Care of Geese.

when the fattening season ar
rives," says an experienced goose
farmer, keep the geese shut away
from bathing water and feed barley
meal, cornmeal and beef scraps and
chopped celery and keep in a sub
dued light for three or four weeks,
then let out for a couple of days
to enjoy the use of pond. Then
return to their clean quarters and
feed on barley meal and milk and
chopped celery for two or three days,
letting them go for twenty-four hours
before killing, and you will have
geese fit for a king"

A Forty Acre Lot.

Here is a statement of facts rela-
tive to timber growth and increase
in valuation.
For a convenient example will
take tract of average timber land
OF forty acres, such as are to be seen
In the Eastern townships and North
ern Vermont. The total average
stumpage would perhaps be about
twelve thousand feet per acre, maxi
Ing a total of 100000 feet. For the
last few years the average increase
In the price of stumpage has been
about forty cents per thousand per
year. The increase by growth is
about four per cent. The percentage
that should be cut from such a tract
per year is about seven per cent. or
about one tree in fourteen, and bv
this means a healthy growth of the
balance would be assured II the other
rules Of forestry were observed, but
in five or six years the cutting should
be less each season, i. e., 1t should not
exceed the increase by growth. This
data would give the following for
Nula or problem:
The market value of this total
stumpage wodld be: 100000 at 81
per M, or $500. Net yearly earnings
on this stumpage would be: An
nual increase of 100000 feet at
forty cents per M. S192, also Ss, 500
feet total cuttings at 81 per M,
S2s5,20; total $427.20. This shows
an actual net yearly earnings on the
tract of s427.2o. but If we eliminate
the Increase of the value of the
stumpage each year OF forty cents
per thousand, we have an absolutely
safe proposition and earnings OF
S2So.2o ON the tract, or $5.s8 per
acre per year, American cuItivator.

SWEET AND PURE. !"
Quincy Adams Sawyer" a Play
thatsatisfies the most delicate
sensibilities.

In the four years that the great New
England drama Quincy Adams Saw
yer" has been before the public it has
been stamped by a succession of audi
ences all over the country as the best,
the sweetest, purest and most whole
some of rural dramas. At its every
representation the applause and laugh
ter are almost continuous and every
fall of the curtain is the signal for an
ovation to the players which is to be
considered as most emphatic indorse
ment of the play.
Such success ash as been won by this
drama is vouchsafed to butivery few of
the plays that see the stage and can be
won by only play that appeals to the
best elements of the community. Yet
Quincy Adams Sawyer breaches no
sermon except the eternal one of the
golden rule. Its sweet, clean STORY is
strong in unconventional fashion, its
humor is natural and wholesome but
none the less convulsing; its characters
are types, not caricatures.
These are some of the reasons for
the unprecedent popularity Of Quincy
Adams Sawyer. " Others will be APP
parent to those who witness the play at
the Cresco Opera House next Tuesday
evening, the 18th.

WARM FIGHT IN CLEVELAND.
RuRToN.JoHNsoN CONTEST FOR
MAYoRALTY TO BE LIVELY. s
Roosevelt, Taft and Bryan May Speak
During the campaign-ResuIt
in Doubt.

Cleveland, O., Sept. 10.-The contest
between Mayor Tom 4. Johnson and
Congressman Theodore E. Burton. as
the Democratic and Republican nomi-
nees, respectively, for mayor OF Cleve-
land, promises to be the most exciting
political event in the history of this
city, not excepting campaigns some
years ago in which the late Senator
Hanna was the central figure.
The Endorsement of Mr.. Burton's
candidacy by President Roosevelt and
Secretary of War Taft, 1t is said, may
be followed by speeches here by both
later on in the campaign. The presi-
dent is to start from Cleveland on the
coming trip of the inland waterways
commission on its tour of inspection
and investigation on the Great Lakes
and down the Mississippi river, and
Republican leaders believe that while
here he may be induced to make a
speech urging Burton's election,
The Democratic executive commit
tee has called the city convention, at
which Mayor Johnson and the ticket
with him is to be named, for Septem-
Der 49, Mayor Johnson has declined
to discuss the matter since the an
nouncement of Burton as a candidate,
but it is said he has assurances that
w. ]. Bryan and other leading Demo-
Gratis from various parts of the coun-
try will come here to make speeches
in his behalf.
Cleveland is regarded as normally
Republican city by from 900 to 10000
majority in national elections, and up
to the advent of Mayor Johnson six
years ago the Republicans had ruled
the city and county for years with the
exception of isolated cases, such as
the election of Mayor Farley, follow
ing the defeat Of the McKisson adj
mihistration.
In selecting Mr.. Burton to oppose
Mayor Johnson, the Democratic lead
ers admit that the Republicans have
put forward their strongest man, and
while they claim johnson will win,
they concede privately that it is any
body's race. It was Burton who de.
feated Johnson after the latter had
served two terms in congress. Since
that campaign Mr.. Burton has con.
tinued to represent the district in con.
gress.
Mr.. Burton's political managers as
sert that his probable candidacy for
the seat of Senator Foraker is no way
affected by his race for mayor, and
that he will retain his seat in congress
and the Craftsmanship of the rivers
and harbors committee at least until
after the mayoralty election.
