The Toulouse is the giant of the
geese family. It is a native of France.
Its ordinary weight Is from 15 to 20
pounds, but It is not uncommon to
find specimens weighing from 25 to 30
pounds. This is the typical gray goose,
but beneath and behind these body
feathers are white areas in the plu- |
mage.
It Is said by those who have had
experience with this breed that young
geese during the first year lay from
15 to 25 eggs, when older they may
lay from 25 to 40.
The Emden is a popular breed in
some places. The bodies of the birds
are snowy white, the legs and bills
yellow. They, have good type and
conformation. In size It Is the same
as standard for the Toulouse, though
It is said a smaller number of Era-
den reaeh. this standard than the Tow-
louse. ^
The Emden, when well bred, prop-
erly fed and prepared, makes a car-
cass jthat sells Well on the market.
But At is said that many breeders in
this/ country have not given much at-
tention fo tine quality.
There are two varieties of Chinese
geese.- Brown and White. This breed
has different characteristics from the
others mentioned. The birds stand
more e^eet and have longer and slen-
derer nc-’ks than the others. The
Brown Chinese.have at the base of
the bill a peculiar dark-colored knob.
The Brown is considered the most
prolific of all the geese. The stand-
ard weight for the gander Is 15 pounds,
goose 12 pounds. The fefnale is said
to lay from 40 to 50 eggs, sometimes
more. * A large per cent of the eggs
are generally fertile.
The African is not at all common
In this country. -' The color of this
breed Is dark gray on the back and
light beneath. There is a dark stripe
on the neck that extends well down
the back. The hiill is black nnd has
a knob something like that of the
Brown Chinese. -
The color of the eggs Is orange.
The geese of this breed lay better
than Emden. but not so well as the

Ireland has been fighting in-
termittently for something like
seven hundred years for free-
dom.
It has been a long fight, in
the face of every possible dis-
couragement and obstruction.
The Irish, like our own peo-
ple of the original thirteen j
colonies, want the right to gov-
ern themselves. Some day
they will have it.
Ireland in a constant state j
of turmoil, and with a huge;
army maintained to keep it in j
subjection, can be of but little,
value to England. But a free
Ireland, with reciprocal trade
relations, might be a profit-
able neighbor.
Certainly people who have
been “kicking up dust” for.
700 years will hardly remain
quiescent as long as the 8«me
blood flows in their veins.
