ever, which begins in February, great 
care must he taken to gather the eggs 
often, .so they will not get chilled on Cold 
days. Make the nests near the ground in 
tlie house where they stay at night, and 
lirovide a separate nest for each goose, so 
there will he no confusion when setting 
them. (Jees(> will breed best on pasture 
with free access to running watm*. They 
are great scavengers, and during the Sum¬

II<‘n-!iateh('d chicks of the American

to hatch the Leghorns, a.*! good strains 
of Leghorn.s ar*' not to be depended on 
for anything beyond laying eggs. Years ' 
ago one of our customers asked I*rof. 
llic(* if he could let her have a hen- 
hatched broiler, and assured him they 
ta.sted better than incubator chickens.
