When did you whitwash the hen
house last?
Watch the perches and nests for
mites and lice.
On every farm poultry should not
only have a place, but prominent
place.
The Indian Runner duck is not in
cIined TO fatten so readily as other
varieties.
If you overcrowd your chicks either
by day or night, you are facing GER
tain trouble.
See that all poultry have shade
from the hot sun. and fresh, cool
water to drink.
Don't try to raise more chicks than
you can take care Of. 1t will lower
the chances of success.
Sell the culls at once before the
market drops any lower. 1t is money
in your pocket to do so.
Healthy. strong and vigorous breed
ing stock is necessary for quick grow
ing, profitable market birds.
All of your preparations for win
ter should be completed by this time.
If not, do so at once for the welfare
of the hens,
Prevention means attention to all
details: it means regularity; it means
comfort: 1t means system; in short,
1t means foresight.
Disease is transmitted through the
drinking water in a great many cases.
hence it is important that the zkscks
have plenty of pure water.
Your geese are ready for the mar
ket when the tips of their wings reach
their tails. This is usually when they
are about ten weeks of age.

FEEDING AND CARE OF GEESE
One of Cheapest and Easiest of All
Domestic Fowls to Raise-5frds
Fatten Quickly.

Geese are one of the cheapest and
easiest of all domestic fowls to raise.
says the Farm and Fireside. They re
quire little shelter at any time, and if
given plenty of pasture will gather the
largest portion of their food from the
fields. They are very easily and quick
ly fattened for market and bring very
good prices. Geese for breeding pur-
poses should be purchased in the fall.
This is the method for managing breed
ing and market geese: Never mate
over two females to- each gander.
Never use females less than two or
ganders over four years of age. They
are allowed to run in a pasture where
they have plenty of grass to eat and
water to swim in. In winter and dur
ing the laying season feed them light
ly the following ration: Bran, four
parts; shorts. two parts; cornmeal,
one part; and in winter cut clover,
steamed, four parts, is added. A
goose viii lay 80 to 40 eggs in a sea-
son if they are allowed to sit. The
eggs require 80 days for incubation,
and invariably hatch well. Goslings
are removed from the incubators as
soon as dry, and placed in breeders
where the heat for the first "a hours
is 80 degrees After the first "a hours
the heat is reduced daily until the
goslings are ten to fifteen days old.
Beginning the third morning after
Matching. the goslings are fed as fol
lows. four times daily, by measure:
Bran, one part. rolled oats. one part;
cornmeal shorts, one part. This mix
ture is dampened with skim milk IN
til it viii crumble. Grass, grit and
drinking water are always before
them. Water is given in fountains, so
they cannot get into it, They are
fed as mentioned until they are eight
weeks old. when those for market are
closely confined to be fattened, and
fed as follows, three times daily, all
they will eat. Bran, two parts; shorts,
one part; oil meal and beef scraps,
one part; cornmeal one part, damp
ened until it will crumble Whole corn
is frequently given. Green food, grit
and water are always before them.

of President Taft in yetoing tariff
bills passed by the present Demo
cratic house, the farmers would al
ready be experiencing the beginning
Of the distress which is certain to
Gratis are given an opportunity to en-
act free trade laws.
It is also a noteworthy and inter
esting fact that while the farmer has
been receiving high prices for his
products he has not been compelled
to pay as high in proportion for the
things which he uses upon the farm,
Statistics show that the increase in
the selling price of farm products
has been Y per cent, while the in
| crease in the cost of manufactured
articles has been only 70 per cent.
The farmer, therefore, has not been
seriously affected by the increase in
the cost of living. He has had to pay
more for some things, but he has
received so much more for the prod
ucts which he has sold that the bal.
ance is heavily in his favor
This condition of affairs must GER
tainly appeal to the farmer and con-
vince him that If he desires a con-
tinuance of the prosperity he now
enjoys he must vote for the re-elec-
ton of President Taft. He may be
dazzled by the glittering promises
held out to him by political aspirants
who oppose President Taft, but when
he sits down to reason out the stu
alton he must see that those prom
ises are nothing but words and that
the practical benefits which Presi-
dent Taft has afforded him and which
will be continued if President Taft
is reelected are better than all the
promises in the world.
For the farmer, it is a matter Of
experience against uncertainty. The
farmers of this country, who are in
telligent, sensible people, will not
hesitate in deciding that they will
vote for President Taft. In doing
this they will make their present en-
viable position secure beyond doubt
A vote cast for any other candidate
will invite a repetition of the dis
tress which during the last Democrat
ic administration rested upon every
American farm.

VITAL QUERY OF CAMPAIGN
viii the Business Men Change Ger.
tainty for Uncertainty and In
wife General Depression?

viii the business man change Ger
tainty for uncertainty?
This is the one vital question of the
present campaign. If business men
do not want repetition Of the dis
tressing times of 1898 they will vote
for the reelection of President Taft.
The decision of the question will af-
feet the business stability of the coun-
try.
President Taft has given the coun-
try a safe, honest and efficient admin
istration. He has done much to
strengthen business at home and to
extend the foreign markets. He has
faithfully and impartially administered
the laws. 1t has been his constant
endeavor to improve conditions. In
the four years of his presidency the
country has enjoyed uneXampled pros
perity and his continuance in Office
means further progress. If he should
be succeeded by a Democrat no one
can tell how far disaster will extend.
viii the business man exchange
certainty for uncertainty?
This is the vital question of the
campaign.

Second Because the White Wyan-

Of a large poultry business. They are
recognized as the best money makers
of the present time, with all having
experience. The public demands them
and it is advisable to breed what the

Third The White Wyandotte ex-
GELS in egg laying qualities. I believe
it is conceded that the White Wyan-
dottes have taken more prizes in the
egg laying contests than any other
variety, and I am quite sure they will
lay as many eggs in a year in the
climate Of Illinois as any variety l
have ever handled.
