Rearing Goslings.
I have always used large, full
feathered hens for hatchings, only al
lowing the geese to sit on the last
eggs of the season. A good broody
hen will steadily sit the 30 days occu
pied in the Incubation of these eggs.
If she be given no more than four
eggs and they are set In an earth nest
and turned once daily they should In
almost every case produce vigorous
goslings if the parent birds are healthy
and well matured.
Some people find a difficulty during
the early days of raising in the ten
dency of the birds to fall upon their
backs and an Inability to right them
selves without assistance, necessitat
ing combined watchfulness or loss.
This, however. Is a nuisance that
may be avoided by the use of the eggs
of mature, sound stock only, the
weakness being absent in the progeny
of old birds in good breeding condi
tion. The actual rearing presents no diffi
culties to one qualified in poultry
raising. Long brooding is unnecessary
and an ordinary hen coop is sufficient to
accommodate three or four goslings
and a hen as long as it is necessary
to leave the latter In charge, but dur
ing the first days the gosling's run,
which should be on short grass, should
be limited.
The best diet is a simple one anil
Tor the first few days I have found
nothing better than stale bread well
soaked and squeezed moderately dry
and mixed with a liberal allowance of
dandelion leaves, well chopped and free
from stringy pieces. Hiscult meal
may be used instead of the stale bread
but It is more expensive and the re
sults are no better.
By the middle of the first week
ground oats should take the place of
the bread, mixed with a suilicient
quantity of grit to make the mixture
Tjmbly, the dandelions being com
i:r.cd. The green food may be gradually
reduced and finally abandoned when
the young birds are grazing freely.
They should commence grazing at
cl cut a week old.
Upon a good grazing ground and
with a sufficient supply of soft food
mixture, of which ground oats should
be the staple ingredient, goslings will
progress rapidly. W. It.

It Is a wrong theory that alfalfa
cannot be raised In the east. Many
farmers have tried It and failed, but
the failure almost in every instance
may be traced to four things:
Sour soli, lack of bacteria, insufficient
preparation of the soil and impure
non-germlnatlng seed.
Lime will sweeten the soil. Soil
from an old alfalfa field will suppy
the bacteria ' and the application of
common sense and patience will do
the rest.

Quack Grass Is
Considered One of
Our Worst Weeds.
By W. Ii. Oswald. '
Farmers should study weeds, learn
how they grow, when they mature
seed, whether they come from the
seeds or from roots each year, ln
what soil they thrive best, and many
similar features of weeds. Then the
question of eradication would be more
easily solved. A weed Is most com
monly known when It Is In flower or
In fruit. Very few persons know
weeds when they first come up. Know
the weeds In every stage and condi
tion. Start with a few' of the worst
kind and gradually extend your ac-
GROWING Cl'RR.YXTS.
Currants should be propagated by
division of the plant. Where only a
few bushes are wanted they may be
obtained by separating rooted canes
from the mother plant, but ln nursery
culture plants are propagated by
cuttings In the fall. They aro made
about 8 Inches long and may be rot
out in rows at once or tied up in
bundles and stored in a "pit over
winter. Make the pit ln well drained
soli, with the butt ends up and
covered about 6 Inches deep with
earth. Set out In the spring as early
as the ground can be worked. The
rows should be 6 feet apart and the
plants 4 feet distant in the rows.
Frequent shallow culture should be

Quack grass, which is one of the

seeds in July. ' It Is propagated by
underground stems as well as seeds
and these stems are often scattered
on the hoofg of horses or by ma

grows In many kinds of soil, but
thrives best In rich soil. Its seeds

peas to one of oats, although I fre

to the price of the pea seed.
For cutting green It Is best to make
a number of sowings about a week or
ten days apart. Two or three acres
of good land should, furnish enough
forage for twenty-five or thirty cows
for a number of weeks during the
summer.
' For winter feed they will produce
more tons of good feed than clover
hay and will greatly reduce the bills
for grain feed. They should be sown

the oats are heading and the peas are
well in bloom, then the stock will eat

Do not wait until the oats are

results will follow when the treatment
Is given ln hot, dry weather after the
root systems have been somewhat ex
hausted by the growth of plants. The
seed should not be allowed to mature,
however, or If mature, the grass
should be cut and burned. !
Where a field Is badly infested, It
should be plowed deeply from five to
eight or more inches, as soon as the
hay or grain crop Is removed. The
plowing must be well done and all
portions of the plants turned under
completely. A Jointer on the plow
will aid ln turning the grass under
perfectly. The plow should be fol
lowed within a very few days by a
disc harrow, with discs set nearly
straight to avoid Inverting the sod.
The purpose Is to fill the spaces be
tween the furrow slices, thus stopping
the free circulation of air. Following
the first discing the land should be
double disced frequently enough to
prevent the appearance above the
surface of any quack grass leaves.
This wilt be twice a week In warm,
moist seasons and once a week when
the weather Is dryer. The discing
should be continued until growth

weeks. The following spring cultiva
