Toulouse Geese.

season it is not easy at first to dis
tinguish between them, while the
young goslings long battle conjecture
as to their sex.
Yet certain distinctions gradually
manifest themselves, as for instance
the noise, the gander's hiss, being
more shrill and sibilant than the
goose's.
Newman says that when six OF
seven months of age, or at maturity.
the ganders can be told from the
geese by observation. In most cases
the male grows somewhat larger than
the female.
The goose is deeper in the body, a
trifle simmer in the neck, and smaller
in the neck. The call Of the gandsI
is loud, long and shrill, while that
of the goose is merely an answer to it
There is q curious plan to deter
mine sex adopted in Cambridgeshire
England. All the geese are shut in
a stable or pig-sty. A small dog
is then put in. 1t is said the geese
will all lift up their heads and go
to the back of the place, while the
ganders will lower and stretch Out
their necks, kissing all the time.
Gilbert refers to the same method,
saying the ganders will put their
heads down at the dog and hiss, while
the geese will keep their heads up and
try to avoid the intruder.

DUOMO OF ORV|ET0

Gothic Beauty of Structure Is Goal

At one time there was a plan to

Modern Morals.

Senator Joseph E. Ransdell was
talking in Washington about his bill
for the abolition Of divorce.
The bills obiect?" he said. TITS
object is, of course, to reduce immor-

Senator Ransdell smiled and added:
Don't take is too seriously-but
here Is an episode that throws light
on modern morals.
"A business man came home unex-

Poultry can be raised successfully
on any well-drained soil. A light loan.
which will grow good grass, is well
adapted for this purpose; while very
light, sandy soil, through which the
water teaches freely, will stand more
intensive poultry conditions, but most
Of the green feed for the fowls kept
on such a soil will have to be pur-
chased. A heavy clay or adobe soil,
is not as well adapted to poultry
raising, as such land does not drain
readily and it is much more difficult
to keep the stock healthy, says Farm
ers' bulletin 574, department Of agri-
culture.
Long stationary houses, or the in
tensiVe system, saves steps, but it is
easier to keep the birds healthy and
to reproduce the stock under the col
ony system where the birds are al
lowed free range. Breeding stock,
and especially growing chickens,
should have an abundance of range,
while hens used solely for the pro-
duction Of market eggs may be kept
on very small area with good re-
suits. The colony house system neces-
states placing the houses, holding
about one hundred hens, apart two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
feet, so that the stock will not kill
the grass. The colony system may be
adapted to severe winter conditions
by drawing the colony houses togeth-
er In a convenient place at the begin
ming Of winter, thus reducing the la
Dor during these months.
Roof and Front,
The roof is the most expensive but
a most important part of the poultry
house, and should be water-tight.
Single roofs should have a one-third
pitch, while those covered with paper
or metal may have a less pitch, or be
almost fiat; however, the greater the
slope the longer the life Of the roof.

street judged too steep and narrow

Colony House Used on Government
Poultry Farm.

The shed or single-slope roof is adapt
ed to houses up to sixteen feet in
width. 1t is one of the easiest styles
to construct. 1t allows high front
to the house, and furnishes a north
ern slope for the roof on which roofing
paper will last longer than on a roof
which faces the south.
The combination and semi-monitor
roofs are adapted for the buildings
from sixteen to twenty-four feet wide,
while either Of these styles, or the
monitor and the gable roof, may be
used for wider buildings. The COM
bination roof on house over sixteen
feet wide gives the best head room
at the least cost, reduces the amount
of surplus air space, and gives a neat
appearance to the buildings; while
the semi-monitor and monitor types
are best for wide houses which have
central alley, particularly brooder
houses.
The semi-monitor house usually
faces south while the monitor type
of roof is frequently used on build
ings facing east or west. The gable
roof is used extensively for two-story
buildings, for brooder houses, and for
incubator cellars. This style Of root
Is usually ceiled at or slightly above
the caves, or the globe may be filled
with straw or some kind of absorbent
material, which tends to keep such
houses dry and warm. The A-shaped
roof is used for growing coops ant
colony houses which, with wall Is
inches high, provides a large amount
of floor space with minimum amount
of lumber; but increases the roof sur

The fresher the eggs for Matching
the better will be the hatch.
Are the quarters provided for the
chickens clean and sanitary?
i
A well ventilated cellar is the best
place to operate the incubator.
Sprout your light oats for green
food. The hens like them best that
way.
IL several hens are set In one room
1t is desirable to confine them in good
nests.
Too many people, especially novices,
think it essential to build costly pouk
try houses.
For fattening old or young chick
ems, nothing beats wet mash of corn
meal and milk.
The best results in natural hatch
ing will be obtained when the hens
are set ON the ground.
Don't forget to hatch a few hen
eggs under hens. They will make big.
vigorous breeders when mature.
Free range chickens are never SO
tender for roasting as those with linn
tied range and fed on pure feed.
All eggs should be tested by the
seventh day. which often makes il
possible to reset some of the hens.
Keep chronic setting hen from
feeling any warmth under her body
and you will break her of the habit.
| The humble hen Is a big factor in
the profits of the farm, but she needs
attention just as much as anything
else.
The best place for the incubator
is the one where the temperature is
most nearly uniform from day to day
under natural conditions.
Be mighty careful to see that your
setting hen is not overrun with lice
In producing louse-free chicks the in
cubator certainly has it on the hen.
|
It is always the hen that lays the
most eggs that produces the most
chicks. In breeders. high fertility is
more to be desired than high produc
tion.

TELLING THE SEX OF GEESE
Not Easy Matter to Make Distinction
In Toulouse Variety as Birds
Are All of Same Color.

II is not an easy thing to distin-
guish the sex of geese, especially Of
the Toulouse variety. Both sexes are
the same in color. but'in this variety
the male or gander is somewhat
larger, has a larger head, longer neck,
and carries himself more erect.
The voice of the female is coarser
than that of the male, point that
is relied upon quite generally by e1-
perienced growers of these fowls.
Gilbert says there is an embarrass-
ing likeness between the gander and
the goose, and out of the breeding
