The Monkey countsd to Thrse.

But as regards animals being able

keys could count up to three, but no

ing the proprietor by making excur-
sions from the bush into the field.
and throwing down about nfty times
as many cobs as they tackled inter-

lieved that monkeys could count only
up to q certain number. took three
friends with him into the field with
guns. openly. Naturally the monkeys
were not taking any lead Just then

A Hit At The Potato.

And now comes some geezer and as
serts that the Irish potato IL an un-
healthy vegetable; that It contains MI
cro5es that create fevers and other
ailments. We will not say that the
man who has made this dastardly at
tack on the leading food Of the Hi
bernians is liar, but he is evidently
an unmitigated crank. Generations Of
Irishmen have been born and reared
and finally passed to their rewards
who were raised principally on pota-
toes Where. we ask, does the Anglo
Saxon race get its fighting men? or
course, the Irishman, strictly speak
ing. is not a member of the Anglo
Saxon race, but he has done most of
the fighting for the race in the past
few generations. He has fought with
fists and shillalies and guns and has
made a record wherever he has fought
with that kind of weapons. This In
dicates that the potato builds up q
hardy. healthy, aggressive race. not an
aenemic. fever-stricken generation

In order to do this takes various
forms. We have known man to
grow rich at farming who started on
about fifty acres. He rented other

fifty acres thus became very fertile.

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.
So of the Department of Agriculture,
which has recently been reprinted
given some salient points on these
fine farm birds. Geese, 1t states. are
probably the hardest of all domestic
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 shed to
run under, and usually they disdain
that. They do best where they can
get to wet or marshy land and in loca-
tions 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.
10 insure pest results, geese lot
breeding should be obtained In the
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
goslings 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. Embden
geese make better mothers. Brown
and White China gee;e 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 broojers and
after that confined in houses at night
