The raising of geese is necessarily
small scale. This is due to the re-
quirements of the birds with regard
to range and also to their breeding
habits and the expense connected
with maintaining a large establish
ment for rearing them.
Geese are the most homogeneous OF
all domestic fowls, so that It follows
that large number of expensive gan
ders would be necessary for conduct
ing the business on any extensive
scale. AS a rule ganders mate with
only two or three, rarely four, geese.
Geese require extensive range They
thrive on green pasturage and water,
even without the addition OF other
food to their diet. It is practically
impossible to rear goslings without a
liberal supply OF green vegetable food,
such as clover. roots. cabbage, etc.
Geese have no crops, like hens. and
Sirkeys, and as a result they require
more soft feed, and food should be
given at more frequent intervals.
Geese do not become fully mature
until the second or third season. and
good results of breeding should not
be expected from younger birds.
Under favorable conditions they
live to an extremely old age. fire.
quently ranging from 90 to rs years,
and instances are recorded where
they have exceeded 100 years Of age.
Good geese may be profitably kept
for breeding purposes until 25 years OF
age, but ganders should not be kept
past years. They should then be
replaced by younger birds.
Two common breeds OF geese, the
Embden and Toulouse, are descended
from the Graylag goose of Europe,
and the brown and white China geese
are thought to have descended from
the wild goose OF Asia.
A great improvement in weight has
been accomplished during domestica-
ton, the wild geese of Europe weigh
ing usually about ten pounds, while
the weight Of 35 pounds has been at.
tanned by domestic geese.
The wild Canada goose is easily do
mesticated, and the ganders mate
with domestic geese. The crosses thus
obtained are known as mongrels and
are sterile. They are very highly
priced in the market and bring larger
prices than any other geese. The
rearing of the wild Canada goose or
fits crosses is accomplished with con.
siderable difficulty, and can only be
accomplished after some experience,
In breeding mongrels. one wild
gander should be mated with single

GOOD CARE IN HOT WEATHER
Constant Attention Must Be Given
That Hens and Young Chickens
Have Plenty Fresh Water.

During the spring and summer
months constant care must be taken
TO see that the hens and young chick
ems have plenty Of water and shade.
says writer In the Iowa Homestead.
The hens cannot manufacture eggs
without a liberal supply of water, as
a large per cent. Of eggs Is composed
OF water. The growing flock, too, will
not develop properly If half famished
from thirst. This may mean no win
ter eggs from the pullets.
II one would take the best care of
the flock he should give II fresh water
In the morning and just after noou.
The water that stands In fountain
very long becomes stale and UNI
healthy. Water should always be
pure and the vessels clean. 1t is wise
to keep the water vessels in the shade
OF the house or trees all the day.
This leads to the important question
Of shade. No fowls will do well in
warm weather without sufficient
shade. have made it special point
to notice my hens in the summer, and
l nave discovered That along toward
the middle Of the day they will seek
shelter from the suns hot rays. They
will either retire to the shade of a
tree or the shelter OF the poultry
house. They prefer to get away from
the house II they can find suitable
shade elsewhere. II no trees are
growing in the yard and there are no
bushes or shrubbery of any kind
where the flock may find shade II
will be well to construct an artificial
shade by setting posts into the
ground, one at each corner of par
allelogram plot Nail crosspieces to
these and place boards on them. Here
the hens may find retreat from the hot
sun.

THOMAS PUTS
ATTELL In THE
HAS BEEN CLASS

The bout between Abe Attell and
Harry Thomas, the English crack. at
Madison Square Garden, New York
last night, had two results. Attell is
now in the has-heen class and the
fight game in New York seems TO be
on a sounder basis.
From the tap of the gong in the
first round Abe put forth his best eff
forts to retrieve his somewhat dam
aged reputation. He fought cleverly
and showed that helwas after Thom-
es' scalp every minute. As the bout
progressed, however. the former
champion slowed down fercepuibly
while his opponent, encouraged by
Abe's waning vitality, put on extra
steam and wound up with a decisive
victory.
1T was, in my opinion, a pure and
simple boxing exhibition and a con
test that might be conducted In any
respectable household or IN any repu-
table institution devoted to this
branch of sport If boxing Is to be
conducted under the law on this
plane IL will be conducive TO the de-
velopnHent Of athletics and at the
same time uphold the manhood OF the
American people" was the report
Sheriff Harburger who attended the
bout sent to Governor Dix.

FARRELL'S DECISION

WILKESBARRE. Sept. 14.-Mana-
ger William J. Clymer of the Wilkes
barre club refuses 70 abide by the
decision of President John H. Farrell
in deciding that Utica won the New
York State League pennant. He de-
clared that he intended carrying his
fight to the directors Of the league
and not until their decision had been
given would he be content
The Wilkesbarre Club" SAYS ely
mer. does not propose to have the
pcnnant race of 1912 decided on the
say OF John II. Farrell His private
opinion carries no weight, for he has
no power or authority to award le-
gally won or disputed pennant to
anyone. That is purely a matter for
the directors TO decide. Il cannot be
made too strong that the Wilkesbarre
club has no respect for the opinions
of President Farrell and does not in
tend TO abide by them. All he can
legally do is to gather evidence and
submit it 10 the league directors and
that he will have to DO in this cause. %
Clymer has issued his call for a

his case to the board Of directors at
a meeting to be held in Binghamton

HAND OF
DISCIPLINE
HITS M'LEAN

Long Larry Mclean is the latest
baseball star TO feel the iron hand
of discipline. The noted catcher Of
the Cincinnati Reds was suspended
indefinitely the other day by Mana
ger O'Day and packed off to Garry
Herrmanville Il appears that Nc
Lean did not show up for the game
between the Reds and Washington
Nationals at Syracuse on Monday.
ODay met him on the Empire State
Express later and gave him a sharp
call
Mclean who once said he wanted
TO fight Jack Johnson, informed the
manager that he was seriously in
clined 10 wipe up the Pullman parlor
car with him. But ODay, undisturb-
ed. put the big catcher on the sus-
pension list and bundled him home.
Within a week Chief Bender and
Rube Oldring of the Athletics and
Frank Schultz of the Cubs have been
similarly disciplined. Il was said
that when the Cubs were in Cincin-
natl there was a merry time until
Chance threatened to suspend at
least two Of the stars besides Schultz.

BOSTON RED SOX
TOSET NEW RECORD

Unless something unforeseen hap
pens from now until the end of the
season, the Boston Red sox are all
most certain of setting a new record
for games won in the American
league.
The new champions of the American
league (they can safely be called that
now have been putting up a stellar
article Of ball this season. and have
not suffered a slump. This is not
looked for from now until the close OF
the season, as the team will be able TO
take it easy from now on.
Not only have the Red Sox chance
Of setting new American league
record for games won. but also for
percentage. Right now the mark own
ed by Stahl's men is Sc points ahead
of the highest former figure, which
was accomplished by the Athletics
the same year they made the high rec
ord for contests chalked up on the
right side Of the ledger
It will take a terrible slump TO
keep the Red Sox from setting new
marks this season. A team that has
been going along playing 1874 as a
.716 clip is not likely to "go bad
enough" not 20 win at least half its
games in the next three weeks. In
fact the Red Sox can set a mark this
season that may not be beaten for
ONE years to come.
That will be done if the team con-
tinues playing at the same pace It has
all season and even should 1t travel
at .661 pace, they will have put up
a mark that will stand for a little
while at least It is impossible for
the Sox to touch the high mark OF
116 games, held by the Cubs in the Ma
tional league, but they can't keep 'em
from setting an American league high
mark.
To do anything Of this sort, the team
would have to win every game it
played from now until the end of the
season, and such thing is out of the
question. even for a team of the cali
bre of the one Jake Stahl is chap
eroning in the Ban Johnson organiza-
tiOn.

victories than the Tigers had when
they romped off with the pennant in
