Tel goose, which is hybrid made by
crossing one of these varieties, or the
common goose, with wild geese
Crosses of the varieties Of geese, espe-
cially of the Toulouse and Embden,
are occasionally made, but without any
apparent gain. The Toulouse, Emb.
den, Chinese, and African are easily
the most popular breeds Of geese In
this country, the first two greatly lead.
ing the other breeds. All economic
breeds Of geese are kept primarily for
the production of flesh and feathers /;
and although their eggs are occasion
ally used for culinary purposes on the
farm, there is no demand for them for
food purposes in the markets.
The Toulouse, the largest Of the
standard breeds of geese, is a good
layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs a
year, Is docile, grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
Its dark pinfeathers make 1t a slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Embden.
The Embden, q large white goose,
slightly smaller and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is only
a fair layer and is usually less prolific
than the Toulouse. This breed has
white pin feathers, is rapid grow
err, and natures early.
The African. gray goose with q
distinct brown shade, about the size
of the Embden, Is a good layer and
makes a good market goose, although
it has the Objectionable dark pin
feathers. 1t Is a rapid grower and
natures early.
There are two standard varieties
Of Chinese geese, the Brown and the
White. Both varieties mature early
and are said to be prolific layers and
rapid growers, but shy and rather diff.
flcult to handle.
The wild goose is bred to some ex-
tent In captivity, and the young are
sold to hunters to use as decoys. The
wild gander Is used to cross with
either the common or the purebred
goose, producing the so-called Mongrel
goose. This Mongrel goose is highly
priced as market goose, but is sterile
and cannot breed.
The Egyptian goose is a small,
brightly colored goose, kept for orna.
mental purposes and rarely seen in
this country. 1t resembles the wild
goose in shape and weighs two pounds
less in each class.

peaches do well also on q wide range
of soil types, including even some of

Peaches will not succeed on poorly

TEACH THE BOYS FRENCH
Simple Lessons That Are Given to Our

A Y. M. G. A. director said to me,
hesitatingly, and in French as pIously
soft as sensen tablet: won't you
please help us with our French classes
which we are having every night for
the American soldiers in Paris? Men

classes for nothing and we want to de.

the soldiers to know something besides
the bad part Of France-the women
who talk to them on the boulevards,
but not for nothing"
And so here l am. The room Is a
small one. Around an oval table are
a dozen young gentlemen who, at first
sight, appear to be engaged in clan
destine poker game. At the head Of
the table is a French professor in the
uniform Of an interpreter, armed only
with a conversation manual. Under
his direction the class chants in chorus
aphorisms calculated to stir the i'm
aginations of the eager young stu
dents, such as these: "Cette femme q
cinq dOigts sa main gauche" Chat
woman has five fingers on her left
HANDY, and I'll y deuX donzaines de
plumes sur cette table" (there are two
dozen pens on the table,.
And then came mysterious and dis

The desirable temperature at which

This is usually obtained under normal
conditions when the churning occupies
30 or 40 minutes. The necessary churn-

season of the year and certain other
factors, but Is usually from so to 60
degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and

season to season the churning temper
allure is regulated so that the butter

When the temperature is either too
low or too high, undesirable results
are obtained. A low temperature pro-
longs the churning period unnecessa-

since they injure the quality Of the
butter. If the proper churnng TEN

What "Maru" Means

The word "Maru," attached to the

and commonly accepted as meaning
ship has no especial meaning, ac-
cording to Captain Takeshima of the
Japanese steamship Hudson Maru, re-
Gently captured and released by Ger

tain Takeshima said that the word Is
the survival of a Japanese custom
centuries old. He explained the Or
1gin as follows: "There are two opin-
ions as to how the custom originated.
One Of the stories Is that In ancient
times the japanese attached 'maru'
to the name Of anything highly priced.
1t was first applied to a ships name
about 1000 years ago, when the EN-
press lingo sent an expedition to
Korea. She added the word to the
name of the ship that transported the
troops to Korea. Ever since then

colder than at points somewhat dis
tant from it. Vegetation within the
zone of this influence advances more
slowly In the spring than 1t does out
side of that zone. The tendency is
for the poisoning of peach trees
within the zone to be delayed until
after the season of spring frosts is
past.
In the fall, frosts are delayed. The
water, having absorbed much heat
during the summer, coOls off in the
fall more slowly than the atmosphere
and tends to keep the temperature
within its zone of influence warmer
than it would otherwise be.
The slope factor is largely one of de-
gree. Peach trees on site having a
very steep southern slope will usually
blossom and the fruit will ripen some
what earlier than on a corresponding
northern slope, but where the differ
ences in slope are only moderate their
relative influence on the time of bios
SOmlng ana rlpenlng is not very
marked.
Aside from economic factors, tenn
perature probably is the most decisive
limiting factor in the distribution of
commercial peach growing. Usually
the fruit buds are the first to suffer
injury. No absolute minimum temper
allure which the peach is able to with.
stand without injury can be given,
The condition Of the buds with regard
to their strength, vitality, and perfect
dormancy, the duration of the critical
temperature, the climatic conditions
following the cold period, perhaps the
amount of moisture In the air during
the period, and other factors all have
an influence.
