TRAINED GEESE CATCH FISH FOR MASTER
J. T. Kerr, a prominent planter of Concordia Parish, La., and a member of tho Fifth District Levoe Board, has a pair of trained wild geese fully equal in intelligence to the famous hunting hog of Colonel Tucker Gibson, the noted big game hunter of Natchez (says an American newspaper). 31r Kerr has just finished teaching tho geese to fish, and declares that, as they already knew how to swim and dive, it was only necessary to impress 6n them to catch tho fish and bring them to tho boat, which ho rows alongside. His greatest trouble, Mr Kerr said, was teaching thb geese to discriminate in tho kind of fish, as ho wanted only perch, bass, or trout. Ho declares that this difficulty has been overcome, and that ho is prepared to give demonstrations at Lake St. John, in Concordia Parish, at any time.
