PREPARE GEESE FOR MARKET
Use Slender-Bladed Sharp Knife, Max,

When the birds are thoroughly fat
and plump, geese may be killed in the
following manner: Hang by the feet,

roof Of the mouth. The cut should be
made well back in order to induce free

will be about 4 inches above the water.
Pour into the barrel boiling water un-
til it comes within about an inch of the
platform. Lay the goose on the plat
form, cover the barrel tightly with
heavy piece of carpet or cloth and al
low it to steam for five or six minutes.

OPEN LETTER TO PAR
ISH SUPT. AND FARM
DEMONSTRATORS.
CONTINUED from page !


One of the features of tll(work
that We desire especially to stress
this year is a systematic course Of
reading to be completed with each
club project, under the direction Of
the Demonstration Agent and the To-
cal teacher. The various contests
in corn growing, canning, pig rails
ing and poultry raising should be
educational in their efforts to win
the prizes which at best can be won
by only a few OF the contestants.
Let US develop in the mind Of each
contestant the thought that he
should do this work for self improve
ment and the good that viii result
to him rather than that Of striving
only for prize. With the educa-
tional idea strongly in view you can
encourage the contestants to make
their plans to carry on this work IN
q practical way for three or four
years, and thus make the club or
ganization more or less permanent.
In order to make such plan
more feasible we have arranged to
have Mr.. John w. Wilkinson. State
