GEESE ON THE FARM.

Most Economical Of All the Barnyard
Fowls.
A few geese should be kept on every
Kansas farm. They are grazers and
for that reason are the most econom-
ically raised of all barnyard fowls, &C.
cording to N. L. Harris, superintend-
ent Of poultry at the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural college. A flock Of geese will
live during the summer on blue grass
or clover pasture and will go through
the winter on rye or wheat pasture ex-
cept in snowy weather, when a small
amount of ground grain should be fur
nished.
81 would not advise going into the
goose business on large scale in Kan
sas, because there is no close market,
but for home consumption and feath-
ers there should be few geese on
every farm" says Mr.. Harris. "They
are not at all profitable for eggs, be-
cause a goose will lay only thirty or
forty eggs a season."
The hen goose makes poor mother,
points out Mr.. Harris. 1t is better to
set the eggs under chicken hens. Until

LARGE BROOD MARES
BEST FOR the FARM

Brood mares are money makers on
the small farm. They do the work of
the farm and at the same time produce
colts that will swell the bank account
every time one goes to market, says
the Farm Progress. The mares should
be of the draft type. The draft mare
is easier to handle and does not require
an expert horseman or special ability
in breaking them, as Is the case with.
other types Of horses. The draft brood
mare is a source of pleasure to the
small farmer and his family.
The brood mare should be large, The
size Of farm machinery is greater than
ever. Labor is high in price. Those
two things make it essential for a man
to plan to accomplish the greatest pos
sible amount Of work. With big horses
this may be done with smaller num-
Der. The greatest reason, however, for
keeping large mares is that their off,
spring likewise will have size. Since
the market demand is for heavy horses.
1t is up to the small farmer who Is
seeking to obtain the greatest remu-
neration possible for his efforts to cater
to that market by raising the big kind.
The objection that big horses are
clumsy is not necessarily correct. Some
big horses are clumsy. it Is true. On
the other hand. there are big horses
that are active and easily handled 1t
depends upon the choice of ANNA Is
made for foundation stock. The most
rapid walking teams | ever had on my
farm We're the heaviest on the place.
There is n point here that should be
emphasized in the mind of any one
who Is planning to use big mares.
There Is the widest difference imagi-
nable in the ability of big mares to
stand work. Soundness. quality and
action must be possessed by the mare
as well as size or she is apt to be un-
satisfactory. Quality is the watch
word today on the horse market. New
er did buyers look so carefully for
hard. flinty bone, clean and correctly
set hooks and feet of the size. shape
and texture that will stand wear.
The Kendrick gazette. [volume] (Kendrick, Idaho) 1892-1968, 1916-06-23

two weeks old the goslings are some
what delicate, but subsequently they
are extremely hardy. They have to be
kept out of heavy dews and rain until
they are nearly twelve weeks old, for
during this period "a wet goose is a
dead goose"
Mr.. Harris advises against feeding
whole grain. Under no circumstances,
he says, should it be fed unless soaked
for at least twenty-four hours. The
natural food for geese consists of
grass. tender roots and worms.
1t is not at all profitable to allow
geese to run with other poultry. on &C.
count of their quarrelsome disposition
They are easily fenced. A twenty-fo
inch woven wire is sufficient to keep
them In.
Perhaps the Toulouse and Emder
should be the most extensively raised
as they are the so called dry land va
rieties and require only sufficient wa
ter for drinking purposes, which makes
them entirely suitable to Kansas con
ditions," says Mr.. Harris.

TIMOTHY'S EFFECT ON LAND.
Old Notion That It Actually Improved
the Soil Not Substantiated.

the Soil Not Substantiated.
1t Is an old notion that land seeded
to timothy, even though the crop be
removed, is being rested and improved.
This, however. is not true In any other
sense than that q horse that has been
driven rapidly may be considered as
being rested by being driven more
slowly-that is to say, timothy removes
the plant food from the soil more SLOW
ly than does corn or wheat because a
smaller amount Of plant food is re-
quired to make the crop. While the
land is in timothy the soil surface Is
washed out less rapidly because the
surface is bound together throughout
the whole year by the roots of the tim
othy plants. The humus is also burned
out less rapidly since there is no cult
walton.
The notion that timothy actually i'm
proves land doubtless grew out of the
fact that when timothy sod was plow-
ed under and the land was planted to
some such crop as corn a larger crop
was produced than the same land
would have borne had it been in corn
continuously. This is because the plant
has removed plant food from the soil
less rapidly than this food has become
available in the soil by chemical proc
esses. Investigations also show that a
crop of timothy will leave in the soil In
the form of roots and stubble over
seven pounds of nitrogen to the acre
against about two and fve-tenths
pounds per acre for wheat. All this
becomes available for succeeding crops
when the meadow is plowed up.

stock. the greatest agricultural indus
try of the county. Corn, accordingly.
was among the first crops to receive at
tention. The aim was to secure the in
PRODUCTION Of more productive varieties
and proper cultivation. The first year
twenty-five men co-operated by giving
demonstrations on their farms. The
demonstrators averaged forty eight
bushels an acre, whereas the average
for the county in 1910 had been only
21.O1 bushels. The following year
more demonstrators We're secured, and
they averaged 7O.G bushels. The third
year the average for the demonstrators
fell to 5O.7, but in the fourth it rose
again to Go.5. For the four years in
which demonstrations have been car
ried on PIP demonstrations on 1,160
acres averaged 5S.7 bushels per acre.
Another object lesson was afforded
by the Five Acre club, formed in
1914. In this club forty farmers agreed
to grow each five acre field of corn
to determine what amount could be
raised on that area. The result was
an average Of seventy-fve bushels per
acre. AS result Of this work the in
crease in the yield of corn over the en-.
tire county has been estimated at 221h
per cent.
In the interest of more and better
live stock more forage as well as more
grain is necessary, and to this end the
county agent has conducted system
attic demonstration campaigns for the
introduction and increase of alfalfa
meadows and pastures. In the fall of
1911 only two patches Of alfalfa were
being grown in the county, and they
were partial failures. The agent start
ed two acres on his own farm, and i'm
mediately three or four other farmers
did the same thing. These plots were
visited by farmers from all over the
county in order to learn the best prac-
tees to follow. AS a result 1000 acres
were in alfalfa in 1915. One of the
most interesting demonstrations with
this crop took place ON large dairy
farm. Last year six acres on this farm
were cut five times, and the hay sold
at SIG ton. The gross receipts from
the six acres We're $7S4.54, the total
amount Of hay being 46.7SA tons and
the average per acre being 1877 tons.

Aneoras Need Pasture.

Angora goats are economical pro-
ducers under anything like ordinary
farm conditions. They are well adapt
ed TO grazing and can be maintained
on rather thin pasture. Yet this is
not desirable for best results. The
goats should have ample pasture, grain
and hay as supplements. Mohair has
been bringing good prices recently and
fresh goat meat Is highly desirable as
