GEESE MONEY MAKERS.
Many Farmers Devote All Their At
tention to the Hen.

More and more our farmers are be-
coming interested in the poultry bust
ness, and the hen now reigns supreme
on many farms. Nearly all seem to
devote their attention to the chickens
exclusively, thus making the oppor-
tunity for obtaining good returns from
geese all the better.
believe that many will find it
profitable to give this line of work a
trial. writes an Ohio farmer in the
Farm Progress. Many seem to have
gained the impression that geese are
hard to raise. but 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.
When hatchcd the goslings are
taken from the hen, and placed in a
warm box for a couple of days. After
that they are taken out to spot
where there is plenty of tender grass
and given 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 greens is all they require, and
tn feeding of other stuff will soon
cause bowel trouble and death
Neither do geese require running wa
ter or large ponds, as many believe.
Just enough water for drinking pur-
poses are sufficient
prefer the White Emboden or
large Toulouse geese. as they are
lar"er, NOR hardy and reach maturity
in less time At two months of age
they are nearly grown and full feath-
cred except the wings As soon as
tke feathers are free from blood in
the quilts the geese may be picked
and il they were hatehed 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 is a very small item
thereafter the feathers are nearly all

Proper Time to Sell Hogs.

As \ general proposition, II seldom
pays To carry hogs long after they
are ready for market Feeders who
have held their hogs for a 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 feeding
is risky speculation. because they
cannot be carried along without ex-
pensive grain feed. iIavy feeding can
be continued probably to growing
pigs as long as supplement feeds are
fed along with fat put on by the corn.
In this way so to POO pound hogs can
be continued on full feed to a weight
of POO pounds or more and pay large
profits.

At the Grand on Wednesday, Janu-
airy Is. the Aborn Opera company will
be seen in Its much talked of Part
sian version of Balfe's greatest work,
"The Bohemian Girl" That music
lovers and theater goers generally ap-
prove Of the innovations introduced
by Milton and Sargent Aborn in their
highly spectacular revival of this fa-
vorite opera is best attested to by the
universally complimentary reviews
given to It by the newspaper writer's
Of the country. To those who have
seen 1t only as It was presented pre-
vious to last season. 1t would seem
entirely out Of place to introduce a

those that have seen both the old
and the Aborn version have wondered
why these seeming incongrulties have
not always been parts Of THE Pohe-

ASK RIGHT 70 DIVERT
waters OF ARKANSAS
TULSA CAPITALISTS PROPOSE TO
GENERATE 1900 HORSE
POWER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan 10
Tulsa capitalists, represented by At
torney c, p, Chenault, of Tulsa, have
asked congress to pass an act per-
mitting the use and divergence of the
water Of the Arkansas river 60 miles
northwest of Tulsa in the Usage ma
ton, for the purpose of creating
hydro-electric power to supply Okla
homa City, Tulsa, Muskogee, Vinita
and other cities in Oklahoma with
cheap electrical power.
Mr.. Chenault Is now in Washington
and will appear before the house
committee on interstate and foreign
commerce to urge the passage of the
bill introduced sometime ago by Con-
gressman James S. Davenport, per-
mitting the use of the Arkansas river
Tho company proposes to generate
AZ, 900 horsepower, by divertng the
Arkansas river at Ok Bow bend, the
river at that point being 105 feet high
cr than where the water is again re-
turned to the river. The river at the
point where the hydro electric plant
will be built is six miles wide. Another
site has also b cen found by the en-
gineers where an additional plant can
be erected at little cost. At the sec
ond point there is a fall of 50 feet IN
the river, which makes It an ideal To-
cation for huge water power plant.
1t is estimated that the two plants
will cost $4,000. while the transmits
sion lines will involve an additional
cost of 100000. Both projects have
been passed upon by competent engl-
neers and have been found to be both
feasible and practicable.
