THE GOOSE BOY.

In the heart of very old wood there once lived a boy named Hans.
 Hans had no parents, and the people with whom he lived did not treat him well. When he was old enough he packed all be owned into a big red cot ton handkerchief and started out to make his way in the world.
 He had not gone far when he met little old woman for whom he had once done a kindness.
 Where are you going, little HansT
 "Out into the world to make my for tune" he replied,
 "Very well. Perhaps I can help you a little with that" said the old woman. Walk straight on over yon hill till you come to two roads that cross. Under an oak tree this evening you will find 6 man asleep. Tied to the tree you will see O fat goose. Untie 1t and lead lt away. Should any one ask you for 6 feather from this fine fowl tell that person to take it. IT the bird cries out you must say, Hold fast Then, no matter who they are, they must follow the goose. By and by, If you keep to the road on the right, you will reach fine big town in which is big castle Lead your goose and all who may fol- low him right past the castle gate, and am sure your fortune will be made When you wish to free the people who follow the goose, touch them with this wand"
 Hans did ns be was told. Be found the goose and led 1t of. Soon he had a line of queer people following the fat fowl. There were a vain young girl who had asked for feather; her lover, who tried to pull her away from the goose: his mother, who wished to set him free; the fat mayor of town, his wife and the village chimney sweep, with many others.
 When the queer procession reached the big town Hans led his goose right up the street toward the castle. 4 car riage was coming out of the gate and In 1t the lovelicst young girl he had ever seen. When she saw the goose md the queer train hurrying after 1t she laughed heartily.
 The laughter reached the ears of the king and queen. who were fin the castle garden, and they hurried out to see what was the matter.
 The princess had long been a sufferer from melancholy, and the king had promised to make rich the first person who should make her laugh.
 So Hans fortune was made, He touched each of the persons who fol- lowed the goose with the wand the old woman had given him, and they ran home as fast as they could.
 And Hans Seat a handsome present to the old woman who had made his fortune.

RIGHT PROPORTIONS OF FEED |
Professor kempster of Missouri Agri-
cultural College Gives Rations for
Winter Feeding.

Hens cannot lay consistently unless
they have the right feeds in the right
proportions. II. L. Kempster, asso-
ciate professor Of poultry husbandry
In the Missouri College of Agriculture,
gives the following rations for WIN
ter feeding:
Q) Scratch food: One part wheat,
two parts corn.
Mash (ground foodD: One part bran,
one part middlings (shorts), one part
cornmeal, one part commercial beef
scrap.
(2)) Scratch food: Two parts corn
one part wheat.
Mash: Ground oats, buttermilk or
sour milk as drink.
The parts in the ratiOns are given
by weight and not by volume. Other
factors are met in egg production, and
it may be that proper feeding will not
produce desired results. However, de-
sired results cannot be obtained with
out proper feeding The ration is one
of the important factors in egg pro-
duction which can be controlled. Ger
tainly the man who feeds for egg pro-
duction will receive more eggs in a
wear than the man who follows no sys-
tematic feeding plan. Mr.. Kempster
has written Feeding for Egg Produc-
tion." circular No. 76, which may be
had by application to the College of
Agriculture, Columbia.

PRODUCING EGGS IN WINTER
Manner Of Keeping and Feeding Makes
Positive Difference-crowding
Fowls Is Injurious.

While the bred-to-lay characteristic
makes q difference, the manner of
keeping and feeding makes very posi-
five difference, too, between winter
laying and nonwinter laying f1ocks.
Large f1ocks crowded into small quar-
ters seldom lay well, even though they
remain healthy. I have no doubt that
anyone who understands the handling
of fowls could take any nonlaying
flock in November, select dozen hens
or bullets, remove them to a suitable
Mace by themselves, feed them right
and have them laying within two
weeks. SAYS writer in an exchange.
This being so easily possible, why is
II that so many farmers will go
through the winter without fresh eggs
rather than prepare a suitable place
for affew selected layers and thus in
sure a constant supply Of fresh eggs
for the table at least? A few hens that
can be kept laying by a little extra
care will pay for the feed of the whole
flock through the winter so 1t is well
worth while to keep them and feed
them apart from the mixed flock OF
young and old birds.

KEEP DAIRY PRODUCTS COLD
Special Precautions Should Be Taken
to Cool Milk After Being Drawn
and Then Kept So.

Milk and cream are perishable prod.
ucts and every possible precaution
should be taken at the farm and in the
home to keep these products whole
come. In the fall with the cooler
weather, there exists an opinion that
ice or other methods of cooling milk
and cream is unnecessary to have
these products remain sweet in cold
weather, says Prof. V. R. Jones of the
South Dakota department of dairy hus-
bandry. This is a false assumption.
Special precautions to see that these
dairy products are cooled Immediately
after drawn and kept cold until deliv.
cry are important.
Milk and cream will contain germs
or (actic acid) bacteria no matter
how careful we are in it's production.
The bacteria that cause milk to sour
multiply very rapidly at moderately
high temperatures (70-S0 degrees F.)
If the milk or cream is cooled to so
degrees F. or less, the growth of these
germs is held in check and these food
products remain sweet for a longer
period.
If the dairy farmer does his duty in
properly cooling milk and cream at
the farm, either with ice or cold rum
ming water, and the same precautions
are taken in the home, there will be
less trouble with sour milk and cream.

HEALTH OF POULTRY FLOCKS
Some Fundamental Principles for
PouItryman to Observe-CIeanli-
ness of Big Importance.

A few fundamental principles will
serve the poultryman to keep his
flock in health if these rules are OBJ
served. They are as follows, Good
clean quarters, thoroughly disinfected
at reasonable intervals, grains free
from mold, feed in clean litter or on
clean floors.
Plenty of fresh water placed in open
dishes that are frequently disinfected.
Plenty Of fresh air at all times and
house for protection which does not
permit of any drafts.
A constant supply of grit, oyster
shells and charcoal and the regular
ration of green feeds such as vege-
tables or sprouted oats. A supply Of
protein in the shape of animal feed
such as milk, beef scraps or green
cut bone.

SPROUT OATS FOR CHICKENS
Placed in Trays, With Net Bottoms,
They Are Ready for Feeding
in About Five Days.

A quart of oats is soaked in pail
of water overnight and the surplus
water poured off next morning. The
oats are then washed three times with
clear water to remove mold or smut
spores and spread one-quarter inch
deep on shallow trays. These trays
which have wire mosquito netting bot.
toms, are placed in warm room and
the oats kept damp. In about five
days they are ready for feeding and
make an excellent midday food for
young chicks or mature fowls. About
a cubic inch day of sprouted oats
is sufficient for a hen and half the
amount for a chick.-Clemson College
Bulletin.

FREE RANGE is ESSENTIAL. FOR TURKEYS

key hens enough should be allowed to
sit to take all the poults hatched. They
can be given few eggs from the in
cubator or from under the chicken
hens and allowed to hatch the poults
themselves, or at night a newly
hatched poult can be slipped under
each turkey hen that is to be given a
brood Of poults and by morning she
will be glad to take them.
Lice are great annoyance to sit
ting hens and are one Of the worst
enemies of young poults. Dust the
hen thoroughly with some good lice
powder before she is placed on the
nest and once week thereafter while
she is sitting.
Pouts in Open.
If the weather is warm and dry no
shelter is required, as the poults do
better in the open. Should it be rainy,
however, they need to be protected,
for nothing is more injurious than for
them to become wet and chilled. The
most satisfactory plan is to cOnf1ne the
mother turkey hen to a coop in field

DAIRY
FACTS
GIVE COW NUTRITIOUS FEEDS
Pennsylvania Experiment Station Rec.
ommends Decrease in Silage In
Drying-Off Process.

For a considerable period before the
dairy COW is due to freshen it is best
to feed highly nutritious feeds. About
60 days before the time for parturi-
tion the COW should be dried off. It
IL necessary that this be done care
fully, as old milk left in the udder
may lead to garget or other ills.
For the drying-off process the
Pennsylvania experiment station rec
ommends decreasing the silage to
about 20 pounds and the grain to four
pounds daily. No change is necessary
In the amount of hay fed. After the
cow is dry the grain ration is re-
sumed and the amount of grain in
creased gradually until the week just
previous to freshening.
The grain ration ought to be laxa-
tive in character, highly nutritious
and palatable. During the last week
the COW should be placed in a box
stall and her grain lessened. Equal
parts Of wheat bran and ground oats
or chop with alfalfa hay and man
gels is recommended as a good ration
to feed at this time. -
After parturition the COW should not
be MIXED until the second day, except
by the calf, unless, as is the practice
Of some dairymen, the calf is removed
at once. For several days the cow
should be allowed only tepid water.
For feed, good clover hay, mangels
and bran and oats are probably best
until her system becomes normal
again. By the third day the cow may
be returned to her stall.

CANADA'S BONUS.
TO FARM .LABORERS
Offering 100 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de-
mand that is made upon it for food
Stuffs, finds itself almost in the thrOes
Of labor famine. A novel means Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when it was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as q homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been big pro-
ducer Of grain and it Is estimated that
there is shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. This shortage has
been caused by so many young men
having left the farms to 60 to war, and
1t is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land at once.
1t has been required in the past to
do three years duties on homesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official Of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one of the 160-acre farms, sat
isfy the Government that he Is work
ing for q farmer and that time will ap.
ply as residence on the land filed for,
lust the same as If he was actually
living on it.-Advertisement.

For those who are favorably situ-
ated for raising turkeys, more profit

Given plenty Of range where the tur-
keys can find grasshoppers and other
insects, green vegetation, the seeds of

Of raising them is very small and the
