The Embden- White China were
the easiest to pick, were white when
dressed, and though small, were
plump and presented an attractive ap-
pearance. The Embden-African were
also easy to pick and were large and
plump. The White China, though the
weakest and smallest of all breeds.
when mated with Hmbden ganders
produced vigorous. Quickrgrowing gos-
nngs which were plump and solid
when dressed. The Embden- Toulouse
Is regarded as the most satisfactory
cross for large geese for Christmas
trade. Pure African and Embden and
African crosses grow best early fn the
season and should be marketed early.
Pure bred China, African-Toulouse,
and African-Brown China should be
dressed before fall, IN order that they
may be easy to pick
Whiteplumaged Embden and White
crosses may be picked easily and later
than the others.
Old geese lay greater number of
larger eggs and are more reliable
than young geese. Young ganders are
better for breeding than young geese.
Young geese do not hay as many fer
tile eggs or produce as many goslings
the first breeding season as they do
the second. ~ geese are often
changed from one place to another
they are apt not to breed we'll. and
the other conditions being equal they
breed better the third season they are
In a locality than the second.
In order to insure the best results,
geese for breeding should be obtained
as early In the fall as possible, not
later than October. Breeding geese

Poultry Head Louise.

The head louise attacks young
chicks generally before they are feath-
cred out, and is first found on the
head with It's claws or feeders sunk
into the skin Of the head. As they
become more numerous, they attack
the throat and neck as well. The rem
edy Is simple, but 1t takes a little
time. Each chick must have its head
creased with lard. cottonseed oil or
olive oil. You will have to look
closely to see these insects. They are
very destructive to chickens and must
be controlled or exterminated II the
chick is to be healthy-A. c. Smith.

ECONOMY MEMBERS
HOLD A CONFERENCE

Washington. Feb. 1.-THE general
problem of democratic appropriations
was taken up last night in a confer
ence Of democratic advocates of econ
omy. The action of the house naval
affairs committee when the democrats
after an all day conference. failed to
reach an agreement to cut down the
146 million to be carried by the naval
appropriation bill, was the principal
subject of discussion by the 60 MEM
bers of the souse who are determined
upon economy.
The party leaders are greatly dis
turbed by the split in the house on
the question of appropriations. The
appropriation bills, according to Rep
resentative Fitzgerald, chairman of
the appropriation committee, will
place the country's expenditures at a
point higher than has yet been reach
ed and economy advocates declare
that the appropriations of this con-
gress will be at least 100000, 900
over the billion mark.
The democrats who are opposed to
the two battleship program declared
that unless the amount carried by
the naval bill is materially reduced
they will prosecute filibuster which
will prevent the passage of the bill
at this session.

CASH REGISTER MEN
GUILTY ON THREE COUNTS

Cincinnati, o., Feb. 14.-"Guilty as
charged in all three counts of the
Indictment" was the verdict render
ed here by the jury trying the case
of John H. Patterson and the 2s
other officials or former officials of
the National Cash Register company
who were charged by the government
with violating the criminal section OF
the Sherman antitrust law.
The indictments were returned Feb
ruary IL, 1912, after a long search for
evidence by special agents of the gov
ernment.
The three counts specified in the
indictments were first conspiracy to
monopolize trade in the cash register
business second, monopolizing the
trade in the cash register business
and third, maintaining this monopoly
between 1909 and 1912.

D TO-DAY Is THE TIME
B TO SEND A VALENTINE
, . . . . . . %%~><><
"Roses are red. violets are blue,

"Roses are red, violets are blue,
Sugars sweet and so are you"
Today is Valentine day, the day Of
all days for the bashful swain, for he
has but to buy five cent post caro-
and mail it to the lady of his favor to
be relieved of the embarrassment of
declaring his love by word of mouth.
The above rhymelet served the pur-
pose in the days of our fathers and,
while its plainness and simplicity
makes it unapplicable in this day and
age, a cursory perusal of the verses
which adorn the 1913 valentines prove
that the spirit of the occasion is the
same as of yore.
The day is sacred to st. Valentine,
a Roman martyr who was imrisoned
and finally beheaded at the command
of Emperor Claudius because he re-
fused to give up Christianity and re-
turn. Before his execution, which
occurred on February IA, he convert
ed and baptized the daughter of the
man who had been commissioned with
the task of reclaiming the churchman
to the worship of idols.
