Two-year- lons Hew to Succeed With Geese. Geese for breeding purposes should be selected in the fall or early winter. In their natural state, geese mate in pairs and the best results will follow if the plan of nature is adhered to. There are some breeders who claim to have had good results by breeding one gander to several geese, but it is a quite general opinion: that not over three females should be allowed to one male. The age of the breeding stock is a big factor in securing both quality and quantity of eggs. The eggs of yearling geese seldom hatch well and it does not pay to bother with them. Tf they hatch at all, the goslings, as Address communicat olds may be used but they reach their best at three years of age. The fe- males retain their breeding qualities throughout their lives, but it is best not to keep them for this purpose over eight or ten years. Mongrel birds should never be pur- chased for breeding purposes as the majority lay only from ten to twenty- five eggs per season, while the pure- breds lay from forty to fifty. The breeding birds selected should be strong and healthy. They should not.be allowed to get too fat or there will be a low percentage of fertility in the eggs. During the winter give them as great a variety of food as possible. They require a great deal of green food and will do well on corn fodder or clover cr alfalfa hay, with ecoked potatoes or other vegetables, also require considerable exercise and should have some place in which to run. The laying season can be controlled to a large extent by the plan of feed- ing. The opening of the season can be hastened materially by heavy feed- ing during the winter or it can be delayed by allowing only a small diet. From November to February the fowls should be given just enough to keep them in good health. After that date, the ration may be gradually in- creased. Goose eggs are hatched in three different ways--by the mother goose, by hens, and by incubator. Those set under mother goose have natural in- cubation. A nest in a quiet place | where the mother is not likely to be | disturbed should be provided and from ten to fifteen eggs placed under her. While sitting she should be provided with plenty of green food, grain, and oats, corn, oyster shells and grit. They | to Agronomist, 73 Adelaide St. West, Toronto easily reach it. Goose eggs are ex- tremely sensitive to chill--therefore the mother should not be taken from the nest to feed. If she is allowed to choose her own time to leave the nest, she will cover the eggs with either down or feathers. On account of the close, downy feathers of the goose, the eggs have less ventilation, thus preserving more moisture, than when set under hens. Therefore, if hens are used, some moisture must be supplied. This may be done to some extent by placing the nests on an earth floor and covering them lightly with straw. The last week or two of incubation, however, more moisture than this plan supplies may be needed. The additional am- ount 'required may be provided by placing a sod three or four inches thick under the nest, covering it light- ly with straw and moistening it with warm water as needed. A good plan is to pour a half-pint of the warm water directly over the eggs, which will be quickly absorbed by the sod. From five to seven eggs are all that should be given to a hen. The ordinary incubator is not the most successful way to hatch goose eggs, owing to the|size of the eggs and the thickness of the shells, Ex- perienced breeders, however, get good results from the incubator, but 'it ;takes much care and attention. One 'of the most practical methods is to set the eggs in an incubator about seven days, test out the fertile eggs, |and set the balance under hens, sup- | plying the moisture as before stated. When artificially incubated, goose 'eggs should be turned three times a day. Alternate days of the last week a damp woollen cloth should be laid over them to soften the shells. The goslings will not leave the shells for some time after pipping and it may be necessary to help some of them out. Great care must be used in this, however, as the membranes are easily torn, causing them to bleed to death. As soon as dried, they should be re- moved from the incubator and placed in a brooder at a temperature of nine- ty degrees, heat being gradually re- duced until at the end of the second week it has dropped to seventy de- grees. The brooders must be kept |very clean as young goslings are much more sensitive to unsanitary conditions than are young chicks. They are also very sensitive to damp- ness when young, but when a month old they are the most hardy of domes- clean water, placed where she may ticated fowls, SID Every breeding farm should have a sanitary milk room, where milk and cream can be kept clean and cool. The inside walls should be plastered and the floor made of concrete or tile. Ample room for the cream separator, for washing and cleaning the pails, cans and other utensils used in milk- ing and handling the products. Space for weighing, testing and keeping in- dividual records should also be given consideration in planning the milk room. By having a suitable room and conveniences for weighing and testing the milk and keeping milk and butter- fat records, the task will be greatly simplified and the milkers will look after the work more efficiently. It is also a good plan to keep on hand a supply of medicines and materials for treating and disinfecting sores and wounds and giving first-aid to sick cattle and young stock. An outfit for treating milk-fever is also necessary on the farm where valuable dairy cows are kept for breeding purposes. It costs but very little to keep these remedies and instruments at hand and it may be the means of saving a valu- able animal when one has trouble in getting veterinary aid at-the proper time. Hot and cold water are needed at the dairy barn and a supply should be at hand without running to the house when it is needed. Unless the water is sufficiently cool to preserve of the house at some time during the day. They should be distributed along the south side, about one full-size, two sash house-window for every eight feet or ten feet in length of the house, | if the house be sixteen feet wide or ;more. Ocasionally a window is put near the front of the east end or west end, or both, to get the early morning or late afternoon sun, but usually that is not desirable and sufficient sun is obtained without it. : The windows should be arranged so that the upper sash can be lowered and the lower sash raised to provide ventilation and they should be raised and lowered even in the coldest wea- ther when the sun is shining brightly, though the amount of space to be open depends on the temperature, The roosts and roost platforms should be against the north wall. Ms -- Fresh Rhubarb Through the Winter. We started with one 135-foot row across our garden. The plants were given to us by a farmer, who raised acres and acres of it. For fifteen years those roots have been a source of enjoyment and profit, Each fall when cold weather comes a few roots are dug out of the ground in square chunks and left in the open until the ground freezes, when 'they are taken to the heater cellar and placed in a box. These roots are wat- ered occasionally, and in a short time they are sending up the most beauti- The Care of Traps. Should traps be boiled, and if so, in what? Should they be oiled? Is rust harmful? There and many other similar questions confront the trap- per. Even old hands at the game dif- fer on these points. : : A man who never boils new traps usually explains his position by say- ing that new steel in itself has no odor; there is no scent until the trap is used. < We have good reason to believe that steel and iron do have an odor; the fact that we can not detect it proves nothing, except that our smelling sense is weak compared to that of wild animals. But even granted that they do not, there is another reason for boiling the new trap--to get rid of the varnish, and oil with which some traps are coated. Many a new trap, perfect in make and action, fails to attract for that one reason--that it still carries the oder, no matter how faint, of varnish or oil. "But," you say, "I must oil my traps; if not at the beginning, surely later, after long use and' exposure to the weather." Once in -a long while, yes. The oiling business is overdone; I prefer a rusty trap to one loaded up With kerosene. The former may at least get a chance at the animal, but not the latter; you may think you have killed the coal-oil smell by airing and rubbing, but the keen-nosed fur- bearer knows better. Oil the traps when the joints really require it, but use some lubricant as nearly as odor- less you can get. Never use a strong smelling substance like ker- osene, Fattes you leave it; the wind, a heavy} a Snowfall, or an unexpected thaw, the passing of some animal or person-- many things may displace your set; and if bright steel is exposed that trap will do no business. : Many kinds of boiling preparations haye been used for the coloring, and for destruction of the steel odor, but I doubt there being anything better than the old reliable solution of evergreen boughs. This gives the steel a blue- black finish, and repeating the boiling occasionally retains the darkness and helps to keep off rust. Oak or willow bark is good; also, walnut hulls. The weather is hard on traps, but they will, with care, last surprisingly long. Placing a small bag of salt under the stillwater trap will prevent freezing. The wise trapper gets his parapher- nalia in condition before the season open. See that the traps spring read- ily; put in a tiny-bit of oil if neces- sary, though a 'too fast" action is not desirable. Be sure to adjust the trig- ger, if required to make the pan sit level, and see if your chains, pins, etc., are all in working order. Carry. your traps in a basket or sack. The fewer times you have to handle them the better, All considered, there is no better preliminary preparation of a trap than to submerge it for twenty-four hours or longer in a running stream. This, if anything, will make it odor- less. - Of course, exposure to cold air is in itself a good odor killer, and will be effective when dealing with no more persistent scent than that of human hands. ----_o-- Aside from the matter of odor, a trap freshly oiled or greased does not | It is natural to kick about taxes. | his horse shod. THE TWITCH OF LOVE ~~ A young farmer boy stopped in front of the blacksmith shop to get He unharnessed the mare that he was driving and started to lead her into the shop. The mare was young, and the glowing furnace and the flying sparks from the anvil frightened her; setting her front feet down firmly and throwing back her head, she refused to enter the dark room that was full of strange noises and mysterious sights. ~The blacksmith came up, took hold of the rope bridle and gave two or three sharp pulls. Then, finding that the horse did not intend to come in, Khe grew angry and, swearing loudly, jerked with all his might.- This only frightened the horse more. Handing the rope to the boy again, the blacksmith turned to the wall and took down a stick, perhaps two feet long, with a small loop of rope on one end. Then he ordered the boy to held the horse tightly while he put on the twitch. "Tl teach her not to balk. I know all about taming mean horses. Just wait till I twist her lip for her and she'll walk in here as meek as lamb!" ~ With that he put the twitch on her upper lip and began to twist until the little mare quivered with pain, When the farmer boy realized what. the a | blacksmith was doing to his pet, he dropped the rope and, seizing the stick, exclaimed, "She does not need to be treated that way!

Shortage of man-power and the high wages demanded by 'such farm- hands as are available are causing progressive farmers more reliable and less expensive means many already have found the ideal form of service that they were looking }for. Others in ever-increasing num- bers are making that same discovery daily; eventually all will do so. and ready, in addition to being cap- able of performing many tasks at one time (and doing them all well), the electrical farmhand is fast becoming the mainstay and support in all pro- gressive farming communities. De- servedly so, too. Electricity has won to that place by sheer merit--service. It might be added, too, that the electrical farmhand found many ob- stacles to be overcome in his progress toward his rightful place on the farm- er's pay-roll. A bit partial to the old- fashioned ways at the outset, the farming community gave but scant attention to the electrical farmhand when first he went plying for a job. But that now is all a thing of the past; the farmers have tried electric service and found it good. One farmer making use of electric milking-machines, reports that the cost of current for milking fifty cows twice daily is fifty cents; the time re- quired for the milking is one hour, and only two men are required to handle the operation. Another farmer reporting on the merits of his electrical hired man sup- plies the following examples: Feed grinding, six and one-half cents a hundred pounds; ensilage-cut- ting, six and one-half cents a ton; corn husking, one cent a bushel; wood- sawing, fourteen and one-half cents a cord; pumping water, three cents-a hundred gallons.

No farmer need now be told the ad-| vantages of electricity for lighting---| it's self-evident. Between the even! radiance of the electric lamp and other forms of lighting--candles, oil lamps, and so on--there is no compar- ison. Still less is there any ground for comparison between the mussy, daily labor of filling lamps, and the annoyance of hunting and striking a match; still less is there ground for comparing such burdensome prelimin- aries and the delightfully simple oper- ation of commanding light by pressing a button or turning a switch. The question rather is how to com- mand the facilities that will provide electricity for farming operations and for lighting. And those means are now fortunately available in every in- stance--no farm need longer be with- out the benefits of electrical service. For those farms located beyond the zone that it is practicable for the cen- tral station to serve, there are the individual farm lighting and power | plants.
