GOOSE LAYING SEASON HERE
Advisable to Start Upon Small Scale
and Run TWO Geese With Each
Gander-Get Early Eggs.

One Of the best seasons for pur-
chasing geese is during the latter part
of the year. for then the birds have
q chance to settle down properly be-
fore the laying season, which in the
case Of geese begins at the end of
January. 1t is advisable to start
upon a small scale and to run two
geese to each gander. They should
be housed in roomy, dry foored quar-
ters that are well ventilated without
being draughty. Use dry straw as lit
ter and renew frequently.
When the birds are of the right
type the young usually take after
them in this respect, but to assure
size it is necess ssary that early eggs
be produced, forunless the young are
hatched early they have no time to
develop before the cold days are en-.
countered. The way to produce early
eggs is to see that the birds are we'll
fed during the autumn, a time when
much Of the natural food picked up
is apt to be short of nutriment.

CAREFUL FEEDING OF COLTS
Must Be Kept Growing II Best Horses
Are to Be Made of Them-Oats
Make Good Feed.

Some people seem to think that
the colts can live out in all kinds OF
weather, and thrive on any kind OF
feed that they can get. This is a
great mistake, however. Colts, like
any other young animals, must be
kept growing by careful feeding if the
best horses are to be made Of them.
Now is the time of the year to pre-
pare for feeding and sheltering the
colts. Make preparations to feed
them little, gradually increasing the
amount as the grass becomes shorter
Fix a small inclosure In the pasture
where the colts run, so that they cGE
run under the rails at a gap, but
mares will be excluded.
If the inclosure is made near the
sailing or watering place the mares
will no: be so liable to toll the colts
away before they are through eating.
Oats, with O little bran mixed in
them, make an excellent feed. Feed
once day, and lightly at first. In a
little while they can be fed twice
daily and will eat quart Of feed a
day.

ECONOMY OF STEEL WHEELS
Seems to Have Large Measure OF
Common Sense Back Of Claims
Advanced In Its Favor.

The agricultural college and expert
ment station of the University Of
Wyoming has proved the value of
steel wheels to it's complete satisfac-
ton, and in q recent bulletin one Of
the experts of that institution said:
"Low, wide-tired steel wheels will
give any farmer better equipment for
his work. Under all conditions Of
the field and nearly all conditions of
the road it is estimated that broad
tired steel wheels pull from 80 to
100 per cent. lighter than the narrow
tires"
The steel wheel for farm use seems
to have large measure Of common
sense back Of the claims that have
been advanced in favor OF 1t.
From the standpoint Of convenience
the farm wagon that has been made
over into low-down vehicle with
wide steel tires has strong appeal.
It is easily loaded and overcomes all
the objections to high wagons Of the
old type.
Users of steel wheels say their
economy cannot be denied, as they
make much lighter draft, are there
fore easier on the team, and, more
over, soon pay for themselves in the
elimination of tire troubles, SO com
mon to wood wheels.
Their practical value is further
youched for in the experiences OF
those who find that wide-tired steel
wheels do not cut up the pastures,
do not become "mired" in soft fields
or muddy roads, and do not cause the
heavy pulls that "rutty" roads have
always meant for narrow tires.

ONE PRACTICE is WAsTEFUl
BY Burning Corn Stalks Farmer Is De.
stroying His Land-Much Benefit
In Flowing Under.
Ry B. E. LARA.)

It always makes me feel sad to see
the smoke rising from the burning
corn stalks in the field, because the
farmer is burning up his land and
doesn't know it. How can we expect
to burn up stock which the soil pro.
duces and put nothing back in the
way Of humus and then hope to keep
our soil in good condition? Maybe
I'm wrong when say that farmers do
not know what they're doing, for
doubtless some of them do know that
it is bad practice, but burning stalks
Is easier than discing or cutting them
up and they are a nuisance to plow
under. Some farmers say there is no
benefit in plowing under stalks. but
cannot figure 1t out that way because
| do not see how we can go on rob-
bing our soil and keep up the fertility.
1t costs very little to keep a sheep
and flock of so sheep is worth
money.

WINE VS.. WATER.

Why does wine dry the mouth? Be-
cause the alcohol in 1t absorbs wa
ter.
Why does water moisten the mouth?
BECAUSE the skin takes It In.
Why does wine burn the stomach!
Because the alcohol in 1t dries up all
the water it can find IN 1t.
Why does water cool the stomach?
Because the stomach in doing Its
work gets warmer than the wa
ter.
Why does wine tire the heart? Be
cause the alcohol In it makes the
heart beat faster.
Why does water help the heart! Be
cause it cools the blood.
Why does wine disease the blood?
Because the alcohol thickens 1t.
Why does water make the blood
good? 1t washes It.
Why does wine redden the eyes!
It burns them.
Why does water brighten them? 1t
rests them.
Why does wine madden the brain!
Because the alcohol in the wine burns
it.
Why does water cool the brain. Be-
cause it keeps the blood cool which
flows to the brain.
Why does wine maye thirst? Be-
cause the alcohol in it dries every
part Of the body.
Why does wine make thirst? Be
cause it gives what every part Of the
body needs.
Why is wine costly? Because 1t Is
difficult to make, and because men
who sell it want to grow rich fast.
Why Is water freeo Because it Is
the gift Of God.
