More and more our farmers are be-
coming interested In the poultry
business, and the hen now retgns
supreme on many farms. Nearly al
seem to devote their attention TO the
chickens exclusively, thus making
the opportunity for obtaining good
returns from geese all the better. \
believe that many will find It
profitable to give this line OF work q

gained the impression that geese are
hard to raise. but I, do not think SO, as
experience has. shown them to be
much less bother than chickens al
ways use hens for Matching. giving
each one six eggs, and I usually get
good results. 4.
When Matched, the gosllngs are
taken from the hen, and placed In
warm box for couple of days. After
that they are taken out to spot
where there Is plenty Of tender grass
and given a shallow pan filled with
water. Do this for a few days, and
they will learn where their quarters
are. and they may then be allowed to
run where they please.
Losses are usually caused BY igno-
rance on the part OF the keeper. Cos
lings are unlike chicks, for they re-
quire little feed. Tender grasses and
similar; green's is all they require.

.PULLETS BETTER THAN HENS7
Enthusiasts Take Opposite Sides on
the Egg Laying .Aroument-Few
Good Points Given. ~


A question that Is being debated
much at present among poultrymen is
whether hens or pullets are capable
OF greater egg production. Some claim
that, while hens lay fewer eggs than
pullets, they lay larger and heavier
eggs, and because Of this fact the eggs
command a better price than those
laid by pullets. 1t is true that most
hens do lay q slightly heavier egg
than pullets, but in many sections Of
the United States eggs are sold with
out grading. and consequently the
smaller egg commands as good price
as the larger one.
Others are In favor of pullets be-
cause they lay so many eggs which,
they claim. possess better flavor
than those laid by hens. No one dis
putes the fact that pullets are better
layers than hens. iS5: RI
The eggs laid by pullets do not
hatch as well as those of hens. The
chicks from pullet eggs and not. al
a rule, nearly 50 strong and lively -
those from hen eggs. For this reason
1t seems to be advisable to use pullets
for layers and hens for breeders.

fiat, and not cooked up on edge. We,
must also use roller coulter large
and sharp enough to cut the .Quack
roots OF clean to the the bottom of
the sod. as explained by an expert in
the Farm and Home. Quack roots
are usually all In the first four or
five inches of the top soil. We do
not want to pull any OF these roots
out with dull pillow or coulter so as
to have them stick up and grow.
During the winter top dress the
ground with manure. and in the
spring seed either to oats and grass
again, or to any quick, rank-growing
crop that will come up before stray
spears of quack gets a start. Follow
the same system again, this time put
ting the p1ow down twelve inches. and
60 right on over again until you
have the plow down fourteen Or six
teen inches II necessary. In this way
we not only get rid Of the quack
grass. but we also get good deep
soil and mulch, and at the same time
we get the benefits OF sub-soiling. &

Proper Time to Sell Hogs.

AS a general proposition, 1t seldom
pays to carry hogs long after they
are ready for market. Feeders. who
have held their hogs for rise in the
market have found that the expensive
feeds wipe out all the advantages OF
a higher price later.
~ Gains must be made or profits will
be materially reduced. Light feed
ing is risky speculation, because
they cannot be carried along without
expensive grain feeds. Heavy feed
ing can be continued profitably to
growing pigs as long as supplement
feeds are fed along with the fat put
on by the corn. In this way $50 to
200 pound hogs can be continued on
full feed to weight OF. 200 pounds
or more and pay large profits.

water or large ponds, as many be-
lieve. Just enough water for drink.
ing purposes is sufficient.
d I prefer the White Emboden or large
Toulouse geese, as they are larger,
more hardy and reach maturity In
q less time. At two months Of age
they are nearly grown and full
feathered except the wings. As soon
as the feathers are free from blood
in the quilts the geese may be
picked, and II they were hatched
early they may be picked four times
before cold weather.
The feathers obtained will soon re.
pay the cost Of raising the geese
and as their keep il a very small
item. thereafter the feathers are
nearly all profit. During the past
few years geese have come to be very
popular at the holiday season and
bring prices that mean big profit.

KEEP POULTRY HOUSE CLEAN
Good Results In Matter Of Laying Can
not Be Obtained II Pullsts' Guar
tiers Are Dirty.

No use to expect the best results in
the matter Of laying II you allow your
pullets to stay in, dirty quarters, says
Coleman's Rural. Get busy with the
whitewash brush and the kerosene
spray and clean, clean, clean. Not
only inside the house, but the premises
all around it. III. 81 MS
II you have nifty pullets for your
laying bunch it will take. about two
hours to dust them, and time cannot
be better spent. Let one person hold
the pullets by the legs while the other
fires insect powder into the feathers
with a powder gun. Get it under the
wings, around the head, neck and ev-
cry place where the feathers are soft
and fine. for there Is where the mites
and lice love to ouddle and feast.
Referring to the use Of kerosene
spray, I'LL the roosts and all the cracks
around the nests and roofing with it.
for 1t is there the pestiferous mites
