PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Many Farm FIocks Would Pay Hand
somely If Proper Attention Paid
to Fattening of Fowls.

There are many reasons why geese
and ducks are not more popular table
fowls than they are, but the chief rea-
son is that they are so poorly fitted
for the market
Many a farm flock of ducks and
geese would pay more handsome
profit if some attention was paid to
the fattening of it.
First, young duck or goose must
be had for fattening. Stock that is
TOO old is not sweet and tender as 1t
should be. One cannot build up q
reputation by selling it.
Old stock, If less than three or four
seasons of age, is better for breeding
purposes than for market.
Youngsters Matched from the eggs OF
gearling and two-year-old ducks, and
geese are the most vigorous.

MoLDY slLAGE is HARMFUL
Complaints Made That Farmers Lose
Horses and Mules-carefuIiy
Avoid All Spoiled Stuff.

Every winter farmers complain of
losing horses or mules by feeding
spoiled silage. Damaged or moldy
silage is not first-ciass feed for any
animal. Even cattle should be fed
carefully, but the greatest care should
be exercised with horses and colts.
See that no mohy stuff gets into their
feed boxes and that none is left
there from one feed to another to
spoil.
Good silage does not hurt horses,
but remember the mold that some
times occurs in spots may kill them
at any time.
