GEESE.

How They are Fattened According to
the Strasburg Fashion.
To fatten geese aften the Strasbure
fashion, the bird must be neither toe
young nor too old, its growth must be
completed, those remarkable for their
cackling should Eot be selected, and
none chosen under ten pounds weight.
Some geese can be fattened in eight.
while others require twenty-four days:
but fifteen to eighteen days is the aver.
age period. Winter is the most propiti-
Gus time for the process, and the months
are December and January. When in
the crib every cause of excitement
should be removed. the birds must be
kept in complete darkness-in q state OF
absolute repOse-and free alike from
cold and heat. The region around
Toulouse, where forage is scarce, and
consequently milk butter rare, the geese
are fattened for their fat alone, the
flesh, feathers and liver being only Sec
oudary ends. Cracked maize, or its
meal. is the chief food employed:
thirty-ive quarts is the guam
tity used during the whole process.
Barley meal is good; some prefer a mix
ture of pea, bean, and buckwheat -four.
The stomach of q goose has q strong di.
gestive power. Wher the bird is killed
the fat is melted and placed in earthen
pots, where it retains its color and good
taste for two s;the flesh is then salt
ed like pork or beef and sold in the
locality. The Polish plan is to place the
goose in an earthen pot. having the bot
tom Knocked out. for fifteen days. giving
it as much meal paste as it can consume.
In Strasburg the geese receive maize OF
barley meal mixed with milk, and
saucer of water is within reach of their
box. At the last stage of fattening the
geese lose appetite, SO they have to be
fed with a tundish; little powdered
charcoal is added to the ration, the bet
ter to develOpe the liver. The circula-
ton Of the blood becomes very sluggish
at the close of the process, and its color
pale rose or white; the globules con-
siderably diminish. The liver is white,
friable. not bitter. and rich in albumen.
But when the final stage is reached and
the bird killed. the blood returns to its
Dormal condition, and the fat diminishes
in all parts of the body, save the liver

Abolition - slavery in the Empire.
The Emperor Of Brazil has set his face
in favor of the abolition Of slavery in the
empire. In his speech opening the
present session of the Legislature few
days ago he urged upon the members
the passage Of law making the empire
free, and a bill hasbeen prepared for the
gradual extinction of slavery, which
will receive the support Of a majority of
the members. Ameng the leading pro-
visions Of the bill are new registration

laration of value not exceeding 1000

cents) for males under twenty years,
500 between twenty and thirty, 600 from
thirty to forty, 400 from forty to fifty,
and 300 from fifty to sixty; females to
be twenty-five per cent. less. Slaves
of sixty and upward will be considered
free, and all attaining sixty will, ipso

Brazil about 1,345.OOO slaves, notwith-
standing that within the last two or
three years nearly 10000 have been vol
UNFAIRLY liberated by their masters.
While the provisions of this bill are not
so liberal as they ought t, be, it is a
long step in advance for country like
Brazil. where in the coffee fields slave
labor is immensely profitable, and in a
country where the people are not edu-
Gated up to moral standard that OBJ
tains in most other civilized countries.
The Emperor has for many years been
urging the eradication of slavery, and
bills have been passed for its gradual
extinction. but little has been accom-
plished under any of them. The slave
trade has been abolished. and, as none
can be bought to take the place of those
freed. it will not be long before the en-
pire will he wholly free territory
