Geese must have freedom to thrive
well
Pure breeds are always to be pre-
ferred to crosses.
For best results, all changes in ma
ting should be made in the fall
Geese are usually hardy and subject
to no particular disease.
Keep the stock gentle and tame, and
they will turn in more profit
Two or three year old geese are
more profitable than yearlings.
A mating can be continued for seven
or eight years without change.
If the geese have confidence in the
feeder they will be very friendly with
him.

Lettuce or dandelions make a very
good green feed for laying hens or

Both are easily grown and furnish

Shelter should be provided where
the geese may go during inclement
weather, and especially at night.
In handling geese they should al
ways be taken by the neck, and when
lifted from the ground the body
should be turned with back toward the
person handling it. In that position it
cannot strike, and will remain quiet

supported by seizing the first joint

matter. Most women have so little
idea of business methods. A course in
household accounts trains girl in the
significance of expanding money. She
learns how to buy material and food to
the greatest advantage both to herself
and the pocket book.
There is no reason why the rural
schools which are or should be eagar to
have some work iE Domestic Science
and yet feel that the expense of equip
ment is beyond their means, can not
accomplish this work. For the Crete
System, so called because it first orig
mated in Crete, Nebraska has already
been tried out for eight years and prov
ing very successful. The idea is as
follows:
Secure the cooperation of ten or
twelve capable and suitable women
whom you would like to have the pupils
learn something from. and into whose
homes you would like to have them go
lOI al ODJCGL lSoSOIl III IlOuSt-h GCpIIlS.
Suppose there are fifty girls who
elect to work and ten women who
volunteer to teach them, the. girls are
then divided into five groups a class
visiting each teachers home once a
month and each instructor giving lessons
during the year upon two kinds of
articles. Mrs. A. for example is to meet
her girls Immediately after school on
the third Wednesday Of the month and
teach them first how to make mullins
and biscuits; or soups with salads as
the second article. The girls go to her
home directly from school with their
note books, and are arranged about a
table in her dining room or kitchen
while she gives her explanations and
demonstrates before them. Then they
60 to their own homes and practice
making the article.
While the pupil is taking notes and
getting her lesson she unconsciously
receives many lessons about housekeep,
ing in general. She observes the home
she enters, the tastefulness of the fur
niture and draperies, the good manners
of the lady of the house. kitchen con-
veniences, etc. By the time pupil has
finished her course with the ten ladies'
her ideas of the kind of home she wants
for herself have become broadened.
1t also raises the dignity of house
keeping in the minds of the girls to find
these prominent women of the town or
village so interested as to give instruc-
lions about these everyday affairs.
| have merely given you the plan of
the work without going into details,
simply to show how this work can be
put into the rural schools.
1t is hoped that in few years every
school regardless of size shall take up
Domestic Science using a system best
suited for its conditions.
