PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Closer Fowls Are Confined, If Allowed
Sufficient Room for Exercise,
Better They Are.

A goose that is being fattened for
market should never be permitted to
swim in the water or to wander any
distance. The closer they are con-
fined, as long as they have pen for
sufficient exercise, the better table
poultry they make. To keep them
clean while being fattened, cover the
floor of the building in which they
stay at night with thick covering Of
straw. Remove this in the morning
with pitchfork, either into the air
or sunlight where it will dry. Thor
oughly scrape the floor, and cover it
with dry sand or earth; as night APP
proaches throw down the bedding
again, and in this way they can be
kept perfectly clean, and under these
conditions they will improve much
faster.
When the time comes for selling
them, the geese should be confined in
a limited space, provided with a
building for shelter only, plenty OF
water to drink, and be fed all they
will eat of dry mash made of one
half cornmeal, one-fourth bran and
middlings, the balance of ground oats.

'RAP-NEsTING is ADVOCATED
Only Certain Method of Separating
Good Layers From the Poor Is to
Keep Daily Records.

That the only sure way to know
work and which are not earning
their keep" is by using the trap-nest,
Is the belief Of Prof. James Dryden of
the poultry husbandry department Of
the Oregon agricultural cullege.
High egg production is not a char
acteristic of any one breed of fowls"
says Professor Dryden. "The trap-nest
has demonstrated this. There is no
particular shape or type that indicates
good laying qualities, so far, at any
rate, as our present knowledge goes.
THE only certain method of sepa-
rating the good layers from the poor
is to use the trap-nest and keep a
daily record of eggs laid It is not al
ways the fault of the feed and care
that they don't do better. 1t is the
misfortune of the hen herself very
often; she couldn't lay if she want
ed to.
1t requires considerable time to
keep a trap-nest record of flock of
hens. Not every farmer has the time,
but If few farmers in every county
would trap-nest a flock of hens, in a
few years all the farmers of the coun-
ty would very likely have stock that
were from heavy-laying, trap-nested
fowls. Where it is possible for a
farmer to devote a little time to II
each day he will be well repaid for
the labor.
THE Oregon experiment station is
trap-nesting a large flock each year
and it is doing the best it can to fur.
nish the farmers of that state with
stock from good layers, with the OBJ
ject of increasing the egg yield in the
state. 1t is desirable, of course, tc
keep full years record for each hen
but If that is not possible, a record
for part of the year would be valu
able. For instance, record of the
first six months of laying, beginning
probably in November, would show
which were the good winter produ

With a high wind blowing and nc

as extremely perilous. AS soon a;

lanterns were sent after them t.

GREAT HORSE POWER
OF u. S. MOTORS
OufsfrIDs the Total Power from Every
Other Source in the United States
An Expert Declares.

Though thes average man realize
that the rise Of the automobile is abSo-
lutely unprecedented in the industrial
history Of the world, very few people
have any definite idea OF Just what this
rise amounts to in figures. A paper
recently read before the metropolitan
section OF the Society OF Automobile
Engineers and based on the best au-
thOrity Obtainable, bears the startling
information that today the HORSEPOWER
developed by automobile engines is
greater than that generated in all the
commercial steam power plants in the
country Sixteen million horsepower
is the total given for the steam plants.
while a conservative compilation gives
the horsepower generated by autOmO-
total is arrived at by taking SIS, 600
rs the total number Of automobiles in
use today and 90 as the average horse
power for all these motors. Both the
ugures are considered extremely con-
sentative by automobile experts.
While steam has long been and stfl
IS considered one of mans best friends
for carrying on the manufacturing
business Of the world. and practically
every commercial plant in the United
states depends on steam for its power.
Ihe automobile has Tar Outstripped it
steam has been employed for more
than 100 years. or since James Watt
began to utilize the tremendous power
Of the vapOr in a practical way. On
the other hand, the high-sDeed Gas
until the automobile industry was
launched, only about IS years ago. But
in that very short period the latter
has taken a big lead.
There IS really little to wonder at in
this condition. however. when one re-
fleets on the extent to which the man
velOped.
