for general purposes, especially breed
ing for market, the honors are shared
pretty evenly by the Toulouse nnd the
Enibden.
The Toulouse are natives of France,
deriving their name from the town of
Toulouse. The present-day Toulouse
is larger nnd finer than the French
breed of Ibis name nnd is the product
of English breeders. The Karl of
Derby first Imported Toulouse from
southern France about 1S40; the breed
undoubtedly dates back to the old
original ‘gray goose.” The desired
weights for Toulouse geese are:
adult gander, 20 pounds; young gan-
>> pounds; adult goose, 20 pounds;
g goose, 10 (Kiunds. The best
mens have a deep, full breast,
rather flat hack nnd long body. This

Burning the Yule Log,
Old Christmas Custom
fX MANY an old British mansion It
1 was customary to light tali candles
on Christmas eve, and then a huge
log was rolled onto the hearth, called
the Yulelog. This log was so large
that it required the strength of sev
eral men to roll It Into place. The log
was cut from, a tree felled at mid
night: and was to be placed on the
hearth during midnight mass on
Christmas eve, nnd was to be lighted
by the head of the family, a piece
of this burning wood was to lie laid
aside to light the next year’s log with,
while at the same time, it would pro
tect the household during the coming
year. In some sections of Germany a
piece of this charred wood
under the be* 1 td overt the much-
drwtded lighting stroke. The hunting
of thc Yulelog In each homestead
wonts to have been a survival of the
ndonttlon once offered to thc sun at
the winter solstice.
