year to year unless they prove unsat-

louise and Emden geese will breed
when about two years old. The females
are usually kept until they are from
twelve to fourteen years old, or as
long as they lay well. Sex is difficult
to distinguish, especially In young
geese. The gander is usually some
what larger and coarser than the goose
and has leaner, longer neck, and q
termined by a critical examination or
by the action of the geese at mating
time.
Large boxes, barrels, or shelters are
provided as nests for geese, or they
are allowed to make nests on the floor
of the house. The eggs should be col
lected daily and kept in cool place
The first eggs are usually set under
hens, while the last ones which the
goose lays may be Matched either un
der hens or under the goose If she
'goes broody." If the eggs are no
removed from the nest where th'
goose is laying, she will usually stoI

goose eggs varies from % to 80 days
Moisture may be added after the frs

SUCCESS WITH GEESE
Toulouse and Emden Are the
Most Popular Breeds.
Low, Rough Pasture Land, Containing
Natural Water Supply VIII Prove
Satisfactory - Demand and
Prices Are Good.

The Toulouse and Emden are the
most popular breeds Of geese in this
country. The Toulouse is the largest
breed. the adult gander and goose
weighing 25 and 20 pounds, respective
ly, while the standard weights Of the
Elnden are 20 and Is pounds.
Geese can be raised in small num-
bers successfully and at profit on
many farms where there is low, rough
pasture land containing a natural sup
ply Of water. The market for geese is
not so general as for chickens, but the
demand and prices are especially good
in sections where goose fattening is
conducted.
Geese need only house during cold
or stormy weather. when an open shed
should be provided. One gander Il

as the slipping of mule on the steep
incline might be fatal to both rider
and animal.
get Out II You Cam"
At Sal-si-puede ("get out if you
can")-there were many places to
which this name was applicable-we
had to dig or cut out track along the
face of cliff where a slide had &C.
CURED, to make room for the pack ami
mails to pass. This was not only diff
cult to do on account Of the steep de-
cline and precarious footing; but also
the work had to be very well done be-
cause If the pack of a mule should
catch against the side of the cliff in
transit, the animal would be tipped
over into the River Espirito Santo a
thousand feet below.
From Sal-si-puede onward the mules
waded streams, 1oundered through
mud to their middles and labored over
fallen logs, often on a trail so narrow
and so oyergrown that 1t was neces-
sary constantly to use the machete to
clear the path Of hanging vines and
dense underground. On one occasion
after eight hours of scrambling and
wading through mud and water, Mr..
Cherries mule slipped in a deep pool
of thin mud and became tangled in the
roots at the bottom, pinning the foot
Of the rider under it. Mr.. Cherrie was
held up there deep in the mud until
two mule drivers could return to extri-
cate him.
The advantage of having compact
units of baggage was made evident in
this locality. The tanning OF baggage
tween saplings or in a washed-out
gully would necessitate a halt and
while the load on the mule that had
caused the halt was being recinched,
dozen other mules would start ex'
ploring the neighboring thickets
Sometimes the whole train would be
thrown into confusion and all the pack
animals would have to be rounded VI

TO GET FINE STRAWBERRIES
Some Growers Keep All Runners Cut

Others Use a Disk.

For extra fine strawberries some
growers keep all runners cut off by
hand after September. This is an i'm
possible job on large areas. Better
use Il .Hsk on the sides of the row to
keep the runners cut off after Septem-

when the plants have ceased TO make
