Christmas in many homes Is in
complete without them, and for that
reason the best season in which to
market the goose is the latter part
of December, although there is lin
tied demand all the year.
Goose raising is not so extensively
engaged in as duck raising, the con-
ditions under which they can be sue
cessfully raised being almost entirely
different from those necessary for sue
cesSful duck raising. The duck, be-
ing smaller, can be raised In more
limited space than can the goose, the
latter needing free range and water,
while the former has been proved to
do we'll without water.
While the goose cannot proftably
be raised in as large numbers as the
duck, still it cannot justly be termed
Improbable. There are many places
on farm that are worthless for cul-
tivati0n that could be utilized with ex-
celent results for goose raising.
Fields that have streams, branches, or
unused springs on them could be
turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. A goose on
range will gather the largest portion
of it's food, consisting of grasses, in
scots. and other animal and vegetable
matter to be found in the fields and
brooks.
Young geese are fattened by placing
them In pen. not too large, so that
they will not exercise too much, and
by feeding them once a day all they
will eat up clean Of moist mash
made of one-half shorts and two-thirds
cornmeal, and two feeds daily of corn
with some oats or barley. While fat
tening young geese they should be
kept as quiet as possible; no excite

Advice on Keeping Grades Separated

Unless there is d scarcity of market
able hay or an unusual demand the
shipping of poor hay to market gen.
orally results in loss either to the
producer or shipper. When but little
hay of inferior quality is arriving on
a market it is usually absorbed along
with the good hay at a discount rang
ing from 81 to 81 per ton for each
grade, each lower grade selling at a
discount of from 81 to 81 under the
grade next above it.
When receipts of low-grade hay are
heavy, there is generally wide spread
In the discount, so that No. 2 hay
frequently will not bring within
from S. to SO of the price at
which the No. l grade of the same
kind of hay is selling. Also a poor
demand almost always results in heavy
discounts on the lower grades and
buyers show preference for the
better hay even at a higher price.

Investigations by specialists in the
bureau of markets and crop esti-
mates, United States Department of
Agriculture, show that when any hay
producing section has had unfavorable
hay-making weather, which has caused
hay to become too ripe or stained or
otherwise damaged, growers or ship
pers in that section are prone to
lower their ideas as to grade require
ments. The best hay in the territory
becomes No. l, whether it fills the
technical requirements Of that grade
or not the lower grades are graded
accordingly. This tendency toward
leniency in grade interpretations Is
often communicated to or reflected in
the tributary markets, especially If
there is a brisk demand.
Indeed, there are so many factors
which enter into the marketing Of off
producers or shippers of such hay ever
to obtain entirely satisfactory results,
and the department believes that in
most instances it would be a much
more profitable procedure to use off
grade or damaged hay on the farm or
to sell it locally to someone who has
use for that particular kind Of hay.
When it is not possible to dispose of
the hay in this way and it must be
marketed because of financial reasons
or lack Of storage, the department
states that the employment of the fol

FRESH WATER IS ESSENTIAL
Generally Recognized as Its
Value Demands

A scratch mixture should be fed
the poultry flock morning and night
and light feed in the morning. All
fowls then will eat at night so they
will go on the roosts with full crops.
An abundance Of fresh, pure water is
needed. The Importance of this mat
ter Is not so generally recognized as
its value demands. 1t is not enough
to fill up the water vessels In the
morning-it will pay to give fresh
supply along with the evening feed.
Grit and oyster shell are needed, for
fowls on free range soon exhaust the
natural supply of small, sharp stones
that have any grinding value In the
gizzard.

Farmers from far and near were eX-

local tradesmen.
One Of the leading shopmen went to
the nearest city to buy supply of stuff
to sell during the fete. His wife stayed
at home to attend to the shop in his
absence.
The first thing that he bought was a
quantity of confetti. He sent that home
by carter overnight, and wired to his
wife as follows:

NEXT day he received this wire from
his wife:

COMMERCIAL SCRATCH GRAIN
Value of Any Mixture viii Depend
Upon Its Composition and
- Quality Of Grains.

A large number of commercial mix
lures both Of scratch grains and Of
ground grains are prepared for poul-
try feeds, but the value of any mixed
commercial feed depends upon it's
composition and the quality of tho
grains used in Its preparation. If a
poultry raiser does not produce any
grain and keeps a comparatively small
number Of fowls 1t is often better for
him to buy commercial mixed feeds.
The average farmer, however, should
feed homegrown grains supplemented
with mill feeds and meat scrap. ant

Cars With Equal Care as to Grades.
lowing suggestions for preparing and
shipping the hay will result in more
profitable returns:
Keeping Grades Separated.
I. Grade your hay according to COM
mercial standards rather than local
ideas.
2. Load cars uniformly and invoice
correctly.
8. Choose markets carefully relative
to their demand for the kind of hay
to be marketed.
When baling from the stack, hay on
the top or sides that Is weather dam
aged should be ralied or cut off. The
hay near the ground at the bottom Of
the stack also is generally damaged
too much to be baled with the good
hay. Special care should be taken in
trimming the stack to remove all dam
aged or stained hay. A little Of this
hav in a bale or car will cause a
heavy discount, whereas It can usually

which will bring n better market price
When the hay has been baled and
separated into grades according to
quality, 1t should be loaded into the
cars with equal care MS to grades If
not sufficient hay of one grade is avail
able. for car, another grade may be
loaded but should be segregated and
not loaded promiscuously with the
other hay. It is also good practice
to invoice the hay exactly, stating the
number Of bales Of each kind.
A choice quality Of hay will sell
well In almost any market. Under
present standards lower grades are
more difficult to dispose of. Some
markets have better demand for GER
tain grades than others. 1t Is I'm
portant that the shipper knows at
what market the best demand exists

FARM RELIEF BILL
RAISES FALSE HOPES
BUT LITTLE HELP SEEN FOR
SOIL TILLERS. RESERVE
BOARD WILL STAND PAT.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Congress
would raise false hopes by the passage
of resolutions promising financial re-
lief to the farmer, in the opinion OF OF
icia1s in the executive branch OF the
government. The senate has passed a
resolution directing the secretary OF
the treasury to revive the war finance
corporation, and expressing to the led
erai reserve board the opinion that lib
eral credit should be extended the
farmers of the country.
This action of the senate was follow
ed by a favorable vote in the house
and then congress had discharged its
obligation to the farmers who have
been clamoring for help as prices de-
clined. But the truth is the resolution
will be practically ignored and will not
aid the situation, and the farmer who
relies on it is apt to be in worse SIT
uation than the one who does not. In
yestigation at the executive end OF the
government reveals the fact, for in
stance that Governor Harding, OF the
federal reserve board, will stand pat
and will not regard the. opinion ex-
pressed in the senate resolution as
mandatory. If congress wants any
thing done it must direct the federal
reserve board to do it by amending
the federal reserve act, and if it does
that it would not be surprising to see
the federal reserve board go to pieces
altogether by the prompt resignation
of several of its members.

NEGROES HOLD
UP CONDUCTOR
Hatfield Rendered Unconscious by
Blow on the Head. His Cloth

Nv. Hatfield, the well-known con-
ductor on this division of the Central
railroad, was attacked in Macon by
two negro highwaymen a few nights
ago while he was hurrying to the sta

The robbers fel1ed the conductor T;
with a blow upon his head: They
hastily ransacked his clothing Tor
money, turning his pockets inside out,
but obtained only few cents.
One of the robbers grabbed the con-
ductor's satchel and both fled from
the scene, leaving him unconscious on
the sidewalk.
Some time later other railroad men
stumbled over the conductor and caiieo

home. where he regained conscious,

right in a few days.
There was nothing of value IN the
satchel except some wearing apparel
and report blanks useful only to the
