Fire Alarm Disarranged.

The local fire alarm system got lquite a little exercise. Thursday aft ernoon, when a high tension wire be- came crossed on the alarm wire. The bell rang about every possible. num- Der, the indicator showing several numbers in the hundreds. The alarm came in so fast that the indicator could not register it and the automa- tic register made a continuous series of holes in the paper. From way th>+t the signals came in, it was apparent after the first strokes that something was the matter; in all, about thirty strokes were made.
 After investigation, it was found that the wire was crossed by a high tension wire, and why the system was not burned out in a wonder. The high tension burned out the fuse on the batteries and furnished the cleo Atricity for the signals.

MAKING PROFIT WITH GEESE
Much Depends on Kind Of Fowls That
Are Raised-PlentifuI Pasturaae
Saves Feed Bills.

The profit made from geese depends
On the kind of fowl that Is raised.
Common geese weigh ten to thirteen
pounds. The goslings weigh from eight
to ten pounds. The profit on one of
these is from sixty cents to dollar.
Purebreds weigh from fifteen to TWEEN.
ty pounds, and goslings from thirteen
to fifteen pounds apiece. It costs about
ten cents pound to raise them.
Raising goslings is also ideal for
farm women, as usually plenty of pas
ture is available; and a plentiful sup
ply Of pasture means small feed bills.
The less feed to buy the greater the
profit. The outlay need not be large,
as the breeders can be sheltered in a
cheap building. While it is cheaper
to start with mongrels, they also bring
smaller returns. Even If the initial
outlay is greater 1t pays to start right {;
that is, with purebreds. However, If
1t be impossible to start with the pure
bred, do the best you can.

RODENTS IN CHICKEN YARDS
There Should Be No Trouble in Get.
ting Rid Of Them by Using Sugar
Of Lead Poison.

Rats cause great losses in many
poultry yards, but there should be no
trouble in getting rid of them by poi
soning with a mixture of two parts
cornmeal and one part sugar of lead.
The hand should not como in contact
with the poison feed. and all other
feeds should be removed so the rats
cannot get them.
The poisoned feed may be kept away
from the chickens by putting it in a
tray, nailed to the middle of the bot
tom of board Mt least foot square
and six inches high. The box should
be closed on all sides except for q
number of incll-and-a-half holes bored
through the sides near the bottom.
Burn or bury the dead rats so that
chickens cannot eat them. The de-
cayed flesh of even imprisoned rats
is likely to cause timber neck. as pto-
maine poisoning is called in chickens.
