ShOeing Geese.

Every year in the country about
Warsaw, Poland, the geese are
shod, because of the long journey
they have to make to the goose mar
ket.
The Providence Journal says
In the late fall and early winter a
goose market is held at Warsaw,
and geese to the number of 5000,
600 congregate in the town. The
geese march to market on foot.
Soc come from 100 TO $50 miles
away. The average distance they
come from is silky miles and to
protect their feet on this long jour
ney they are shod. To shoe the
geese, the gooseherd first makes
them walk back and forth in n cit
ed tar. With coat of tar on their
feet they then walk through fine
sand. The result is that they are
shod with good, tongh shoe of
coated tar and sand and it protects
them we'll on their way to the
Warsaw goose market.
