GOOSE FATTENlNG.
How to Pen and Feed when Prepar-
ing Geese and Goslings For Market.

How TO Pen and Feed When Prepar-
Ing Geese and Goslings For Market.
Geese for fattening should be penned
upon high. gravelly soil or land that
will not become muddy in wet weather.
A pen for 80 geese should be perhaps
40 feet or more square and should be
bare of green crops and provided with
some shelter from the sun 4 good
shelter may be made by putting four
crOtched posts in the ground. upon
which rails may be laid, covered with
white birches or boards. These may
be fastened down, so that a high wind
will not blow them Off and injure the
geese in the pen. \ wire fence four or
six feet high is suitable for the sides
of the pen. In fattening gOslngs dur
ing warm weather provision should be
made for as much air as possible If
the weather Is warm, they eat less.
consequently fatten more slowly. When
the weather is cool, they fatten more
rapidly. When penned for fattening,
they may be fed for one or two days
quite moderately in way to prepare
them for the regular fattening ration.
During this time they can have a little
green food and such grain food as
they have been accustomed to. For
fattening they should be fed upon
scalded dough made from Indian corn
meal and sweet beef scraps.
Water should be provided in pals
or buckets. giving them fresh supply
three times daily, but only sufficient
for them to drink and not enough for
them to attempt TO battle. as water
spilled around the pen is likely to
make the ground muddy, and any IN
necessary exercise is a hindrance to
fattening 1t is better to have two
pals, each half full of water, than
one filled to the top. Goslings can get
water only for drinking. which is all
that is desired. Care should be taken
that the scalded food is always sweet
and does not stand long enough to be-
come sour and unwholesome. 1t should

Why do not breeders and farmers in

improvement of pure bred varieties of
geese Here is wide field for obser-
walton and labor. This part of the fowl
industry has most certainly been neg
lected to great extent. In the various
poultry journals and farm papers we
read of the large duck farms in nearly
all parts of the country and especially
in the east, where thousands and tens
of thousands of market ducks are pro-
duced annually, but not line can be

OF the seven varieties of geese recog-
nized by the American Poultry aSSocia-
ton and called standard varieties the
Toulouse are one Of the largest and
most popular Of the geese family.
1t is safe to say that more Toulouse
are bred throughout the country than
all other pure varieties combined.
Opinions differ regarding the origin of
the Toulouse however. our best au-
thOrity traces them to the city of Tou-
louise. province of IIaute Garonnp. in
southern France. Marked improve
ment has been made in both size and
color by iudicious breeding in the
hands Of both English and American
breeders. The standard weights for
Toulouse are IS pounds per pair for
young and IS pounds per pair for adult
specimens
In selecting Toulouse the head should
