HOW TO TELL SEX IN GEESE
Male In Most Cases 10 Larger Than
Female-Never Look for Curled
Feather In Tails.
(By N. A. BARTLETT.)

(By N. A. BARTLETT)
II Is not an easy thing to tell the
sex In geese.
When they are six or seven months
old one can usually tell by observa-
ton the geese from the gander.
The male in most cases grows
larger than the female.
The female has a deeper body, SLIM
mer neck and smaller head.
The call OF the gander is long, loud
and shrill, while that Of the goose
is merely an answer to It.
It is a good plan to divide the flock
part on one side OF the fence and part
on the other when trying to dis
tinguish the sex when you can dis
tinguish most of the ganders by their
calls.
Never look for curled feather in
their tails or other outside marks for
there are none.
The male is bolder and vicious and
II cornered in some small place will
show fight to protect his mate.

tending six inches down from the top,
which should ordinarily be left uncov-
cred, but there should be a curtain TO
drop over 1t In bad weather. The bal
sace OF the side should be hinged so 1t
can be thrown open during the day,
admitting sunshine and fresh air.
The "A" shaped colony house Is
not SO easily cleaned as some Of the
others.
Most colony houses average about
s by feet in size, with shed roof and
large wire covered window with cur
tain in front. This type should be
built on skids, so that they can be
easily dragged to new ground with the
aid OF horse, and, II tightly built,
houses OF this sort can be used for lay
ers and also breeders in the winter by
the addition Of nests, hoppers, etc.
A word about placing the house.
Choose well drained ground that is
covered with heavy, sweet sod. An
old orchard is almost ideal, as the
trees furnish shade during the hot
summer days. Clean away any brush
piles or thickets which might harbor
vermin, and II the same ground must
be used year after year lime 1t, plow
It down each fall and SOW with some
suitable crop which will afford green
pasture for the growing birds.

EFFECT OF FEED ON FLAVOR

Taste and Small Yoik.

Some years ago the Cornell station,
in the effect Of nitrogenous VS.. car
bonaceous food Tor poultry, reported
observations on the different rations
on the flavor of eggs. One lot of
fowls was fed mixture of wheat,
shorts, cotton-seed meal and skim
milk; another lot cracked corn and
corn dough. The former ration con-
tanned much more nitrogen than the
latter.
The hens fed corn laic fewer eggs
than those fed the nitrogenous ration,
but the eggs we're larger. The eggs

After the brooder, before the laying
house, what then? The colony house
Is the answer. Chicks are generally
ready to leave the brooder at about six
weeks of age-that is, when fully
feathered. They are then able to take
care OF themselves during the day
time, and, except on cold, rainy days,
the question OF artificial heat is not
vital.
There are several types of colony
houses, but all should have the follow
ing features: Perfectly dry, freedom
from drafts, well ventilated. easy to
clean and move (this latter should be
done every season., and, lastly, they
should be attractive, but inexpensive.
Don't crowd the chicks In the colony
house. Remember, they will be al
most grown before they are moved
again. Have perches removable, and
do not allow the chicks to roost until
their bones have hardened up consid-
erably, or they may have crooked
breast bones. When roosts are given,
have them at least two inches wide.
For small fiocks suitable colony
houses may be made from large store
boxes by covering the top and three
sides with tar paper. the other side
being made of cellar window wire ex-

START IN POULTRY BUSINESS
Select Good Foundation Stock and
Erect Comfortable Buildings
Fowls Need Free Range.

A few things to remember In start
ing, IL a living is to be the objective
point in keeping poultry, are: Select
a good location, as TO ground con-
ditions, markets, etc. Choose good
foundation stock Build well, though
this need not be expensive; but poorly
constructed buildings are a loss in
the long run, and false economy.
Start slowly d work up gradually.
Have enough cash on hand to carry
the poultry operation for at least two
years. Don't purchase a place with
too small acreage. At least five acres
should be purchased, although many
successful poultry plants are operated
on three. II takes more care to keep
the land in condition. Free range for
growing stock is essential in the long
run. Rather have too much room than
too little. Study carefully the incu-
bator and brooding systems. This is
one OF the main items In the busi-
ness. Study the poultry situation at
least year before commencing,
Visit the leading poultry operations
that have been in the business for at
least five or six years. One can learn
a good deal by Visiting the successful
poultry keepers, and will be less liable
to make mistakes in poultry house
construction. Carefully entering the
business in safe and sane way Will
do much toward the success of the
venture.

TAKE CARE OF THE BRooDER
Material Used for Floor Covering
Should Be Changed Every other
Day--Prevent Crowdlna.

Brush out the brooders every other
day, changing the material used in
floor covering. This may be of bran,
sand, sawdust or paper. but must be
dry. Damp bedding induces disease
every time.
When it is necessary to wash the
brooder choose a warm, sunny day,
so that the chicks will not need 1t, and
1t can be thoroughly dried before re-
turning them at night. If these condi-
tons cannot be complied with. TEN.

POOR PRACTISE OF FARMERS
Department Of Agriculture InVestlga-
tors Recommend Incubator Eggs
Be Used at Home.

The mixing of incubator eggs with
the fresh spring eggs leads the egg
packers, who get their principal cold
storage supply in the spring, to cut
the price they pay the farmer, depart
ment OF agriculture investigators find
The spring eggs designed for keeping
for winter consumption must be abso-
lutely good. Moreover, the egg pack
ars in she spring do not candle eggs,
but hold them three at time In the
hand and clink them to discover any
crack and then judge their freshness
by their fresh powdery look on the
shell. The mixture of infertile incu-
bator eggs with fresh eggs interferes
seriously with this clinking and forces
the packer to candle the eggs. He
then deducts this added expense from
the price he offers to the producer.
Eggs which have once been subjected
to the heat OF the incubator cannot be
stored, even though frozen.
The farmer who sells incubator eggs
to the dealer, therefore. is very liable
to injure his own market for fresh
eggs. When dealers find percentage
OF low-grade incubator or other eggs
in their fresh spring egg supply they
lower the price for all eggs so that
they will be certain that they have
covered themselves against losses from
this cause. The departments special
lists advise farmers to use any infer
tile eggs they may take from their In
cubators for home consumption and to
send only fresh eggs to market.

There is no fowl that can be raised
