Prepare the goose the same as a chicken. Fill with potato or onion stuffing, being careful not to fill it too full, as this dressing will always swell in cooking. Place it in a baking-pan with 1 cupful of water and 2 tea-spoonfuls of salt. Bake in a quick oven, allowing 25 minutes for each pound, basting it frequently. When the goose has been roasting an hour, cool the oven and finish the roast at a moderate heat. Goslings may be cooked in the same manner, allowing 15 minutes to each pound.
