but the beauty of it was they were
using their talents. Down on their
knees they were praying for lost
souls from here to France, and all
over the world, with sweet songs and
talks, good enough, 1t seemed to me,
to touch the hardest heart. The young

live stock to which it is fed should
be permitted to have as much of it
as they will eat up clean. We should
feed peavine hay and alfalfa in
Slated racks, placed under a shell

the racks each day will be eaten
Just as the animals take the notion
and will be practically all used to
advantage in the manner indicated.
You do not state whether you wish
to fatten your cattle or not. In the
event you do not, the ration suggested
should carry them through in fairly
good condition with what they will
pick up in the fields from time to
time. If you wish to finish these
dry cattle and sell for beef, we would
advise that you feed in addition a
concentrated ration made up one
third to one-half cottonseed meal
and corn, or one-third each of cotton
seed meal, velvet bean meal (hulls
included) and corn, or If you prefer
you may substitute peanut meal for
the cottonseed meal The initial
grain ration should not be over two
pounds per day and should be in
creased gradually, so that at the end
of ninety days the animal will be cat
ing six to eight pounds per day OF
this mixture.

seIar and sidereaI Yeara

Our word solar is derived from the
Latin word sol, meaning the sun, and
the term solar year means the period
occupied by the earth In making its
revolution around the sun. Ordina-
lily we call that 365 days. but to be
astronomically exact, 1t is 365 days, 5
hours, 48 minutes, and As seconds.
The word sidereal Is derived from the
Latin sidus, & star, and sldereal year
means the period OF the earth's revol1-
ton around the sun as measured by
the stars. The sidereal year IS a few
minutes longer than the solar year.

PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Young Fowls Can Be Fed Advantage

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agricultural
Before marketing the young geese
the average farmer can feed advan-
tageously q fattening ration. either
while the geese are on grass range or
confined to small yards, but 1t is doubt
full whether 1t would pay him to con-
fine them to Individual or small pens
and make a speciality of fattening un-
less he has a special market or retail
trade for well-fattened stock.
Geese are usually killed and picked
in the same manner as other kinds of
poultry. Some markets prefer dry
picked geese, while in other markets
no difference is made in the price of
scalded or dry-picked geese. When
feathers are to be saved, fowls should
not be scalded but should be picked
dry before or after steaming.

may be raised in small numbers sue
cessfully and at a profit on farms
where there is low, rough pasture land
with a natural supply of water. Geese
are generally quite free from disease
and insect pests, but occasionally are
affected by ailments common to poul-
try. Grass makes up the bulk of their
food. and for this reason pasturage is
essential. A body of water, while not
absolutely essential, is valuable where
geese are raised, and some breeders
consider it important during the breed
ing season. Geese are good foragers,
and for this reason many farmers in
the South keep them to kill the weeds
in the cotton fields.
Geese need little protection in the
way of a house, except in winter and
during stormy weather. Some kind Of
a shelter should be provided for the
young gOslings, and the same precau-
lions taken in raising chickens as to
keep the coops and houses clean and
provided with plenty of straw scat
tered about the floor, should be taken.
Geese like other kinds of poultry,
should be selected for size, prolificacy
and vitality. They should be mated
several months prior to the breeding
season to obtain the best results. Good
matings are not changed from year to
year unless the results are unsatisfac
tory. A gander may be mated with
from one to four geese, but pair or
trio matings usually give the best re-
suits. When mated. geese are allowed
to run in f1Ocks. From four to twenty
five geese may be kept on an acre of
land, and under most conditions ten
is a fair average.
