AGRICULTURAL HINTS. ABOUT GOOSE RAISING. Km Swt Profitable Varieties and How to Hear and Fatten. Geese as-an article of food "are more highly esteemed in Europe than in this country, where the turkey occupies first place in our affections. Nevertheless the juicy meat is most toothsome, and a larger demand for it might readily be developed. Under suitable conditions these water fowl are very profitable. If given the range of a good pasture, with plenty of water, they need less care and attention than turkeys or chickens They are hardy, easily raised and less subject to lice, while their food is less expensive. Their feathers should pay the expense of their keep, the returns from the birds themselves being clear profit The Toulouse and the Embden are the best knowja breeds of geese, and there is more money* in raising them than in the $mall mongrel stock often seen, as they produce twice as much meat and feathers and fatten more readily for market. .The Toulouse are the largest geese known. They have gray plumage and are quiet and gentle in disposition. c. Tne Embdens are pure white, a circumstance which causes them to be preferred by many. They are somewhat smaller than the Toulouse and their plumage, is more compact. A good cross f for the market is a Toulouse gander and Etnbden goose. Geese begin to lay when about a year old. The gander is best for breeding purposes after his seeond year, and he - will remain in vigor for several seasons. .Old geese make better mothers than,young ones and should be kept for breeding antUTaving. When first commencing to lay*, geese are apt to be irregular, but as they* mature they will lay regularly and give a litter of fifteen or twenty eggs before attempting

prize Toulouse goose. to sit. Geese average about forty-fire eggs in a year, but occasionally run up to sixty, or even seventy. Breeding geese should be kept rather thin in flesh and have a free grass range. Newly hatched goslings do hot require food for the first twenty-four hours. They’ should be fed on hard boiled eggs. chopped fine, stale bread soaked in milk, scalded meal, boiled potatoes, etc., and kept away from the water for the first fortnight and housed in a dry place until strong enough to run about weL. Geese require grass as much as cattle and should have it in abundance. They also feather out more quickly when permitted to run on green pasture and have plenty' of water. Under these conditions they should prod ice a good crop of feathers every' ten weeks. They should not be plucked while laying, as it is impossible for them to moult artificially and produce strong eggs at the same time. If the feathers are ripe they will come easily' and are dry at the quill end. If soft and bloody, they must be left for some time longer. Geese usually sell best at the Christmas holidays, and not at Thanksgiving, as many suppose. The demand for them is greater in the colder weather. The Irish and Germans are the largest consumers of geese in this country. Before marketing geese must be fattened. This process will occupy from two to three weeks. They should be put in a darkened room, with sufficient light for them to see to eat, and be given all the oats and cornmeal they can consume. They must not be separated like fowls, as they are very sociable and pine away if kept in solitude. As soon as the desire for food slackens, they should be killed, as they are as fat as they will get and will lose flesh instead of gaining it.— N. Y. World.

LIVE-STOCK NOTES. Don't allow the cows to be driven by dogs. Save the heifer calves from the best milkers. Do not forget the calves in the “back lot.” They need shade and water. If the weather is dry and hot in your section—all the more reason the hogs and other stock should be provided with shade. , Do not be so unwise as to grow only the frame of a hog this summer. Have some meat on it, then it will be an easy matter to lay on the fat this fall. Middlings or shorts, with the house slops, will help out the hog pasture. These with plenty of pure water and free access to salt and ashes ought to give you healthy hogs and cheap pork. •—Western Rural. Hens afford a profit from eggs and flesh, and yet they excel, according to the breed used, in either direction. He who wishes to make eggs a specialty should pay but very little attention to Hie market qualities of the breed, while those who wish to raise the best birds for the market should make eggs a secondary matter. It should be the aim to secure both, if possible, bnt no breed combines in itself all the vequirements for eggs and flesh. If we secure a breed that comes up to such a standard it may be lacking in some other direction, perhaps tender when young and not hardy. Always, however, have a definite object in view. ;

DIVERSIFIED FARMING. It It, After All, the Only Sore W«y to Son* mt for Farmer*. Steady farming, with a goc>d rotation of crops persistently followed, is the sorest way to success for farmers. Abrupt changes in order to meet high; prices for some farm product are dangerous practices. It is within the remembrance of every farmer when hay was so low that it hardly' paid to raise it for market, bnt since then farmers have .been making more profit off hay than almost any other crop. To suit the change, a great many dropped hay from their list of farm crops and tried to get along without it. The steady farmers continued to give grass a place in their crop rotation, turning it under when it would not pay to cut and sell it as hay, and when prices went up again for hay they were the only ones who had good crops to sell. Besides enriching their soil with the grass, they found themselves pYepared to reap a good harvest when prices came around again to their normal can

anion. Just now sheep have been at a discount, and thousands have been sellitag them off to raise something else more profitable. But sheep, both for wool and mutton, will be profitable in the future. Several times in the past ihe sheep industry has been at its lowest ebb, but it revived in time. Steam ftud electricity are said to be driving horses 1 out of the market, and that it will no I longer pay to raise fine colts. There never was a time, and° probably never will be. when it did not pay to raise good horses. Underbred stock is'too plentiful, and will be at a greater discount in the future than now; but fine driving road horses or heavy draught horses will never lose their value permanently. It is within the remembrance of the writer when many fairiners paid $5 and S6 per head for ordinary sheep because a boom in that line was sending Everything upward. There are too many farmers engaged in this industry who wait for high prices,, and then they rush into that particular line of work. If sheep are high they pay exorbitant pricesj for stock in older to raise others to jsell. If corn is the leading farm product that pays well, they turn their farms into enormous corn fields, unmindful of the fact often that they do not understand its culture nor the expanses attached to it. Frequently they have to make an initial outlay to adapt themselves to the abrupt change, which alone will take away all profits. J ust now more farmers are preparing for abrupt changes than ever before. It. has been a disastrous year; with most of us. Many havej lost money and are generally dissatisfied with their .conditions. Each one is? looking around at those who seem to be raising something more profitable. Very often these profitable products are only temporarily so, and by the time the change is made they will no longer pay good prices. Good, steady farming, with a fair rotation of crops, is the oply sure way for any farmer to make farming a sure thing. Grass, hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, corn, sheep, cows and horses cannot always be unprofitable. A proper system of diversified! farming will make profits a certainty on some of the crops. Itisat any rate good farming. The land is kept up, not run down. Expenses are normal and outlays are not increased by su<bh violent changes. The pigs, chickens, cows and sheep will all yield some incidental profits, while the main farm crops may; fluctuate from year to year, but not more so than manufactured articles. Fluctuation is characteristic of every business, and farmers have no more than their share. The shoe manufacturer does not take up pin making because shoes happen to be unprofitable for, a season or two.—Germantowr (Pa.) Telegraph.

FRAME HAY STACKER. If Made Properly, It I» Said to Be a Very Handy Device. The frame for stacking hay. shown below, consists of two sills, 2x0 inches, 22 feet long- and placed 10 feet apart. Upon these sills rest three frames made of 2x4 timbers 20 feet long- for! the uprights and Joined at the top by means of 2xG-meh boards 8 feet lorg and braced at each of the upper corners with 2x4-inch scantling. From the

STACKING HAY FOR WINTER VSE. crosspiece is suspended a track for a hay fork.- Hay is brought up at the end of this frame and by the proper arrangement of pulleys the hay is easily lifted from the wagons and transferred to the stack, which can be made, of course, as high as the frames. When it is desirable to move this from one portion of the field to another, simply hitch a horse to the end of each sill and pull it wherever desired. Make the sills rounding at one end so it will slip over the ground like a sled. The upright timbers are mortised firmly into the sills, thus making the whole strong and durable. If larger and higher stacks are to be built, the size of the frame can be varied accordingly. It is a very handy device if made properly, and for those who have a great deal of field stacking to do is worthy of trial.—Farm and Home. Proper Food tor Chickens. Chickens fed on an exclusive corn diet | will not make a satisfactory development, particularly of feathers. The bones of chickens fed on a nitrogeneous ration are fifty per cent, stronger than those fed on a carbonacious ration., Hens fed on corn, while not suffering in general health, become sluggish and deposit large masses of fat in the internal organs. The flesh of nitrogeneous-fed fowls contains more albuminoids and less fat than.. those fed on a carbonaceous ration, is darker colored, juicier and tenderer.

THROAT PARALYSIS. (From the Gtuner-HtraM, Saginatr, Mich.) It was publicly talked all over Clare County, Mit li., for some tiiae before the CourierHerat J sent a reporter to Dover to fully investigate the Coulter matter. He finally went, and we publish to-day bis full report. The Coulters are. prominent people, though Mrs! C. in response to the question whether she objected to being interviewed, said: “Certainly not.'* Her story follows: “About 14 years ago we decided to take up our abode in Dover and everything went along smoothly for several year*, business progressed and being of a saving temperament we accumulated quite an amount. Our family increased as the years rolled by and we now Lave 5 children living, the oldest 15* youngest 3, but sickness made its way into our household, and doctors’bills flooded upon v.s, until we have nothing left but our home, and these sweet children. Everything else went to satisfy the claims of phy sicians. “About 8 years ago I had a miserable feeling at the hack -of my ears, my right hand became p-arulyzed and the paralysis extended to my arm and throat, and would affect my bead and eyes, sometimes for days 1 would lose my sight, my face was deformed* lifeless, as it were, my nose was drawn to one side and I presented a pitiable apperanee and never expecting tore* gain my natural facial expressions. 1 employed the best physicians that could be procured, extending thousands of dollars for their services but could not obtain relief. At last, they stated my case was beyond the reach of medical shill, audit would be but a short time until the eud would come. Tins certainly was not very encouraging to me, but I never gave up hope. In connection with receiving the attendance of physicians 1 have tried every medicine known to the apothecary but never received auv relief uutil Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills for Palo People came to my assistance. Before I had taken half of the first box the deformity in mv face had left me, aud before four boxes had been consumed the paralysis had disappeared entirely and much to ruy surprise 1 felt like a new woman.

You mav sav in this connection that am willing at any time to make affidavit tc the truth of these statements, and furthermore I will answer any communication concerning ray rase, as I consider it nothing more than right and just that 1 should assist suffering humanity.'

All is work and business at the Galesburg (Ills.) Race Track these fine summer days. Recently C. W. Williams, the owner of the track, was heard to remark that everything at the track was about a mouth ahead of time. The work preparatory to the great summer meeting here is being pushed with all vigor. A special advertising car, containing about ten men. will start out in about ten days to bill the state. This car will carry 152,000 different kinds of advertising matter. It will be the largest crowd whichever assembled in this part of the state, which will gather ;ln Galesburg in August, and they will see the best trotting and pacing meeting ever held in the country. Over 1,000horses are entered for the meeting. which is a remarkable showing. Then the prise money foots up to a grander total than that of auy other race meeting in the country, while no other meeting can sfiow so long a list of entries. This is proof of the fact that the horsemen know a good thing when they see it, and so they are all coming to Galesburg, the pretty college city of the west, for the great summer meeting to be held August 2t»th to September ?th inclusive. And then the owners of the fast ones want to capture more records, and at Galesburg, over the only dead level track in the world, is the place to do this. Last year there was a scarcity of seats, but Mr. Williams promises that this shall not occur this year. Just previous to the Bicycle Meeting' recently held here, additions were made to the grand-stand so that there are now about 5,C0d seats in the stand The judges’ stand will also be improved. Another story will be added to it for the press, which will be greatly appreciated by the Jboys. The management assures the peoSe that as large a crowd as will come will. > taken cure of. The C., B. & Q. switch extends into the grounds so that those going and coming or. their special trains land right at the gate. The fine electric street car system runs right to the main gate and the track is only a short ride from the main part of the city. Beside* these two lines, there will be hacks and band wagons innumerable to convey the crowd to and from the city. A large note stands just across the street from tM maim gate, while several boarding-houses are close at hand. Then, in addition to the four commodious hotels in the city, many private houses will be thrown open to receive guests. Underneath the grand-stand other improvements will soon be begun. After putting down a fine flooh, Mr. Williams will establish one of the best lunch counters La this part of the state. But what will there be to see at this meeting! For the two weeks a programme of 39 races has filled. These range from the greeff two-year-olds down to the flyers of ,the 2:12 trot and 2:10 pace. In each of these races the exceptionally large purse of S2.0UO.OO is up, and there will be some lively scrambling to get it. Then there will be a large number of special attractions. Monroe Salisbury is booked here and will sta rt many of his fine ones in the races. As the season opens, Mr. Williams is keeping his eyes wide open for the two-minute goers and you want to watch them go when they strike the nice, springy Galesburg track. A strong effort is being made to secure all the fast money winners of the season. The Fall Meeting opens September 9th, the Monday after the great meeting closes, and this will betbe time for the smaller fry. The races will continue eight weeks, so that horsemen can come here and win plenty of money without a shipment. There are 138 races, and it only costs 915.00 to start for 9200.00 purses. They begin with the two-year-old trots and paces and get down to the 2:0s class in both movements. The money in these will be divided. 50, 35, 15 and lo per cent, of purses, while the entrance is only 5 per cent, of purse, with as additional 5 per cent, from all money winners. For two-year-olds, the heats will ba best two in three: all others best three in five. The entries for the fall meeting close August 28th. and records made afternoon, of that day will be no bar. George Red field, the owner of the famous pacing dog Sport, recently returned from the Denver meeting, where Sport made a great hit. It is said that he captured the crowd in great style. George is a Ga.esburg boy, his father beiug the owner of Senator Conkling, who, by the way, is on his feet squarely and nicely this year ;wd gives good promise of fine work. The colts are showing the best this season, and when ‘the eight weeks' meeting rolls around they will be found to give some of the aged ones a good argument far the money.

—Alphonse Daudet was not complimentary in his references to Englishwomen. “Not only is she not handsome in features,’* he says, “but there is nothing seductive in her physical form, and, moreover, she is an utter stranger to elegance and good taste. The Englishwoman whom you encounter in Paris, with her flatteneddown hair and huge feet, differs in no single particular from the English Il'ady of rank whom you meet in salons, on the turf and at the play. It gave me a real thrill of pleasure on reaching Paris to behold our pretty Parisiennes, with their fascinating toilets.” —The old game of battledore and shuttlecock, which is still sold by toy dealers, but seldom played, is being revived as an exercise in physical culture.
