orioln Of the Lovinu Cup.

Our modern loving cup doubtless Is
derived from the cup used in queer
custom which had it's birth amidst the
gallantry of the middle ages. The

from the same cup, and ate from the
same dish, which was called eating

GEESE CLEAN PROFIT.

Geese come as near being clear
profit as any stock raised on the
farm. Geese make their living large.
ly on grass and are practically self
supporting. They do not require a
large pasture field, but one that pro-
duces good yield. Add a little
grain occasionally and you will have
no trouble raising geese. They only
require water for drinking purposes,
same as a hen. They are louse-and-
mite-proof, are seldom subject to any
kind of disease, and hawks seldom
prey upon the young goslings. Some
complain that goose is nuisance;
so are hogs if they are not con-
fined to their pasture. Large num-
bers of geese should be raised every
year.-Commercia Poultry.

TRAP NESTS MAKE RECORDS.

TRAP NESTS MAKE RECORDS.
A trap nest is a simple device to
catch the hen when she enters to
lay. AS she passes into the nest she
presses against a trigger which holds
up the door and it falls down be-
hind her. When she has laid the egg
1t is numbered to correspond with the
number on the hens leg band. This
enables the breeder to keep each
hens eggs separate with perfect ac-
curacy.
Attempts to improve the egg-pro-
ducing qualities of the hen date
to the domestication of the
hen, but it has only been within
the last few years that rapid pro-
gress has been possible in this work.
Yhe inability to determine the good
layers has been the difficulty.
With the perfection of the trap
nest this difficulty has been removed
and many poultry breeders are now
engaged in the production of egg.
laying strains of fowls.
The great majority of people make
no selection of hens from which to
hatch their stock. The eggs of the
whole flock are kept together, and
when eggs are desired for Matching
they are selected from general bas-
ket.
1t has been assumed and is shown
by trap nest records that eggs thus
selected in the spring of the year are
from the poorer rather than from the
better layers. This is because the
hens that have not been laying dur
ing the winter will lay very heavily
during the SPRING season.-Kansas

too small for their comfort, and ar

But we are planning to make a
complete renovation of the entire
building before we consign these
early birds, the most promising OF
the flock, to their new quarters. 1t
won't do to run any risks at this
stage Of the game.
The old nesting will be carried
out, burned and replaced with fresh,
new nests. The roosts will be wash
ed thoroughly in ten quarts OF
strong soapsuds into which one gal.
Ion of brine and one quart of coal
oil (kerosene) have been mixed. The
entire building will be sprayed with
like solution Ga gill Of crude car
bolic acid stirred into the mixture,
will greatly add to the effectiveness
Of the work..
Then, after making sure that. all
Of the droppings are removed. the dirt
on the floor will be spaded up-all
of which will insure fresh. clean
quarters and the complete annihila-
tion of both lice and mite pests. OF
course, we must be sure that the
young chickens are free from lice be-
fore this change is made, even If
we have to dip them in order to do
so. A little lard rubbed on the head
and under the wings may be sufticl-
ent to remove the few lice found on
them, but at any rate, they must
be gotten rid Of
Having once made these thorough
preparations, and installed the young
flock in their new home, they Will

they have been budding into during

velop more rapidly, and by the time
they are fully matured, they will
have become so accustomed to their
new quarters, that they will start
right in to laying, and keep it up al!
winter long.
Another important item: We keep
the very earliest and choicest of tho
flock for layers. Don't allow the
high price paid for spring chickens
to tempt you to sell those which
would bring you the most money.
You simply cannot afford it. BY keep.
| ing your late-hatched chicks, you'll
have to feed them through the win
ter for nothing. They will not lay
till the next spring Then, too, one
wants to breed up toward winter
layers, and late chickens won't do
that as well as the earlier ones.
So push the young flock right
along A halt now may mean a
stunted and Improbable flock. Give
an abundance of pure, cool water.
Furnish plenty of pleasant shade.
J Until cooler weather sets in. feed the
\ lighter grains, rather than too much
heatproducing corn. Keep them
away from the older flocks, If pos
sible, for their young, rapidly devel-
oping bodies need more food and
matured fowls. Don't forget the egg
producing qualities of green bone. In
short, keep a sharp lookout for the
cleanliness and comfort of the young
flock seeing that they are in prime
condition when they start through
the winter, and you'll find it little
time mighty profitably spent.-M. Al
