AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
RAISING GEESE

Practically all the geese in this coun- try are raised in small flocks on general farms. and few, if any farms are devot- ed entirely to raising geese. Reese can be raised successfully in small numbers and at profit on farms where there is plenty of grass or pasture land with a natural supply of water. The birds both young and old, are very hardy and are rarely affected by any disease or insect pests. Grass makes up the bulk of the feed for geese, and 1t is doubtful whether it pays to raise them unless good grass range is available. Geese are the closest and the partially grown gosIings will get known gTazers, and both the mature geese their entire living from a pasture so long as the grass remains green
 A body of water where they can swim is considered essential during the breed ing season, and is desirable during the rest of the year. If there is no natural pond. an artificial one or tanks may be supplied to advantage. The market for gees Is not so general as for chickens thts fact should be considered poultry specialists in the United States Depart ment of Agriculture say, in undertaking to raise. The demand and the price paid for geese are usually good in sections where goose fattening ifs conducted on a large scale Many fgeese are kept in the south for the production of feathers rather than for their fesh but the use of feathers Is not so general as 1t has been, making that end of the business less profitable.

STORES HENS REACHING
 HIGH EGG LAYING MARX

The hens at Storrs are celebrating the tenth anniversary of the estaDlishr1-
 of laying competitions in America. The average of previous years at the end of April has been approximately 68, 600 eggs but in the tenth contest now running the 1000 hens have laid over TABOO eggs. This means then that these hens have laid over 5000 eggs more than the management of the contest expected, all pf which is of course very gratifying 10 the owners who have sent their birds to Storrs for the ostensible purpose of inak- ing high records. in general, a mixed poultry population ln a laying contest will produce in the first SIX months 43 per cent. of the number of eggs they will lay for the entire year. On this basis it is predicted that the hens now at Storrs will lay, by the end of next October, more than 172,O0O eggs
 With this high average yield it natu- rally follows that the race is fast and furious. In the closing week of the first half year a pen of Buff Wyandottes owned by Hollis P. Cloves, Silver Lane Conn.,, tied for first place with two pens of White Leghorns entered by Mrs J. L. Theusen of New Haven, Conn, and Emory H. Bartlett, Enfield, Massachu- sets.

NITRATE OF SODA.

Nitrate of soda, or Chilean saltpeter, is the cheapest and quickest-acting fer tilizer supplying the nitrogen to plants Nitrogen is the stalk and leaf grower ; phosphorus is the plant ripener, and pot ash is the plant strengthener and starch former.
 Since nitrate produces leaf and stalk growth, it follows that for vegetables of which the stalk and leaves form the edible portion, this is the fertilizer to use. Cabbage and lettuce are the chief benefciaries of nitrate, but as a garden tonic, to be used whenever something seems to be needed to prevent a check in growth, this fertilizer is, perhaps, the most frequently in use of any in the home gardeners frst-aid kit.
 once started, garden vegetables should grow steadily without check. If cabbages do not advance rapidly, all the remedies for worms are likely to prove unayailing. Head lettuce is impossible without rapid growth. Some gardeners insist that the regular use of nitrate keeps worms off cabbages; certainly the ravages of this pest are far less danger ous where the growth is stimulated. Whenever plants are moved, when a dry spell threatens to stop progress, at any Interruption from any cause which threatens to check garden development, nitrate may be called upon to counter

 Nitrate is not used as a dressing be- fore sowing the seed. It is never applied until the plants to be treated are grow ing. If allowed to touch the plant it will kill the growth it touches The ut most care must be used in applying 1t. The home gardener may find 1t most con- venient to dissolve 1t in water, one ounce to two gallons; and pour from half to one cup near the roots of the plant to be treated. An easier method is to sprinkle the nitrate lightly on the soil between the rows after cultivating, and rake it into the dust mulch. Small and frequent doses are best; teaspoon at 8 time is enough for a well grown cabbage plant
 With nitrate of soda and the mixed fertilizer used as first dressing, the home gardener can supply reasonably all demands for plant food, and if his soil is fairly supplied with hunus he needs only assurance of sufficient moisture and req sonable diligence in cultivation and spraying to guarantee him good crops provided, of course, that his seed is good.

and then, while the poults are but a few days old, she catches a grasshopper or other insect and calls the poults to come and get it They soon learn to find their own feed, however, and range out ahead of the mother hen in search Of whatever they can find.
 Young turkeys usually remain with the mother hen until about October or No- vember, when the males ordinarily sep arate from the females and range by themselves. When two turkey hens with broods of about the same age are turned out on free range together they will re- main in one flock and as this makes 1t easier to hunt them up and care for them 1t is advisable to turn out two or three hens with their broods together when they are given free range. It is not a good plan to have more than this number of young poults in one flock, says poultry specialists in the United States depart ment of agriculture, as they may all try to crowd under one or two hens to be lowered.

THE MorHER oF PoULrs

For poults the turkey hen is the best mother than can be found. She knows their needs and can talk to them in a language that they soon learn to undr- stand. At the approach of any danger she gives low, warning note that sends them scurrying in every direction for a weed or patch of grass where they can lie fiat on the ground safely hidden from view. While on free range she keeps her brood together by talking continuously in a contented, purring tone so that the poults know where she is.
 When her poults become widely sepa- rated or if some become lost and she hears their peep, peep" she calls them with the characteristic yelp heard so frequently during the laying season. Now

aRAss SEASON IS sHorr

Few of us realize 1row short the grass season really is north of the Mason and Dixon Line. It is customary to consider 1t is six months; but this is stretching it pretty far. It is seldom if ever profit able to turn stock on pasture much be- fore May 1, and almost always pastures are about dried up in September. So ac- tually, there are only about four months that pastures can be depended upon. This is worth keeping in mind when planning the sig of the silo or silage field-ftyure on eight months of feeding. The man whose stock goes through the winter best is the one that doesn't allow them to be- come thin before frost.

COMPOST MANURE

Compost manure is valuable for the garden. Use all kinds of waste, such as sweepings, spoiled ladder, ashes, weeds gathered before seeding, leaves, dish and wash water, etc. The various materials are heaped up in layers alternating with the soil and kept moist by occasional sprinkling with water or liquid manure To insure uniformity in the mixture of the varous materials inEthe compost, the heaps should be frequently turned. When the admixture Is thorough the compost can be used. Care must be taken that weeds do not grow on the heaps. If pos sible. the heaps should be located near where the manure is to be used

A much simpler irrigation system con- sists of small furrows. made along the rows of plants, which are filled with water. After the water has soaked into the soil the furrows should be filled with dry soil. In order to irrigate by the fur row system the land must be reasonably level or slope gradually in one direction. Little banks of earth can be put in the furrow at intervals to hold the water from flowing to the lower end, thus dis tributing it to every part of the row.
