Feeding Rer.s to Lay.

g-. We do not believe q person can
feed so TO make all kinds of hens
lay, says Field and Farm. Some hens
will not lay many eggs no matter
how they are fed, but we can man
age so that the fowls will not have
their feed as an actual obstacle to
laying. 1t is our observation that the
maturity and vigor Of hens are the
chief things that have to do with
large. egg. production. We must so
feed that the fowls wifi be kept in
thriving condition and that their di-
gestive organs will not be compelled
to do great deal of unnecessary
work. Variety counts for great
deal. All Of the following feeds are
good If given each in small quanti-
ties: Corn, wheat, buckwheat, oats,
barley, linseed meal, cotton seed
meal, corn, meal, gluten meal, meat
and bone, alfalfa, beets, cabbage and
rape. We might add others. but
these are the principal ones. II
mixture is fed we are likely to get
the protein and fat formers about
right in proportion. One of the best
ways to help the birds TO produce
eggs is to allow them to hunt for
bugs and PICK green stuff as much as
possible.

RAISING GEESE FOR PRoFIT.
least Profitable of All Stock Unless
-- Their Nature is Studied.

Geese are probably the hardest of
all domestic fowls, require less at
tention than cows or hens, and little
or no outlay for buildings. The old
geese do we'll in all weathers with
nothing~in the way of shelter but a
shed to run under, and usually they
disdain that They DO best on wet
or marshy land, where hens and tur-
keys would not thrive. They are,
however, very different from other
fowls, and unless their nature is un-
derstood and their requirements met
they are least profitable of all stock.
The desirability of extending
knowledge OF the best methods of
geese raising, as well as making ex-
periments that will throw more light
on the subject, is evident from the
facts above stated.
In a recent report of the Rhode
Island Station, a number of tests are
reported. The Embden-White China
were the easiest to pick, were
white when dressed. and, though
small, were plump and presented an
attractive appearance. The Embden-
African shown in the illustration
were large and plump.
Old geese lay greater number of
larger eggs and are more reliable
than young geese. Nevertheless, If
geese must be purchased it often
saves time TO buy young geese
rather than attempt to secure any
number of old ones. Young gam

Cnltiratlng the Orchard.

There Is nothing that adds to the
value of farm like a well cared for
apple orchard. Such farms are not
In the market. A young, thrifty, or
chard, not old enough to bear, adds
to the value of the farm twice as
much as the orchard cost. You cant
drive q boy off farm where there is
good orchard and he will take care
of 1t. The "harrer," the hoe, the
hand saw and the jackknife, will give
new life to an old, half-starved or
chard.--Indiana Farmer.
