Well-Bred Toulouse Geese.

the bird may be drawn out and sus
pended at convenient height for pick
ing. Have large bag or barrel neat
into which the feathers may be placed
as they are picked. Care must be tn
ken that the feathers are not soiled by
blood or dirt AS they will lose theii
value.
After the bird is thoroughly cleaned
dip In cold water and allow it TO re-
main two or three minutes. Leave
feathers on about half the neck next
TO the head and also on the wings
above the first joint. Geese should be
marketed with the heads on and un.
drawn. Do not lay one bird upon an.
other when picked but wrap each In
n clean cloth or Paper, place 1t on its
back ana allow 1t to cool in that form.
Never hang n bird up by the feet OF
head to cool as this destroys their
plump appearance.

Succulent feed should be given to

acting head Of the department Of poul-
try husbandry in the Kansas state az
ricultural college.
"Beets, silage. and alfalfa may be
obtained on most farms" said Mr..
Sherwood. alfalfa leaves soaked in
sour milk are OF great value. The
milk softens the leaves. and also fur.
nishes valuable food nutrients. 1t is
well for the farmer to plant winter
wheat or rye near his chicken house"
Cabbage is excellent as green feed,
in the opinion of Mr.. Sherwood. Some
persons feed turnips, potatoes, and
even apples. Sprouted oats are often
used for succulencc, but 1t is not de-
siruble that the sprouting be done in
the house because of the offensive
odor given Off. This necessitates the
= use of special sprouter with heater,
and adds materially to the cost Of the
feed.

DR.. Benson concluded with an ap-
peal for constructive program by
churches, that will attract the young
people. He declared that sin is made
attractive and that Christianity must
be made more attractive to them. He
also asked that churches subsidize
human interest for the Kingdom, and
that like people, be modified in the
church for like purposes.
The speaker spoke in terms Of high

in all his travels about the state he
had never seen such a spirit Of unity
