GEESE THRIVE ON PASTURE
Living Except During Winter and
Breeding Season.

Geese are usually raised where
they have good grass range or pas
ture as they are good grazers and usu-
ally pick most of their living, except
during the winter months and the
breeding season. Goslings should be
fed a mash Of two parts shorts and
one part cornmeal by weight, chang
ing at the end of three weeks to equal
parts Of shorts and cOrnmeal with 5
per cent each of beer scrap and grit.
A fattening ration may be made of a
mash of one part shorts and two parts
cornmeal by weight with 5 per cent
of beef scrap, fed in the morning, and
a feed Of corn at right.

SUCCESS IN TURKEY RAISING
One Of the Most Important steps ID
Selection Of Breeding Stock
Look for vieor.

One Of the most important steps to-
ward success in turkey raising is the
proper selection Of breeding stock.
Unhatchable eggs, weak poults, and
small, scrubby turkeys are largely the
result Of carelessness In the selection
Of the parent stock. In selecting tur-
keys for breeding purposes, strength
and vigor are the first points to be
considered. To indicate this the body
should be deep and wide, the back
broad, and the breast round and full
The head should be Of good size and
Of a clean. healthy appearance. A

The gambrel roof gives the greatest
possible hay storing space. As 1t
stands, the dimensions Of the barn are
SO feet by 100 feet, with arrangements
to care for so cows. The silo, II
feet In diameter, has capacity In
proportion.
Carrier tracks serve the silage from
the silo along the entire length Of
the center feed alley. Two hay chutes
open from the floor above at handy
intervals, making the filling of the
hangers an easy task. There are
drinking fountains and regular sup
ply of fresh water always available.
Well-placed ducts feed the fresh air
from the inlets into the interior at
regular intervals, and the foul air
shafts, likewise conveniently located,

A pullet is female less than a year

strong, well-made frame Is shown by
thick, sturdy shanks and straight

Inbreeding is harmful and If carried
on very long will result in the loss of
vigor and vitality. 1t is, therefore,
advisable each year to obtain new
tom of unrelated blood, but Of the
same type. Nothing Is to be gained
by crossing varieties as such practice
soon reduces purebreds to mongrels.
BY purchasing breeding stock early
in the season one not only has larger
number to choose from, but the birds
are given ample time to become ac-
quainted with their new surroundings
before the mating season.

The wolf has begun to howl at
the door of one resident in this com
munity. Not the wolf of hunger, but
the gray wolf. Tom Caldwell on
looking out of his window Monday
morning, saw sitting not 200 yards
away, a wolf, which he mistook for
coyote. From his door he shot
him thru the shoulders and on going
up on him found it to be a gray wolf,
which measured 6 feet 6 inches in
length, 80 inches high and weighed
80 pounds. The front paw measured
five inches across. Mr.. Caldwell lives
near Deer Creek school house on
Willow Creek and is feeding stock
there this winter.

SLIGHT IMPORTANCE OF GRIT
tIon and Impaired Health
Gravel Also Helps.

Many poultry raisers gradually be-
gin to slight the Importance of grit.
Lack Of grit means poor digestion and
impaired health. Regular poultry grit
should be kept before the fowls In
boxes or hoppers at all times. In
addition, a load of gravel near the
chickens home would improve the
health and increase the egg yield.

REPUBLICAN ORGAN
OUTLAWS IOWA SEN.

shington.-Formal excommuni-
cation from the Republican party isl
hurled against Senator Smith w.
Brookhart in the current issue of the
National Republican, a semi-oficial
organ of the Republican national
committee.
Details of Brookhart's offense
against the G. o P. are not given by
the angry Republican editors, who
confine themselves to the familiar ac-
cusations that the Iowa senator's pro-
gram of cooperative enterprises sup
ported by the government els as thor
oughly unrepublican and unAmerican
in principle as any doctrine preached
by Lenine and Trotsky."
These same charges, by state and
national Republicans, including Pres
ident Harding's father, were leveled
against Brookhart during the electoral
campaign in Iowa last fall, with the
result that he carried all but three
counties in the state. And Brookhart
expresses confidence that sentiment
in his state will not be materially
changed by a weekly newspaper print
ed in Washington.
