SUFFERED 45 YEARS 4 "I Am a Well Man in Every Way and Fees as Strong and Healthy as I Ever Did," He Says. •'I wouldn’t take five hundred dol lars in cash for the good four bottles of Tanlac did me,” said J. M. Mallory, a well-known farmer of Stonewall, Georgia, a short time ago. “For forty-five years I suffered al most every day,” he continued, “and was so crippled up with rheumatism that I had to hobble around on crutches. My knees were so stiff I could hardly bend them and often I have been so weak that I have had to take to my bed for weeks at a time. More than half the time I couldn’t do any work. I had indigestion and stom ach trouble too, and my back hurt so bad that I couldn’t lay on my left side at all. I tried every medicine I saw advertised and many prescriptions be sides, but kept getting worse. “My brother living in Atlanta told me what Tanlac had done for him and begged me to try it. Well, sir, I have taken four bottles in all and have thrown my crutches away for the rheu matism is entirely gone and I can jump two feet off the ground without It hurting me a bit. lam a well man In every way and feel as strong and healthy as I ever did in my life.” There is a Tanlac dealer in your town. —Adv.

Yet has any physician told you that we claimed unreasonable remedial properties for Fletcher’s Castoria? Just ask them. We won’t answer it ourselves, we know what the answer will be. That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed for it in its early days is to be found in its increased use, the recommendation by prominent physicians, and our assurance that its standard will be maintained. Imitations are to be found in some stores and only because of the Cas toria that Mr. Fletcher created. But it is not the genuine Castoria that Mr. Fletcher Honestly advertised. Honestly placed before the public, and from which he Honestly expects to receive his reward. z — Genuine Castoria always bears the signature of Why Bottle Was Empty. One delight of small Harold was to go on an errand to a neighboring store. After school yesterday at No. 3 he was sent by his mother to get a siphon of vichy. He was long in returning. When he did arrive, his mother scold ed him for consuming so much time. “Why,” she exclaimed, “and the si phon is nearly empty. Do you mean to tell me that is all the vichy there was in the bottle when you got it?” “Well, mamma,” Harold replied, “on the way home I met little Sarah’s cat.” “Well ?” “The cat said ‘p-s-st’ to me and the siphon said ‘p-s-s-t’ to her.” TRY A MEDICINE THAT PROVES ITS VALUE During the entire period of time that I have been handling Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root I have nevei heard a single com plaint.

PROFIT WITH SMALL NUMBER OF GEESE (By H. M. LAMON and A. R. LEE.) The goose industry is at present on the basis of small flocks raised on gen eral farms; few-, if any, farms being devoted entirely to goose raising. In some producing sections, however, the fattening of geese is conducted as a special business. For this business the geese are collected from general farms, usually over a large area, and are fattened for several weeks before being killed. Geese can be raised in small num bers successfully and at a profit on farms where there is low rough pas ture land with a natural supply of water. Pasturage is essential to their success. Geese are generally quite free from disease and all insect pests, but occasionally are affected by the dis eases common to poultry. Grass makes up the bulk of the feed for geese, and it Is doubtful whether it pays to raise them unless good grass range is avail able. A body of water where they can swim is considered essential dur ing the breeding season and is a good feature the rest of the year. The mar ket for geese is not so general as for chickens. This should be considered In undertaking the raising of geese. The demand and the price paid for geese fattening is conducted on a large scale. Many geese are kept In the South for the production of feathers rather than for their flesh, but the de mand for their feathers is not so good as it has been, making the business less profitable. Wherever possible the geese on a farm should have free range. Many farmers in the South keep them to kill the weeds in the cot ton fields. Houses. Except in winter or during stormy weather, when some protection should be provided, mature geese do not usu ally need a house. Some kind of shel ter, such as a shed open on the south side, a poultry house or a barn Is usually provided by breeders in the South. Coops, barrels or some other dry shelter should be provided for young goslings. The goose houses should be kept clean and plenty of clean straw provided for the floor. Selecting and Mating. Geese, like other kinds of poultry, should be selected for size, prolificacy and vitality. They should be mated several months prior to the breeding season to obtain the best results; therefore breeding stock should be bought in the fall. Goose matings are not changed from year to year unless the results are unsatisfactory. A gan der may be mated with from one to four geese, but pair or trio matings usually give the best results. The wild gander usually mates with only one goose. When mated, geese are allowed to run in flocks. From four to twenty five geese may be kept on an acre of land, and under most conditions ten is a fair average. Incubation. Geese are fed a ration to produce eggs during the latter part of the win ter or so that the goslings will be hatched by the time there is good grass pasture. They are allowed to make nests on the floor of the house, or large boxes, barrels or shelters are provided for that purpose. The eggs should be collected dally and kept in a cool place where the contents will not evaporate too freely: if kept for some time they may be stored in loose bran. The first eggs are usually set under hens, while the last ones which the goose lays may be hatched either under hens or under the goose if she goes broody. If the eggs are not re moved from the nest in which the goose is laying she will usually stop laying sooner than if they are taken away. Some breeders prefer to raise all the goslings under hens, as geese sometimes become difficult to manage when allowed to hatch and rear their young. Hens used for hatching goose eggs must be dusted with insect pow der and have good attention, as. in the case of geese, the period of incubation is longer than In that of fowls. Good eggs may be hatched In incubators and <he goslings successfully raised in brooders, although this is not a com mon practice. The period of incubation of goose eggs varies from 28 to 30 days. Mois ture should be added to the eggs after the first week if set under hens or in incubators; this is usually done by sprinkling the eggs or the nest with warm water. Four to six eggs are set under a hen and ten to thirteen under a goose. They may be tested about the tenth day. and those which are in fertile or contain dead germs should be removed. They hatch slowly, es- pecially under hens, and the goslings are usually removed as soon as hatched and kept in a warm place until the process is over, when they are put back under the hen or goose. Some breeders who hatch with both geese and hens give all the goslings to the geese. Hens with goslings may be con fined to the coop and the goslings al lowed to range. The latter, especially if the weather is cold, are not usually allowed to go into water until they are several days old. In mild weather the hens are allowed to brood the gos lings for from seven to ten days, when the latter are able to take care of themselves. Good-sized growing coops, with board floors, should be provided for the goslings, and they must be pro tected from their enemies, and given some attention when on range. Feeding Geese and Goslings. Geese are generally raised where they have a good grass range or pas ture, as they are good grazers, and, except during the winter months, usu ally pick up most of their living. The pasture may be supplemented with light feeds of the common or home grown grains or wet mash daily, the necessity and quantity of this feed de pending on the pasture. Goslings do not need feed until they are twenty four to thirty-six hours old, when they should be fed any of the mashes rec ommended for chickens or ducklings. Preparation for Market. Before marketing the young geese the average farmer can feed advanta geously a fattening ration either while the geese are on grass range or con fined to small yards, but it is doubt ful whether it would pay him to con fine them to individual or small pens and make a specialty of fattening un less he has a special market or retail trade for well-fattened stock. Geese are usually killed and picked in the same manner as other kinds of poultry. Some markets prefer dry picked geese, while in other markets no difference is made in the price of scalded or dry-picked geese. When feathers are to be saved, fowls should not be scalded but should be picked dry before or after steaming. On most farms where geese are raised the feathers are plucked from the live fowls at some time prior to moulting. About 1 1-10 pounds per goose is the average yield of feathers. Feathers are worth from 30 cents to $1 a pound and the picking cost per goose is about 11 cents. Breeds. The Toulouse, the largest of the standard breeds of geese, is a good layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs a year, is docile, grows rapidly, and makes a good market bird. However, its dark pinfeathers make it a slightly less attractive market goose than the Emden. These geese are very mas sive in proportions with short legs. The bill and feet are dark orange color; head, neck and back of dark gray; breast light gray, but descend ing lighter till beyond the legs and tail they are a pure white. This com bination of colors presents a very at tractive appearance. They live to a good old age and are easy keepers. MILLIONS OF EGGS SPOILED If Delicate Gelatinous Coating Is Brok en Egg Will Immediately Begin to Deteriorate. It is not necessary to smash an egg to spoil it. It is provided with a del icate gelatinous coating for protection which keeps out air and germs only so long as the coating is intact. If the egg is cracked or checked, even so slightly that it cannot be detected, this protective coating is broken and the egg will not keep so well. Over 13,000.000 dozen eggs spoil annually in cold storage in this country on ac count of checked shells. This Is an immense waste of food which could be greatly lessened if there were greater care in handling the eggs.

Why do children lie? Edwin S. Ful ler in the Mother's Magazine answers he question by saying that the imagi nation of a child is stronger than his intellect, that fiction is as real to a child as fact. “The cure for lies inspired by imagi nation,” he asserted, “is the education of the child's intellect to distinguish between fact and fancy. As his error is mental, not normal, his cure must be mental. It would be a grave error of training to attempt to suppress his imagination as a cure for his untruths. Imagination is the mainspring which moves his mentality to growth, hence it should be directed into rational channels and not curbed. I GIRLS! MAKE A I J * I BEAUTY LOTION : !

After all. the plain truth is that ad venture consists less in the experiences one actually has than in the indefatiga ble expectancy witit which one awaits them, writes Edgar J. Goodspeed in the Atlantic. Indeed, I sometimes fear that people must be divided into those who have adventures and those who appre ciate them. And between the two the affinity for adventure is greater treas ure than the experiencing of it. If we are possessed of the affinity, adventure itself is. at most, just round the cor ner from us. This opens the life ot adventure to all who crave it. What possibilities lie in merely crossing a street, for example! Some one re marked the other day as he dodged across among the motorcars, "Why not take a chance now and then and lead a real life for a few minutes'.-" I therefore recommend tite life of ad venture. It conceives each ray as a fresh enterprise, full of delightful pos sibilities and promise, and so preserves tite wine of life from growing flat. Here is the secret of youth.
