GOOSE MEAT is NUTRITIOUS
Fowls Will Be Found Profitable in
Regions of Cheap Land and
Abundant Pasturage.

If the goose of the fable was able
to lay a golden egg there is no reason
why her progeny of the present era
cannot repeat this miracle in more
concrete form. Goose meat is nutri-
tious and paatable and not greasy
when properly cooked, and an extern
sion of goose raising in the regions
of cheap land where pasturage is
abundant is a suggested source of
cheaper meat
Geese are raised chiefly in the South
and middle West, Kentucky, Tennes-
see, Missouri and Arkansas being the
chief. supply sources. During the dec
ade ending in 1910 the total number of
geese declined % per cent, largely be-

also a desirable feature.
The market for geese is not so gen.
eral as for chickens. This point should
be considered in undertaking the rails

price paid for geese are usually good
in sections where goose fattening is
conducted on a large scale.
Geese are hardy birds and need shell
