Geese need only a house during cold
or stormy weather, when an open shed
should be provided. One gander is
mated with from one to three geese,
and the matings are not changed from
year to year unless they prove unsatis-
factory. When mated, they are al
lowed to u together in aocks. Tou-
louise and Emden geese win breed

PRACTICAL RESULT IN RUSSIA,

Since the prohibition Of vodka the
price Of labor in Russia has gone up
in a remarkable manner, says Prof. J..
Y. Simpson in the British Weekly.

he tells US, loans have been paid OF,
and agricultural implements pur-
chased on the installment plan have
been bought outright. Having sup.
piled themselves with gramophones
and watches and new clothes, the
peasants now employ their money in
buying land and even securities, or
starting little businesses. One hundred
million roubles per month used to be
spent on vodka; today it remains in
the economy Of peasant life. On all
hands, the people demand that it shall
be banished forever. The last speech

males are usually kept until they are
from twelve to fourteen years old, or
as long as they lay we'll. Sex is diff
flcult to distinguish. especially in
young geese. The gander is usually
somewhat larger and coarser than the
goose, and has a leaner, longer neck.
and a larger head. The sex is some
times determined by a critical examin-
alton or by the action of the geese
at mating time.
Nests for Geese.
Large boxes. barrels, or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed to make nests on the floor
of the house. The eggs should be col
lected daily and kept In q cool place.
The FIRST eggs r usually set under
hens, while the last ones which the
goose lays may be hatched either un-
der hens or under the goose II she
goes broody." II the eggs r not
removed from the nest where the
goose is laying, she will usually stop
laying sooner than II they r taken
away. The period Of incubation OF
goose eggs varies from 20 to 80 days.
Moisture may be added after the FIRST
week by sprinkling the eggs or the
nests with warm water. Goose eggs
hatch slowly, especially under hens
and the goslings are usually removed

Ladies' and Gentlemen: l will now
show you how the saloon helps your
town financially:
With your kind permission, I shall
represent the saloon; Mr.. Jones here
will represent your town.
You see this roll of bills? It con-
tains twenty thousand dollars in cash
(the exact amount of revenue paid by
the saloons Of your town.. You see I
now put this twenty thousand dollars
down in Mr.. Jones' left-hand pocket.
Now, I shall give anyone here one
hundred dollars in gold who will prove
to this audience that Mr.. Jones is
not exactly twenty thousand dollars
richer than he was before. All, l see
no one is foolish enough to claim this
one hundred dollars.
What's that? Will l explain how I
can afford to be SO generous? With
pleasure.
You see, while you were watching
me put twenty thousand dollars into
Mr.. Jones' left-hand pocket, l was busy
taking this other roll here out of his
right-hand pocket. Now this larger
| roll contains two hundred thousand
dollars (the amount Of money received
by the saloons of your town from your
citizens every year,. And SO you ZEE
that Mr.. Jones, instead Of being twen-
ty thousand dollars richer than he was
before. is really one hundred and
| eighty thousand dollars poorer.
Strange you didn't notice that" you
say. Not at all. You see, l made so
much fuss about the twenty thousand
dollars l was putting into Mr.. Jones'
