastly reduced. The problem
that confronts the farmer is to devise
some means by which the usefulness
of these pastures may be increased.
\ disking Or thorough narrowing will
do much to stimulate to 4 greater
growth. Many Of the roots may have
become SO stagnated, 50 to speak, that
further development seems to he en-
tirely out of the question. Dragging
an;l breaking up the surface tension
will reduce the "sod-bOund' condition
by cutting up a portion Of the roots,
which later decompose and become
plant food for succeeding crops. In
short. Il thinning process takes place
that is highly advantageous to the
condition Of the pasture.
Such q JiskinG OF narrowing will be
productive of better results, according
to many of our best authorities on the
subject, even though nothing else is
done. 1t is advisable, however, to so
further than a mere disking and SOW a
new supply of grass seed. This should
be q mixture composed largely of blue
grass or other grasses that have been
found to be we'll adapted to the local
ity. Such attention to the pasture is
sure to be productive of excellent re-
turns. with the result that it is only
a matter of time when the we'll kept
pasture will have become one Of tie
most valuable fields OF the farm.-

the hen ought to take higher rank

A Patient YO ing Man.

Bishop Ellison Capers, in All address
at Columbus, S. c., praised the virtue
of patience. "We may have indus
try" he said, "sobriety, ambition-all
the virtues that make for success; and
yet. without patience, we will accom-
plish nothing. A young man was over
heard on a street corner, the other
night, reproaching a young girl. That
young man was patient. He had so
highly developed this excellent quality
that I shall not be surprised some day
to see him a millionaire, a college
president. or even a bishop. The young
man said, as the young girl drew near
him, on the corner:
"What a time you lave kept me
waiting!'
The girl tossed her head.

Patching Fowls Quickly.

Shut the fowls up in Il darkencd

to see to cat. and feed OH cornmea1,

which may be mixed in equal proper
tons and scalded. Feed as often dur
ing the daE as thcy will eat up the
food clean. In other words, stuff
them. Take a light and feed again Just
before you go to bed, and as early in
the morning as possible. Supply them
with grit and water. and keep the
premises clean. Half a dozen fowls
together will fatten more quickly than
a larger number. If you could pen
them off, six n & pen, you will get best
results. Cooked potatoes. rice, corn

may also be fed. Give no green stuff

ly every one. In the absence of a cork
screw the blades are inserted into the
mouth of the bottle between the cork
and the inner surface of the bottles
neck. The two blades occupy opposite
positions, and then by giving each mt
a twist the cork can generally be lifted
out. This method is probably not more
popular. for the reason that it some
times results disastrously to the knives,
for in the hands of In awkward person
it is an easy thing to break them.
A recent inventor has, however, util-
lied this principal for a cork extraction,
which is shown in the accompanying

knife blades. 1t is said that it is only
necessary to thrust these points be-

then to withdraw them again and the

Care Of the Horse,

The farmer should remember that
the stomach OF the horse is small and
hence should be careful to see that
bis animals have frequent drinks Of
good. pure water during The day. This
is especially NcHdful during the SUM

1t is 70 easier for tie horse to go from
morning until noon Or night than it
is for a man. but We find many care
less farmers compelling them to. 1t
is not humane treatment and the horse
is too faithful a servant to be denied
such a small favor.

Glover as Il Fertilizer.

In a bulletin from the Central EX-
pertinent farm, Ottawa, Canada. may
be found a discussion of the profitable
ness of growing and turning of clover
crops. Extensive experiments in this
line have been carried on at that farm
for Il period of over eight years, and
the results gathered therefrom con-
tain 4 considerable amount of prac-
teal information and data. The adj
vantages derived from blowing under
clover are briefly stated by the station
as follows:
!. There is an enrichment, of the
soil by the addition Of nitrogen OBJ
tanned from the atmosphere.
.. There is IN increase in the store
of available mineral plant food. phos-
phoric acid. potash and lime, in the
surface of the soil taken by the clover
in part from depths not reached by
the shallower root systems OF other
farm crops.
3. There is a large addition of hu-
mus, whereby the soil is made more
retentive Of moisture, warmer and bet
ter aerated, conditions favorable to
vigorous crop growth. Humus also
furnishes the material best adapted
for the development of these forms Of
germ life that act SO beneficially in
the soil.
4. AS an agent for deepening and
mellowing soils, no crop gives such sat
isfaction in results as clover.
5. Glover serves n useful purpose
as a catch crop during the autumn
months, when the ground would be
otherwise bare, retaining fertilizing
material brought down by the rain,
and also that formed in the soil dur
ing the summer months, much of
which would otherwise be lost through
the teaching action of rains.
6. AS shown ~conclusively by the par
| ticulars obtained by careful expert
ments over a number of years with
the more important fam crops, the
blowing unde: cf the green clover has
a most marked effect in increasing the
soils productiyeness.

BLOW TO RIVER TRAFFIC
DUBUQUE PEssIMIsTIo AS TO EFF
Feet OF NEW REGULATIONS OF
STEAMBOAT INSPECTION SER
VICE.

Dubuque, Iowa, March 3O.-Imprac-
ticable rules formulated by the federal
steamboat inspection service and ap-
piled to boats on the Mississippi and
It's branches, resulting from the Slocum
horror in New York, are proving the
death blow to river traffic. Unless
notifications Of these regulations can
be secured-and steps are being taken
to that end-the Mississippi will prac-
tically cease to be a navigated stream
from st. Louis north, and the Ohio will
lose most of its business.
This is the statement made by own
ers and masters of the river steamers.
The season is here for opening of river
trade, but there is no trade as yet. 1t
is doubtful whether there will be any.
The inspectors have had bad scare
since the indictment of some of their
number following the Slocum affair,
and are literal in enforcing regulations.
The regulations, unfortunately, were
made for ocean-going craft or those
navigating the Great Lakes, and arc
utterly untitled to river vessels.
Captain Walter Blair of Davenport,
a river veteran, is quoted as saying
that there must be an adjustment Of
the rules to river conditions, or else the
vessels must 60 out of business.
