better of the goose business If you can
hatch out the first eggs laid, if they

The second litter is where you may
expect to do some business. Save
your eggs until the goose begins to
line her nest with down plucked from
her body and then you know that the
end of the litter is at hand. If there
are more than 13 eggs, set the remain
Ter under a good Plymouth Rock hen,
and you now stand a chance of get

After they are Matched they seldom
lie. The feed, as before stated, should
be chopped vegetables sprinkled With
neal, but young grass is far better for
The young goslings and they will pick
Up some cracked corn. 1t will cause
you to wonder sometimes what the
soslings eat to keep them alive and
growing as they do.
If a goose raises ten goslings a sea-
son she is doing well, for they will
bring from $40 to SIS and 1T costs not
more than 25 per cent. of that to

will do that? The goose herself is
WORTH from 81 to 50, according to her
breeding.

BEES SENSE OF DIRECTION
Experiment Demonstrates Little Hon
ey Maker Better Qualified
Than the Pigeon.

The bee line Is an established fact,
but recently M. CASTOR Bennier, be-
fore the Academic des Sciences, in
Paris, raised the question as to wheth-
er bees are not endowed with a sense
of direction in the same way as are
carrier pigeons and swallows. 1t does
not appear that NJ. CASTOR BONNER
had put his theory to the test, but a
correspondent, writing in a Paris con
temporary, says that a bee keeper in
the north of France made a test some
time ago, and that he satisfied him
self that the sense of direction is
more finely developed in the bee than
in the pigeon. According to the cor
respondent, one day in July of a year
not mentioned the bee keeper took a
dozen pigeons and a dozen bees about
eight miles from his garden and there
released them. To recognize the bees
he busted them with flour, and had a
friend stationed near the hive and
we'll in view of the dovecote. The first
bee arrived home exactly Is seconds
before the first pigeon, and their com
panions followed in due order. 1t is
very probable that the flour to a GER
tain extent impeded the flight of the
bees, but nevertheless the pigeons
were hopelessly beaten.

MYSTERIOUS Bee Disease.

The mysterious Isle of Wight bee
disease" discovered two years ago,
which makes the proverbial busy bee
d%isinclined to do any work and then
paradoxically causes him to die Of ex
haustion, has broken out in Bucking-
hamshire.
It is a microbe similar in many
ways to the plague bacillus which at
lacks human beings. The germ caused
such havoc in the Isle of Wight that
bee keeping was practically killed
there as an industry. The board of
agriculture are not yet aware how the
disease is caused nor how to cure it.

No other medicine for woman's ills

qualified endorsement. No other med
icine we know of has such a record
of cures of female ills as has Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
For more than 80 years it has been
curing female complaints such as
Inflammation, liberation, local weak
nesses, fibroid tumors, irregularities,
periodic pains, backache, indigestion
and nervous prostration, and it is
unequalled for carrying women safely

GOOD POULTRY YARD NOTES.

There are no disease germs in fresh
eggs.
Rub the dust off the windows and
let the sunshine into the chicken
house.
The well-fec pullet is an early
layer.
The Leghorn is the common fowl
of Italy.
~Soft-shelled eggs are a sign of want
of lime.
You cannot make money out OF
poultry unless you work.
The market has never yet been
pverstocked with broilers.
If you go among the broods often
you will observe their needs.
Sunflower seeds give gloss to the
plumage of dark feathered birds.
Growing fowls require a great deal
Of exercise, and so do laying hens, es.
pecially young ones.
Don't tolerate a loafng hen. A hen
that won't work is better of in the
stew pot.
Scaley legs may be cured by using
kerosene freely or by rubbing with
sulphur and lard.
Even If you did not keep a record
of your poultry business during the
last year, be sure to do SO this year.
When the chicks droop their wings
or are dumpish look for lice. Rub
some grease well over the top of the
head.
Viewer allow lumber or any piles OF
rubbish near the henhouse. They af.
ford good hiding places for rats and
other vermin.

have no lice on the backs Of their
heads. The louise kills more chicks
than all other things combined.
