Geese are usually killed and picked
In the same manner as other kinds Of

are to be saved fowls should not be
scalded, but should be picked dry be-

where geese are raised the feathers
are plucked from the live fowls at
some time prior to melting. About one

average yield of feathers. Feathers
are worth from 80 cents to 81 pound,

Goose eggs may be Matched In incuba-
tors and the goslings successfully rails
ed In breeders, although this is not
common practice.
The period Of incubation Of goose
eggs varies from twenty eight to thirty
days. Moisture should be added to the
eggs after the first week If set under
hens or In incubators; this Is usually
done by sprinkling the eggs or the nest
with warm water. -Four to six eggs are
set under hen and ten to thirteen un-
der a goose. They may be tested about
the tenth day, and those which are In
fertile or contain dead germs should
be removed They hatch slowly, espe-
cially under hens, and the goslings are
usually removed as soon as Matched
and kept In warm place until the
process Ia over, when they are put
back under the hen or goose. Some
breeders who hatch with both geese
and hens give all the goslings to the
geese. Hens with goslings may be con-
fined to the coop and the goslings al
lowed to range. The latter. especially
II the weather IL cold, are not usually
allowed to go into water until they
are several days old. In mild weather
the hens are allowed to brood the Cos
nngs for from seven to ten days, when
the latter are able to take care Of them
selves. Good sized growing coops, with
board floors, should be provided for the
goelings, and they must be protected
from their enemies and given some at
tention when on range.
Feeding the Geese and 0oslings.
Geese are generally raised where
they have a good grass range or pas
ture, as they are good grazers, and ex-
cept during the winter months usually
pick up most of their living. The pas
ture may be supplemented with light
feeds Of the common or home grown
grains or wet mash daily, the neces-
sity and quantity of this feed depend
ing on the pasture. Goslings do not
need feed until they are twenty-four
to thirty-six hours old, when they
should be fed any of the mashes
recommended for chickens or duck
nngs.
Preparation For Market.
Before marketing the young geese the
average farmer can feed advanta geous-
ly fattening ration either while the
geese are on grass range or confined
to small yards, but it is doubtful

A GREAT PREHISTORIC SEA.
IL Reached From the Gulf of Mexico
Far Up Into New York. n

IL Reached From the Gulf of Mexico
Far Up Into New York.
A prehistoric sea or arm of the ocean
which extended from the gulf of Mex
leo far up into New York state is de
scribed by the United States geological
survey in reporting to a correspondent
on rock sample:
'"The rock was formed very long ago,
many millions years ago, In what ge-
Olog1sts call the Devonian period. At
that time large part of the eastern
United States was occupied by an
arm of the sea which extended north
eastward from the gulf of Mexico re-
g1on into New York state. The east
ern shore of the sea was not far east
of the present line of the Blue Ridge
and the Highlands of New Jersey and
southeastern New York, and still far
Their east lay a great continent which
extended an unknown distance into
the area now occupied by the north
Atlantic. The northern shore of the
sea was somewhere near q line drawn
from Albany through Syracuse, Roch-
ester and Buffalo. The present site
Of the Catskills was thus near the
northeast end or head of this sea or
gulf, with land not far away on the
east and north.
The sea teemed with life, almost
wholly invertebrate animals, and ma
rine plants, and the larger part Of the
life appears to have inhabited the sea
bottom. Brachiopods, though rare now,
were very abundant then, and many
other forms of animals crawled about
or grew upon the sea floor. AS the
streams washed In sand and mud from
the neighboring lands the sea grad
ually filed up, and the shells of many
brachiopods and other shell bearing
animals were thus buried in the sand
and their forms preserved till now.
BY slow upward movement of the
earth's crust the sea was drained from
the region, and the beds of sand and
mud that had been hardened into sand
stone and shale were lifted thousands
of feet above sea level to form a great
new land. The Catskill mountains
have since been carved from this up
lifted mass of rock through the cut
ting Of valleys by the streams"

good grass range Is available. A body
sidered essential during the breeding
season and is good feature during the
rest Of the year. The market for geese
Is not so general as for chickens. This
should be considered In undertaking
the raising of geese. The demand and
the price paid for geese are usually
good in sections where goose fattening
Is conducted on large scale. Many
geese are kept In the south for the pro-
duction Of feathers rather than for
their flesh, but the demand for their
feathers is not so good as it has been,
making the business less profitable.
Wherever possible, the geese ON farm
should have free range. Many farmers
In the south keep them to kill the weeds
In the cotton fields.
Houses.
Except In winter or during stormy
weather, when some protection should
be provided, mature geese do not
usually need q house. Some kind of
shelter, such as a shed open on the
south side, poultry house or a barn,
is usually provided by breeders In the
north and is used by many In the south.
Coops, barrels or some other dry shell
ter should be provided for young COS
hngs. The goose houses should be kept
clean and plenty Of clean straw proyid-
ed for the floor.
Selecting and Mating.
Geese, like other kinds of poultry,
should be selected for size, prolihcacy
and vitality. They should be mated
several months prior to the breeding
season to obtain the best results.
Therefore breeding stock should be
bought In the fall. Goose matings are
not changed from year to year unless
the results are unsatisfactory. A gan
der may be mated with from one to
four geese, but pair or trio matings
usually give the best results. The wild
gander usually mates with only one
goose. When mated, geese are allow
twenty-five geese may be kept on an
acre Of land, and under most condi-
lions ten is a fair average.
Incubation.
Geese are fed a ration to produce
eggs during the latter part OF the win
ter or SO that the goslings win be
Matched by the time there is good grass
pasture. They are allowed to make
nests on the floor of the house, or large
boxes barrels or shelters are provided
for that purpose. The eggs should be
collected daily and kept in a cool place
where the contents will not evaporate
too freely. If kept for some time they
may be stored in loose bran. The first
eggs are usually set under hens, while
the last ones which the goose lays may
be Matched either under hens or under
the goose If she is broOdy. If the eggs
are not removed from the nest In which
the goose is laying she will usually
stop laying sooner than If they are TAX
en- away. Some breeders prefer to
raise all the goslings under hens, as
geese sometimes become difficult to
manage when allowed to hatch and
rear their young. Hens used for hatch
ing goose eggs must be busted with In
sect powder and have good attention,
as in the case of geese the period of in
cubation is longer than in that of fowls

Crosses Of the varieties Of geese,
especially Of the Toulouse and Embden,
are occasionally made, but without any
apparent gain. The Toulouse, Embden,
Chinese and African are easily the
most popular breeds Of geese In this
country, the first two greatly leading
the other breeds. ALI economic breeds
Of geese are kept primarily for the PRO
ductton Of flesh and feathers, and al
though their eggs are occasionally used
for culinary purposes on the farm
there is no demand for them for food
purposes IN the markets.
The Egyptian goose is small, bright
