FmtteninG Geene.

The following method In fattening Ia
adopted by the English goose farmer:
Geese in good condition should be shut
up in a quiet place. shaded from light.
where they cannot see other geese at
liberty, and should be kept there from
twenty TO twenty-five days. It4s bene-
ficial to let them out for about fifteen
to thirty minutes the first thing in the
morning and again in the evening be-
fore dusk. The meals they get should
be nutritious. and a mixture OF barley
meal wheat meal. little cornmeal
and boiled potatoes given warm twice
a day is good. About the last ten or
twelve days 1t is advisable to mix lit
tie finely chopped rough fat with the
meal. This has the effect OF Pumping
them up, rendering their flesh much
more palatahle. A trough OF clean
water shouid be supplied the birds
after the evening meal.
