THE FATTENING OF GEESE.
How the Article Known Commercially
as "Foie Gras' Is Produced
in France.

The most extreme method of artifi-
whose livers are to be used for the
delicacy known as "foi gras" (fat
liver. This art of fattening geese I'M
til fatty infltration of the liver has
set in and that organ weighs from 2h
to three pounds is practiced on a large
scale about Strasburg, and to a less ex-
tent about Toulouse and elsewhere.
The birds are usually confined in small,
dark cages; they can move only a few
inches, and are fed two or three times
a day, commonly with all the ground
maize or wheat-1our paste they can
be made to eat. When they have be-
come very fat, usually at the end of
about three weeks. they are killed and
the livers removed.
The livers, which are perhaps no
over-fed hog, commonly appear in our
market in jars or tins in three distinct
forms. Foie gras al naturel, pate de
foie gras (by far the most popular)
and PURGE de foie gras. The foie gras
au naturel is simply the liver pre-
served without any dressing. The
pates are made of large pieces of the
liver, cooked and dressed with truf-
f1es and other condiments. These
pieces are fitted into ans by trim
ming off the edges, and are covered
with melted goose fat or suet. Many
fat too strong and prefer the suet. The
trimmings of the liver in the pates
are preserved with truffles, etc, and
sold as PURGE de foie gras.-Bulletin

boards are wide; or if you want to
have a double breaster, cut them long
enough to reach clear across all three
bottles. Now drive a five penny nail
through the timber just over the mouth
of the bottles. Leave not less than
one-eighth of the head end of the nails
up. These are to hold the bottom
boards from slipping and sliding about,
and the lower parts of the nails will
hold the rails on the mouths of the bot
ties. Hard winds will not slip either
rail or hive.
Such a hive stand is very simple,
and the glass posts are everlasting so
far as decaying is concerned. 1t can
be made very cheap and serviceable as
a dual stand or for three hives if pre-
ferred. l consider such a stand a most
excellent one-so good that | shall
adopt it for all of my hives.
If desired, four pieces may be used
to constitute the frame work, and these
securely nailed together. Then a longer
nail will be required to reach through
anu uONd III JllC IICChS VI luc OOllltS.
Such a frame might be necessary
where three or four stories are left
full of honey for any length of time.
An auger-hole may be made to re-
ceive a pin that will fill the mouths of
the bottles instead of holding the
frame work or stand with nails. In
this case l would allow a quarter of
the pin to stand above to prevent the
bottom-board from slipping. Shorter
bottles, such as pint beer bottles, could
be used and bought some cheaper.
A long black bottle with a deeper re.
cess or sink in the bottom could be
used and set up much more easily by
taking a wet spell to do the bottle part
of the work. The necks could be
pushed into the ground up to the Shout
der of the bottle, and the concave end
used to hold the frame work by means
of small blocks of wood being cut just
the size of the recess in the bottom.
These long bottles will hold the hive
bottom up so that ones feet may be
showed under the hive; besides. they
hold the hive up from the ground away
from moisture, toads and rats, as we'll
as at a convenient working distance,
thereby doing away with so much
back breaking toll.
This stand puts ones second stories

can do almost all the days work in

A Plea for Country Life.

Many a farmer, who has retired and
settled in some village, town or city, Is
winding up his days in inconsistencies
and isolation. He finds the city a closed
book so far Is genial companionship
and pleasant living are concerned, and
in most cases the retired farmers are
downright unhappy in their new sur
roundings. For good old hospitality
commend us to the country with its
plain living on the salt of the earth
