PICKING GEESE.

In answer to the query, GLOW often
IN one season ought geese to be
picked?" farmer with fourteen years
experience answers, in the Philadel-
phia Farm Journal, that it depends en-
tirely on the feed and run and ex-
plains the whole situation as follows:
'They feather out more quickly when
they are permitted to run on green
pasture and have abundance Of good
water to drink. Every ten weeks
should find them, under such treat
ment, with good coat of feathers. Do
not pick until laying is over. Geese
cannot be artifcially moulting and
producing eggs at the same time.
Never pick them in cold weather.
When ready to pick, which the expert
enced geese-raiser can tell by the color
OF the plumage (if ready there will be
no yellowish tinge on the white
feathers, but to be sSre pick a few
from the breast Of sne 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 why store-bought feathers
sometimes have such disagreesble
odor. The best guide, experience, tells
as to take only a small pinch Of
Feathers in the fingers at time, and
with q quick downward jerk, from tail
to aeck, displsce the first coat OF
feathers with only very little Of the
second coat, the down. Do not pick
the holsters. those large feathers
under the wings. If you do, the poor
creatures wings will droop continu-
ally. When the goose dies, we can
strip these of for filing pillows for
home use. But never take them from
the geese while living"

BRApsrREET's REPORT.

NEW YORK, March 22. 22.-Bradstreet's to- morrow will say: Improvement in general trade is more marked, but not general. 1t is more conspicuous at larger New England points-notably Boston and Provideuce-at New York, Pittsburg, Cincinnati, Louis- vile and other centers along the Ohio river valley to St. Louis and as far west as Kan sas City. Similar reports come from Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, the first named announcing that smaller quantities of per cent money is being offered, the banks working steadily toward a per cent basis, and loans continuing to improve and reserves being lower than for year past.
 From other cities a better feeling is re- ported, based on the recently developed strength in cotton, wheat. and four. The wide spread prevalence of the inquiry whether this upward movement is the be- ginning of permanent recovery from two years of depression is of itself significant. Wool remains unchanged, although the volume of business is smaller, because it is and Canastrian wools are moro popular. No change in quotations are noted for coffee, sugar or naval stores. On the other hand cotton has jumped up 5. 16d.
 At Nashville, Memphis and Savannah the weeks volume of business is reported slightly in excess of a week ago, increased demand being noted in groceries, hardware and agricultural implements. At no other prominent southern cities arc gains re- ported except at New Orleans, although the dock freight handlers trouble has resulted in loss of business. At Charleston, Chat tanooga, Atlanta, Jacksonville, Birming- ham and Galveston trade is of moderate or fair volume, with collections slow.
