a loose seeded which is likely TO dry

They find that an engine can easily

efficiency. when so run, is somewhat
higher than with gasoline fuel. How.
ever, they also find that alcohol must
be far cheaper by the pound than gaso-

Moreover, an engine win not start

GEESE UTILIZE WASTE FEED
Low, Rough Land Used for Pasturing
Stock is referable-FoWls Do
Well on Forage Crops.

Geese, raised in small flocks on
general farms, or non-productive
land, do not require any material
amount of grain. Low, rough land,
used for paSturing other stock, and
containing natural supply Of water,
rs the best conditions.
Geese are good grazers and will do
well on grass and forage crops alone,
except during the winter months. when
they may be fed largely on available
roughage such as clover. alfalfa hay,
silage, cabbage, mangel-wurzeIs, or any
waste vegetables. If the grass or for
age is limited It may be supplemented
by light feeds of common or home
grown grains.
Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather, when
open sheds may be provided. Cos
lings are not usually Matched until
good pasture is available, and need adj
ditional feed only for a few weeks.
The range of pasture used either for
goslings or for geese should be large
enough so that the grass will remain
clean, or the stock should be moved
frequently to fresh land. COOps, bar
rels, or some other dry shelter should
he provided for the young g0slings.
Geese are very hardy and free from
diseases and insect pests.

HEN IS GOOD FOOD PRODUCER
Most Economical Transformer of Food
Into Finished Product-Expert
Tells OF Feed.

The hen is an economical transform
er of food into a finished prod
uct. A hen laying 200 eggs in year
is not at all unusual. A four-pound
hen laying this number will produce
six times her weight in eggs. To do
this she will require from 20 to so
pounds of feed. II. L. Kempster Of
the University of Missouri college Of
agriculture suggests that for economi-
cal production it is necessary:
l. That the food be properly Sc
lected.
2. That 1t be fed in correct proper
ton and in a judicious manner in or
der that her digestive organs may be
kept in good condition.
9. That she be fed enough so that
she has plenty Of surplus for egg pro-
ductiOn.

BOY RoBBER LOST His NERVE
Youth Reported Alleged Visit of Band.
1t, But Later Was induced to Pro-
duce Stolen Jewelry.

A thrilling story of guns, masks and
robbery, which had stirred a country
neighborhood by its recital, melted into
the make-believe of yello-back novel,
once investigators were on the job,
says the Indianapolis News. A talk
between two persons. which is said
to have occurred behind farmers
barn, led to the recovery of loot in
the form of jewelry and confession
from boy, who reluctantly dragged
from his trousers pocket the remains
of dollar bill.
Sheriff Coffin was called in by neigh
bors after the boy, whose name is
purposely withheld, had communicated
TO persons with whom he lived that
a very dark man, wearing a mask over
his face, had visited his home while
he was alone; that he had been threat
ened with a shotgun and. after rifling
the house, had forced the boy to leave
with him. About a mile from the
house, the boy related, the stranger
gave him % cents and told him to
Keep his mouth shut" n duck ahd
Belgian hare also were taken, the be-.
declared.
When the sheriff arrived there was
n consultation behind the barn, and
when it had been concluded the boy
dug the jewelry out of the ground,
told his friends that he had sold the
duck at nearby grocery for some
money; that the Belgian hare escaped
while he was on his way to the gro
Gerry, and that the masked man was
the creation of his own Imagination.
"Give him another chance" the sher-
if told the guardians of the hayward
boy. Gle won't do it again.
Tue boy nodded confirmation.
