THE CARE OF GOSLINGS.
They Slinnlil np-el ve I'onil It fit nlnrly
l( Itnplil mill Prnlltnlile Cimnlh
In Kxe4tel.
The following information upon
the care of goslings is given in the
Farming World: When the eggs
hatch do not allow the mother of the
young to leave the nest for the first
U to 24 hours. The goslings thus
become thoroughly dry nnd strong
nnd may then be safely removed, with
the mother, to n large, roomy coop.
A goose's appetite for green things
nsserta itself from the start, nnd the
gosling's first food may be a feed of
grass fed on nod; with it should be
given n small amount of moistened
comment or oatmeal. Or the first
meal may consist of chopped egg and
bread crumbs, with chopped weeds
or greens of some sort added.
A bit of sand and charcoal also im
proves the ration. Food of this sort
should be given regularly three times
n day for a few days. They should
then be strong enough to take some
grain. A rntion made up of erjual
parts, by measure, of bran, middlings,
steamed cut clover and cooked vege
tables is recommended for this
period, although ground corn, oats
or barley may be substituted for the
bran and middlings. There should be
no lack of green food. Nearly any
kind of vegetable, weed or grass
chopped up fine will supply their
wants in this direction.
Goslings are often able to take
care of themselves after the first five
or six days or n week. They are fre
quently separated from the mother
nt this age nnd nllowed to roam.
However, they need protection at
night for n much longer time, and
they should receive food regularly if
you wish to keep them growing rr.p
idly. They soon learn to forage, but
they will not be able to get sullicient
food in this way until after hnrvevt.
At the age of ten or twelve weeks,
they should be well enough developed
to go to the fattening pen.

Fruit on Poultry Fitrnm.
The owner of n poultry farm should
raise nil the summer fruits needed for
the table, all the vegetables that can
be eaten at home, with enough for the
poultry, nil the grass he w ill need for
the chickens nnd bay for wintering a
fc.w cows, and nil the milk nnd butter
for home tise. Here we have one crop
helping nnot her. We plant a few acres
of clover, which gives the chickens
fresh green food in the season nnd good
hny for winter. The fruits supply the
table with what we need and then add
to the diet of the chickens. Likewise
the vegetables lessen the cost of onr
living, and give to the egg layers the
very food they require. rarnicrr

THE GROWTH OF PIGS.
bjeet Wfclrfc Shau B M4U
Fatleattjr Trhlr r
Every Farmer,
It la now pretty generally undo
food that sheep and cattle maka
gains at the least cost near the birth
period, and also that most rapidly,
says the Farmer, of St. Paul, Minn.
This is owing to the greater activity
of the secretions when animals are
young. Hut this explanation does not
so well apply to the ease of swine.
After several years vl experimenting
at the Minnesota experiment station,'
it has been ascertained that pigs do
not gnin nearly so rapidly when they
are young as when of more mature
age. When they are on the sow it wm
difficult to make them gain a pound a
day. After weaning for two or three
months they seldom made more than
one and one-half pounds per day, but
after, say, five or six months they
gained well on two pounds per day.
Thus it has been show n in several in
stances that lietwecn the ages of two
anil eight months pigs have mafle the
most rapid increase in weight. The
experiments referred to were not
made with a view to test this ques
tion but these results came out inci
dentally in a large number of tests.
As a result of ti.e casual manner in
which these conclusions were reached,
the relative cost of the gains cannot
be given, but it is probable those made
near the birth period were the least
costly, owing to the small amount rela
tively of the food consumed. This is
a great question. It ought to be fur
ther investigated. The experience re
ferred to culls tip the thought that it
may be possible to market pork too
young to bring the grower the greater
profit, even when swine are sold as
young ns six or seven months, the pop
ular age at which to sell. These re
sults in swine growing, so different
from those obtained in growing cat
tle nnd sheep, are well worth the clos
est study.

The young foal should be left en
tirely to its mother's care the first
few hours. Do not, molest the dam
or foul by helping the colt to its feet
at once, "trying to have it nurse,"
etc. l!y so doing you irritate the
mare and exhaust the strength of
the foal. The foal is as well and per
haps better off not to nurse for a
couple of hours.
After a few hours the colt should
be approached carefully, caressed, und
given to understand you are u com
panion und friend, not an enemy.
Hive him a little sugar or salt from
your hand nnd you will soon huve
him leave his mother and come tc
you across the yard or Held.
If you have n work the mare, do
not let the foal follow as he gets
tireil und leg weary. Young colts
upend a great deal of time lying
down. Shut him in a box stall, or
what is better, in company with an
other foal. He will soon become con
tented. As soon as he becomes ac
customed to eating, give n little
ground oats and wheat bran in his
feed box. ami if in the stable with bis
dam, it is well to have a box separato
from the dam where she cannot eat
his feed.
The colt should be taken from the
dam at from four to five months old
and put in a pasture by himself or
with other colts and have n regular
feed of ground oats anil bran once
or twice per day. From the first
year's good feed and care, the beauty
of the coming horse is developed.
You cannot begin to educate him too
young by handling his head and feet.

are of liUle value except for inside
work. W'bnt gives catalpa wood its re- j
markable durability is not yet well n:i- :
derstood, but experience has proven it .
to be far more durable than oak, both-1
in the ground and above it. It grows I
t very rapidly from seed. 1 planted some' '
seed in a piece of rich soil, and ninny :
i of the plants reached a height of five 1
feet that season. The seedlings lwne
an immense tap root that goes deep
into tne ground und makes the digging
of the seedlings, if well grow n, no easy 1
task. The wood of these young trees
hua much the appeerunce of cotton
wood, nnd one would judge it to be of
litt" value, but as the trees increase
fn size the wood becomes more dense,
though never hnrd like oak. No matter
how dry it becomes it is never hard to
cut or drive nails into, nnd for this rea- '
son it would make a much better post
than oak. even if it did not last three
or four times as long ns oak.
This Is the wood for farmers to grow.
If they would plant n billion trees this
year it would mean that the country
would soon be a billion dollars richer.
If you can buy the seedlings buy them.
They can be had for about three dollars
a thousand. If you cannot nfford seed
lings buy an ounce of seed, sow it in
drills in rich soil, keep nil weeds out.
and next spring set the trees where
they are to stand. Whether you buy
the seedlings or seed be sure that they
are Spceiosa. lie doubly sure of it. If
you hnve a rough spot or a side hill
cover it with this valuable tree. Set
them about six by eight feet apart, and
when they rench post size cut out each
alternate tree, leaving them eight by
12 feet npnrt. The cntalpa must have
room. It will not bear crowding after
It gets up 30 feet or so. The s 1 is
winged like m lipid seed and should b'
covered about nn inch deep. Drop them
about six inches apart. If the seed
does not nil hppenrsound drop two in a
hill. If planted where they are to stand
permanently drop three in n place. and
pull out nil but one plant when a foot

When three or four months old, put
on a halter. Take about 40 feet of
eoi'd. double it, lie a knot in the
doubled curd so that the loop will
slip over the colt's rump or ipiurters
but not up under the tail. Have the
knot in the loop come about in front
of saddle, Kmi ends of cord through
each side of the ring of halter, stand
in front of the coir and give a gentle
pull. If he does not come readily,
step a little to one side, and pull
quick. You will throw him off his

von will have your colt educated to

Too much care cannot be exercised
in grading hogs for shipment. I'ni
formity of sie nnd quality is neces
sary to secure the best price; a few
flabby, half-finished animals will
sometimes result in the entile load
selling for several cents per hundred
pounds less than it would if every ani
mal were uniform. This in the aggre
gate amounts to a sum considerably
in excess of the value of the poorly
finished hogs in the load. It is better
to ship n load three or four short and
have an even lot than to send in the
full number and have the uniformity
broken by three or four culU. which
nearly always take a position on the
