GOsLlNGS NEED GREEN FEED
Very Little Grain Is Required Until
Fowls Are Fully Feathered-
Water Is Essential.

Goslings do not need feed until they
are Sc hours old or more, when they
should be given stale bread soaked in
milk or water, to which finely chopped
boiled eggs may be added. Feed three
or four times daily for the first two
or three weeks, with chopped grass or
some other green feed added, this lat
ter to be increased in quantity from
the first. Plenty Of fresh, clean wa
ter should be supplied, and five per
cent of fine grit or sharp sand may
be added to the feed or kept in a
hopper before the geslings.
After two or three weeks, if the
goslings have a good grass range, they
need only n light feed daily of a
mash made up of two parts shorts
and n part of cornmeaI or ground
oats or ground barley. After they are
six weeks old, if they still need extra
feed, change the mash to equal parts
shoEts, cornmeal and ground oats, with
five per cent meat scrap. Where the
pasture is good, many goslings are
raised from the time they are two or
three weeks old to fattening time with
cut any grain feed, but the addition
of a mash as described above is an adj
vantage at all times. Whole grains are
not usually fed until the goslings are
well feaihered.

Trees Public Property.

The pioneers planted forest or
shade trees when there was scarcely
an argument for their planting-when
they were hemmed in and surrounded
by virgin forest, writes c. F. Bley in
the American Forestry Magazine of
Washington. Today we are enjoying
the fruits of their devotion, wisdom
and forethought. Shall we do less
when there is so much more need-for
the rising generations and for those
yet unborn? Not every husbandman
has appreciated the value of shade
trees, witness the ruthless cutting
down and making into cordwood OF
whole lines of noble, stalwart sugar
naples! A legal enactment in every
state providing that every tree now
or hereafter standing within the legal
road boundary shall be considered
public property is suggested.

TAKING CITY. INTO COUNTRY
England Putting Into Effect Scheme
Which Seems to Be Along Lines
of Common Sense.

In England, instead of developing
suburban communities, they are trying
the scheme of taking the city into the
country, to the benefit of the city and
doing no harm to the country. Every
new development in England will be
practically a garden city, with plenty
Of open spaces, recreation grounds,
golf courses, well-placed factories and
industrial sections, and healthful resi-
Dental quarters. The worker will
have his patch of ground, and the
usual smoke and CRIME of industrial
communities will be nonexistent.
\ Town-planning schemes, many of
them conceived before the new idea
was generally adopted, were naturally
much delayed by preoccupation during
the years of war with more urgent
matters and since the war by a hous-
ing scheme which occupied the full at
tention of the technical staffs of the
local authorities. For the best results
town planning should have preceded
housing. Owing to the extreme urgency
OIL the latter, however, 1t nad to go Tor
ward first.
In all building schemes and pro-
posals for improvement there is, occa-
sionally, injury done to owners Of
property by the invasion of rights they
have enjoyed for many years. Com
pensation in such cases is payable to
the injured owner. No claim can be
made, however, for injury to buildings
erected, or improvements made subse-
quent to the scheduling of the area for
town planning. And the further i'm
portant provision is made: That au-
thorities can claim one-half of the in
crease in value Of property consequent
upon the town-planning scheme. The
government now realizes the CONNER
cial value of town planning and has
no intention of creating private for
tune by it's intervention.

"Hedgers."

Hedgers are folks who never come
out into the open. They are timid
souls who would like to run some
thing if they weren't afraid they might
make a mistake. Sometimes these
jewellers by the side have good ideas,
but they are afraid to air them. They
fear criticism and escape that incen-
tive to better effort if they possibly
can. So they continue living in the
shade of. the hedges and never doing
anything to bring them into their best.
And because of their peculiar thinking
and habits they are not even harmless.
Such folks need a fire in the hedge or
something else that will make them be-
stir themselves, and do things worthy
Of men and the times.

TO WAGE HARD FIGHT
AGAINST CORN BORER
Steps Taken to Prevent Spread
of Insect Pest.
Specialists in Charge of Work Have
Completed Plans for Carrying on
Work-Infested Area Borders
on Lake Erie.

ment of Agr1cuture.)

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of AgT1culture.)
Suppressive measures against the
European corn borer are to be applied
vigorously this spring in the western
part of New York state to test the pos
sibility of preventing the natural
spread of this pest. Specialists Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture in charge of the work have COM
pleted their plans, which will be car
ried out in cooperation with state
agencies.
The infested area where the expert
ment is to be tried out borders on Lake
Erie and partly on that section Of Can
ada where the corn borer made its ap-
pearance last year. The fight is to be
carried against the insect while in it's
winter quarters. The corn stubble
and refuse that have been lying in the
fields since last years harvest will be
cleaned up and burned.
Meanwhile, as another method of at
tack, thousands of COO Of a small,
wasp-like insect whose grub has been
found to be a parasitic enemy of the
corn borer are being sent to the Uni
ted States by a representative of the
department who is in southern France
studying the enemies of the pest. Thus
far about 5000 cocoons have been re-
ceived at the Boston Office Of the de-
partment, where they are Matched out
and the winged insects liberated in
hundreds IN infested fields. The Eu-
ropean corn borer, which has been
known in this country but a few
years, is looked upon as one of the
most dangerous insect pests that have
made their appearance in the United
States. Some fears are entertained
that it will eventually make its way
to the corn belt. Infestations Of the
pest occur in sections of New York
and Massachusetts,, where federal
quarantine to check the spread of the
insect are in force.

LITTLE FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Some Community Hints That Will Re-
pay the Few Minutes They Will
Take to Read.

Some men will not pay 81 a year to
support a commercial organization but
will cheerfully hand over 500 for a
hunting dog.
If town building was like scandal,
everybody would push 1t along.
Agassiz says a full-grown man can
live ten days chewing the leather of a
boot. But no full-grown town can live
chewing the rag. 4
Job, according to historical belief,
was a patient man, but he never was a
commercial secretary and had an i'm
portant committee out.
Some towns don't do things to please
themselves but to worry their neigh
Dor.
More dangerous than any foreign
foe is to endeavor to make n citizen
hate another.
A community is much like an egg.
Keep it in BOT water and it is bound to
become hard.

tary with a $4,000 deficit in his organi-

Walnut Has Many Advantages.

Walnut is a good tree to plant
along highways, because it grows Its
branches high, which lets in the sun
and allows the rapid drying out of the
road. 1t is immune to fungous dis
eases, and, with the exception of one
or two caterpillars, insects will leave
it alone.
On account Of it's peculiar taste
horses and other animals will not nib
bic these trees; So, taking it all
