Geese are probably the hardest OF
oil domestic fowls. They require less
attention and little or no outlay for
buildings. The two great objections
to geese are the noise they make and
the fact that they almost spoil . pas
ture for other stock. Cattle or sheep
do not like to Craze after geese have
gone over the grass. Yet there should
be a place for them on many more
farms than now keep them. Under
the right conditions, geese give bet

poultry, but II you do not understand
their nature and do not know how to
care for them, they are often the
least profitable.
