Items That Are Well Worth Remem- bering By Raisers. The goose should be chosen for her weight of body, steadiness of deport- ment and breadth of foot—a quality which indicates the presence of other excellences. In one season the goose usually lays from ten to-twenty esgs: and, should she not be desired to sit, by removing the eggs as fast as she tays them and at the same time feed- ing her highly, she may be induced to continue laying to_ the number of forty-five or even fifty. This is. how- ever, unusual as well as unprofitable. When tolerably well looked _after, geese may be made to lay, and even hatch, three times in a:yvear. -When this 13 desired, the plan to pursue is to feed them highly, house them well, and set them early in the spring so as to have the first brood early In Match; but it would be better to have two good clutches reared than three bad ones. The beginning of the goose’s laying may be known by noticing her run- ning from one place to another, carry- ing straws in her mouth. This is done for the purpose of forming a nest, at which time she should be watched or she may drop her eges Where they cannot readily be found. en a goose lays her first egg in any particular nest, no further trouble need be feared, for she will codtinue to lay in that spot and will not be likely to stray elsewhere. Geose should be confined as little as possible, as they need pienty of room to walk about. While it is not strict- 1y necessary fo have a pond or other water for them to swim in, bathing is very beneficial in keeping them clean and in affording exercise to prevent overfattening. When geese are within range of water and are suffered to roam at large, they usually discover it and daily resort to it afterward. But notwithstanding their fondness for water their slecping places must be kept dry. Geese are gragers, and grass is as necessary to them as water: the rankest, coarset grass, such as the cattle would reject, seems to be their cholce. They are partial to such grasses as are found on swampy lands of which, perhaps, no mért profitable use could be made. They likewise enjoy & range in the stubble-field where they can find young grass and herbage springing up amongst _the - stubble, and where considerable corn gan be ‘picked up that otherwise would ost. Geese are naturally hardy and not subject to disease. Richardson, a celebrated CALL UP 734 Without Gas Attach- EFFICIENT A. J. Wholey & Co. 12 FERRY STREET ‘Robert J.
