used for Matching goose eggs must be
busted with insect powder and have
good attention, as, In the case Of
geese, the period of incubation is long
er than in that of fowls. Goose
eggs may be Matched In incubators
and the goslings successfully raised In
brooders, although this is not a COM
mon practice.
The period Of incubation Of goose
eggs varies from % to 80 days. Mois-
ture should be added 10 the eggs aft
err the first week if set under hens OF
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 10 to 10 under
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
and kept in warm place until the
process is 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
confined to the coop and the goslings
allowed to range. The latter, espe-
cially if the weather is 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 goslings for from seven to ten days
when the latter are able to take care
of themselves. Good-sized growing
coops, with board floors, should be pro
vided for the goslings, and they must
be protected from their enemies, and
given some attention when on range

Preparing Geese for Market.

Before marketing the young geese
the average farmer can feed advan-
tageously a fattening ration either
while the geese are on grass range or
confined to small yards, but it Is
doubtful whether 1t would pay him
to confine them to individual or small
pens and make a speciality of fatten-
ing unless he has a special market or
retail trade for well-fattened stock.
Geese are usually killed and picked
In the same manner as other kinds of
poultry. Some markets prefer dry
picked geese, while In other markets
no difference Is made IN the price Of
scalded or dry-picked geese. When
feathers are to be saved fowls should
not be scalded, but should be picked
dry before or after steaming. On most
farms where geese are raised the
feathers are plucked from the live
fowls at some time prior to melting.
About one and one-tenth pounds per
goose is the average yield of feathers.
Feathers are worth from 30 cents to 81
a pound, and the picking cost per goose
is about IL cents.
