STANDARD BREEDS OF GEESE
Fowls Should Be Selected for Size,

In order to obtain best results in
raising geese they should be selected
for size, prOlificacy, and vitality. Six
breeds of geese have been admitted
to the American standard of peFfec-
ton, namely Toulouse, Embden, Chi
nese, African, Wild or Canadian, and
Egyptian. In addition TO the stand
ard breeds there is the so-calIed Mon
greI 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
year, is dOcile, grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
its dark pinfeathers make it a slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Embden.
The Embden, a large white goose.
slightly smaller and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is only
a fair layer and is usually less prolific

The oldest work OF fiction extant
is thought to be the Tale OF Two Broth

Theban scribe Ennana, librarian OF the
palace OF King Menepthah, the sup

tale, 1T appears, was written for the

His name appears in two places in the
manuscript, probably the only surFiy-

INCREASE IN POULTRY URGED
Poor Policy for NoViees to Begin on
Large SeaIe-ouite Likely to
Lead to Failure.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment OF Agricuiture)
1t should be borne in mind that an
Increase in poultry production is sought
not for this year alone, but for the en-
tire duration Of the war. It is not
urged that noTices without expert
ence engage in poultry keeping on 8
large scale. That is recognised as
poor policy at any time and is more
likely to lead to failure and eventual
decrease than to a steady and perma-
nent increase in production. What is
urged is that those who are already
poultry growers to some extent and
possess the information and ability
necessary successfully to increase their
stock and production should do so.

MEXICAN MATCH A CURIOSITY
is Made of Short Piece of Cotton
String, With Head At
Each End.

The Mexican friction match, from
our point OF view, is a curiosity. For
one thing, 1t Is not made Of wood, but
is a short piece OF cotton string. Sec
Jndly, il has two heads.
There Is an undeniable advantage
about a match with two heads. II one
fails TO light there is another in re-
serve. But the Mexican matches, to
do them Justice. rarely go out One
can strike them successfully In a fair
breeze.
This is because the cotton string is
coated with wax. In Mexico there are
factories in which such matches are
turned out by ingenious machines, but
billions Of them are made by hand in
laboriOus fashion, the strings being
tipped with phosphorus composition
by girls and boys whose wages are a
few cents a day.
One match in Mexico is really two
matches. Thus, when the native starts
a fire or lights a cigarette with a fresh
one, he tucks the string back into his
pocket for use next time.

DehOrning cattle is almost universal

are easier to handle, have an equal

Finding Help for Harvest.

Kansas answered the call for In

course, that a tremendous amount Of
man power would be required to har-

The statewide campaign for town

May. Representatives OF the United

MOTOR TRUCKTO
TRANSPORT EGGS
Producers Find Experiment So
Satisfactory That They Will
Extend Service.
QUICK DELIVERY IS RESULT
Fruits; Vegetables and Other Products
in Season to Be Carried-Mer-
chandise Is Hauled by Trucks
on Return Trips.

Last year producers of eggs near
VineIand and Millville, New Jersey,
had difficulties getting their eggs to
dealers in New York City. This year,
however, they travel direct by motor
truck to the dealers doors and arrive
in less time and with less loss from
breakage than in other seasons.
This community of producers has
found the results of their experiment
OF shipping eggs by motor truck so
successful that they are planning to
extend their efforts to cover fruits and
vegetables, poultry, and other products
in season.
Eggs by Motor Truck.
Following a season in which trans
portation troubles made shipments to
New York City unsatisfactory the
farmers sought assistance from the
bureau of markets of the United States
department of agriculture, and spe-
cialists on motor-truck marketing made
a survey Of the situation This was
followed by group of producers agree
ing to ship their eggs by motor truck
and to bring the cases to designated
places along the route the truck was
to cover. A large commercial motor
truck company, operating a fleet of
trucks between New York and Phila-
delphia, was interested and agreed to
make a detour on their trips to New
York, to which city their trucks had
often Travelled without being loaded,
to take in Vineland and Millville. Lo-
cal farmers and merchants in these
two towns agreed to give their hauling
business from Philadelphia to the truck
company and thus insure a full load
for the trucks all the way from Phila-
delphia to New York.
Capacity Of Trucks.
The trucks have a capacity of about
five tons, and can take 2G0 crates Of
eggs. On the first trip only $50 cases
were ready at the roadside and the bal
ance Of the load was made up. of Grated
glass from Vineland and Millville. This
first load went the 40 miles in the
record tine of Is hours with not an
egg broken on the way. The truck
went across on the ferry boat from the
New Jersey shore, and the eggs were
delivered on the sidewalks in front
of the wholesale houses. On the re-
turn trip the truck hauled merchandise
from New York direct to Philadelphia.
Some OF the dealers in New York
City are offering a premium OF from
one-half to one and one-half cents q
dozen for eggs shipped by motor
truck from Vineland and MflIville, be
cause the eggs arrive in better condi-
ton and In quicker time than when
shipped by rail. This premium alone
more than covers the difference in cost
of shipping by motor truck and by rail,
and, in addition to the time saved, the
mOtor-truck service is more dependable
and gives better delivery. The eggs, |
as yet, are not pooled, but consist of
individual shipments to a number OF
dealers.
