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 a thick covering Of
straw. Remove this in the morning
with a 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 ap-
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 mace of one
half cornmeal, one-fourth bran and
middlings, the balance of ground oats,

TRAP NESTING IS ADVOCATED
t9nsy Certain Method OF Separating
Coed Layers From the Poor ~ 20
(; Keep Daily Reeorda

; That the only sure way to know
which hens In flock are doing the
work and which are not earning
their keep" is by using the trap-nest,
Ia the belief Of Prof. James Dryden OF
the poultry husbandry department OF
the Oregon agricultural cvflege.
High egg production is not char
acteristic of any one breed Of fowls,
says Professor Dryden. S"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 q
daily record of eggs laid 1t is not al
ways the fault of the feed and care
ahat they don't do better. 1t is the
misfortune CT 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 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 it
each day he will be well repaid for
the labor.
The Oregon experiment station is
trap-nesting 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, to
keep full years record for each hen,
but if that is not possible, 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,

through it. Really, the most practical
way of getting rid of a small patch Of
Canada thistles is to go over it every
week and cut of all leaves below the
surface Of the ground. If conscien-
tious job Of this is done for the sum-
mer, the thistles will not bother much
the next year, although it is best to
keep an eye open for them and cut
them off regularly. A careful job
must be done, for If the leaves are
allowed to grow very long in the sun.
shine enough energy will be stored up
in the roots to hold the pest over fol

Never allow the carcasses of birds

cay. Either SuIy them good and deep
or, better still, burn them. If you have

ESTIMATED CROP
 I3,677,O00 BALES

The equivalent of I3,67l,OOO bales 'of 5O0-pound weight is the estimate of the United States Department of Agriculture on the cotton crop of 1913, announced at ? p. m., Washing ton time, today. The estimate, which is always watched with much interest by the cotton trade, was considerably under average expectations, but the market responded only slightly to the bullish figures, closing about 10 points higher
 The estimate is given in pounds of lint cotton, which divided by 300 gives the number of bales. As the average weight of bales is six or seven pounds over 800, the actual estimated crop would be about one and half per cent less than 13,677O0O, or 13,572,OOO bales. To the commercial crop, how ever, will be added probably a halc million bales of linters and re-packs, which are not included in the gove- ernment estimate.

Report Of Forestry Committee

Natchitoches, La,
March 31st, 1913.

Natchitoches, La,
March 31st, 1913.
The Forestry Committee has just
begun to work, and while not very
much has been done this club year,
still we believe that this field of
work has been opened up and an
interest in planting trees aroused
throughout the town.
We have sent to eacn of our
Congressman a resolution adopted
by the club asking that thew use
their influence to keep the forests
in the hands of Federal rather
than State government.
The committee asked each mcr-
chant to plant tree or trees in
front of his place of business on
Front Street and box same. 1t is
very gratifying to the committee
to see now a row of box elder
trees extending the entire length
of the business street. The bust
ness men RESPONDED most willingly
and have promised to replant in
case these do not grow.
The local press has greatly aided
the Foresty Committee in urging
through its columns, the planting
of trees and all over town you
may see young trees where there
were none before.
Our committee has also aided
the Village Improvement Com
mittee in taking care of the Amer
lean graveyard and plans are on
foot now to make this a beautiful
spot.
We called on the Mayor and
asked that this cemetery be closed
to all except those already having
enclosures and also asked that the
city provide another burying
place for white and colored people.
He very kindly promised to grant
our request and as soon as possible
to have fenced plot of ground
already provided for this purpose,
to be used as public cemetery.
Respectfully submitted,
Mrs Il. w. WINsTEAD,
Chairman Forestry Committee
