100 eggs apiece.
Meat scrap is not produced on most
farms. and has to be bought at a
higher price than grain. 1t produces
eggs, though, several cents dozen
cheaper than where no meat scrap is
used Milk products or fish give as
good results as meat in increasing egg

GEESE ARE QUITE PECULIAR
Fowls Are Partial to Their Mates and
Il Is Not Best to Separate Them
Each Year.

Unlike other farm poultry, geese are
partial to their mates and ii Is best
not to try to separate them each year.
An old gander is not a good breeder
and he ought not to be kept more than
three or four years. On the otner
hand. the older females lay more eggs
than do young ones and as rule the
eggs are more fertile. Females may
be kept for eight or ten years or even
longer.
