dition to other poultry and allow them
the freedom of the farm; but when goose
raising is to be more extensively engaged
in, the African goose is to be especially
recommended 1t Is the quickest to ma
ture, most prolific, and the easiest to
handle of all the varieties.
Mating and Setting.
In breeding African geese, mate two
geese to one gander, and it will be still
better if pairs are used to secure greater
fertility of the eggs. Those who con-
template raising geese should secure
their stock in the fall so that the birds
NAV become accustomed to the place be-
fore the breeding season begins. The
breeding stock should be at least two
wears old and fully matured birds. When
stock is purchased in tn efall, they should
be turned out in pasture, and no other
food than what they gather themselves
will be needed until the grass goes down.
Their rations should then consist Of equal
parts, by measure, of bran, middlings and
corn. Ten per cent of the bulk of the
daily ration should be green foods,
steamed clover and cooked vegetables.
The breeding season begins about Feb
ruary, though some geese will begin lay
ing as early as December. then stop, and
begin again the first of February. They
make their own nests from the straw
and litter on the floor of their houses
and will Law from IL to 20 eggs before be-
an inclination to sit, remove her and
place her in a dark box or small coop,
and keep here there for two or three
days with water for drink, but no food.
Then she may be placed back in the
yards and she will begin another laying
Of eggs. The first and second laying OF
eggs should be set under hens. After the
goose lays the second laying she should
be confined again when she will lay a
third laying When she has laid a third
laying she should be permitted to sit on
them instead of giving them to hens. A
goose will lay from 10 to Is eggs in each
of the second and third layings.
It is recommended that after the eggs
have been sat upon for % days they may
be taken from the nest and placed for
about one minute in water heated to a
temperature of 104 degrees. Thirty days
are required for incubation. After the
egs have Matched leave the hen and
goslings in the nest for "a hours; after
the young have become thoroughly dry
remove hen and brood and pen them in a
large roomy coop for four or five days.
| When the goslings have reached this age,

To fatten young geese. place them in
pen, not too large so that they will not
exercise too much, and feed them three
times a day all they will eat up clean of
the following: Corn meal scraps amount
ing to 20 per cent of the bulk of the corn
meal. While fattening young geese they
should be kept as quiet as possible; no
excitement whatever should disturb
city, and do not irritate them in the least
or they will not fatten, but will throw
OUT or grow another crop of feathers.
At ten weeks of age, or when the tips
of the wings reach the tail, they are
ready for market and should weigh be-
tween eight and ten pounds.
When young goslings are to be dressed
for market, they are killed by cutting
them in the roof Of the mouth, severing
the artery, or by stunning them by hit
ting them a quick, sharp blow on the
head The picker uses a box in front of
him about the height of the knee, holding
the feet and wings together; he places
the head of the bird against the knee.
Pick the feathers from the body of the
bird, then dampen the right hand and
brush the body to remove the down.
Leave about two inches of feathers on
the neck and also on the wings at the
first joint. Lay the wings against the
body of the birds and tie a string around
them to hold in position. Place the birds,
when picked, in cold water for an hour
! or so to plump them; If they are in the
water too long they are liable to bleach
and become water soaked. They are
then iced up in barrels to ship to mar
ket.
Young geese should be marketed in
October. 1t is best to market all possible
before the cold weather sets in. 1t is
much harder to dress a gosling in cold
weather. The feathers set tighter and in
picking them the flesh is torn.
With the price of all kinds Of poultry
and meats soaring upward, the raising of
geese is becoming very profitable, mas
much as the cost OF production per pound
is less than with any other variety of
noultry

One year ago Mrs. John Williams of

applied to a charity organization to
adopt a baby, a country boy preferred.
