Many persons, after having decided to try their hand at geese raising, purchase a few mongrels of light weight, at market prices, instead of sending to a reliable breeder and getting first-class stock at a price that would seem exhorbitant to them. An exchange savs this is a mistake, and one that must inevitably follow through the whole course. The live or i more pounds that the well-bred goose outweighs the common goose will *howitS?{f enormous difference in the receipt. The main thought to be kept in mind is the worthlessness of the articles of food in which geese delight and which comprises, for a great part, things wasted and at the most of little value. Cabbage, turnips, potatoes, and all other kinds of vegetables and grasses form their staple food, with only sufficient grain to give a vtiriptr Thov nrr> rlififincflw o rrm^iiwr J. J ?"vv * r poultry, nnd will keep the grass as closo as a flock of sheep. 1 ho value of their manure upon worn-out pasture must also not be lost sight of, as it is rich in amount, and, for this reason geese woujd seem to rival sheep for benefiting many parts our country. The fintf)i'ni -\\j f1:' v,,T v>lunh'0' are plucked by some once in a month or six weeks. "While I should not advocate it as often as this, yet they may certainly be plucked once or twice a year and be benefited by it, as the process of molting is facilitated. The only precaution to be taken is that no blood is drawn with the feathers. If the quills contain blood it ! may be inferred that the feathers arc not in a ripe condition and on no account must they be disturbed. It will be found in a large flock of geese, as in one of hens, that all the members do not molt at one stated time, hut. vary some weeks, so that they should he plucked at different periods, when the feathers are in the ripest condition.?Farm, Field and Stocki man. ft i ' TIIE GREAT STAPLE INDIAN CORE. ^ 1 The often-heard statement that " :nru I is king" in this country needs tio idpeti tion, yet it is doubtful if its gr^at value < is in all respects fully appreciated.

This is then trodden down firmly, and upon it with the prong hoe and garden-rakc a fine mellow seedbed is made. The seed is sown by line aad not by mark, on the surface in four rows four inches apart. If a shower comes along at the right time no other covering is needed, otherwise it iscovered by the liberal use of water throngh a fine hose, which watering is followed up as often as necessary through the season. Planted, in good garden soil wftfi n<T <T<L mixture of manure or fertilizer, the plants* make a healthy growth and a broad aud I vigorous root-growth before reaching the Theso plants arc, in fact, as well "hardened" and better rooted than the twice- I transplanted plants put upon the market | in their seasou. The ouly labor subsequently expended upou the bed is to keep down the weeds and to thin the plauts to one in three inches in the row, and no further attention is necessary, except to provide water in case of drouth. There may he a few straggling leaves in the outside rows, but as a whole the waste stalks arc less Dinner- I ovis than under the old system. Perhaps the stalks arc not quite so white as when earth-blanched, but they are as crisp and tender, and finer flavored. There is just one risk of failure to he guarded against muter this method.

The season having thus ' been shortened at both ends, the celery is little more than half grown, but it compares favorably with most of the other crops of the season. In storing it the plants arc set with what earth adheres to the roots, upon a place in the cellar where the ground is always wet, but without any surplus water. The ventilation is good, and the celery is fit for the table till warm weather. In fact, it makes a little growth.

"Blesse I be the Lord God of Israel." Thus ends the first., second and fourth books of Psalms (xli.. 13; Ixxii., 18; cvi., 48) tolling of God's mercies and deliverances, past and future, for His people Israel. The name is first found in Kx. v., 1, when Moses and Aaron demand of Pharaoh that ho lot God's people go, and is always associated with find's special interest in that people. The prophet Jeremiah associates the two titles, Lord of Hosts and Oo<l of Israel, at least thirty times, indicating His power to care for His people and deliver them. "He hath visited and wrought redemption for His people"' (R. V.). It was four hun*'red^ yearsince Malachi had said that the covenanted with David and Abraham, but now His time had come to work redemption for them and to redeem them if they were willing.

Hannah sings of her horn and the horn of Hi* anointed; David sings of the horn of his salvation, which is Jehovah (I Sam. ii., I. 10; Ps. xviii., 2)j and in Ps. rxxxii., 17. Jehovah Himself says that in Zion He will make the horn of David to bud, indicating the coming of the Messiah from the house of David. 70.

An excellent treatment for a bullet (round is to wash the wound elean and rover with clean ninslin saturated with ? solution of carbolic acid or alcohol. Ihe great object is to keep the wound cleau and protected from the air. Do not foolishly probe for the bullet. It ran bo bettor.extracted after the healing of the wound. i To extract fish hooks from your flesh or clothing cut tho leader free and push the hook on through, depressing the upper end to as to bring the point n^ar as jioSsible'td whrfre it went in. Don't try to pull the hook back Dver the barb. Thirst can be abated by the eating of acid fruits or plants. The chewing of twigs, barks or leaves of trees and shrubs will also afford temporary relief. Snow and ice aggravate tho thirst by chilling and closing tho salivary glands. . Learn to shoot without closing your cyea wnen you pun me trigger. j?eginners will fiud it hard to do this, but it must be done. In sighting either bliotgun or rifle the left eye should be closed, except in the case of left-handed persons; then the right eye should be closed. Some men keep both eyes open, but the majority of shooters and all the craok shots close the left eye. A'i extra pair of socks are handy on a one-day out trip. Then, with your Bhoes nicely dried at my lady host's lire you will be in comfort for the noxt the apartment well ventilated. Letflii" fresh air, but keep out the draught.
