Fattening and Dressing Geese.

In winter there is Il good demand
in cities of any size for large, well
fattened young geese. The buyers
mostly come from the Jewish popu.
laton. Early in December is soon
enough TO begin putting the geese in
training for the event. While many
take them direct from good pasture
and sell them, it pays to devote lit
tie time and food TO fattening them.
Two or three weeks of good feeding,
where there are no disturbing infu.
ences, will make quite a difference in
the weight and quality of the flesh.
Ground oats and corn, half and half,
mOistened with skim milk, is 4 good
fattening ration for these fowls, we
find, as well as for other poultry. It
is not much trouble TO boil large
kettle Of corn once day for them,
and there is no feed better relished
by ducks or geese while fattening,
and ii gives good results, too. We
cook the corn on the kitchen stove.
The hard grains become soft after
boiling a few hours. The boiled corn
also makes a good evening meal for
the hens at this season, fed warm.
Geese need q roomv pen to stay in
while getting them in condition for
market, and, if possible, this pen
should be out of sight and hearing Of
the rest of the flock. They need a
large drinking trough kept well filled
with fresh water. Stats over the top
Of the trough help to keep the water
clean, but it will become foul, any
way, unless the trough is cleaned of.
ten, and the pen where fattenng
geese or ducks are kept will soon be-
come filthy unless cleaned about
every day, especially in q rainy time.
1t is no small task to feed and care
for them during the fattening period
1t will not do to feed them too much
grain; then they will lose their appe.
tite for green food. The green food
in some form is needed with the grain
to nut them in best condition for mar
ket.
It inhames the skin and Injuries the
sale to dry pick geese or ducks just
before killing in order TO save the
feathers. Another mistake is SINCE
ing the body over a flame, as we do
with chickens. to remove the hair.
This gives the body or the goose an
oily appearance. After scalding
geese in water at the same temper
ature as for other kinds of poultry,
wrap in a heavy cloth and give the
steam time to penetrate and loosen
the feathers. Right here little judg-
ment must be used. Leaving too long
in this condition will cook the flesh.
In dressing geese the feathers should
be left on the head and for two or
three inches on the neck. After pick
ing clean. plump" by holding in
scalding water several seconds; then
rinse in cold water. Wipe dry and

Irving TO Abolish Flies.

A prize Of 5000 has been awarded
by the Paris Matin to the anony-
nous inventor of new method of
getting rid of houseflies. The meth
cd is strictly scientific, and, it IS
claimed, will completely destroy the
eggs, which are usually deposited in
drain pipes, Crude petrol mixed with
water is used for household disin-
fecting purposes. The drain pipes
become lined with the oil, which both
kills the eggs already there and
precludes the deposit of others.
When desired the petrol can be pour
ed on fine soil and the latter sprink-
led in corners. This, it is said, is
thoroughly eflicacious in destroying
the eggs. The operations should be
carried out in the spring to obtain
the best results.-Lundon Mail.

Poultry otcs.

A few fowls in separate pens are
much more profitable and more easily
kept healthy than in large numbers.
In counting the cost of keeping
poultry 4 good plan is to estimate
one bushel of grain a year to each
laying hen.
Select the TURKEY hens wanted for
breeding. The hens should not be
kept after they are three years old.
Giving a generous feed of corn
every evening is in one Of the best
ways Of inducing turkeys, ducks and
geese to come home ut night.
The main secret in securing eggs in
winter is to supply good comfortable
quarters, and keep the fowls in a
good. thrifty condition.
Unless specially desired for breed
ers, hens that do not lay regularly
should be marketed as soon as pos
sible. II costs something TO winter
even a hen.-Epitomist

Controlling unruly Stock.

lu my experience in handling all
kinds of live stock have learned
several better ways of controlling
and handling unruly and stubborn
stock than resorting to whips and
sticks. When a mule is down and re-
fuses to get up, simply clasp both
hands firmly on his nostrils and
mouth in such a way as TO shut Off
his breath. This brings him TO his
feet every time and no marks are left
as evidence of unhuman treatment.
To prevent COW from kicking, tie
rope or leather strap tightly around
her body Just in front of the udder.
Turn a vicious or stubborn bull by
tap on the tip of the nose. This
will also turn a bad boar or hog. A
tight twist of the ear or nose will
quiet the widest MULE. w. Jones,

Suggestion of great possibilities Of
water supply is given in paper by
Prof. C. II. Hitchcock, of Dartmouth
college. 1t is a study Of fresh water
springs in the ocean and within a
few miles of the shore. Enough is
known of the existence of such
springs to warrant the belief that
there must be vast quantities of fresh
water discharged in this way through
undiscovered springs, and perhaps
close TO big cities and to fertile soil
where the water is needed for drink
ing or for irrigation. Some of these
springs show artesian conditions and
will rise thirty-two to forty-two feet
by the pressure of the supply There
is porous waterbearing stratum be-
meath an impervious cover. Pierre
ing this by boring gives access to a
water supply that will rise quite a
height without pumping.-New York

Bones 1000 Years Old.

An interesting archaeological dis
covery was recently made at Lea
grave, near Luton, England, by the
unearthing of two skeletons, esti-
mated to be quite 1000 years old.
Beside the bones were also found
quantity of bronze ornaments. The
skeletons are believed to be the re-
mains of two females, dating back to
late Celtic times, since the mode Of
burial was typical of that period.
Both bodies, says the Scientific
American, were in a doubled-up po-
sition, with the head TO the west.
Some of the bones were in re-
markably good state of preservation,
especially the skull and teeth, al
though much discolored by contact
with the earth. The bodies were
found 10 feet apart.

"Our baby had that dreadful complaint,

slant misery, in fact, there was nothing
we would not have done to have given him

spirit and really laughed, for the first time
in a year. in about ninety days he was
fully recovered. Praise for the Cuticura
Remedies has always been our greatest

During the court-martial at New
York of Maj. Price, Of the Artillery
Corps, it came out that barkeepers
are in the habit of keeping a fake
whisky to give to those who have al

tion whisky was made Of ginger ale

only so a little further and give this
