Geese Need Lltttlo Feed Outside of
(Prepared by the United States Department
' of Agriculture.)
During; the holldny season, when
the unctuous goose graces the largest
available platter, Is the time to think
of the advisability of growing a bunch
of these prolltable birds for the tables
that will be spread for hungry fam
ilies another year. The goose pop
ulation In the United States has been
on the decline In recent years, but
the United States Department or Ag
riculture expresses the opinion that
there arc mnny farms on which n few
enn he raised on pasture and other
feed that will scarcely be missed. Al
though tile demand for feathers Is not
what It once was, and the eggs are
not In demand for cooking, these birds
arc worth while ns producers of de
licious meat, .The objection has been
raised that the meat Is too oily, but
this condition Is largely due to Im
proper cooking, to failure to remove
the 3iirplus fat of the abdominal cav
ity, and to not skimming off the grease
while cooking.
Gr?ss Furnishes Bulk of Feed.
Where there Is low, rough pasture
land with a natural supply of wnter,
geese can be raised at a profit. They
are generally quite free from disease
und all Insect pests, but they arc oc
casionally affected by the diseases
common to poultry. Grass makes up
the bulk of the feed and it is doubt
ful whether It pays to raise them if
good grass range Is not available. A
body of water where they can swim
is considered essential during the
breeding season and Is n good thing
during the rest of the year.
The market Is not so general as for
chickens, but the demand and the
price are unusually good In localities
where goose fattening Is conducted
on a huge scale. However, n few
geese are desirable on many farms
whetc there Is no such market. Ex
cept In winter and during stormy
weather, mature geese have little need,
for n house. Urceders In the North,
and some In the South, use n shed
open to the south ns a protection In
winter. Coops, barrels or other shel
ter are needed by goslings. The
houses may he kept clean by supply
ing plenty of straw for bedding.
From 4 to 125 geese may be pastured
on an acre of land, the number depend
ing upon the quality of -the pasture.
Ten geese to the acre Is a fair aver
age. Free range should be used
wheroyer possible. In'the South mnny
people use geese to help In keeping
down the weeds In the cotton fields.
Along nbout the first of February
gecso should get a ration suitable
for egg production so thnt goslings
mny he hatched at nbout the time the
first pnsture Is available. Nests lnay
he made on the floor of the house, or
In largo boxes, barrels or other shel
ters. It Is desirable to collect the
eggs dnlly and to keep them In a cool
place where the contents will not
evaporate too rapidly; If kept for
somo time they mny be stored In loose
bran.
The first eggs are usually set un
der hens, while the last ones the
goose lays may he hatched either un
der hens or under the goose If she
goes broody. If the eggs arc not re
moved from the nest where she Is
laying she will usually stop laying
sooner than If they nro tuken nwny
dully. The sitters may be broken up
If they are confined to n slat-bottom
coop, with water to drink hut no feed,
for two to four days.,
Some breeders prefer to raise all the
goslings with hens, as geese sometimes
become difficult to manage when nl
lowod to hntch and rear their young.
Hens used for hntchlng goose eggs
must be dusted with Insect powder
and have good attention ns the period
of Incubation for goose eggs Is longer
than for chicken eggs. Goose eggs
may he hatched in Incubators and
the gosling raised In brooders, but this
Is not a common practice.
From 28 to 30 days are required to
hntch gtiosc eggs. Moisture should be
itddotl after the first week If the eggs
ure set under hens or In Incubators,
warm water being sprinkled on the
eggs or the nest. Incubators should
bo run at temperature of 101.5 to
102.5 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 1
degrees lower than for hens' eggs,
and the eggs should be cooled longer.
Four to six eggs are put under a hen
nnd 10 to 13 under n goose. They
may be tested about, .the tenth day,
ami those (lint are Infertile or con
tain dead germs should bo removed.
Goosu eggs hatch slowly, especially
under hens, nnd the goslings are re
moved as soon ns hatched and kept
In a warm place until the hatching
Is over, when they are put back under
the, hen or goose.
After (ho eggs are all hatched some
breeders give nil the goslings to the
gecse. Hens with goslings r,ny bo
kept In coops nnd their chn4ges al
lowed to rnngo, but they arc not al
Pasture During Greater Part of Year.
lowed to go Into the water until sev
eral days old. In mild weather they
will bo able to look after themselves
when seven to ten days old. Coops
with board floors are desirable for
goslings and they should be protected
from their enemies nnd looked after
in case they get lost In their wander
ings about the furm.
Feeding the Young Birds.
Goslings do not feed until they are
21 to 30 hours old, when they mny bo
fed any of the mashes recommended
for chickens or for ducklings, or n
mash or dough of two-thirds shorts
or middlings and oncthlrd corn menl,
which after six weeks may be made
equal parts shorts and corn meal and
5 per cent beef scrap. Bread and milk
Is nlso an excellent feed for goslings.
Fine grit Is needed nnd may bo pro
vided by using 5 per cent of sharp
sand In the mash, or by keeping It
before them In u hopper.
If goslings are to be fattened give
them a ration of one-third shorts nnd
two-thirds corn menl by weight, with
5 per cent of beef scrap added, and
a feed of corn nt night.
In February, when the feeding for
eggs Is begun, a ration made up of one.
pound of corn menl, one of bran, one
of middlings or low-grade Hour, and
10 per cent of beef scrap, which Is fed
In the morning, nnd equal parts of
corn and wheat, or corn alone, fed
at night, will produce good results.
Grit nnd oyster shell mny be pro
vided at all times, but they are es
sential during the laying period. In
winter nnd nt other times when there
is no good pnsture available, geese
may he given roughages such ns cut
clover, hay, alfalfa, silage, cabbage,
mangels, or any waste vegetables.
PEAS REQUIRE MUCH SPACE
Smooth Varieties May Be Sown Early
or as Soon as Ground Is In
Shape to Work.
Peas are not adapted to growing
in very small gardens, us they require
much space. Most gardeners, how
ever, Insist upon having a few short
rows of pens In their gardens. In
large gardens enough peas should bo
planted to provide surplus for can
ning. The smooth varieties may be
sown very early or Justus soon ns the
ground Is In shape to work In the
spring. The wrinkled vnrletles should
not be sown until the iground has
wormed slightly. Some of the dwarf
vnrletles can be grown without sup
ports, hut the lnrger growing sorts re
quire brush, a wire trellis or some
form of support. The old-fushloned
English sugar pea on good soil will
grow to n height of 5 or 0 feet und
produce pens until midsummer. It
should be borne In mind that under
ordinary conditions peas do not with
stand great heat, and that -they must
produce their crop before mtdsummer.

WOOD ASHES MOST VALUABLE
Those Produced by Burning Hard
woods Like Hickory or Oak Con
tain Much Potash.
The use of coal ashes Is permissible
on heavy clay soils. However, they
should he screened nnd nil coarse cin
ders removed before being applied, and
then should be sprend evenly over the
surface and thoroughly mixed with the
soil as deep as It Is plowed or spaded.
Coal ashes have little value as ferti
lizer, their use being mainly to loosen
the soil nnd make It more workable.
Wood ashes, especially those produced
by burning hardwoods like hickory,
mnplo, or onk, frequently contnin as
high as 7 per cent potash, and are val
uable fertilizers. Those produced from
burning soft woods, such ns pine, and
nlso hardwood ashes that have been
exposed to the weather, have compara
tively little value as fertilizer. About
50 pounds of dry, unbleached hard
wood ashes may bo applied to a plot
of ground 80 by CO feet In size, hut
should be well mixed with the soil.

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best
Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that aft ex

reason is plain the. article did not fulfill
the promises of tho manufacturer. This
applies moro particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
in endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Boot, n
preparation I have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it bIiows excellent re
sults, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
sale."
According to sworn statements arid
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of Dr.
Kilmer's Swamp-Boot is duo to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulfills al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri
nary troubles and neutralizes the urio
acid which causes rheumatism.
