The only goose ranch-that is, a farm de.
voted to the breeding and care OF geese-in
this country is owned aud operated By Phil
adelphians The farm is located on the east
ern shore OF Virginia, and covers nearly
1900 acres, over which the feathered ocou.
pants are free to roam. In England there
are number OF such farms, some OF them
having as high as 900 geese. The American
one is OF much larger proportions. as its
hecks number IN the neighDorhood of 5000
birds
In certain textile branches of trade the
down and feathers OF geese are the main raw
materials. The manufacture OF fine quilts
and the preparation OF certain articles of
dress utilize the down, and in cheaper grades
OF goods the younger and softer feathers are
used IN the way of adulteration. Tue large
and strong feathers of the tails and wings 90
mainly into the quill pens used by profes
sionsl engrossers, lawyers, clergymen, al.
thors and others. These are too tough for
much ssscc in the textile productions men
toned above.
The American farm is devoted exclusively
to producing the raw materials needed FOR
the fine down quilts. Several species of
geese are bred, all OF them being, however,
of American lineage. The largest specimens
are the swan geese and the plumage of all is
OF snowy whiteness. The birds are regularly
led with corn and other grains, aud are given
the utmost freedom consistent with the pre-
ventiOn of stTaying and loss. In conse-
quence men are employed as herders to keep
a watchful eye on their charges. Sheds for
shelter are provided in case of Indictment or
especially severe weather, but the birds rare
ly use them.
About every six weeks the plucking takes
place. Only the breast and portions OF the
sides are touched. the feathers of the back.
the wings and the tail being left intact. 1t
requires hearty 100 average geese to furnish
pound of down. though the smaller lesth.
ers, which are also taken, weigh much
heavier. These feathers, however, form an
entirely separate grade of product from the
valuable down.
The average life of goose is said to be
about forty years. and they produce from
six TO ten eggs per annum, . large proper
ton OF which are Matched. A bird Matched
in February is in condition for plucking the
following August, and so on thereafter every
six or eight weeks. The feathers are packed
in sacks and sent TO the Philadelphia fac
| tory, where they are trimmed, washed,
steamed and otherwise prepared for their
ultimate uses. In adulterating the fluffy
down for the cheaper grades of goods are
| chopped up fine and then mingled with the
more valuable material. So practiced are
some manufacturers that it requires an ex-
pert to distinguish between the grades. The
| local factory, which is the only one of prom
ineDce in the country, makes nothing but
/ the finer goods. Heretofore the down and
| feathers used in American markets have
| been imported.

SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
Mr.. Peasants bill II. r. CAT concerning
the duties of County superintendent, COM
ing up on the second reading
Mr.. SMITH, of Tippecanoe: l believe
this is the bill said to render County Super
intendents more efficient; however, move
that the bill be indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. PLEASANTS: The bill will rectify q
gross imposition practiced by County Super
intendents. By its provisions, instead OF g
County Superintendent continually visiting
schools as ne may please, in order to put in
time and draw his salary, such visits are put
into the hands of and curtailed by Township
Trustees. A great many schools need no Wis.
iting ct all.
Mr.. SMITH, of Tippecanos: There are
two reasons, especially, why this bill should
not pass. 1t provides that the County Su-
perintendent shall visit every school q half
sample, you would be compelled to extend
the calendar 10 provide for it. You might
as well strike down our whole school system
as 10 bind il IS this bill will do.
Mr.. LLOYD: County Superintendents are
allowed by law 81 per day for days sctuslly
employed, but al of them draw full COM
pensation for every working day in the year.
The Superintendent in our county draws
per annum 81 800, and the school has only q
fve-months term per year. These salaries
keep increasing. Il is not, say, the fault
OF the County SuperinIendents that they
draw q salary for every working day in the
year, but the fault of the law.
Mr.. CORY: This is a very important
question and should be looked at calmly
and acted upon deliberately. The bill is a
proposition to strike out of existence the
Office of County Superintendent virtually,
] say, to destroy it, The bill provides that

SUPREME COURT CLERK DUTIES.

: SO and ), $50 of the code, coming up as a
special order for this hour, Mr. NJ explained
its provisions. 1t proposes, among other
things, to increase the bond of the Clerks,
which is ridiculously small, from 3, 600 to

Mr. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks, read the
statute governing the Clerks of the Circuit

Clerks OF Circuit Courts 1t would be good

Gophers and MoIes In Orchards.

A correspondent of San Francisco paper
writes: II a patent could be secured for the
effectual expulsion of gophers from or
chards the patentee would be likely to real
lie a fortune thereby. And yet the plan is
within the reach oil all. While pruning the
orchard OF S. B. Marcus, who lives few
miles east of jacksonville, | was struck with
the thrifty appearance of the trees and the
total absence of any sign of gophers On in
quiry, Mr.. Marcus informed me thai few
years since the gophers we're very numerous
in the orchard, and made sad havoc among
the trees, nearly destroying them. Having
previously observed that the ground mole
would not work IN or near manure heaps.
he came TO the conclusion that
manure placed about the roots of his
trees might possibly prevent the depredations
of the gopher. The result more than met
his expectations. Since be has commenced
putting manure about the roots of his trees
not a gopher has been seen, nor even the
sign of one; besides, the trees have been
greatly benefited by this manuring. Mr.
Marcus says he simply digs away the soil
from the trees, and places few forksful of
stable manure around the trunks of the trees
and covers 1t over with the soil. If there is
more manure than can be conveniently
covered, he spreads 1t about the trunk of the
tree. By this simple device he has not only
driven these pests from his orchard, but
greatly benefited it by enriching the soil.
Mr.. Marcus deserves a gold medal for max
ing this discovery. And il affords me much
pleasure to be able to give il to the public
through the columns of your widely.ex-
tended journal, which find in nearly every
household where 90.

Botheration among the DOCTORS.

There is breeze In the st. Louis Medical

Several physicians had ''specialties" and ad-
vertised them. This being contrary TO med
