AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS it RAISING GEESE Practically all the geese in this coun- try are raised In small flocks on general farms, and few, if any, farms are devot- ed emtirely to raising geese. Beese can be raised su ully in small numbers and at a profit on farms where there is vlenty of srass or pasture land with a natural supply of water. The birds, both young and old, are very hardy and are rarely alfected by any disease or I pests. Grase makes up the bulk of t] feed for gee and it is doubtful whether it pays to raise them unless good grass range 18 available. Geese are the closest and the partially grown goslings will get kmown grazers, ynd both the mature geese their entire living from a pasture so long as the grass remains green. A body of water where they can swim i considered essential during the breed- ing season, and is desirable during the rest of the year. If there is no natural pond, an artificial one or tanks may be supplied to tage. The market for gees is not so general as for chickens; this fact should be considered, poultry he United States Depart- ture say, in undertaking The demand and the price geess are usnally good in sections attening fis conducted on a ¥ /meese are kept .in production of feathers han for their flesh, but the use of ot 80 1 as it has been, business less Tood COMPOST MANURE Compost manurs is valuable for the garden. Use all kinds of waste, such as sweepings, spoiled fadder, ashes, weeds gathered befors seeding, leaves, dish and wash water, etc. The various materials are heaped up In layers altérnating with the soil and kept molst by occasional sprinkling with water or liquid manure. To insure uniformity in the mixture of the varous materials inffthe compost, the heaps should be frequently-turned. When the admixture i8 thorough the compost can be used. Care must be taken that weeds do not grow on the heaps. If pos- sible, the heaps should be located near where the manure is to be used. THE MOTHER OF POULTS For poults the turkey hen is the best mother than can be found. She knows thelr needs and can talk to them in a language that they soon learn to undr- stand. At the approach of any danger she gives a low, warning note that sends them scurrying in every direction for a weed or patch of grass where they can lie flat on the ground eafely hidden from view. While on free range she keeps her brood together by talking continuously in a contented, purring tone so that the poults kncw where she is. When her poults become widely sepa- rated or if séme become lost and she hears their “peep, peep,” she calls them with the eharacteristic yelp heard so frequently during the laying season.

They soon learn to find their own feed, however, and range out ahead of the mother hen in search ¢f whatever they can find. R Young tufkeys usually remain with the mother hen until about Ogteber or No- vember, when the males ordinarily sep- arate from the females and range by themselves. When two turkéy hems with broods of about the same age are turned out on free range together they will re- main in one flock, and. as this makes it easier to hunt them up and care for them it is advisable to turn out two or three hens with their broods together when they are given free range. It is not a good plan to have more than this number of young poults in one flock, says poultry specialists in the United States depart- ment of agriculture, as' they may all try to erowd under ome or two hens to be hovered. GRASS SEASON IS SHORT Few of us realize ow short the grass season really is north of the Mason and Dixon Line. It is customary to consider it is six months; but this is stretching it pretty far. It is seldom if ever profit- able to turn stock on pasture much be- fore May 1, and almost alivays pastures are about dried up in September. So ac- tually, there are only about four months that pastures can be depended upon. This is worth keeping in mind when planning the siz of tha silo or silage fieldi—fizure on eight months of feeding. The man whose-stock goes through the winter best is the one that doesn’t allow them to be- come thin before frost. NITRATE OF SODA. Nitrate of soda, or Chilean saltpeter, is the cheapest and quickest-acting fer- tilizer supplylng the nitrogen to plants. Nitrogen ‘is the stalk and leaf grower; phosphorus is the plant ripener, and, pot- ash is the plant strengthener and starch former. ~ Since nitrate produces leat and. staik growth, it follbws that for vegetables of which the stalk and leaves form the edible portion, this is the fertilizer to use, Cabbage and lettuce are the chief beneficiaries of pitrate, but as a garden tonic, to be used Whenever something seems to be meeded to prevent a check in growth, this fertilizer is, perhaps, the most frequently in use of any in the home gardener's first-ald kit. Onse started, zarden vegetables should grow steadily without check. If cabbages do not advance rapidly, all the remedies for worms . are likely to brove unavailing. Head lettuce is impossible without rapid growth. Some gardeners insist that the regular use of nitrate keeps worms oft cabbages; certainly the ravages of this pest are far less danger- ous where the growth is stimulated. Whenever plants are moved, When a dry spell threatens to stop progress, at any interruption from a cause which threatens to check garden development, nitrate may be called upon to counter- until the plants to be treated are grow- ing, It allowed to touch the plant it will kill the growth it touches. The ut- most care must be used in applying ft. The home gardener may find it most eon- venlent to dissolve it in water, one ounce to two gallons; and pour from half to one cup near the roots of the plant to be treated. An easier method is to sprinkle the nitrate lightly on the soil between the rows after cultivating, and rake It into the dust mulch. Small and frequent doses are best; a teaspoon at a u’r:: is enough for a well grown cabbage plant. ‘With nitrate of soda and the mixed fertilizer used as a first dressing, the home gardener ean supply reasonably all demands for plant food, and if his sofl is fairly supplied with humus %e needs only assurance of sufficient moisture and rea- Don’t Be Extravagant Saving a few duction, tied for fourth place with 57 eggs each.
