RAISING GEESE ON A LARGE SCALE.
KEEP FLIES FROM CHICKENS
Houses and Yards Constitute Hatch.
cries Unless Preventive Measures
Are Observed.

Poultry houses and poultry yards
constitute bad fly hatcheries, unless
preventive measures are taken.
The accumulations on the dropping
boards and under the roosts left for
only a few days become n live mass of
maggots which in a short time increase
the fly population Of the farm by mil
lions.
Even when the poultry houses are
regularly cleaned every few days and
the anu stored in ordinary boxes or
barrels, the eggs continue to hatch
and the maggots wriggle through
cracks to the ground, and the fly in
crease goes on just the tame unless
the manure is treated with borax, he'll
lebore, or some other effective prepare
ton.
Experiments have shown that borax
is the most reliable and effective prep
a~ration. and the expense is also less.
The plan followed in treating manure
In this way is to have can busters of
borax in the poultry houses and sift a
little of the borax over the dropping
boards, or under the roosts, where no
dropping boards are used, making sure
to sift the borax thoroughly along the
edges where the fly maggots will move
when leaving the to escape In
to the ground.
Only a small quantity of the pow
dered borax is required-an ounce or a
trlfe more being sufficient for each
bushel of manure treated.
The cost of borax in 100-pound lots
obtained from %mail-order houses or
other Wholesale channels should not be
over five or six cents a pound, and
about nine cents purchased by the sin
gle pound. The cost per hen for treat
ing the manure during the f%ly-breedinl
season need not exceed "a half-ceni
a bird.

DAMAGE NOT CLAIMED.

l have seen prohibition achieved
within t~wenty-four hours In a COM
munity Of 100000 without authorize
ton from city, state or federal authori-
ties, and maintained absolutely for
nearly a month. The late General
Funston made San Francisco, probably
as bibulous a city as there is In the
country, bone-dry Immediately after
the earthquake of 1906, and kept it
in that unnatural state for three weeks.
/ do not think that General Funston's
authority to put San Francisco arbi-
trarily upon the water wagon was ever
questioned at the time or afterward,
although he had no such authority In
law. Perhaps one or two saloon own
ers did protest, but a protest delivered
to a man with a Krag-Jorgensen rifle
topped with a bayonet comes under the
head of little utilities. The liquor thus
cOnfiscated and destroyed illegally"

GEESE ARE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD RANGERS

lyand are extremely easy to raise, peo-
pie have not learned to relish goose
meat In the middle West. Raising
geese In large numbers would not be
profitable on account of distance 10

should raise enough geese for hsme
consumption and for the feathers for

geese are found in southeastern Kan.
sas among the German settlements"
The best breeds to raise In Kansas
are the Emden, a white goose, and
the Toulouse, n gray goose, In the
opinion of Mr.. Harris. These are the
largest geese. Because no water need
be provided for swimming purposes,
they are called "dry land geese.
While geese forage well and produce
meat chcaply, they are of little value
for egg production further than breed
Ing purposes. The young geese sell
dom lay more than 20 eggs a year and
from 80 to 40 is an exceptionally high
record for an older goose. Geese for
breeding purposes can be probably
kept until they are from eight to four
teen years old.

SELECTED EGGS FOR MARKET
Steadily Increasing Demand for Fresh
Product Of Good QuaIity-LittIe
Labor Required.

Eggs for market should be the most
Important source Of income from the
farm flock. There is a steadily increas-
ing demand for flesh eggs Of good
quality at profitable prices. In add
ton, eggs are produced with less labor
than other poultry products and are
more conveniently marketed.
Poultry for market should be the
second sourc Of income. Under pres
ent conditions, the larger part Of the
poultry meat produced on most farms
is a by-product produced and sold
with little regard to the cost Of pro-
duction. The poultry man should plan
for his work so that while producing
eggs for market, he may obtain con-
siderable revenue from the sale Of
broilers during June and July, fowls
during September and October, and
capons from January to April.

OS2.G37 w%orkingmen had petitioned
President Wilson, congress and the

after a two-page nd appeared signed
by officials of the Strengthen America

Council Of Churches. 1t presented the
following facts:
/. According to the latest official re-
port of the secretary, there are less
than 2,O92,6 37 members in the Ameri-
Gun Federation of Labor.
2. Yet the number of alleged signers
of this petition from but % states is
greater than the total membership
of the American Federation of Labor
throughout the entire country.
3. AS q matter of fact this petition
was not signed by individual working
men.
a. In most cases a small minority OF
the members of the organizations men,

tire membership.
8. Only 445 local bodies out Of o.
600 local labor unions are listed as
having signed the petition.
@. Only local labor bodies have n
right to speak officially for the great

8. In many cases In the unsigned ad-
vertisement individual trade unlonists
are counted again and again in the pc

international organizations; second, in
the. state bodies; third, in the central

cites and Personal Liberty leagues, are
counted a second time In bona-fide

"Waste ground may be inclosed with

"When the geese are six weeks Of
age they get their living from grass,
bugs, and worms, and require little II

however, is almost twice as high us

COMBINATION FOR HEN
Buckwheat and Rye Are Recon-
mended as Being All Right.
Former Supplies Crop Of Seed In Fall,
While Latter Supplies Green
Forage During Winter
Sow First of August.

Buckwheat and rye seems a funny
combination, but 1t Is all right when
you come to think about 1t. The buck
rye and will give a crop of seed in the
fall while the rye will give a crop of
green foliage during the winter. Then,
il you have bees, you will get another
profit from the b~uckwheat.
Sow your buckwheat and rye togeth-
err along about the first of August.
The buckwheat should be rather thin
so it will not shade the rye when 1t is
small, and one bu%ckwheat plant will
spread enough to take up a foot of
space. The foliage Is not dense and
rye will grow beneath 1t.
It Is not necessary to harvest the
seeds of b~uckwheat. 1t is best, though,
to keep the hens off it until the crop
Is well set or they will destroy the
later bloom in harvesting the first
seeds when I'm the milk. If the first
seeds ripen and drop 1t is no disad-
vantage, for the hens will gather them
NIL up when they are admitted. The
rye gets a better start also from hay
ing the hens shut off during the time 1t
Is starting. Hens love the small ten
der shoots and will keep them eaten
close II allowed to do so. They do not
need them in the fail, but they will
need all the growth the rye will make
during winter when there is no other
green.
If you will provide a field of rye
| and b%uckwheat and will turn the hens
into 1t just before 1t gets cold In the
fall and let them put themselves In
| good condition for winter laying, they
cannot help but give a good account Of
themselves. Feed some meat scraps
or milk in addition to their regular
grain ration and this extra green and
seed, and you give them an ideal start.
The crop of buckwheat is worth more
than Its grain value at this season.
Then 1t is a splendid feed supplied
without the cost of harvesting, and on
ground that would not be used for
anything else Mt this season.
Rye will keep green all winter and
will carry the hens well into the spring
with n ~succulent green feed so neces-
sary to secure the best fertility in the
eggs. One Of the reasons why early
eggs lack IN fertility is the lack OF
green feed at this season.
If rye cannot be had, wheat will
answer very well in its place, but rye
gives a heavier growth. If sown early
and given a good start, wheat will give
q good account Of itself.

USEFUL RUNWAY FOR CHICKS

WATER AND GRIT FOR CHICKS
Best Not to Feed Youngsters Anything
Until They Get Accustomed to
New Surroundings.

Chicks may have water and grit I'm
mediately after being placed In the
hover, but 1t is best not to feed them
for a few hours until they get accus-
toned to the brooder. The first food
may be bread and milk, johnny-cake
baked hard ard fed dry, or dry grain
chick feed. Some poulterers assert that
a feed of clabbered milk is good be-
cause the acid in the milk has a tend
ency to kill any germs that may exist
In the digestive organs.
