Goose meat is andu nutritious and palatable and not ene greasy when properly cooked, and an stif extension of goose raising in the re- mi> gions of cheap land where pasturage stuf is abundant is a suggested source of cheaper meat. Geese are raisel chiefly in the South and Middle West, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas being the chief supply sources. Dur ing the decade ending in 1910, the to tal number of geese declined 22 per cent, largely because of the lack of cheap pastures and the limited de mand for goose feathers and goose flesh. Thousands of acres of native grass throughout the South and some parts of the Midle West are qualified for geese raising operations and should, if possible, add this branch of poultrying to their activities. This is the opinion of United States De partment of Agriculture specialists. The Toulouse, Embden, Chinese, sind A frican are the most popular Amterican breeds of geese, the first two greatly leading the others. Oc casionally the eggs are used for cooking, but generally sgeese are kept only for mleat antd feather prodluction. Practically all the geese ml thlis coon try atre raised inl small flocks on gen eral farmls, some 1d mnimakinlg a sp~ee ialty of collecting large nutmbers of "zIe andi fattening them for a few wt eks before they are killed. As grass makes up thle bulk of feed for gerese, it is doubtful whether .t pays to raise thema unless good grass range is atvaihz.ble diuring the. sumlmer. A pool (of water for ba5th ing and recrea ti onal purtpose's is also a dlesirtable fe-tture. The martt for geese is not so genl erlas for (chickens.

The dlemlandl and the price paid for geese are usually good inl sections where goose afttening is conducted en a large scale. Geeare Rugged and tiardy Geese are hlardly birds and need shtelter only in winter or stormy weath er. An open shed or an old barn us ually is satisfactory for thlis purpose. From 4 to 25 geese may be kept on an acre of land, although undler most con ditions 10 is a fair average. Whler ever possible the geese should have free range during the grass season. Southern plantation o'wners keep geese to kill the weedls ini the cotton fields. Geese are ferd a ration to produce eggs (luring the latter part of the winter so thlat the goslings will be hatched by the time there is good grass pasture, The eggs may be hatched by either hens or geese.

The material is fed warm, and after cooking the pieces are dipped in cold water to keel, them from sticking together. An other method is to confine the geese in large pens under a stied for from three to five weeks and keep whole corn in hoppers before them all the time, using oat straw for bedding, as this material is a good source of South pluck the feathers from the roughage, particularly where corn silage is used as a supplement. Nearly all breeders of geese in the live geese at some time prior to molt ing. Sonme pick every six weeks dur ing the spring, summer and early fall, while others pick only once or twice a year. "Feathers are ripe for picking when the quills appear dry and do0 not contain blood. The average yearly production of feathers of geese is about 1.1 poundl. The demand for goose feathers and the practice of plucking geese appear to be dlecreas ing, attention being concentratedl on the production of young geese for market. ---0 WILLIAMSBUIWG COUNTY FAIR TO OPEN Kingstree, Nov. 3.-The Williams burg county fair will open its gates at 9:30 o'clock tomorrow morn ing.
