Rice as Pure O

Representative rice growers, brok-
ers and millmen have just held a
meeting to determine what course
should be pursued by the rice in
terests in conforming to the regula-
lions of the pure food law which
applies to that food product.
1t was stated at the meeting that
the only branch of the industry af-
fected by the pure food law is the
milling industry. In polishing rice
talcum, glucose, parafin and oil are
used, but it is said by the millmen
that before the rice is prepared for
the table all these substances disap-
pear. Between the time of the mill
ing of the rice and when it is placed
on the table the amount of talcum
which adheres to the grains, it il
asserted, acts as a preventive against
insects and does not injure the
cereal.
1t will be the purpose of the COM
mittee which goes to Washington to
make this feature plain to DR.. Wiley,
and it is believed that the Depart
ment of Agriculture will rule that
the present method of milling may
be continued without fear of violat-
ing the pure food law.-Commercial

O II OF WISDOM.

Many a true word is spoken in in
digestion.
Many a man with a big head has
small ideas.
Many a mar has a small excuse for
feeling big.
The best way to keep a cook is to
try to get rid of her.
Appearances are almost as decep-
tive as trying to keep them up.
Fame often merely makes it harder
Tor a man to dodge his creditors.
1t isn't until some men are broke
that they try to mend their ways.
A girl seldom dreams of a career
until she has been disappointed In
love. 4
A woman can hurl defiance more
Effectively than she can throw q
stone.
All the world loves a lover, espe,
cially the jeweler, the florist and the
confectioner.
A girl naturally prefers short en-
gagements. She cal get so many
more of them in.
The rich man always goes to e1-
tremes. He either buys an automo-
bile, or walks to save carfare.
The worst of a bad memory is that
it is always springing things on us
that we fondly hoped we had for
gotten.
There are more ways than n by
which a woman can get even with a
man. One way is to marry him, and
another is not to.
There comes a time when any man
can hear a lot of good things about
himself, but the trouble is he is too
dead to enjoy the experimentation

FOWLS LOOK LIKE BUTTER.
Entertaining Description of Stuffed
Geese Industry in Wisconsin.

Entertaining Description OF stunned
Geese Industry in Wisconsin.
The following article is taken from
a Watertown (Wis.) paper:
The stuffed geese industry around
Watertown is growing yearly until
now 1t has reached a total Of more
than 5000 geese marketed here this
season, with an income to the farm
ers raising them of more than $685.
600, or an average of owe SIS for
each goose. One farmer alone will
this year receive the sum of $500 for
154 fowls, or nearly Sc apiece. This
enormous product Is marketed all
over the United States, and Is pur-
chased chiefly by the Jews, who use
the fat in place Of butter and make
pate de foie gras of the liver, which
grows to an enormous size during the
stuffing period, some of them weigh
ing three and a quarter pounds.
These large livers are taken from
geese which weigh thirty pounds and
more, one marketed this season
Weighing thirty-four pounds. The
heaviest ever marketed here so. far as
known weighed thirty-six pounds.
The price paid for these geese is the
average weight of the lot. If they
average t~wenty-four pounds the
farmer receives t~wenty-four cents a
pound for them.
In the preparation of the geese for
market great care must be taken, as
the slightest injury before killing will
destroy the goose for marketing pur-
poses. After killing, great care must
also be taken in dressing the fowl, as
the skin is very tender and liable to
split open If not handled carefully.
The stuffing season usually is three
weeks, although some make the per-
iod shorter and some a trife longer.
The geese are not nailed down by the
feet as some people imagine, but are
kept in pens toward the close OF the
season, with plenty of water within
easy reach. The noodles with which
they are stuffed are generally pre-
pared from a mixture of rye and
WIIGdL AOuI, WAlCA 40 OohSA A. VAN
oven and afterward can be softened
before giving to the fowl During
the frst and second weeks the stuff
ing is done at certain regular inter-
walls, but during the last week they
must be attended to almost hourly,
