GOOSE LORE.


In answer to the query, how often in
one season ought geese to be picked our
fourteen years experience would say, it
depends entirely on the feed and run.
They feather out quicker where they are
permitted to run on green pasture, and
have abundance of good water TO drink.
Every ten weeks should find them, under
such treatment, with good coat of
feathers.
Do not pick them until the laying pro-
cess is over. Geese cannot be artificially
molting and laying strong eggs at the
same time Never pick in cold weather.
When ready 10 pick, which the expert
enced goose-raiser can tell by the color of
the plnmage (if ready there will be no
yellowish tinge on the white feathers, but
TO be sure pick few feathers from the
breast of the goose, the feathers come
easily and are dry at the quill end. Ii
not ripe they are soft and bloody. And
this is one of the reasons that store
bought feathers sometimes have such a
disagreeable odor.

take only a small pinch of feathers in the
fingers at a time, and with quick,

THE HOP CROP.

There are few crops more uncertain
than hops, and few whose value fluctuates
between wider extremes. An Ontario
County N. " farm of 2C0 acres was once
sold for $4,000, and the man who bought
it paid for it the next year from the profits
was an exceptional year, but it is not un-
common for hops TO sell at 81 pound.
They can be raised for about Is cents.
The folly of farmers is illustrated when
they attempt to speculate upon the course
of the market. When the price is 70 cents
they are sure it will advance to 81, and re-
fuse to sell. In nearly every case the
his crop at fair price, the farmer holds
1t for rise which never comes and sells
the old crop the next year for or 10 cents

THE MORMON TEMPLE.

The dedication of the Temple of Mormon,
which has been foriy-ive years in building
and has cost more than $1,000 coo, is in
sense an historical event There was a re-
markabie fiXedness OF purpose in the people
who selected Its site five days after they had
chosen their new house in the wilderness,
and who adhered to their intention through
the vicissitudes of forty-fve years. The
purpose Of Brigham Young, in ordering the
building of his temple, was TO make the
cornerstone of a nation. This scheme of
creating fertile oasis in the desert and
planting there community which should
prosper, was feasible enough, and we see
how well he succeeded. His dream of Gre
atiug nation which should stand apart
from other nations on the ground of a DIFF
feIent religious faith was an idle dream, rs
the revelation of 1890 to President Wood
ruff, bidding tie Mormons surrender the
doctrine of roygamY, sufficiently proves.
Tie enthusiastic Latter-day Saints who
are eXulting over the gathering OF dele
gates from most of the States of the Union
and from Canada TO take part in the dedica-
tory exercises of the temple VIII err il they
interpret the ceremonies as the Inaugural

can level in opinion and practice.
The new Mormon temple Will add to the
attractions Of Salt Lake City; it will be a
fine church to preach and to pray in; it will
some day house Sunday-schools which will
be useful; it is a noble edifce in which by
and by, perhaps, the people of the chief
city of Utah may gather to consult over
public affairs, but it will not help the re-
ligion Of Mormon any more than the CO.
operative store where the Utah farmers
buy their suppIies.

COMPETITION.

The Pacific Mail Company has announced
that 1t will take general merchandise by the
steamer New York for certain points on the
Pacific Coast between San Francisco and
Panama at the general rate of SIS per
ton. The points are such as are covered
by the North American Navigation Com
pany's steamers. The latter company has
not yet met this cut but win probably
do so if found necessary. 1t is not proba-
BILE that any large number of shippers
will be Induced TO send freight by the
Pacific Mail by the cut below the Ameri-
can Company's rates. The latter are ad-
justed very nearly to the cost of the service.
The American Company is composed of
men who are. first. merchants; second, com-
mon carriers. They have gone into the
transportation business not for the money
that may be In it but for the benefit certain
TO result to themselves and the community
by competition. They became common
carriers upon their discovery that the trans
portatOn companies then in existence had
formed a combination against San Fran
cisco. 1t cost less TO move goods both north
and south OF this city than to and from the
city. Business men generally who took no
stock in the North American Company will
see the advantage of maintaining a CON-
peting line. They must know perfectly well
that if the Pacific Mail and Southern Pa
cihc should succeed in driving the clipper
ships and the North American steamers out
OF business former rates would be restored.
Competition is the life of trade; combina-
tiOn the death.

INDUSTRIES AND RAW MATERIAL.

1t is pleasure to sea large shipments OF
wine going to New York by the North
American Navigation Company's steamer
Keweenaw. but it is reflection upon the
States capacity 10 sustain Industries to see
raw hides being shipped also. 1t is raw
material going elsewhere to be manufac-
tured and probably returned to us as boots
and shoes, leggins, betting and so forth.
The animals are fed on our own ranches.
driven to the slaughterer's, the meat con-
sumed, and the tanning and fabricating of
the hides done elsewhere. This is an
advantage which the States of the Atlantic
seaboard should not be allowed to have

Europe is to the east. No doubt all our
hides do not 60 TO the Eastern tanner. but
why should anyP Surely the cost of trans
portatiOn saved does something to equalize
conditions for The California tanner and
manufacturer, and then there is the cost of
transportation of the manufactured articles
back. which would be seriously adverse TO
the Eastern capitalist if he depended en-
tirely upon California for hides and leather.
Whatever the cause of these opportunities
of building I'D industries being allowed to
slip past us, there is something wrong.
and it should be set right. IL it is qIes-
ton of getting cheap fuel to run machinery,
relief may be found, as Sacramento Will
soon experience, in the utilization OF some
OF the power running to waste in our rivers.
The Folsom dam ought to give the capital a
lift in manufactures of many kinds which
should Increase its prosperity greatly. espe-
ciaily as it has the river to assist it
in transportation To the north and south.
The wool which isso abundant in this State
ought all to be worked up into yarn and
cloth. There again water power is available

In another respect it is not good policy TO

not be made into flour here? The mills

NOT QUITE so BAD.

In an article published in a Washington
paper, Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton writes
in Illuminating way about the bad seaven-
giDg and the Indifference TO dirt which she
says is observable in America, and which
she fears will offend the sense of pro-
prieties in the visiting foreigner this year.
Admitting that she has some foundation
for her carping, she Is a trihe too CEN
serious. AS to the foreigner being made
aghast by sights in the street that come be-
tween the wind and his nobility, much
depends on where he comes from. If from
sunny Italy. or proud Spain, he will return
with. imbibed notions of sanitary reform
uppermost in his thoughts of home. II
from Paris. he will not think the CAV capt.
tai lowered in attractive features by any,
thing he has seen, but there are still parts
OF Paris very malOdorous and filthy. And
what about the country villages and the
provincial towns, such as Rouen, Havre, st.
Malo, Nantes. Marseilles, ToulOn? The
very rudments of sanitation have to be
learned in many places. Belgium and
especially Holland are painfully clean; the
people extract happiness out of hours of
polishing daily. England is not without its
dirty villages and grimy provincial manu-
featuring towns, ami the frequent rains
make gutter puddles OF the streets worn
down. The west end Of London is bright,
but how depressing is the aspect of that
wilderness full Of slums extending from the
City eastward The City itself is full of
unsightly, high-smellng. pent-up alleys
within stones throw of tine streets. Some
Of the unsay0ry spots are within three
minutes walk Of st. James Palace.
Mrs. Stanton has her memory on the
boulevards and garden paths in which sine
has walked abroad. She implores Amer
leans TO reform their habits. to sweep their
streets, to brush up their houses, to keep
the nasty from being obtrusiye, IL not
swept ont OF existence altogether. Unless
we improve foreign visitors will have
thrust upon their notice "tEe filthy streets"
In all cur towns and cities, as well as the
refuse in oar travelling conveyances, from
streetcars to our great railroads and the
steamers plying our magn ficent rivers and
inland seas. They will see papers of all
sizes and colOrs. nutshells, apple, orange
and banana skins sown broadcast in our
streets and sidewalks, cars and all public
places, mixed with expectations, enough to
nauseaie any one not accustomed from in
fancy to these disgusting sights. You
never see papers scattered abont 10 the best
streets of London or Paris, nor anything on
the floors of even third.class car in Eng.
land. In the West she says that the ears
at the end of a days journey are like pig
pens. Chicago is described as one Of the
dirtiest' cities of The Union, and she urges
that prior TO the opening OF the exhibition
1t should receive such a thorough cleaning
as 1t has never had before. Well, no harm
can be done by good scru5bng, and Chicago
does need it. But can Mrs. Stanton have

IN CONFLICT.

The Philadelphia Times comments in an
odd way on the statement in a California
magazine that "the interests of the money
lender and the masses are in conflict. and
the gold standard was adopted at the in
stance Of those who possessed money"
Inc Tunes accepts the statement and adds
that the standard Of measurement Of A thing
Is created by those who possess the thing TO
be measured. The yard, that Journal saws.
is adopted as standard of measurement nv
those who possess cloth; the acre by those
who possess land; the bushel by those who
possess wheat Why, then, should not gold
be adopted as the standard of measurement
by those who possess gold? To this the
answer may be given that the ward tho
acre and the bushel have become standards
of measurement by common accord OF ac
ton through long periods of time. During
these same long periods of time gold and
silver became jointly the standard Of meas
urement for commodities Of all descriptions.
The aero is simply name by which GER
tain amount of land is designated, the value
Of which is determined largely by the
money standard. The acre remains exactly
the same in size if the dropping of
one half the money Of the world should
double the purchasing power of the other
half. 1t will readily be seen that by in
creasing the purchasing power of money
more acres of land may be bought with the
same amount of money. The Times draws
from its irrelevant Illustrations the cOnclu-
sion that what the silver agltators are

really aiming at is that those who have
borrowed on high standard should be able
to pay back on low one." 1t is only
twenty years since the money value Of COM
modities was determined by the relative
amount of money in the world and the
amount of commodities, Assuming that
there was S7.CO0,0 600 600 of money in the
world and $40, goo, 900, 0OO worth of commod-
tiles, it becomes apparent that If the
amount of money is reduced by one-half
the money value of commodities Will shrink
in proportion. The man. therefore. who
loaned money when there was $1,000, COCO
in the world and eXacts payment on the
basis of So. 500 100000 is the man who is
aiming to change the standard in his own
interest. The silver agitators want to re-
store the stock of metallic money to its old
proportions. They hold that the relation of
money to commodities, established by CEN
turtles of usage.'is more likely 10 continue
than the conditions created in the last
twenty years by clique of mouey-ienderS.
