A country lawyer was defending a
prisoner who had killed man by hit
ting him on the head with brick.
The case against the prisoner being
quite clear, the counsel endeayored to
get his client off by making a per-
fervid speech. He said: "The respon-
sibility Of defending my client is al
most overwhelming. This morning, as
I was walking in my garden enjoying
the lovely sunshine and balmy air, lis
tening to the birds singing, and look
ing at all the beautiful flowers, said
to myself, My poor client, immured in
his cell, can see none Of these
things!'"
Just then a spectator at the back Of
the court shouted: Neither can the
man he hit on the head with brick !"

KlIauea,s Lava Lake.

Early reports indicate that the
alarms of war will not prevent many
Americans from visiting their new
national park in Hawaii. Three cele-
brated volcanoes, Kilauea, Mauna
Loa and Haleakala are in the new
reservation. The lava lake at
Kilauea, a spectacle which has drawn
thousands of visitors in past years
from every part of the world, will
be, it is predicted, unusually spectacu-
lar this season because of the recent
increased volcanic activity in the re-
gion.

RAccooMs. CORN FEAST.

Daddy Raccoon was teaching the
children their lessons.
Whenever you are near water" he
said, you must be sure to wash your
food. That makes it SO much cleaner"
For the raccoon is very clean and cares
a great deal about his food being nice
and clean and fresh.
You can eat great many things"
said Daddy Raccoon. "You are allowed
eggs Of all kinds, fish, frogs, turtles
and all sorts of fruit and nuts"
"The best of all you haven't men,
toned" said the Raccoon children.
"Ah, I am keeping it as surprise"
said Daddy Raccoon.
when are we going?" asked the
children.
Going where?" asked Daddy Rae
coon, as If he didn't know at all what,
the children were talking about.
"Dear me-" sighed Mother Raccoon,I
these days. Yes, it was different in my
time. didn't know about corn until
was told about it"
At that all the Raccoon children
laughed shrilly. "Oh, mother" they
said, NOW you have let the cat out Of
the bag. We didn't say we knew it
was corn"
'Let what cat out Of what bag?"
asked Mother Raccoon. st haven't a
cat nor bag. What absurd nonsense
you children talk"
"Oh," said one Of the Raccoon chill
dren, "that is just an expression"
"Still don't understand" said Moth

IAN expression is saying" said the
Raccoon child. ut is something people
say--lots and lots Of people. And it's
supposed to be WISE"
what does it mean?" asked Mother
Raccoon, who was much puzzled.
SIT means that someone has let the
secret out-or the thing that was sup
posed to be kept in"
"Why did they use the cat and bag

raccoon, unless it was started by;

pecially under hens, and the gOSlingS
are usually removed as soon as Matched
and kept in warm place until the
process is over, when they are put
back under the hen or goose. Some
breeders who hatch with both geese
and hens give all the goslings to the
geese. Hens with goslings may be con-
fined to the coop and the goslings al
lowed to range. The latter, especially
if the weather is cold, are not usually
all owed to go into water until they are
several days old. In mild weather
the hens are allowed to brood the Cos
lings for from seven to ten days when
the latter are able to take care or
themselves. Good-sized growing coops,
with board floors, should be provided
for the goslings, and they must be pro-
tected from their enemies, and given
some attention when on range.
Feeding Geese and Goslings.
Geese are generally raised Where
they have a good grass range or pas
ture, as they are good grazers, and,
except during the winter months, usu-
ally pick up most of their living. The
pasture may be supplemented with
light feeds Of the common or home
grown grains or wet mash daily, the
necessity and quantity of this feed de-
pending on the pasture. GOslings do
not need feed until they are twenty
four to thirty-six hours old, when they
should be fed any Of the mashes rec
commended for chickens or ducklings.
Preparation for Market.
Before marketing the young geese
the average farmer can feed advanta-
geously fattening ration either while
the geese are on grass range or con-
fined to small yards, but it is doubt
full whether it would pay him to con-
fine them to individual or small pens
and make a speciality of fattening I'M
less he has special market or retail
trade for well-fattened stock
Geese are usually killed and picked
in the same manner as other kinds OF
poultry. Some markets prefer dry
picked geese, while in other markets
no difference is made in the price of
scalde1 or dry-picked geese. When
feathers are to be saved, fowls should
not be scalded but should be picked
dry before or after steaming. On
most farms where geese are raised the
feathers are plucked from the live
fowls at some time prior to moulting.
About 1 Ito pounds per goose is the
average yield Of feathers. Feathers
are worth from 80 cents to 81 a
pound and the picking cost per goose
is about IL cents.
Breeds.
The Toulouse, the largest Of the
standard breeds of geese, is good
layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs a
year, Is docile, grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
it's dark pinfeather make 1t a slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Emden. These geese are very mas
sive in proportions with short legs.
The bill and feet are dark orange
color; head, neck and back Of dark
gray; breast light gray, but descend
ing lighter till beyond the legs and
tail they are a pure white. This COM
hination Of colors presents very at
tractive appearance. They live to a
good old age and are easy keepers.

MILLIONS OF EGGS SPOILED
If Delicate GeIatinous Coating Is Brok-
en- Egg Will Immediately Begin
to Deteriorate.

It is not necessary to smash an egg
to spoil it. It is provided with del
icate gelatinous coating for protection
which keeps out air and germs only so
long as the coating is intact. If the
egg is cracked or checked, even so
slightly that it cannot be detected,
this protective coating is broken and
the egg will not keep SO well. Over
100000 dozen eggs spoil annually
in cold storage in this country on ac-
count of checked shells. This is an
immense waste of food which could
be greatly lessened if there were
greater care in handling the eggs.

"And now we're going to show you

Mother Raccoon, who had had so many
terrible adventures stealing corn that
she was little nervous.

And indeed they did! Mother and
Daddy Raccoon and all the Raccoon

acted as though they had always
known and loved the taste Of summer
corn.
