To fattcn geese after the Strasburg
fashion, the bird must neither be too
young nor too old, its growth must be
completed, those remarkable for their
cackling should not be selected, and
none chosen under ten pounds weight.
Some geese can be fattened in eight,
while others require twenty-four days;
but fifteen to eighteen days is the av-
erage period Winter is the most pro-
pitious time for the process, and the
months are December and January.
When in the crib every cause of ex-
element should be removed, the birds
must be kept in complete darkness
state of absolute repose-and free
alike from cold and heat. In the
region around Toulouse, where forage
is scarce, and consequently milk butter
rare, the geese are fattened for their
fat alone, the flesh, feathers and liver
being only secondary ends. Cracked
maize, or it's meal, is the chief food
employed; thirty-fve quarts is the
quantity used during the whole pro-
cess. Barley meal is good; some pre-
tef mixture of pea, bean and buck
wheat flour. The stomach of goose
has a strong digestive power When
the bird is killed the fat is melted and
placed in earthen pots, where it re-
tains its color and good taste for two
years; the flesh is then sailed like
pork or beef and sold in the locality.
The Polish plan is to place the goose
in an earthen pot, having the bottom
knocked out, for fifteen days, giving it
as much meal paste as it can consume.
In Strasburg the geese receive maize
or barley meal mixed with milk, and a
saucer of water is within reach of
their box. At the last stage of fatten-
ing the geese lose appetite, so they
have to be fed with a tundish; little
powdered charcoal is added to the ra.
ton, the better to develop the liver.
The circulation of the blood becomes
very sluggish at the close of the pro,
cess, and its color pale rose or white
the globules considerably diminish
The liver is white, friable, not bitter
and rich in albumen. But when the
final stage is reached and the biro
! killed, the blood returns to its normal
condition, and the fat diminishes in al
parts of the body, save the liver.

CLEARWATER CUTS.

To the Editor of the Eagle.
Nothing unusual has occurred for two
weeks to rufiile the even tide of affairs in
our quiet little city until the terrible wind
storm Of Monday and Tuesday, which was
followed by the most powerful rain, and in
many places even waterspouts, as the rain
fell in sheets. Wednesday morning the
Minnesota was higher than ever known be-
fore. The construction train was at work
south of here on q wreck, and at 4 o'clock
Wednesday morning they started for the
tank here for water with the engine and
tender and three men. When the engine
ran on to the bridge crossing the Minnesota
the bridge gave way and all went down to-
gether. The engineer. Mr.. McDaniels, of
your city, has not been found up to this
writing. The two men foated down the
river and lodged among some trees, where
the citizens found them alive and rescued
them about 10 o'clock Il. m. The highway
bridge being some sixty rods be-
low WAS carried away, and also
the bridge northwest six miles was de-
stroyed. So we are here without a bridge,
but hope as soon as the water falls that not
only the railroad bridge will be replaced, but
also the other two. We understand Mr..
McDaniels leaves a wife and several small
children to mourn his untimely end. Every
effort thus far has failed TO recover the body
but presume it will be found as soon as the
river falls. ALPHA.

in field Of wheat is thus hopclessly dead
half of the stand is gone and while the re
naming plants may have more room to de-
velop, in a favorable season they canno;
possibly make up the loss represented by SC

DERBY DOUBTS

DERBY, HAS, April 2S.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle.
Although the progress of the farmers in
this locality il somewhat retarded by the
continued rains, yet the work of improve
ment, especially in the line of house build
ing in and around Derby still goes on all
the same. Several good residences, &c,
just completed, and Others in process of
construction. Among the persons putting
up dwellings at this time is our popular
Young physician DIR. W. b. Foster, who has
selected a site for said purpose in the ex-
treme north end of town. Also one of
Wichita's old citizens, Mr.. John Gross, who
is erecting a first-class building on Georgia
town were full OF surveyors yesterday, lay
ing out lots etc, for the purpose IF extend
ing the limits of Derby, rs we are full and
might be said in some neighborhcods, run
ming over. Look out, we wish 10 give all
the little adjacent villages fair warning.
Well, witt regard to our contemplated
mill. referred to before, We can briefly state
that the report of the engineers with refer
ence TO water-power, is quite encouraging,
vet nothing. as yet, has been arrived at con-
corning the cost of channel, etc, vet there
is strong grounds for rational belief
that such thing as good mill
will not always be beyond the reach
and grasp OF Derby. We have reason to
hope much from the operation of our build
ing and loan association that will soon be
permanently organized and on a firm bust
ness footing, having the best and staunchest
material in this vicinity at its helm. Men
of thrift and enterprise, whose minds and
hearts swell out and expand beyond the mar
row contracted sphere of self progressive
souls, having onward and upwsrd for their
watchword.
Occasionally we are entertained by the
presence of John Barlcyccrn, resulting in a
pugiistic display and concomtant of black
eyes and pug noses. Such is life where the
creter is com-atlble. either from the con-
scientious saloonist or sanctifed drugwump.
Well, the town is full Of agents and drum
mers of all kinds too tedious to personats.
Suffice j. to say someone will get their eve
teeth cut ere they bid us sn sfectionste fare
well.

ATTICA ANTICS
ArrrcA. April p. 1856.

ATTICA, April q, 1885.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
To say that this bright little town is en-,
joying boom of more than an average size
would be drawing it very mild indeed. We
will also be safe in asserting that there is nc
other town in all of Southern Kansas which
can show su, h remarkable growth and with
so many add ions to its business interests
during the st eight months of its exist
ence. At p, sent if is the terminus of the
Southern X; nsas road and is likely to con-
tinue as sue for the next six months a,
least. The abroad company has bought
nearly a section of land adjoining the town,
and as il is also the junction of the branch
road TO Medicine Lodge and New Kiowa,
the railroad company evidently intends TO
locate considerable of their interests in the
way Of shops and round house at this
point.
The travel through here TO the counties
west is very large and every day there is
from eight TO dozen hacks and stages leave
Attica loaded down with people.
The additions in the way Of new business
houses and hotels are so numerous that ii is
n hard matter to keep track of them all.
The very latest is tie National
hotel, G. H. Lynds, proprietor, is opened
to-day with good rush Of custom. Two
new banks will open in a few days.
News was brought in here to-day from
Medicine Lodge, telling of water spout
which burst near that town or Monday
night, causing perfect mountsin of water
to rush down Elm creek and over what is
known as the flats. Five or six houses in
the town were carried away by the rushing
waters, and the bank of the creek being
lined with emigrants, it being their favorite
camping place, ii ia roughly estimated that
from forty to fifty of these must have been
drowned. The food came so suddenly that
there was no chance for them to escape.
Out of a family of five none were saved but
the father, an old man of 60. Along the
creek for miles the trees are hung with
harness, wagons, beds, boxes and every
kind of household goods, belonging to these
poor people. Altogether it is one of the
saddest catastrophes that has happened in
the southwest for many year. :. w.

ADVICE NOT WANTED

Frank Hatton, the little shallow patea
squirt whom fortuitous circumstances
twirled out OF the sediment which the Re
publican party was SO unfortunate TO per-
init 10 accumulate during the last years Of
its administration, is jus. now advising Re-
publcans what to do. That same Hatton is
a nincompoop of the original species, sad
ly degenerated descendant of the tribe of
Judas. The only reputation his paper ever
had was given if by the pen Of another and
if the people knew all the inside of his last
six months in office he would be compelled
to hunt up a different employment than
that of editing a Republican newspaper in a
great Republican state like Iowa. A single
dash of his servile pen on the election
day would not only have protected large
number of honorable men in their political
rights but saved the state of New York
