BREEDING STOCK
VERY IMPORTANT
Essential Feature in Making
Start in Goose Industry Is
Proper Foundation.
GRASS Their NATURAL FOOD
Graln-Fed Fowls Are loafers, Poor
Layers and Eggs Are lnfertile-
Glover Hay or Alfalfa Is Best
Feed for Winter.

In starting In the goose industry 1t
is important to get the right kind of
parent stock. The essential feature is
to get breeding stock from someone
who has raised his flock almost entire
ly on grass. Grass is the natural food
for geese, also cheapest. If you buy
grass-raised geese they will be active
and alert for such food, and Will prove
good layers of fertile, strOng-germed
eggs. If you get granted stock you
will have a lot of loafers that are lazy
and sluggish, that will prove to be poor
layers, and a large percentage of their
eggs will be infertile.
Sest Winter Fed.
Breeding geese should be wlntered
on clover hay or alfalfa, with a very
little grain In the coolest weather. If
you have some coarse vegetables, such
as mangels, rutabagas or Swedish tur-
nips, you need not give them any grain.
After they begin to lay, which should
be from February II to 20, you can
mix bran or shorts with cooked veg
etables to good advantage. This ration
will help in egg production, but need
not be continued after grass starts.
The goslingS will need no other feed
If they can have grass. If at any time
you do have to feed them something
else, use hard boiled eggs, or bread
squeezed out of boiled milk. Corn
bread is better than wheat bread.
Start them on grass when possible and
continue them so, and you will usually
raise all your hatch.
Breeding Stock.
Old females from three to twelve
years old are best for breeding, though
it is advisable TO use young ganders
from two to five years of age.
Select those that have a large frame
and are broad across the back. Get
them mated before the middle of Zebra
airy or earlier. Do not attempt to give
more than two females TO one male.
1t is better, though not absolutely nee
essary, to have each mating yarded
separately during breeding season, as
they are inclined to fight. Set the first
dozen or thirty eggs under gOod-sized
hens, four or five to the hen. You can
let the goose set on her second or third
laying. Frequently the third or fourth

to work, 1t does not gather under the

teeth, as it does when applied in the
spring.
/ think, and a large part of the best
farmers think, that the fresher manure
is applied the more valuable il is, for
when it is placed in a large heap to
rot, part of it will be almost useless
by the time all of the heap is rotted.
The reason why some of 1t is spoiled
Is this: The large heap generates so
much heat that the bottom and middle
Of the heap Is burned until there Is
very little fertilizing matter left in it.
Manure, properly applied, we all
know, is very beneficial to the soil,
inaSmuch as It supplies much of the
lost fertility, but manure can be so
applied, as to be an injury instead
Of a benefit.
Always try to apply your coarse
manure to clay soils, as they need some
thing TO keep them porous, as well as
to fertilize them.
Do not apply coarse manure to
loamy soil, as it keeps it too open and
it will consequently dry out.
For two years we have applied, as
soon as the ground froze, q light coat

1t keeps the snow from being all

INBREEDING VERY INJURIOUS
Best Plan to introduce New Tom Of
Unrelated Blood Each Year in
Turkey r ock.

Inbreeding of turkeys Is very harm
full, resulting In loss of vigor and vi

tom of unrelated blood, but of the
same type and s~necies, is necessary.
Nothing Is gained by cross breeding
and much is lost. as 1t soon reduces
