THE COMING
CITIZEN
:, ( The Farm Goose Business.
A small flock of geese on the farm
1 can be made a profit -maker if there is
plenty of range acrd some member of
the family is sufficiently interested
in the birds to help the goslings to
make a good start. Farmers that wish
to enlarge their business in geese be-
yond the stage of the "small flock"
should !be very careful not to .attempt
too much and become overstocked. The
ganders are apt to fight if they are
near together on a small range and
if the range is overcrowded it will
not begood foranyof the birds. .
Geese require attention in the
spring and they should not be allowed
to steal their nests. The first eggs
produced can be hatched under hens
and when the goose conies to the end
of her laying period she can be given
'some eggs and allowed to set. •
The goslings are tender at first and
should be confined on a limited range
where they can be fed and protected
when serious storms arrive. Sufficient

Hawks will occasionally kill the awk-

The general farmer will find the
goose business the most profitable if
the flack is limited and quality is em-
phasized. Then there will be chances
to sell bath 'hatching eggs and breed-
ing stock and the maximum profit per

Rules for Clean Milk.
Any dairyman can , produce clean
milk with small investment and ' a
little extra care. This was proved by•
experiments made in a poor dairy
barn, to determine the expense of pro-
ducing milk with a low bacterial count.
The only changes made were-'

1,7 i_c�;l at the
sewing,y
All of the older women of to -day
can remember when it was almost
i,he universal boast of women in gen-
eral that they knew nothing about
1,as'iiiess; business was the necessary
ere which took husbands and sweet-
hearts away from the fireside and was
ser tithing about which the feminine
v 'r1d not only need not but should
no. bother its "pretty head." -
Iie the tremendous change which has
come to woman's world in this respect,
the farm woman has had something of
an advantage. While the city hus-
bands and sweethearts kept their busi-
ness affairs in that vague place called
„
women

town," o
lived with the world of their affairs
right in the home, and whether it was
fashionable or not, girls and boys
grew up within sight and sound and
touch of the economic mill that
ground out their support, - and while
it was Johnny who most often went
to town when the pigs were sold,
Mary knew as much as Johnny of the
history of the pigs and made it her
business to know as much as he eon -
earning the cash returns.
When the great turn -over came and
women entered upon the duties of
citizens even to the extent of voting
equally with their husbands, once
again the farm woman was ready, for
she long had had a sturdy participa-
tion, at least by interest, in rural af-
fairs that had close bearing upon the
management of the farm business .in
which her hand bore so great a share.
This spring season of 1921 finds the
lam woman far along the road of
business adventure and ability for
economic independence. More and
more she is proving her ability to
think things out and see things
through. She is managing large poul-
try businesses, dairy interests, garden
;and canning projects; her provincial
and county fair exhibits grow it
