PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
While Fattening Young Fowls They
Should Be Kept Free From All
EXciten1ent-Keep in Pen.

The first feed for goslings is grass,
fed on sod; a small allowance of corn
meal. slightly moistened, is also given
them. Sand and charcoal are some
times mixed with the corn meal. They
are fed on the above food three times
a day for a couple of days, when they
are given a ration composed of equal
parts, by measure, of bran, middlings,
and steamed cut clover or cooked
vegetables. This feed is given them
morning, noon, and night until they
are eight weeks old, when they are
penned to be fattened for market at
ten weeks old.
To fatten young geese, place them
"a a pen, not too large, so that they
will not exercise too much, and feed
three times a day all they will eat
up clean of the following: Corn meal
mixed to a dry, crumbly state, and
beef scraps amounting to 20 per cent
of the bulk of the corn meal. While
fattening young geese they should be
kept as quiet as possible; no excite
ment whatever should disturb them.
When feeding approach them quietly,
and do not irritate them in the least
or they will not fatten, but will throw
out" or grow another crop of feathers.
At ten weeks of age, or when the tips
of the wings reach the tail, they are
ready for market and should weigh
between eight and ten pounds.
When young goslings are to be
dressed for market, they are killed by
cutting them in the roof of the mouth,
severing the artery, or by stunning
them by hitting them a sharp, quick
blow on the head. The picker uses a
box in front of him about the height
of the knees, holding the bird with the
left hand and clasping the feet and
wings together; he places the head Of
the bird against the box and holds it

ERADICATE THE RO0ST MITE
Insects Are Easily Exterminated by
Use of Kerosene OiI-Prevention
Better Than Cure.

(By A. c. SMITH, Poultryman. Univer-
sity Farm, st. Paul, Minn.)
Roost mites are very common and
troublesome. When they become num-
erous enough, they not only infest
the nests but other parts Of the build
ing, especially cracks and crevices, as
we'll as the roosts. They are much
like tiny spiders and are often called
spider lice by poultrymen.
Mites are easily exterminated by
applying kerosene to all infested parts
of the building. They become numer-
Gus as soon as warm weather comes.
AS prevention is better than cure, it
pays to paint your roosts once every
four to six weeks in winter time and
once every two weeks during the warm
weather. You will probably never see
mite in house so treated

wings at the first joint Lay the
wings against the body of the birds

in cold water for an hour or so to
plump them; if they are in the water
too long they are liable to bleach and
become water-soaked. They are then
iced up in barrels ready to ship to

Young geese should be marketed be-
fore cold weather sets in. 1t is much

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
The profits to be derived from the
good preservation of seed corn have
been put to practical tests by the Of
fee of corn Investigations of the
lifted States Department of Agri-
culture. The cuts show a building
constructed solely for the purpose of
preserving seed corn. 1t has a con-
crete basement and 1ue. Warm air
passes from the basement through
openings in the floor, ascends through
the corn, and escapes through venti-
lators.
This house was constructed at a
cost of $500, and in one year returned
to the farm $1,000 in profit, due to
five-bushel increased acre yield on 740
acres planted with seed corn dried
and stored in it. These figures were
obtained as the result of II separate
tests. The owner of the farm on
which this test was made was not
fully satisfied with it because it was
made on small plats, and he there
fore made more extensive tests. At
corn-gathering time in November he
selected two bushels of seed, placing
one bushel in crib and the other
bushel in the seed-corn dry house.
In the spring with a two-row planter
he planted four rows 1880 feet long
and 81 feet apart with tho seed kept
in the dry house; then four rows with
the seed kept in the crib. This he re-
peated seven times, making eight
tests in all in which four rows planted
with one lot of seed were compared
with the adjoining four rows planted
with the other lot of seed. At har-
vest time four rows yielded a wagon
load of ears, which constituted
weighing. From the seed kept in the
crib there were produced 1926
pounds, while from seed kept In dry

house there were produced 1926
pounds. Each row of the latter pro-
duced uniformly more than each row
of the former.
These results are the same as in
the tests of the department where
the rows were thinned to the same
stand of stalks.
The experiments emphasize the fact
that the productiveness of the stalks
is more important than the number
Full stands can be obtained by the
heavy planting of weak seed. Good
yields cannot be obtained in this
way. The most expensive seed to
plant is that from which a stand Of
stalks can be obtained but from which
a good yield cannot be obtained.
The stand Of stalks bears the same
relation to the grain yield as the num-
Der of trees in an orchard bears to
the amount of fruit produced. Pro-

Stirring Milk to Cool It.
The importance Of stirring milk
while being cooled has been demon
strated in experiments conducted by
the United States Department Of Agri-
culture. When the cans of milk are
merely set in cold water the cooling
process is very slow, much too slow,
In fact, to be at all satisfactory to q
progressive dairyman. In particular
the milk at the top of the can above
the level OF the water is hardly af-
fected at all. The cold milk, being
heavier than the warm, will remain at
the bottom of the can, while the
warmer and lighter milk stays at the
top. Ultimately, of course, the entire
canful will acquire the same tempera-
ture, but this will require such long
period of time that for practical pur-
