ItIOaTEY TN GOOSE FARMING.
The breeding and growing of geese
on a large male for market and egg
purposes could uadoubtedly be made
profitable if handled in a tweet:teat
manner. It would be necessary to
havo a form range with plenty of
pasture and sufficient water for the
birds, It would not be necessary to
have a small lake, as spring water or
pond water is sufficient, Geese as
a rule do not require much grain as
the young feed almost entirely on
pasture.
Our best goslings are groWn to
about five montha' of age with less
than one peck at. grain each: After
that age, if good weights are desired,

To oiataln the .best results in Match-
ing it is necessary to use common bens
to hatch and care for the young gos-
lings. AStoy the goslings are eight
weeks old they may be safely turned
in the Gelds with the old geese. The
youtag goslinese atter a week old
would have free access to plenty of
fresh, green grass,. when no graiu
food will he requtred. The young;
goslings are very rapid growers, and
at eight weeks old will be over one-
half grenvn if properlY cared for.
Considerable revenue may be ' ob-
tained from the feathers by picking
the mature specimens SOMS four or
five tiraos during the spring and sum-
mer monthn, and early goslings may
also be picked during the latter part
or August and again in October, pro-
vided they are noL being fattened for
market. It would not be necessary
to secure the best farming land for
geese raising; on th,e other litied, geese
would thrive much better in mow,
marshy land which had not been un-
der -drained. If property handled
there is no reason why this industry
should not prove a financial euecess.
CARB OF THE APPLE ORCHARD:
Keep the ground stirred about 1 he
trees by using the garden rake after
rains heavy eaough to peck the
ground. This will conserve ilia inoi.s-
tura and Ls better than any 7n11103
that can be ap.plied, and the trees
will take deeper root. If weeds or
trash of any kind have aceumulated
about the trees, clear away oo tiover
up tn the fall with teal, milking a lit-
tle raound to prevent a harbor for
mice. Remove it in the timing.
There are several reasons why the
young orthord ehould be plotted to
corn. The cultivation of Cern IS the
