states that in the later stages the birds
become weak. often they cannot fly
onto the roosts, but sit In corner,
and after little die. According to
Mr.. Barton, this disease is quite com.
mon, affecting turkeys as well as
chickens One way to tell il the birds
have tuberculosis is to cut them open.
II the bird Is light in weight and the
liver Is enlarged and spotted 1t may
be quite safe to say that II has been
suffering from tuberculosis.
He states that small quarters. poor.

are conducive to the spread of the dis
ease. The best remedy Is to dispose
Of all infected birds and If the flock Is
badly infected to dispose Of all the
birds; then thoroughly clean the
house and yards, disinfect and start
over again with tuberculosis-free
birds. Mr.. Barton recommends dis
infectant made up in the ratio of one
ounce of creolin and one ounce of car

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"RENlo"

SID by whist and euchre
players to signify a revoke
or failure to play card Of the
suit called for. the word ''renig"
Is properly spelled ''renege"
and Is the Old English verb
meaning to refuse, renounce or
deny. 1t probably crept into
whist from the older game OF
"spoil--five" which, with its
variations of twenty-five" and
''forty-five" is still played In
the British army and In many
parts Of Ireland. In this game
the player Is permitted to renig
Cor to deny the suit) when hold
ing certain cards. Here. the
word retains its original mean
ing. though its synonym ire
woke" is not so easy to trace.
The word "renege" is twice
used by Shakespeare, once in
"Anthony and Cleopatra" and
once In king Lear" and is &C.
casionally found in the works
of other writers Of the Sixteenth
and Seventeenth centuries.
Chaucer uses the form reneys,
evidently from the French re-
nier which. in turn, is derived
from the Latin renegare, the
root-word of renegade" and
other English derivatives.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF GEESE
Of Large Sixe-Emden and Chi.
nese Are Liked.

The Toulouse is the giant Of the
geese family. 1t is II native OF France.
Its ordinary weight is from 10 to 20
pounds, but it is not uncommon 10
hnd specimens weighing from % TO 30
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
10 TO 20 eggs. when older they may
lay from % 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
1t Is said Il smaller number of En-
den reach this standard than the TO.

The Emden. when well bred, prop
cass that sells well on the market.
But II 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 peculiar dark-colored knob,
The Brown is considered the most
prolific OF all the geese. The stand.

to lay from 40 to 80 eggs. sometimes

ties of seed, such as elm, silver maple,
red maple, willow and poplar ripen

apart to permit horse cultivation.
With small or thin seed, such as that
of birch, elm or sycamore, best re-
suits will be obtained by sowing
broadcast rather thickly over the
beds, pressing the seed into the loose
soil with board and covering 1t very
lightly with soil and light mulch of
leaves or straw. When the seedlings
are ten or more inches In height they
are large enough to be transplanted to
the field. Most of them reach this
size in one growing season. In dig
ging them care should be taken to In
jure the roots as little as possible.
Injured portions of the roots should
be cut Off with a sharp knife. The
seedlings should not be dug until the
time for planting them In their per-
manent location, for exposure of the
roots to the air for any length of time
will kill them.
