FOR TEN DOLLARS
And Filed on Western Canada
Land. Now Worth $50,000.
Lawrence Bros. of Vera, Saskatche
wan, are looked upon as being amongst
the most progressive farmers in West
ern Canada. They have: had their
“ups-and-downs,” and know what it
is to be in tight pinches. They perse
vered, and are now in an excellent
financial position. Their story is an
interesting one. Coming in from the
states they traveled overland from
Calgary across the Battle river, the
Red Deer river, through the Eagle
Hills and on to Battleford. On the
way their horses were stolen, but this
did not dishearten them. They had
some money, with which they bought
more horses, and some provisions.
When they reached Battleford they
had only money enough to pay their
ferriage over the Saskatchewan river,
and this they had to borrow. It was
in 1906 that they filed on homesteads,
having to sell a shotgun for ten dol
lars in order to get sufficient money to
do so. Frank Lawrence says:
“Since that time we have acquired
altogether a section and a half of
land, in addition to renting another
three quarters of a section. If we
had to sell out now we could probably
realize about $50,000, and have made
ell this since we came here. We get
crps in this district of from 30 to
85 bushels of wheat to the acre and
oats from 40 to 80 bushels to the acre.
Stock here pays well. We have 1,700
sheep, 70 cattle and 60 horses, of which
a number are registered Clydes.”
Similar successes might be given of
the experiences of hundreds of farm
ers thiroughout Western Canada, who
have done comparatively as well. Why
should they not dress well, live well,
have comfortable homeés, with all mod
ern equipments, electric light, steam
heat, pure ventilation, and automo
hiles. Speaking of automobiles it will
be a revelation to the reader to ledrn
that during the first half of 1917, 16,-
000 automobile licenses were issued in
Alberta, twice as many as in the whole
of 1916. In Saskatchewan, 21,000 li
censes were issued up to the first of
May, 1917. In its monthly bulletin for
June the Canadian Bank of Commerce
makes special reference to this phase
and to the general prosperity of the
West in the following: :
“Generally speaking the western
farmer is, in many respects, in a much
better position than hitherto to in
crease his production. Two years of
high prices for his producis have en
abled him, evén with a normal crop,
to liquidate a substantial proportion
of his liabilities and at the same time
to buy improved farm machinery. His
prosperity is reflected in the demand
for building materials motor cars
and other equipment. It is no doubt
true that some extravagance is evi
denced by the astonishing demand for
motor cars, but it must be remembered
that many of these cars will make for
efficiency on the farm and economize
both time and labor.”—Advertisement.
APOLOGIZING TO THE TIGER
Raymond Blathwayt Tells of His Ex
periences While Connected With
a Traveling Menagerie.
In a book of reminiscences, “Through
Life and Round the World,” Raymond
Blathwayt tells the following story in
connection with a traveling menagerie
he attached himself to while knocking
about the West during his salad days.
“One day just after breakfast,” he
says, “I peeped in at the messroom
door. There was a full-grown tiger
licking the jam and bacon off the
plates. ; : (
“+Oh, I beg your par@‘on ” I ejacu
lated, as I hastily shut the door. A
moment after I met Jack, the tiger’s
keeper.
“¢‘ can’t find that other tiger no
where,” he said to me. ‘I guess I've
mislaid the old critter.’
“‘You have,’ I icily replied, for I was
a good deal annoyed with the danger I
had so narrowly escaped. “You’ll find
him in the messroom licking the plates.’
““Thank you, mate,’ he said.
“An hour after I overheard the pro
prietor asking his little son if he had
washed up the breakfast dishes.
“‘Hadn’t no need to, pop; the tiger
licked 'em like he knew they wanted
cleanin’!’.”
No Prismotion.
“What business did you say the boss
was in?’ asked the clerk.
“Why, he’s a promoter,” replied the
superintendent.
“Well, there must be some mistake.
He's never promoted me. I've held
the same insignificant job ever since
I've been here.”
In All Things.
“Mrs. Smith is a consistent woman,”
“Yes; she even sticks her husband
for pin money.”

R R A ORI
TOULOUSE AND EMDEN ARE POPULAR BREEDS.
(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 pesfs, but
occasionally are affected by the dis
eases common te poultry. Grass makes
up the bulk of the feed for geese, and
it is doubtful whether it pays to ralse
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 soiae 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 sore other
dry shelter should be provided for
young goslings. The goose houses
should be kept clean and plenty of
clean straw yrovlded 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 falr 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 daily 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
the 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; tkis 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. 'Thev may be tested about
the tenth day, and those which are in
fertile or contain dead germs should
be removed. They hatch slowly, es
EAGLE RIVER REVIEW, EAGLE RIVER, WIS.
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
all ywed 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 thé 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 geest
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 cenats. ;
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 pinfeather, 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 &
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.
KEEP FOWLS CUT OF GARDEN
If Hens Are Kept Contented in
Chicken Yard Vegetable Plot Will
Not Be Disturbed.
Hens are creatures of habit. If they
are kept contented in the chicken yard
the garden may be next deor and never
be disturbed. But let one old hen fly
over the fence, and she has graduated
from the chicken yard. She will not
only go over again, but she will teach
others to attempt the feat. &he has

DADDY'S EVENING
FAIRY TALL
6y MARY GRAUAM BONNER.
RACCOONS' CORN FEAST.
Daddy Raccoon was teaching the
children their lessons.
“Whenever you are near water,” he
said, “you must be sure to wash your
food. That makes it so much cleaner.”
For the raccoon is very clean angd cares
a great deal about his food being nice
-and clean and fresh.
“You can eat a great meny things,”
said Daddy Raccoon. “You are allowed
eggs of all kinds, fish, frogs, turtles
and all sorts of fruit and nuts.”
“The best of all you haven’'t men
tioned,” said the Raccoon children.
“Ah, I am keeping it as a surprise,”
said Daddy Raccoon.
“When are we going?” asked the
children., .
“Going where?”’ asked Daddy Rac
coon, as if he didn’t know at all what,
the children were talking about.
“Dear me,” sighed Mother Raccoon,
“the children get to know so much‘
these days. Yes, it was different in my
time. I didn’t know about corn untii I
was told about it.”
At that all the Raccoon children
laughed shrilly. “Oh, mother,” they
said, “now you have let the cat out of
the bag. We didn’t say we knew it
was corn.” :
“Let what cat out of what bag?”
asked Mother Raccoon. “I haven’t a
cat nor a bag. What absurd nonsense
you children talk.”
“Oh,” said one of the Raccoon chil
dreh, “that is just an expression,”
“Still I don’t understand,” said Moth
er Raccoon. “I suppose lam not up-,
to-date.” '
“An expression is a saying,” said the:
Raccoon child. “It is something people
say—llots and lots of people. And it's:
supposed to be wise.” :
“What does it mean?” asked Mother:
Raccoon, who was much puzzled. !
“It means that someone has let the
secret out—or the thing that was sup
posed to be kept in.”
“Why did they use the cat and bag
for example?” .
_ “Oh, I don’t know,” said the littlel
raccoon, “unless it was started by
someone cruel and foolish—but it’s!

been said so often now-that no one
stops to think what 1% means. Now it
only means that a secret has been let
out.”
“And corn was a secret?’ laughed
Mother Raccoon. *“I have myx doubts
about that.”
“So have we,” sald the children.*But
you know we were not supposed to
know and you let it right out.”
“So I did, so I did,” said Mother Rac
coon. e (o
“Well, no harm done,” said Daddy
Raccoon. “If the children find out
about corn so much sooner than they
did in eur time—well,-all I can say is
that it is mighty smart of them.”
“And now children,” said Mother
Raccoon, “you all know that corn is
good for raccoons. Yes, it is very,
very good.” And Mother Raceoon
smacked her lips with the thought
of it.
“I think lessons are over with for
today,” said Daddy Raccoon, taking
off his spectacles made out of twigs
of small trees and holes cut out of
large green leaves..
“Goodies, now,” sald the children.
“And what is more, we have a sur
prise for you.”
“What!” exclaimed their parents.
“Yes,” said the children. “The rea
son we know about corn is because we
have found a cornfield, where the corn
48 just ripe. We somehow went to it
as if it were our natures to do so.”
The raccoon parents laughed and
said, “Well, somehow it is!”
“And now we're going to show you
the field.”
“Is it in a dangerous place?” asked
Mother Raccoon, who had had so many
terrible adventures stealing eorn that
she was a little nervous.
“No,” said the children. “It is a
particularly nice cornfield. There
seem to be no rude creatures around
to drive us off. We’ll have a corn
feast.” .
And indeed they did! Mother and
Daddy Raccoon and all the Raccoon
children, and the children certainly
acted as though they had always
known and loved the taste of summer
corn,
Doing Without.
One of the arts of life is to learn
how to do without. Few of us have
anything we consider desirable and if
we grumble over every little depriva
tion we make ourselves miserable and
our associates uncomfortable, To
learn to do without and yet be cheery
and happy, goes far toward making
lfe a success.—Girl’s Companion,
_ Kllauea’s Lava Lake.
Early reports indicate that the
alarms of war will not prevent many
Americans from visiting their new
national park in Hawaii. Yhree cele
brated volcanoes, Kilauea, Mauna
Loa and Haleakala are iam the new
reservation. The lava lake at
Kilauea, a spectacle which has drawn
thousands of visitors in past years
from every part of the world, will
be, it is predicted, unusually spectacu
lar this season because of the recent
increased volcanic activity in the re
gion. ;
Subtle Patriotism.

wearing.”

the proper thing just now and making
all clothes that aren’t soldier clothes
look as ridiculous as possible.”

“America has no art and no poetry !”
“Evidently,” said the business man,
severely, “you are neglecting to read

Honest Advertising

That it has all the virtues to-day that was claimed forit in its early days
is to befound inits increased use, the recommendationby 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

Disturbing Remark.
. A country lawyer was defending a
prisoner who had killed a man by hit
ting him on the head with a brick.
The case against the prisoner being
quite clear, the counsel endeavored to
get his client off by making a per
fervid speech. He said: “The respon
sibility of defending my client is al
most overwhelming. This morning, as
I was walking in my garden enjoying
the lovely sunshine and balmy air, lis
tening to the birds singing, and look
ing at all the beautiful flowers, I said
to myself, ‘My poor client, immured in
his cell, can see none of these
things?!?”
Just then a spectator at the back of
the court shouted: “Neither can the
man he hit on the head with a brick!”
