RAISING GEESE FOR MARKET.

The Thousands Of geese which arriv,P

attract little attention, a. but few OF
them are seen In the markets, and
their many excellent qualities are little
known. The geese come from differ
ent points along the Chesapeake bay
and its tributaries, and they weigh
from twelve to twenty-four pounds
each, and bring from $1.25 to &2.2S.

ing geese. They are shipped here usu-
ally in large crates, but when put out
on the wharf many of them have their
legs doubled over their backs and Sc
cured, by which means they are rem.
dered helpless and possible goose chases
are prevented.
Before the goose is brought to market
its rearing is simple. In fact, geese are
the easiest poultry to raise when the
surroundings are favorable. In early
February the geese begin laying. They
deposit seven or eight eggs but will lay
several lots of eggs if the first are re-
moved when laid. They are careful of
their young, which grow fast and do
not require more than week or two of
feeding before they are ready to hustle.
Grass fields around the water shores are
their delight, and they will grow and
thrive while grazing like cattle. If
they get into a wheat field while the
wheat is green they play havoc.
In August, September and October
they are picked, an ordinary goose
yielding about two pounds of feathers,
which are worth fifty cents per pound.
Before the universal use of metallic
pens goose quilts brought quite profit
to poultry raisers. About four weeks
prior to the time for shipping the geese
they are put up and fattened on corn.
1nthe fattening process the goose is boss
The avidity with which it accomplishes
the task set is wonderful When the
geese reach market they are surprisingly
heavy, and look with disdain on other
fowl which are not SO fat.
The largest buyers of geese are citi.
zens OF the jewish faith. After max
ing purchase they put the goose in a
pen and give it unlimited nutritious
food. Then the goose is put in pen
that is too small to allow any other
motion than that absolutely necessary
for selling and swallowing the food.
At this stage men who make profes.
sion of goose fattening play little joke
on the goose, that is, they put it
through stuffing process.
The goose is taken by the head, its
mouth forced open, its throat moist
ened and the food stuffed in. The
goose is then left to convert the food
into fat. The goose which is intended
for Jewish family dies an aristocratic
death. The owner must not kill it, az
that is the function of some one of the
congregation empowered by the rabbi.

Hats and Elevators.
The question of taking ones hat off
in the elevator may be readily dis
posed of when one takes into consider
alton the fact that the elevator is mere
ly a means of passage from one portion
of building to another, as in the
staircase or hallway. One does not 90
about with ones hat in ones hand in
the corridor of hotel or mounting the
stairs of business building. The lift
ing of the hat in the elevator is a Gus
tom of English derivation-but if it is
against reason and common sense il
need not perforce receive sanction here.
Besides in England the elevator is a
lift, and perhaps the male passenger
mconsciously lifts his hat in sympathy
with that nomenclature. and

Tho Skin Of roads and sAlam.nders.

Tho Skin Of Toads and SAlamanders.
A recent microscopical study by
Herr Schultz of the skin of toads and
salalnanders has yielded some interest
ing results. There are two kinds of
glands, mucous and poison glands. The
former are numerous over the whole
body, while the latter are on the body
and limbs, and there are groups in the
ear region behind the eye, and in the
salamander at the angle Of the jaw.
The poison glands are, of course, pro-
tective, and the corrosive juice is dis
charged differently in toads and sala-
manders on stimulating electrically; in
the latter it is spurted out in fine Jet,
sometimes more than foot in length,
whereas In the toad, after long action
of the current, it exudes sparingly in
drops. There is no reason for suppos-
ing that the mucous glands become

AN UNREASONABLE CITY LAW.
Bad Features OF the Dog Tax Ordnance
Will the City Fathers do the
Decent Thing?

The city clerk reports sixty eight dog
tax tags called for up to 10 o'clock to-day.
After Wednesday, tomorrow, under the
law, city policemen will be authorized to
pull their guns anywhere and shoot
down every dog that may wear no tax
tag. There are no strings on the police
man in this matter. He can bang away
at the animal ON the public sire cts, re-
CARELESS OF his ability as u marks man,
and if your wife or babies happen to be
around in that vicinity, or fractions
horse is near, it makes no difference.
The policeman is authorized to shoot, Just
the same. Should citizen secure the
necessary tax tag and collar, and by
any mishap the dog should lose this col
lar, the law gives the policeman authority
to shoot down the animal, no matter how
valuable he may be. In word, it ap-
pears that none of the reasonable safe
guards which ordinary good sense sug-
gests, which fair play and just regard
for the feelings of the peculiar class of
poor people here, untutored in the ways
of city government, ought to prompt the
city aldermen to adopt. The citizen is
given a rigid, iron-clad proposition-and
it is absolutely wrong, under the circum-
stances. Let the city fathers modify this
ordinance tonight so that reason may
take part in it's enforcement. Why moi
establish dog pound and keep therein
at least three days all dogs found running
at large without tax tag? This will give
the owner a chance at all times to reclaim
his property and comply with the law.
