Raising Geese Profitable 117 



guard you and your home from invasion by an enemy. The wonder 

 to me is that everybody with a little spare land does not keep a few 

 geese. They will furnish the family with the choicest meat it is 

 possible to get at the lowest cost and the feathers will sell for from 

 twelve to fifteen cents a pound for colored and twenty-five to thirty 

 cents for white feathers. 



Old geese have a disease called "rattles" that is akin to roup in 

 chickens. Give a little physic like salts in the mash and keep clean.
