new quarters, but to each other. for
geese do not mate readily, and II put
together after Jan. 1 will often fall
to breed that year. Old, well-mated
geese of the highest quality are the
cheapest and most profitable to buy.
The best way, however. to get a start
with young geese is to order them be-
fore they are Matched. Have the large
early.hatched specimens selected for
you and delivered early In the fall.
They must be kept at least one year
without much profit, and. two years be-
fore they do their best, but in this
way one knows the age of the flock
and in the end will be likely to get
much better results.
Two geese are usually sufficient for
one gander, and they often do better
in pairs during the breeding season.
The breeding season begins usually
about Feb. LIST, but sometimes one
will begin to lay as early as Decem-
Der, then stop, and begin again In
February. They usually lay from ID
to 20 eggs before becoming broody.

Geese are probably the hardest Of
Ill 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 a pas
ture for other stock. Cattle or sheep
do not like to Craze after geese have
gone I'VE 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
ter returns than most other farm
poultry. but If you do not understand
their nature and do not know how to
care for them, they are often the
least profitable.
BY nature geese are more like cat
