RAISING Geese on EARNS.

Young geese are easily cared for
and cause little trouble or expense tc
raise after the first six weeks, pro
vided they have access to good goose
pasturage. They are really grazing
birds, and will forage for themselves
on the right kind of land. Not only
do they get most of their own living,
but tend to improve the quality of the
land.
NO great expense is required for
building. A low house four feet high
answers for shelter. The floor should
be covered with plenty of litter, and
no special attention to warmth is re-

as oats, to be fed off by the geese.

During the laying season, early in
the spring, the eggs should be re-
moved from the nest so that the goose
VIII lay as many eggs as possible,
usually from thirty to forty. The sur
plus eggs may be placed under hens,
three or four eggs to hen, choosing
large sized birds. The period of
Matching is thirty days. The eggs set
under hens are apt to lack moisture
and should be sprinkled occasionally
to prevent the inner skin from being
tough and hindering the Matching of
the gosling. .~.
The, young goslings will almost
raise themselves, being hardy and
strong and growing very fast. They
soon become able to look after them
selves. Unlike chickens, they need
very little brooding, and at the end
OF week or ten days may be kept in
good sized f1ocks of twenty or twenty

they should be confined in a. low. !

should be in shady place, and con.
nected with a sheltered coop.
These youngsters are fed very much |
like young chickens, plenty of good
fresh skim-milk being especially de-
sirable to make rapid growth. After
the first ten days the appetite of t
growing goslins becomes very vigor-
GUS, and cheapness should be sought
in the food ration. Besides the grass
which will furnish a large
part of the food, it is possible to work
OFF various cheap by-products, such as
slightly damaged grains, which may
be had at seventy-ffve cents to 81 per
hundred at the grain stores making a
speciality of such lines.
The goslings may be either grown
quickly to market as green geese or
kept through the season for the
Christmas trade, both plans being
followed by those farmers of the east.
