GEESE PICK MOST OF LIVING
Fowls Are Generally Raised on Grass
Land or Pasture-Good Mash
for the GosIings.

Geese are generally raised where
they have good grass range or pas
ture, as they are good grazers and
usually pick most of their living, ex-
cept during the winter months and the
breeding season.
Goslings should be fed a mash OF
two parts shorts and one part corn
meal by weight, changing at the end
of three weeks to equal parts shorts
and corn meal with 8 per cent each OF
beef scrap and grit.
A fattening ration may be made OF a
mash of one part shorts and two parts
corn meal by weight with per cent
of beef scrap, fed in the morning, ano
a feed Of corn at night.

POOR IN ARGUMENT
Republican Error Marks Begin
ming of Campaign.
Assertion That Present Prosperity Is
Only Temporary Will Have Little
Effect on the Voter CONVEX
SAINT With History.

Chairman Wilcox assures the peO-
pie that prosperity is only temporary,
hoping to scare many people who are
enjoying it into voting the Republican
ticket, remarks a correspondent of the
New York World. Perhaps Chairman
Wilcox is right, for while Democrats
are calling attention to it, no one is
taking out an insurance policy on its
permanency. To do SO would be to fly
in the face of history.
From the close of the Civil war up
to 1873 this country enjoyed unprece-
denied flush times. Mark Twain called
it the "gilded age" so lavish. were GER
tain people with their money. The
Morrill, tariff law was in force, the Re-
publican party in power. But despite
the assurance of leaders of that party
that all this prosperity was the result
of Republican rule and was bound to
|. stay, the crash of 1873 came and ruin
followed in its wake the like of which
the country had never known. Good
times came back shortly after Cleve-
land was elected, and endured up to
1891, when, through the evil influence
of Harrison's administration and the
Mckinley tariff, another panic came,
and again business suffered.
In the autumn Of 1896 affairs began
to right themselves. A new tariff law
was written-thel great, Dingley bill
the Spanish and Boer wars came, new
gold mines were opened, and again
prosperity strobe forth, all smiles and
hope. Again our Republican know-it-
alls pointed to good times as the result
of Republican management.
Then came November, 1907 and with
1t a monetary crisis that shook the
country from Atlantic to Pacific, from
Duluth to Key West, causing practi-
cally every bank in the country to sus-
pend payments and locking up every
dollar of deposits for many dreary
months. From the ruinous effects of
the panic of 1907 the country did not
fully recover for over seven years.
Mr.. Wilcox is simply parroting Mr..
Hughes, who seems to have borrowed
many of his ideas from Theodore
Roosevelt, and, of course, predicts
early failure of our splendid prosperity
because it is Democratic and brought
out under Democratic auspices. This
at best is very silly reason and one
you would hardly expect to emanate
from men who arrogate to themselves
all wisdom.

WHAT KILLED YOUR POULTRY?
Hawk Usually Carries Off Young
Chicks, Leaving Larger Ones
Work of Weasel Differs.

A hawk usually carries off the young
chicks, but if they attack. larger ones
the bodies will be left. 1t will be
found that death has been caused by a
tear ut the back of the neck. The skull
will be torn open and the feathers
scattered but not trailed.
IL the chicken is found dead on Its
side, with it's neck stretched out, and
a small wound in the throat, 1t is the
work of a weasel that has sucked its
blood.
II q carcass is found with the head
and breast devoured, it is the work OF
q cat.
AS a rule, the rat does its deadly
work at night, and the carcass often Is
found very badly mauled. The en-
trails generally are drawn out, but not
eaten, and the carcass Is bitten and
gnawed In many places.

How About President Tatts Actiona

The instant success of one display
of manliness shows the criminal folly
of three years of epicene diplomacy
Mr.. Wilson's watchful waiting stands
condemned alike in the crisis into
which it fructified and in the solutioni
which one week of action foreshad-
ows.-New York Evening Sun.
This is the longest week on record.
On the 9th of March, 1911, two years
before Mr.. Wilson took office, Presi-
dent Taft ordered 10000 troops to the
Mexican border and they have been
there ever since, REINFORCED from time
to time, and now to be supported by
the entire National Guard. If a mill
tary display was all that was neces-
sary to command respect for the Unit
ed States in Mexico, there must have
been a good deal of epicene diplo-
macy, whatever that may be, in the
good old Republican days.

President Wilson's Handicap.

AS In the tariff and currency fields
of legislation, SO in the field of ma
tional defense President Wilson is the
heir of Republican extravaganza and
Republican inefficiency. To expect
him to do away at a stroke with the
paralyzing results Of half century
of paltering with opportunity, and
wastefulness where there was bitter
need of thrift is as unreasonable as
to assert that we can best get. out of
the fix Republican Incompetence got
us into by putting them back into
power.
If there was ever case OF the
craftsmanship of hindsight' 1t is pre-
sented by Republican critics of the
administration today.

''This way, Burton"
Verne Burton flushed at the per-
emptory and uncivil call. He had never
liked the arrogant Office manager, less
than ever just now, as that conceited
individual hailed him as though he
were an Office boy.
1t was prudence and policy, however,
to submit to the insolent exactions of
the lordly boss of the office. Burton
reached the desk Of his superior to be
greeted with cold censuring look.
Somebody to see you in the outer
Office" snapped out the manager. "Be
brief. We can't indulge these calls
taking up the time of our employees"
Burton fancied the implication did
not apply in his case. He had been
under the domination Of this slave
driver for year, held down to mere
pittance of a salary, partly, he decided,
because the manager did not like him.
Burton could not remember having had
visitor in business hours since he
had come with the house. He Won
dered who the present one could be.
The manager sat scowling, ready to
give Burton a genuine dressing down
when he reappeared, for Burton had
been gone nearly half an hour. The
tyro was primed for TRADE before the
whole Office. Burton anticipated him.
II am sorry to give such short no.
tice," he spoke, 'but important bust
ness has come up that calls me at once
from the city and / shall have to re-
sign my position"
"Business-resign?" mumbled the
manager.
Eyes, sir. have fallen heir to for
tune of fifty thousand dollars"
The manager was stupefied. Then
his false nature came to the front with
specious mask.
"Heir-fortune. Ah!'' he smirked, ex-
tending his hand, "allow me to con-
graduate YOU"
II must be at the Office Of the lawyer

Good Food Habits.

With the reasonably generous break
fast of the American family, the lunch
or supper is likely to be moderate and
the dinner generous.
On the other hand, it is natural
enough that with the light breakfast
of continental Europe there should 60
either the second breakfast and supper
or the hearty lunch as well as the din
ner.
Apparently the number Of meals TAX
en- does not greatly influence the
amount eaten per day, for the man
who goes without his breakfast IS
very likely to make up for it at dinner
or supper, while the man who eats an
early breakfast and then q second
breakfast will be likely to take q mod
crate lunch or a light dinner.
Good food habits do not permit Ot
gluttony.

KILLING OUT FoxTAIL PEST
Weed Should Be Hoed or Pulled So
That Seed Will Not Shatter-
Rotation Is Favored.

Yellow foxtail which springs up in
cultivated crops should be hoed or
pulled out so that the seed will not
shatter on the land. II seeds which
shatter out are covered with the disk,
they will terminate and then the
plants can be destroyed by blowing

London, Jan. 21.-Seizure by the
French of the Greek island of Corfu
is now known to have been due chief
ly to the location there of an Austro-
German submarine base. A second
base has been located in the mar
row channel between Corfu and the
Albanian coast. Most of the subma-
rine raids in the eastern Mediter-
ranean have been directed from these
two bases, by fleet embracing Ger
man as well as Austrian craft
German submarines have been di-
verted to the Mediterranean to such
an extent, that only two small under
water craft of the Germans remain
in the North sea.
Cooperation of German submarines
with Austrian craft in operations
against Italian shipping is regarded
here as of political significance, it
having been stated on good authority
that Italy would declare war against
Germany if it should be established
that German submarines had con-
tributed to the loss of Italian ships
