GEESE AND CHICKENS MIXED
Fowls Do Not Breed Very Well To-
eether-SuppIy of Clean Water
Is Important.

Geese and chickens do not breed
very successfully together. AS IL well
known, geese like to dig around In the
dirt and then wash their faces in
every pail of water that Is placed in
the yard for the poultry. The geese
will soon empty the pals by dipping
their heads deeply in the water and
throwing 1t over their backs until the
pals contain only few inches Of dirty
water. steady supply Of clean water
is important for growing chickens SO
the geese become a nuisance in the en-
closure.
Geese will often drive the poultry
away from the dry mash hoppers. AS
the profit In geese depends on raising
them on a cheap ration largely COM
posed Of grass 1t does not pay to feed
them much mash during the summer.
The best place for geese is field
near pond. This gives the birds
plenty of water. They do not need a
body of water but 1t saves the work
of carrying lot of drinking water If
the geese have their own supply for
washing in.

MAKE SUCCESS WITH GEESE
0oslinas Month Old Are Hardest Of
FowIs-Grass In Ration 10 Most
Important.

After goslings are a month old they
are among the hardest of fowls, but
they are rather delicate at first, and
should have careful attention. The
main thing is to keep them warm and
dry the first few weeks, feeding them
little at time and often-say four
or five times a day. One of the best
rations on which to start goslings is
a mixture of corn meal and shorts,
mixed with bread or cracker crumbs,
hard boiled eggs chopped fine, etc.
1t is also a good plan to provide
some tendcS grass as relish right
from the start. The goose is essen
TALLY grazing bird, hence grass in
Its ration is quite important at all
times. Other grain food, along with
meat scraps, should be added to the
ration gradually as the goslings grow.
Most people keep goslings in small
movable runs for the first two weeks,
SO they can't run wild but can be
moved to fresh ground each day where
they can pick grass and bugs. The
extent of this ranging space can be
gradually increased until the goslings
are month old, then they should be
turned out on free range where they
will find lots Of pasturage to make
rapid growth.
Geese do not have to have water to
get lots Of enjoyment from it. If a
small stream or pond cannot be pro-
vided, then it Is quite essential that
the fowls have an abundant supply Of
good drinking water, which they con-
sumo freely.
After goslings are turned on pas
ture, if the grass is in good condition,
It is not necessary to feed them grain
more than twice a day at first and
later once a day. The first object
should be to get as large a growth of
frame as possible. Let fat come last.
To build frame requires lots of grass,
bugs and worms, and grains like oats
and buckwheat that are not especially
fattening
AS fall approaches and the grass be-
gins to fail, corn should be substituted
for one of the other grains as it is
more fattenlng. Starting at least a
month before the holiday selling sea-
son, the geese we want to sell on mar
ket are fed all they will eat of mix
ture of corn and oats at first and
corn alone later. In fitting geese for
market it is hardly possible to make
them too fat, as extreme fatness has
no bad effect upon their table qualities
and therefore most people want lots of
it.-Farm Life.

ABOUT ''|N-LAWS"
One Reason Why Some Mar
riages Are Unhappy.
Frequently Only the Most Trivial
Causes for Antagonism Between
"Alfred" and "Her" Mother.

turn out unhappily is because the
average married man and the average
mother-in-law are not in sympathy.
Some mothers-in-law and sons-in-law
are in state of continual antagonism.
1t seems peculiar that man should
fervently love Mrs. AS daughter and
at the same time cordially dislike Mrs.
A. Yet that is quite an ordinary posi-
ton, declares writer for London
Answers.
Would it not be infinitely better If
sons-in-law and mothers-in-law were
on friendly terms? Obviously, yes
Why, then, is there this friction and
antagonism?
Is it not because the average pros
pective son-in-law has been influenced
by the many silly stories he has heard
about mothers-in-law and their alleged
awful ways, and his judgment warped
by the scores Of libelous jokes made
at the expense of those much-maligned
ladies'?
Thus it is that he is prejudiced and
very possibly before he has seen his
sweetheart's mother, and certainly be-
fore he really knows her he adopts the
traditional antagonistic attitude.
And she-well, her attitude is criti-
cal.
That is not to be condemned, and Is
no justification for the line he takes.
She has every right, with her daugh-
ter's happiness in the balance, to look
with critical eyes at the young man
who can make or mar that happiness.
Another cause of friction is his air of
proprietorship over Muriel. Just be-
cause he is her accepted suitor, and In
due course will be her husband, he re-
sents any attempt on the part of her
mother to exercise any authority, be it
ever so mild, over her.
He assumes possession, in short, be-
fore the law has given him any real
right.
He takes Muriel out and brings her
home late-at IL instead of 10, or the
like. Her mother protests, and Alfred
let us give him name-is up in
arms at once. He talks of hurrying
the marriage on. so that his darling
Muriel may be relieved from her moth
er's hard rule.
And just at this period Muriel Is SO
much in love that she sides with AL
fred. Later, when she is married, and
realizes, possibly for the first time,
all that her mother was to her. there
is big reaction.
She won't have dear mother criti-
cized"; she won't hear word against
her" And mother "shall come and
stay as long as she likes" So, a row
and the little rift within the Lutte
And thus it is that Muriels mother
doesn't think much of him."
The unfortunate result is that the
antagonism becomes mutual, and Al
fred, who had originally no reason
whatever for adopting the anti-mother
in-law position, has now been present
ed with one. True, he made it him
self, but
All this should be changed The Al
freds should take pains to get rount
their mothers-in-law. 1t would make
courting easier, the wedding more
| pleasant, and the married life after
ward infinitely happleD. 1t can hardly
be expected that Muriel should like
his mother if he declines to like hers
