MAKING PROFIT WITH GEESE
Much Depends on Kind of Fowls That Are Raised-PIentiful Pasturaqe
 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 a dollar. Purebreds weigh from fifteen to twen- ty pounds, and goslings from thirteen to fifteen pounds apiece. It costs about ten cents a pound to raise them.
 Raising goslings is also ideal for farm women, as usually plenty of pas ture is available; and 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 it pays to start right i; that is, with purebreds. However, if it be impossible to start with the pure bred, do the best you can.

RODENTS IN CHICKEN YARDS
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 come 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 at least foot square and six inches high. The box should be- closed on all sides except for a number of inch-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.

 It Is generally recognized that the type of COW best suited for the aver age farmer who does not specialize in any line, Is the COW that will yield a considerable volume of milk and that will take on flesh readily when not in milk. The illustration accompanying this article shows two Shorthorn cows that are fine examples of this combined beef and milk type. The size and full ness of the udder is the evidence of their milk production and anyone ex- perienced in the handling of beef cat tie will readily recognize the beef characteristics of these two cows-and that they have ample scale. The pro- duce from such cows as these grow quickly into value as beef or breeding animals, and the heifers may be relied upon to perform creditably in the dairy.
 The problem of disposing of the male calves, which Is encountered by dairymen everywhere who rely upon dairy COWS of the so-called dairy breeds, does not enter into the calcula- tons of the farmer or dairyman who places his dependence on COWS of the type shown herewith. The male calves from such cows as these are snapped up by neighboring farmers or butch

DESTROYING MORNING
 GL0RlES
By L. N. BENNINGTON.

The field morningglory resembles the cultivated kind and unlike the bind weed, grows only from seed. We find four varieties of morning-glories on our lowland farms, so the only remedy is to prevent the seeding.
 The field bindweed is a morning glory with small flowers and vinelike stems that entwine closely about any thing they reach.
 The numerous roots send out plants from every eye. These roots being spread by the blow or cultivator form new plants, until in a short time the cornfield is completely covered.
 They start so early in the spring that before the corn is large enough to cultivate, the rows are so hidden that they must be cleaned out with hoe be- fore cultivation is begun.
 Another variety called hedge bind weed, pea-vine. morning-glory has large funnel-shaped flowers and more slender vine than the other varieties.
 In the central states we find still an other of the prolific pests. This is the wild sweet potato or man-of-the-earth vine. Its roots resemble in shape the cultivated sweet potato, but are much larger and penetrate far below the blowing depths.
 :, Cutting the tops does little good and scutting the roots only multiplies the Hnumber of vines as all pieces of roots Syrow the same as the edible sweet po- tato.
 The blow only serves as means of spreading and transplanting the pieces of roots, which grow new plants. Gov ering with salt or injecting sulphuric acid into the roots are as effective as any remedy for the weed, which for tunately is not so common as the other varieties of morning-glory.
 Hogs are very fond of the roots and are great help in cleaning up badly infested ground. Flowing during July and August prevents the plants from growing again in the same season and

USES FOR ROADSIDES
Productive Soil Should Be En-
 pIoyed for Making Food.
Sweet Glover, Red Glover and Grasses Are Often Found Along High ways and Can Be Cut for
 Hay for Stock.

Many thousands of miles of road sides are on productive soil and should be used for food production. To use the roadsides will involve little labor and no large expenditure.
 Some roadsides can be used to pro- duce hay. Such crops as sweet clover, red clover and grasses are often found can be cut for hay. These crops are usually allowed to waste, though some farmers utilize them. One farmer in Missouri always cuts the sweet clover from roadsides adjacent to his farm before it gets woody. Along lime rankly, owing to the sweetening effect of the road dust on the soil acidity. On some roadsides, by little seeding or by clipping the weeds, the more valuable hay crops can be produced.
 Pasturing the roadsides usually of fers the best way of utilizing them. Many roadsides are too rough to be moved, and farm labor is scarce. Many fine pasture plants grow along the roads Bluegrass and white clover frequently take the roadsides, to the exclusion of weeds. Bermuda grass, Japan clover and other plants of good grazing qualities are found along the Southern roads. Wild grasses through out other parts of the country are abundant along roads. The pasturage of roadsides can be increased by keep ing the weeds down by moving occa- sionally with a machine or scythe. The farm pastures can be rested and are not so liable to overgrazing when the roadsides are used. Pasturing the roadsides does not call for much labor. Cattle and sheep can be grazed along them and valuable beef, milk, wool, and mutton produced. The old milch COW may be tethered out, or the farm cattle, herded by children, pastured along the roads. The farm flock of sheep will need to be herded, but will clip the roadside more closely and re- tard the growth of noxious weeds. Farmers who use these waste spaces will help produce more food, eliminate waste, produce cheaper milk and meat, reduce weeds, remove a wintering place for Insects, and in addition make the roadsides and farmsteads more at kractive.

FINE TYPE OF MILK AND BEEF COMBINED

CTS and they are willing to pay premium for them.
 Through the use of highgrade cows of this type, and there are many thou sands of such, In which Shorthorn blood predominates, the farmer is as- sured of profits. If there is an occa- sional COW that does not yield profit able flow of milk, she readily con verts the feed she consumes into beef and Is working toward the profit mark through one channel or the other all of the time. The great majority of farmers are not inclined nor equipped to be specialists. Their ag- gregate income is made up from re- turns from diversified activities on the farm This being true, the dependable type of COW is what has been widely heralded as the dual-purpose COW, of which the illustration Is a fine ex- ample.
 A striking example of this type Is the Shorthorn COW, Oxford Maid, owned in Iowa, with a weight of 1850 pounds and milk yield for thirty days Of 1,526 2-3 pounds and over 5000 pounds in four months. If the farm CTS will more generally adopt for their use cows of this combined utility, they will find a surer and easier road to prosperity.

PERG0LAS PRETTY AND CHEAP

It doesn't take much time or need not cost any money to have a pretty pergola in your garden. Of course if one has the time and the money the scheme may be widened to any desired extent and the structure may be as costly and as elaborate as the heart wishes. But a simple bit of work, planned with the eye of an artist, is often more fetching than studied and costly creation.
 Rustic pergolas may be made of peeled oak or pine, or any other dura- ble branches that are at hand, except ing birch. Birch will not last beyond one season. There is no better or prettier way of training vines than by making the pergola the base and there will be many hours of real pleas ure in the creation once it is done.

FEED ALFALFA TO CHICKENS
Fowls Relish It When Fresh and Crow ina-Plant Is Rich in Protein
 Use Is Limited.

Chickens like alfalfa, but, best of all, like it when it is fresh and grow ing. It is rich in protein and ash and is readily appreciated even if fed dried or cured. The greeher 1t is the better they like it. Finely ground alfalfa meal is not so palata- ble as that freshly thrown down from the mow or taken from the cen ter of the stack. When steamed 1t makes an excellent food, but contains a great amount of dry matter which is indigestible. Therefore its use Is lim- ited. One feeding per day is sufficient. It can never constitute anything more than relish for the birds. A good grain ration and dry mash ration are necessary in addition.

SURFACES FOR HlLLY ROADS

Slipping on hilly roads is one of the unfortunate results which horses must suffer as result of covering the roads with hard surfaces, while the possibi. ty of skidding on these slopes is an ever-present dread among motorists
 A special form of paving brick, called hillside bricks" Is made for use on grades exceeding one foot rise in 20 feet horizontal distance.

will make them much less plentiful the next year.
 Lambs also like the vines wonder fully we'll and few will be left in the fall if they are turned on before the bindweeds go to seed.
 Our experience with bindweeds is that spring blowing and persistent use of the cultivator only serve to spread the roots over greater areas.
 The lowlands where the bindweed f1ourishes are also suitable for alfalfa. We find that between the cuttings of alfalfa the bindweed has no oppor- tunity to seed and in a few years a plant can hardly be found in an alfalfa field.
 The bindweed when once estab- lished in field is there to stay or put up strenuous fight and no halfway methods will accomplish anything in the way of getting rid of this pest.
 When blowing or cultivating through small spots of morning-glory, it pays to clean the blow or cultivator of all roots to prevent the spreading of the growth of new plants.
 The use of the disk harrow and disk cultivators will help to prevent the spread of this pest.
 Prevention and the use of every known means of destruction must be used if we would rid our farms of this pest.
