Germany Studying Bread.

In the production and control OF
pure food supply by thoroughly scien-
tific methods the Germans are dis
posed to keep their lead. The new
Government method institute for
milling research, supplementing the
two Institutes for research In the
sugar and fermentation industries,
is equipped with an experimental
granary, wheat and rye mill and
bakery, together with administrative
offices and laboratories, the mach1n-
cry and apparatus being OF the most
advanced kind, all driven by cleo
tricity. The mill has two distinct
plants, each milling two tons of grain
in ten hours. The purpose OF the in
stitute is to carry out practical re-
search and scientific investigation on
grain during storing, milling, work
ing up and baking; to experiment
with the baking of home and import
ed grain; to conduct research work
for the Government, and to carry
out official and private analyses OF
grain, -four, fodder stuffs, etc. Every
effort will be made to investigate
thoroughly the numerous problems OF
milling and baking.-St. Louis Post

GOOD PROFIT IN GEESE.

Rhode Island has long been famed
as the banner turkey State. Raising
geese there for market is also an i'm
portant and profitable industry, stand
ing midway between turkey and chick
en- production. Farmers Bulletin No.
IS of the Department Of Agriculture.
which has recently been reprinted
given some salient points on these
fine farm birds. Geese, it states, are
fowls, requiring less attention than
hens, or even COWS, and little or NO
outlay for buildings. The old geese
do well in all weather with nothing
in the way of shelter but a shed to
run under, and usually they dlsdaln
that. They do best where they can
get to wet or marshy land and in loca-
lions where hens and turkeys will not
thrive. They are, however, very diff
ferent from other fowls and unless
their nature is understood and their
requirements met, they are the least
profitable of all stock.
To insure best results, geese for

fall, not later than October to enable
them to become acquainted with their
new surroundings before the breeding
season. Geese are grazers and too
much grain is not good for them. Very
early laying is not desirable as the
goshngs do not thrive unless they
have an abundance of grass.
The best ganders for breeding pur-
poses are stated to be African and
Brown China. These have given the
best results among the Rhode Island
breeders. The Toulouse geese lay
well but often do not sit. Emblem
geese make better mothers. Brown
and White China geese are prolific
layers. Eggs may be Matched advant-
ageously under hens, but the goslings
should be at once taken away from
them. They may be brooded for a
short time in outdoor brooders and
after that confined in houses at night.

FARM NOTES.

Don't forget to paint the walls OF
the poultry house with thick coat OF
whitewash this fall
Don't fail to store up plenty of dust
for the winter dust bath.
Don't let another laying season go
by without trying trap nests. They
will tell about Improbable hens.
Don't sell the best of the flock be-
cause you can catch them easier. Gull
with judgment.
Don't think that because an incuba-
tor or brooder is cheap it is the best.
There are many makes. Study them
and get the best.
Don't put fifty fowls In house
built for half that number.
Don't buy screenings for feed. Buy
good wheat or corn.
Don't feed turkeys new corn before
the cool days of November. Begin
gradually increasing until they are ON
full feed.
Don't mix in few good birds with
the culls when marketing, thereby ex.
pecting to get better price. It works
the other way every time. Successful

How Some Ships Are Lost.

The loss of many English fishing
boats is now said to be due to the
fact that the helmsmen often carries
a specially forged fisherman's knife
These knives possess strong mag.
netic properties and will defect a
compass needle two or three points.
This means that the helmsman may
be apparently steaming true course,
but is in reality much out of the way.

in order to do this takes various
forms. We have known a man Co

The value of breeds is greater than
is known to some. Formerly it was
considered necessary to keep a steer
until four or FIVE years of age before
sending to market. but with the use
of improved breeds steers can now
be marketed at two or three years OF
age and will be heavier than those OF
twice that age that are not well bred.
Good breeds save time and feed, in
crease the weight and lead to higher
prices.-Farmer's Home Journal.

Because of the size and shape OF

to push them up to fence or railing,

operation is never complete.
To overcome this defect new ma
chine has been invented which might
be likened to circular saw revolv-
