Goose Raising
Not Affected By
High-Priced Grain.

Geese can be raised in small hoeks
on general farms. on pasture or non
productive land, and do not require
any material amount Of grain. Low,
rough pasture land. used for pastur-
ing other stock, and containing a
natural supply of water, offers the
best conditions. Many geese are kept
in the south to kill weeds. especially
in the cotton fields, and, their use
could well be greatly increased for
this purpose. They are good grazers
and will do well on grass and forage
crops aiore, except during the winter
months, when they may be fed largely
on available roughage such as clover,
alfalfa hay. sjiage, cabbage. mangel-
wurzefs, or any waste vegetables. II
the grass or forage is limited it may
be supplemented by light feeds Of
common or homegrown grains
Geese do not need shelter except
during cold winter weather. when open
sheds maybe provided Goslings are
not usually Matched until good pasture
is available, and need additional feed
only for a few weeks, The range Of
pasture used either for goslings or for
geese should be large enough 50 thai
the grass Will remain clean. or the
stock should be moved frequently to
fresh land. Coops, barrels. or some
other dry shelter should be provided
for the Young goSiings. Geese are
very hardy and free from diseases and
insect pests

THE MEADOW.

England we find the best meadows in

land OF great beef cattle. Good mead
ovs and cattle are inseparable.

Summer Care Of
Brood Sows

While brood sows require less at
tention during the summer months
than at any other time of the year
they should not he neglected. Good
pasture. and considerable range for
exercise not only lowers the cost OF
maintenance, but also serves to keep
so~s in healthy condition. The
OF concentrates, fed can be
greatly reduced If the sows have ac-
cess to good pasture such as blue
grass. clover. alfalfa or rape.
Brood sows kept on bluegrass or
clover pasture should receive about
one and one-half pounds Of shelled
corn per head daily. One month be-
fore farroving middlings and tankage
are added to the ration and the
amount fed daily is increased
Proper shade is IN important item in
caring for brood sows. If there are
no trees in the lot a temporary shell
ter may be erected with little or no
expense except the labor involved II
need not be anything more than posts
driven into the ground and covered
with a roof. A good circulation of air
will be provided by shade built with
a sloping roof so that the lower side is
four feet from the ground and the up
per side six feet. The size Of the sha de
will depend on the number Of sosSs
involved. A shade protects from both

that the plant can take il up. In the
animal stomach there are certain d.

that it can be absorbed into the blood

stomach for plants and as the plant
food dissolves in the soil water IT, is
absorbed into the plant juices and
