IMPORT GEESE FROM RUSSIA.
A Train Bringing $1,000 Birds Arrives
at Berlin Daily.

The domestic goose holds about the same
honored place in the nutritive economy OF
Germany that the more delicately favored
and patrician turkey does In that of the
United States. according to Consul General
Frank Mason at Berlin. in recent commu-
nication to the Department of State. 1t is
the standard luxury of the German people.
he says, and during nine months Of the year
forms the principal feature of the table at
festive as well as everyday entertainments.
Notwithstanding the fact that great num-
bers of the birds are bred and fattened on
German farms and that every German vii
lage has it's flock of geese, the homegrown
supply falls far short of the constant de-
mand and leaves a large deficit to be filled
by fmportations, mainly from Russia. The
season for that traffic is now at its height,
and a special goose train of from fifteen to
forty cars brings an average of 15,O00 birds
from the Russian frontier each day and
drops them at johannesburg station. Ber-
lin. Immediately after their arrival the
whole train load undergoes an exceedingly
rigid inspection. If a single goose has died
en- route or Is found sick with contagious
ailment the whole car load is placed under
quarantine for eight days. Another death
or discovery of disease during that period
means eight days more Of detainment, at
a cost of about $i76. The obvious object
and effect Of this system is to render the
Introduction of diseased birds such costly
venture as to make it absolutely ruinous to
the perpetrators.
The aggregate wholesale traffic IN geese
at Berlin is placed at nearly $2OO0,00O an
nually.
ITO the ordinary observer" says Consul
General Mason, AL geese are very much
alike. but the expert dealers here divide
the Russian birds, which now command the
Berlin market. into twenty-one different
breeds and categories, according to species.
age, size and condition, wholesale prices
varying from 43 to 50 cents each, though
these prices advance with those of other
poultry as the season lengthens from au-
tumn into winter, the grand climax of the
trade being just before and during the
Christmas holidays, when goose in every
form, from the plain 'Gansebraten' of the
laboring classes to the pate de foie gras OF
the epicure, dominates the tables Of the fes-
tive season.

played the same team to a standstill last
year and the visitors will endeavor to take
this game home with them. Although the
Outing Club has played only one game this
year. the team work is declared to be very
satisfactory, and II 1t puts up the same
kind of q game Saturday that 1t played a
week ago the boys from the banks Of the
Severn will have their hands full to keep
their goal from being crossed. Laurel will
most likely be eutweighed. but will make
up in speed for the discrepancy in weight.
The Laurel High School will play the
stron.s Park Athletic Club on the home
grounds Thanksgiving day, and will try to
wipe out the defeat served up to them by
the Baltimore boys several weeks ago
when they defeated High School by the
close ecore of 6 to 0. High School will go
