STEET PAVING
Something About Street Paving What Some
Older Cities Have Tried.

Indepence, Mo-, has about five miles
OF paved streets, all of vitrified brick
except four blocks about the public
square with asphalt The paving has
all been done at the expense OF the
abutting property, the city paying for
the street intersections. The paving
has all been done since 1899. The cost
was about s. 90 per yard.
But the street which independence
claims to be its best is about 3 blocks,
built last year at a cost of S1S3 cents a
square YARD. This street is paved with
vitrilied brick on a concrete base The
special feature is that instead of filling
space between the brick with sand and
cement, melted asphalt was poured in
to every crevice and a thin skim of as
phalt over the top of the bricks, This
formed cushion between the bricks,
cemented them into the consistency of
single block, took away all the noise
and lar of the brick street aud made
what is claimed to be an everlasting
pavement TO drive over this street
seems like driving over an asphalt
pavement.

ABOUT WATER FOWLS
A Very interesting Letter to Those Who
Contemplate Goose Farming.

Editor Western Farm Journal: The
rearing of water fowls is an ideal occu.
for women who are properly situated.
Goose farming is one of the most
profitable branches of the poultry in
dastry, and one that is capable of in
definite expansion. While Americans
have not been great consumers OF geese
heretofore, we are beginning to appre-
ciate them, Roast goose at Christmas
is becoming as popular as roast turkey
at THANKSGIVING, and no one need
fear of slow demand at that season
which is the usual time for disposing of
all your surplus stock. In near
ly all large markets, however, there is
constant demand all winter, for fat
geese: and late in the summer imna-
ture birds, known as green geese,
bring very high prices.
Goslings grow faster than any other
domestic fowl aud are as easily raised

A SURE VERMiNE DESTROYER.

There is perhaps nothing on earth
that gives growers of poultry fancy,
commercial as general farm breeders A.
much trouble as lice and mites. Mit..
kill a million dollars worth Of poultry
every year, and it keeps every one who
raises chicken fighing every day, week
and mouth in the year in order to keen
them from "walking off" or "tskiur
the place" is one would say. Here iss
remedy that has proved to be as near
an total extinguisher as any thing yet
presented to the ptblic and the bsstiy
of it all is that it is cheap and easy Of
application.
Take one pound OF lime, unslacksd,
and one pound Of sulphur to every four
gallons of spray to DO made. First
slack the lime in the can or boiler.
Then add the sulphur and enough NOR,
water so that the mixture will stir
easily. Heat the mixture to boiling,
stirring thoroughly all the time. Con.
tinue the boiling until the sulphur d
all dissolved. This will generally n.
quire from thirty minutes to one hour
of brisk boiling. After the sulphur 10
all in solution, add water to complete
tho required volume and transfer to
the spraying tank through q coarse
sieve such as wire fly screen in order
to remove any coarse impurities which
might clog or injure the spray nezzlea
The perches, nests and walls, as well
as the hoer Of the house should b.
thoroughly sprayed with this solution
at least twice year, in the spring and
in the fall, and if the work is done pro.
perly, you will not DO troubled with
any lice or mites.

lecting Judge from afar. The local
association has pointed out to Mr.. Col
lier that it will bear the extra expense
if Judge like George d. Holden OF
Minnesota is brought West. He is one
OF the best judges in the United States
BY many he is regared as the ablest.
Certainly he has no superiors in this
country. His reputation for honest
dealing is of the best. He has been
judging poultry in all the big Eastern
shows for many years and there his
work has always given the highest de-
gree of satisfaction.
King country poultrymen say that il
the fair association will employ Holden
they will make up the extra exsense
for bringing him here by swelling the
entry fees from this county. In other
words if Holden is to be the Judge OF
the show poultrymen from Seattle and
other points in the county will see that
the total entry fees from here foot up
from $3.50 to 5000.
If local judge is employed it is
doubtful if there would be any exhibits
from King country, certainly they
would be very few. In fighting for an
Eastern Judge King country poultry
men say that their only object in ask
ing for one is to get their birds passed

as chickens, although they require diff
ferent management.
Geese, both old and young, must
have plenty of pasture, in summer. In
this respect, they are more like cattle
or sheep than fowls. In the spring and
summer when grass and weeds are
plentiful they require very little atten-
tior, save, perhaps, little extra feed
once or twice day. Many goose far
mers let the young geese look out for
themselves, after they are week old.
Ducks would not thrive on grass
alone and should never be kept with
geese. A duck, while young, will con-
sumo as much grain food as four Cos
lngs and the gain in weight is less
rapid. Nevertheless, we have had Pc
kin ducklings to weigh from ten to
fourteen pounds per pair when three
months old These had been forced
! The feathers from both ducks and
geese still bring good price in spite of
! the existing prejudice against feather
beds.
4! White feathers bring more in. the
market than colored ones.
Goose feathers bring from 45 to 60
cents per pound, while duck feathers
bring anywhere from 30 to as cents.
After fifteen years experience with
water fowls find that geese take the
! lead for both flesh and feathers.
A great many people think that geees
cannot be kept on land without water
to swim in. This mistaken idea is
what keeps hundreds of would.be goose
farmers from embarking in this pur-
suit. The fact is, geese will thrive
where there is only sufficient water for
them to drink. OF course, ponds and
streams are always appreciated by all
water fowls, and many claim that the
old birds do better where there is
swimming water, because of the fresh
ing effect upon their plumage. But
we know from experience that the
young fowls must be hept away from
ponds and creeks until they are we'll
feathered out, as cold water causes
cramps;
Water fowls are never troubled with
vermine and it is in very rare instances
that one dies of disease.
Late in the fall is the best time to
start with geese. A pair or trior of
any one of the large kinds as the
Toulouse, Embden Chinese or African
geese will cost anywhere from eight to
sixteen dollars.
The two first named are very LARGE.
pair often weighing fifty pounds and
over. The Toulouse is gray in color
while the Embden is pure white. The
China and African geese are dark col.
ored and somewhat smaller than the
first named. The China goose is very
beautiful, having graceful body and
swan.like neck.
Geese reach maturity when about
two and a half years old and live to
great age. At ten years goose is in
its prime, This, however, does not re-
fer to market geese, which not be over
two years old.
Goose farming is profitable occupa-
ton almost anywhere except in the
far south. The northern states are
particularly adapted to the rearing of
these mammoth water fowls on account
of their ability to endure cold. Indeed
they often seem quite Indifferent to
snow and freezing winds while other
fowls are safe in the warmest retreat.

a Southern Exposure In the hest FOR
All Houses.
Sunlight Is natures most health CIV
ing scavenger. A house without sun
light is unhealthy and unsafe for hui
man occupancy, and 1t is necessary
not only to have some sunlight, but
to have as much Of 1t as possible. 1t
is, of course, not feasible to admit the
direct rays of the run to every room
of house. The typical plan of all
houses is square or rectangular, and at
least one side of the house Is entirely
beyond the reach of the sun. The 9TH
er three sides, however, can receive
more or less direct sunlight, and the
problem of the plan is thus reduced to
arranging the various rooms so that
the amount of sunlight is adjusted to
their uses. And it must be sunlight for
mere light itself Is not sufficient. The
rays of the sun have curative and
cleansing properties that nothing else
has.
1t is generally admitted that a south
ern exposure Is the best for all houses
and should be obtained whenever pos
sible. 1t is immaterlal whether the en-
trance be placed on this side or not, so
long as the rooms most in use open
on to the house. In dwellings of aver
age size the entrance front will also be
the front on which any important room
opens, but In large country houses the
old distinction of front and back to a
house has disappeared, and instead we
have the entrance front and the garden
front. The service and servants quar-
tiers, so long regarded as characteristic
of the back of a house, may be rele-

Paris, May 1.-The long-dreaded
May day failed to bring the revolution
which infiammatory journals predict
ed, but none the less it brought
scenes of extreme violence. The la
Dor districts, which thousands of
troops controlled with difficulty, and
even central portions of Paris have
taken on the appearance of a siege,
with regiments Of infantry and cav
airy camped about the Arc de Triom-
phe, the Bourse, the bank of France
and the great railway station, while
military sentinels paced before banks
and private establishments.
The worst hours of the day were
toward five o'clock last evening, when
the police practically lost control and
were compelled to rely on the mount
ed troops. The latter, forming into
lines twenty yards across and fifteen
yards apart, swept around the Place
de La Republique, driving the disord-
erly crowds into the surrounding
streets. Most of the mob sought ref
uge in the Boulevard de La Magenta
and at the Quai de Valmy, which be-
came scenes of disorders. Here trum-
pets sounded repeated commands to
dispense, and the cavalry galloped into
the crowds, trampling and injuring
many.
Throughout the disorders the auth
critics succeeded in executing their
original plan of holding the disturb
ers strictly within the limits of the
labor district and not permitting
them to press towards the wealthy
commercial and residential sections.
