GEESE FOR MARKET.
A Branch of the Poultry business
Which Possesses a Number of
Special Advantages.

If there is abundant pasturage little
other food is required, as a goose de-
ponds largely upon grass for susten-
ance during the summer months. Dur
ing winter there should be some in
closure or protection provided, and
the geese should be fed twice a day.
Shredded hay or silage is suitable,
giving corn at least once day or so.
If geese are fed too much grain ii
will induce laying too early in the sea
son and the eggs will probably not be
fertile. Geese seek mates in February.
Among the many varieties we think
the Embden, African and Toulouse are
most profitable. \ good cross is OBJ
tanned by mating an African gandeI
with Embden geese. The cross secures
better layers and the color of the flesh
is improved. The green goose" as
the goose is styled when about four
months old, is in demand in the mar
kets if fattened nicely. Sometimes
young geese are sent to market at two
months old. if of good size and well
fattened. To fatten they should be

KEEP FENCES TIGHT.
Good Part of the Injury to Stock
from Bnrbs Is Due Almost
Altogether to Neglect.

One of the most common causes OF
breachy animals OH the farm is poor
fences, and we may GO further and say
that a good part of the injury to stock
from barbed wire fences, is due to a
poor condition of the fence. The
wires get loose and sag down, and
stock get tangled up in them and in
jure themselves much worse than they
would if the fences were kept up prop
erly. Low tumble down fences are a
constant temptation to stock to
break over, and once they get started
II will be much more difficult to re-
strain. The safest plan in all cases is
to keep the fences in good condition,
especially those around the pastures.
If the stock are to be changed con-
stantly from one pasture or field tic
another, provide good gates, as lay
ing the fences part way down and
compelling the animals to jump over
what is left up, is giving them the first
lessons in jumping or becoming
breachy. If an animal seems inclined
to be breachy, get rid of it as soon as
possible, as one mischievous or breachy
animal on the. farm will soon teach
the greater part of the others to be
like them. With wire fences properly
built. care being taken to have strong
corner posts we'll braced, it is not
much work TO keep them in good con-
flition. But no matter what kind of
fences there may be on the farm it is
good plan to go over them every few
weeks and see that they are kept in
good epair.-Prairie Farmer.

it will result successfully.

The proposed plan involves methods
and appliances outside of those usually
employed in wrecking. They necessi-

various kinds in righting and
raising the ship that rarely, if even
before, have been used on vessels OF
the size and weight of the Colon, and
although there is some doubt of its
success, the navy department officials
think the prize well worth the trial.

In a horse a strong foot has the
ibers of the hoof very distinct, SO
much so that they resemble in appear
.nce those of easily split timber. But
hoof of this kind, if not kept moist
and pliable, soon becomes almost as
hard as iron and is liable to render the
foot lame and tender, without reveal
ing the cause Of the lameness. When
IL is hurt and locally inf1amed, trouble
some cruptions around the coronet
are liable to appear.
A thin hoof" is one which has a
thin wall. 1t may be perfectly shaped
in every way, but is peculiarly liable
to get cut of order either from attach
ing the shoe, travelling on hard ground
or during excessive drought in sum-
mer or of moisture in winter. In near
" all cases the bottom of a thin hoof
is ragged, and when the shoe is re-
moved the whole verge is seen to be
thin.
4 narrow-heeled foot is, in some
cases, reasonably good, but in others
is inclined to various bad conditions,
and when tempered with, as is SO often
done by blacksmiths in shoeing. is al
most certain to become hoofbound.

size is in most cases accompanied by
slenderness and comparative weak
ness of limb and is good Indication
Of inability for brisk or vigorous ac-
ton. \ horse with high-heeled foot
is subject to unsteadiness of action
and is liable to stumble and to sprains

a low-heeled hoof renders the animal
a bad traveller.
A fiat foot, shaped like an oyster.
usually has many rings or wrinkles,
and usually requires hollow-shaped

their mates, or they will be restless
and will consequently not take on fat
so easily. Plenty of grass and water
must be given daily, in addition tc
grain or scalded meal. Cooked tur.

Young goslings should not be al

for much the same as ducklings until
strong enough to follow the mother

plenty of drinking water and bath
now and then is beneficial, it is not es-
sential that ponds should be prepared
for them, nor that they should dabble
in water at all times. If running water
is natural feature of the farm and
the geese have access to it at all times.
then it will be necessary to pen the
goslings and the mothers for few
weeks until the down is we'll out on the

should be fed to goslings; also table
scraps are much liked.
One pound of feathers is nearly the
average obtained from six geese when
picked for their feathers. When
killed three geese will furnish one
pound of feathers.
The African or Toulouse will lay
from 90 to 25 eggs. The first laying
should be set under hens and the goose
allowed to sit on the last laying OF
clutch, as it is called. AS a rule each
goose should average 20 goslings in a
year. and as the average weight will be
about ten pounds each when well fat
tened for market, it will be seen that
with a good breed to start with, good
care, etc, raising geese for market
will prove as paying as other branches
of poultry raising. Those who intend
shipping should send to dealers in
poultry for modes of preparing for
market, since modes differ in different
sections.-A. c. Mcpherson. in Farm
