Geese and Goslings and their Manage
ment.


Geese set -four weeks, the goslings
breaking the shell on the 2sth. Goth,
and Both days. They should remain
on the nest as long as they like. and
require hut little food for two or three
DAYS. Crllsts Of bread soaked in milk,
is better food than Indian meal-the
latter seeming 10 sour in their crops.
Ii te wheather is pleasant they may
20 TO pasture, but it is generally ne
ccssary to keep them separate from
other geese ut first. as the ganders arc
apt to weary them by excessive attcn-
tion. a good pond furnishes the best
water, but it is not a necessity III rcas-
ing geese. A shallow vessel frequent
y supplied with fresh water, should
be provided for the goslings at times,
though they are better of shut away
from it some portion OF the day. Too
much dabbling in water Injuries them.
Ii is important to have good, warm
dry shelter for the young geese, cspc-
cially while the cool nights continue.
and until they become pretty fully
feathered. There they should remain
Oh cold and wet days, and until the
dew is well off in the morning. Feed
them frequently with handiuls Of fresh
clover, aud supply water while thus
confined. See also that their pen is
frequently cleaned and Uttered. Some
times goslings will die tlnngh treated
carefully and according to the usually
successful methods. This often occurs
we believe, from their eating some
poisonous plant, though none such
may he known to be within their reach.
Perhaps half the flock will die, ono
affcr another, when no one can account
tor the same.
Grown up geese are generally hardy,
and active in their search for food. .-
They are less likely to be mischevous
and wandering when fed with corn
each morning: and this should always
he attended to if we desire them 10 bc
thriving and profitable. The great OBJ
iect Of keeping geese is their feathers,
although they are nearly as good for
the table as other poultry, ii fattened
and killed at the right age, and pre-
pared in the proper manner. In pick
ing them alive, the proper time should
5e selected, and thatis when thcfcath
ers are ripe, and not in the green
or the pin-feather stage. The feath-
ers grow out and ripcn every seven or
eight weeks during the summer, and
should then be removed in a neat and
careful manner. To cure them, place
them in \ sack Of thin cloth, and hang
them in All airy place, shaking up and
stirring frequently. In this way they
become thoroughly dry in fewwceks,
without any disagrceablc scent, and
will keep good in any dry place until
worn out by use.-Country Gent.

Thipk Gently Of the ERIN !.

Until the hour 81 darkness came,
And darkly thus they fell.

Without thv censure roughi

And they who share a happier fate

From misery's thorny track.

And sinful yet nav be.

Survey of the Atrato and Truando Rivers.

The Secretary of the Navy transmitted the 20 inst
to the United States Senate letter from Lieut.. T. A
Craven, dated May H. in reference to the praticabty
of nteroceanc communication from the Gulf of Daren
to the Pacific oacen by the Atrato anu Turando rivers
The letter of Lieut. Cravin concsely imbopies the
results of his late survey Of those rAers and contains
the following conclusions in reference to the physical
difficulties to be overcome in opening communication
a. A cut through some five miles of submerged mud
at the mouth of the river with the prospective certainty
OF constant dredging to keep it open.
a. The herculean labor and incalcuable expense of
cutting through the agroons of the Truando and the
beeded logs of the Paos Cados where the whole
try is inundated during at least nine months of the year.
and when the food of day may destroy the work of
week.
a. The vast expense attending the removal of basal
tic rock in country where labor and provisions must
all be imported at most extravagant rates.
a. The want of an anchorage on the Pacific coast
"5 The fatal effects of the climate which it NAV be
safely estimated will at all times disable onethird of any
force that may be sent there.
You will not be surprised sir that, with the preced
ing arguments, am of the opinion that the proposed
canal is impractcable involving an expenditure of
treasury not easily estimated and sacrifice of life from
which the stoutes heart may shrink Human ingenuity
and perseverance may it is true overcome the obstacles
enumerated but at least two generations must pass
away ere the world could realize the completion Of
much less extensive work than the contemplated"
