No DRINK. MORE GROCERIES.

NO DRINK, MORE GROCERIES.
A temperance city means a marked
increase in the grocery trade, says the
Nashville (Tenn) Banner Such is
the consensus of opinion among the
larger stores; and to a majority Of
the small establishments in the resi-
Dental districts the change has meant
much more prosperity than the open
saloon allowed them. Credit accounts,
long overdue, paid up, more cash pay
ments and larger trade in the staples
is the record since the passing of the
saloon. When questioned, only those
who had maintained saloon anneXes
in connection with their grocery stores
bemoaned the passing of the saloon,
and even they admitted that the
change had meant more grocery bust
ness. The remainder were emphatic
in their declarations that the closing
of the drink shops had meant so much
to them that they would fight their
return with all vigor.

HOW TO TELL SEX IN GEESE
Male in Most Cases Is Larger Than
Female-NeVer Look for Curled
Feather in Tails.
CIV N. A. BARTLETT1

By N. A. BARTLETT)
1t 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 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.
1t 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 a curled feather in
their tails or other outside marks for
there are none.
The male is holder and vicious and
if cornered in some small place will
show fight to protect his mate

EFFECT OF FEED ON FLAVOR
Hens Fed heterogeneous Ration Pro
duced Eggs of DisagreeabIe
Taste and Small YoIk.

Some years ago the Cornell station,
in the effect of heterogeneous VS.. car
bonaceous food for poultry, reported
observations on the different rations
on the flavor of eggs One lot of
fowls was fed a 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 laid fewer eggs
than those fed the heterogeneous ration,
but tie eggs were larger. The eggs
produced by the heterogeneous ration
were of disagreeable flavor and
smell, had small yoIk, and did not
keep well The 1esh of the poultry
fed this ration, however, was darker,
more succulent and tender than that
Of the fowls fed the carbonaceous ra-
ton.
