Careless handling Of milk tubes, and

should have plenty of room to avoid
the possibility of cows stepping on the

FEAR EXTINCTION OF HOLLY

Christmas holly, that merriest and

to a warning sounded by lovers of

Maryland, 1t has been swept from
those states by the ruthless cutters
for the city markets, and must now
be sought in the swamps of Virginia
and North Carolina, where already the
supply is growing less bountiful each
year. The Gulf states have been SIM
ilarly shorn to provide holly for New
Orleans, st. Louis and Chicago.
Within another generation. botan--
lists say, holly will be as rare as mistle-

SURGERY NEEDED FOR TREES
Moet pereons With Little Practice Can
Undertake Ordinary Repair
Work Necessary.

The best, safest and most economi-
cal plan to prevent future extensive
injury and decay, or to prevent the
early Disagreement or death Of the
tree, is to attend to all injuries as
soon as they occur. say specialists OF
the United States Department Of Ag'
riculture. This kind Of work Is COM
paratively simple and inexpensive.
Tree surgery has become an estab-
lished industry in all cities, and 1t is
often profitable to employ the services
of those trained in this work, but most
persons can, with a little preliminary
practice on the simpler types of work,
undertake ordinary tree repair pro-
vided they are familiar with the use
of the gouge and mallet, a saw, and
a paintbrush. A steady head and
ability to climb will be necessary for

Different KINDS OF GEESE
of Large Size-Emden and Chi
nese Are Liked.

The Toulouse is the giant Of the
geese family. 1t is native of France.
Its ordinary weight is from Is to 20
pounds, but 1t is not uncommon to
find specimens weighing from Is to 80
pounds. This is the typical gray goose,
but beneath and behind these body
feathers are white areas in the plu-
mage.
1t is said by those who have had
experience with this breed that young
geese during the first year lay from
ID to 70 eggs, when older they may
lay from 25 to 40.
The Emden is a popular breed In
some places. The bodies of the birds
are snowy white, the legs and bills
yellow. They have good type and
conformation. In size it is the same
as standard for the Toulouse, though
it Is said smaller number of EN-
den reach this standard than the Tou
louise.
The Emden, when well bred, prop
erly fed and prepared, makes a car

But 1t is said that many breeders in
this country have not given much at
tentiOn to fine quality.
There are two varieties Of Chinese
geese, Brown and White. This breed
has different characteristics from the
others mentioned. The birds stand
more erect and have longer and slen-
derer necks than the others. The
Brown Chinese have at the base of
the bill a peculiar dark-colored knob.
The Brown is considered the most
prolific of all the geese. The stand
ard weight for the gander is 10 pounds,
goose II pounds. The female is said
to lay from 40 to so eggs, sometimes
more. A large per cent of the eggs
are generally fertile
The African Is not at all common
in this country. The color of this
breed is dark gray on the back and
light beneath. There is a dark stripe
ON the neck that extends well down
the back. The bill is black and has
a knob something like that of the
Brown Chinese.
The color of the eggs is orange.

cuts, completely blocking the road.
Oil is the only agency yet found to
stop the trouble. The equipment used
to spray the crude Oil consists OF two
supply tanks, or drums, in which the
oil is carried from the storage tank
at the railway siding, and tractor,
which draws the oiling rig and sup
plies the steam through q hose to the
compressor tank, which Is carried on
a trailer. The Oil is heated by the
steam and forced through a hose with
q nozzle consisting of half-inch pipe.
The steam atomizes the oil and sends
it in a fine spray for 100 feet or more,
on whether the spray Is
projected in the direction of the wind
or against it. For obvious reasons,
spraying is usually carried on in the
direction of the wind.
Where sufficient Oil is used, this

that the cost will not be excessive,

Oats are a better grain feed than
corn for carrying the geese through the
winter. Corn should be used sparing-
ly as geese fatten easily and If. the
birds are overfat the eggs will show
low percentage of fertility.
Geese are much like cows In needing
