Greater Corn Crops.

Every farmer located in the corr
belt is DESTROYS of growing as much
corn per acre as possible and it is
The fault in many instances of the
corn land owner If he does not do so.
In this section our farmers are
learning that it is profitable to study
the minor details that affect the pro-
suction of a good healthy corn crop.
Proper soil and good drainage are
ghe first two requisites. We have the
former and cannot afford to do with
out the latter.
Then disk well both ways of the

Corn or Potatoes.

Some time ago | noticed an article
m the paper from a Maine farmer who
did not think it paid farmers in New
England to raise corn, but said it would
pay better to raise potatoes, and buy
our corn from the West. Did this
brother farmer yer think what would
be the result if everybody went into
the potato business? They would not
be worth 25 cents a bushel, and they
are a crop that we cannot use at home
at any profit. But not so with corn.
We can use all we can raise at a good
profit, and there is no danger of over
production.
But | do not wish to discourage any
one who can make more money with
potatoes. Let every one raise the crop
that he is suSe will bring him the most
clear profit. Here in Rhode Island
much of the land is light and stony,
and will not raise potatoes enough
10 pay for the manure used, but will
raise fine corn with a little manure
and good cultivation, so let us find
out the crops u farms are best
adapted to and stick to them.-Culti-

Young geese are easily cared for,
and cause little trouble or expense to
raise after the first six weeks, pro-
vided they have access to good goose
pasturage. They are really grazing
birds, and will forage for themselves
on the right kind of land. Not only
do they get most of their own living,
but tend to. improve the quality of the
land.
No great expense is required for
building. A low house four feet high
answers for shelter. The floor should
be covered with plenty of litter, and
no special attention to warmth is re-
quired. During the pasture season
geese should be allowed free range
in their pasture, returning at night
for shelter. If ~pasturage is limited it
would pay to grow green crops, such
as oats, to be fed off by the geese.
4 pond or stream is not necessary,
but it is desirable to have enough
water for them to swim in, and they
along the banks of small, sluggish
streams or on overlooked land.
During the laying season, early in
the spring, the eggs should be re-
moved from the nest so that the goose
will lay as many eggs as possible,
usually from thirty to forty. The sur
plus eggs may be placed under hens,
three or four eggs to a hen, choosing
large sized birds. The period of
Matching is thirty days. The eggs set
under hens are apt to lack moisture
and should be sprinkled occasionally
to prevent the inner skin from being
tough and hindering the Matching of
the gosling.
The young goslings will almost
raise themselves, being hardy and
strong and growing very fast. They
soon become able to look after them
selves. Unlike chickens, they need
very little brooding, and at the end
of a week or ten days may be kept in
good sized iocks of twenty or twenty
five. During the first ten days or so
they should be confined in a low,
movable run to prevent their wander
ms away ohu SNICiAS iOot. LID I'LL
should be in a shady place, and con
nected with a sheltered coop.
These youngsters are fed very much
like young chickens, plenty of good
fresh skim-milk being especially de-
sirable to make rapid growth. After
the first ten days the appetite of
growing goslins becomes very vigor-
Gus, and cheapness should be sought
in the food ration. Besides the grass
pasturage, which will furnish a large
part of the food, it is possible to work
off various cheap b%y-products, such as
slightly damaged grains, which may
be had at seventy-five cents to 81 per
hundred at the grain stores making a
specially of such lines.
The goslings may be either grown
quickly to market as green geese or
kept through the season for the
Christmas trade, both plans being
followed by those farmers of the east.

In some Of the milk studies made at
York Agricultural Experiment Station
tGeneva), it was observed that car
bonic acid gas in the milk tended to
prevent its souring. This seemed
worthy of further investigation, and a
series of tests was conducted in which
the gas was combined with the milk
varying ~pressures, using the ordinary
soda water chargers and sealing the
bottles TO retain the gas and exclude
The air. With the higher pressures OF
gas, souring of the milk was delayed
Indefinitely; as bottles charged under
pressure of 175 pounds to the inch re-
manned sweet for five months. The
milk thus treated makes an agreeable
drink; and it is believed that the pro-
cess will be valuable for preserving
milk for use on sea-going vessels, in
hospitals and elsewhere. Full details
Of the tests are given in Bulletin No.
1872 of the station, which may be OBJ
tained on application.

Farm Notes.

Gull, Gull, Gull. The best are none
too good for the breeding pen.
Do not let pigs get stunted. It is
uphill work to make much of one
that does.
The more pigs sucked by a SOW
with her first litter, the more will
her milk-producing habit for all time
develop.
No sire and no dam, nc matter how
great its reputation or how good it's
pedigree, will produce good pigs ex-
clusively. Selection and breeding up
must be done as often as a litter is
dropped.
When hogs cannot be on pasture,
very good results can be got from
the use of well-cured hay made from
any of the clovers, alfalfa or pea
vines. Hogs will eat large quantities
of it and it helps to balance their
rations.
Some claim that a SOW that farrows
twice a year will develop more high
ly the milk-giving habit, than if only
one litter is dropped a year. The prin-
ciple that is supposed to underlie this
claim is that from much use the
udder develops better. The exper-
fence of successful h~og-raisers is de-
sired on this point.
If it becomes necessary to give
some of the pigs of n SOW to an
other, especially if they are more than
two or three days old, brush all the
pigs over lightly with a cloth that has
been merely dampened with coal oil.
Sows distinguish between their own
pigs and others largely by smelling
them. and the treatment recommend.
ed will make them all smell alike.
There are two advantages in TAX
ing some of the pigs from a SOW that
| has a large number to give to one
| that has too few: "a BY having some
of her pigs taken from her, the SOW
| that has too many will nourish better
what remain. ca The sow that or
iginally has some given to her, will
have more milk-giying teats developed
for future litters.-From "Pig Points

The Horse and Over Check.

The Horse n Over check.
An old and experienced horseman
says:
my experience has been that no
horse can be successfully driven with
anything like a severe bit. | never
saw one that was ever broken of the
habit of pulling in that way. II you
put a severe bit in the horses mouth
and pull on it, it makes the horse mad
aud irritates him; the further you
drive him and the harder you pull
him the more he will pull against it.
When | was a boy, almost every trot-
ter 1 saw would pull in a disagreeable
manner when being driven at top
speed. At the present time | cannot
lhink of one horse that is anything
IKE first-class that pulls enough to
make it d~isagreeable for the man at
any time. A great many people think
that every horse should be driven with
m overcheck. ! can remember when
I had the same opinion myself. | am
zow satisfied that it is a serious mis-
take. There are a great many horses
that will not take kindly to an over
check, and if you insist on using it on
them it will sooner or later spoil the
horse's disposition to a great extent.
The first thing in training a horse
Is 10 make a careful study of the ami
NAL, learning all his ~peculiarities,
faults, weaknesses, habits, etc. l
think one vital mistake made by men
training horses is that they do not
seem to think horses are made OF
flesh and blood, and very nearly hui
man in all their ways.

but as well in growing the potato

Then grade your seed, both in quail
ity and in quantity. In quality first.
Do not she'll into your basket one sin
gle ear that you are doubtful of in APP

Test each ear by Smelling off a few
grains and placing them upon a mus
lin mat marked off in checks and
numbered, numbering the ears to cor
respond. Place the mat into a good
sized, fiat box filled with moist earth
or sawdust. In a few days you can
discard the worthless grains and the
ears to which they belong, for they
have failed to terminate, or are weak
ly in sprouting. Shell off the tips and
butts. No use for them. Yet they
will grow and produce, but plenty OF
nice uniform grains will make a more
even stand.-Geo. w. Brown, in the
Epitomist.

More Marriages in England.

Many interesting details as to the
marriages which took place in Eng
land and Wales during 1906 are given
in the registrar generals detailed re.
port for that year. There were more
OF them than in the previous year, but
the increase was not conspicuous In
the case Of widowers, while there was
no increase at all in that of widows.
AS already recorded, the birth rate
was abnormally low, while the death
rate was higher for the year. The
marriage rate shows an increase of
0.3 over 1905, but was OF below the
average for the ten years 1S96-1905.
The birth rate was the lowest ever re-
corded, being OIL less than in 1905
and 1.6 lower than the decennial
average.-London Chronicle.
