STUFFED GOOSE TRADE
WATERFOWL, WIS.,, CENTER OF
INDUSTRY IN AMERICA.
Product Finds Ready Market All
Over United states--stuffing Done
by Hand-custom Brought
from Germany.

Watertown, Wis.-The season for
stufIing geese Is near at hand and
many farmers around Watertown will
be busy between now and Christmas
looking after this much-sought-after
article of food, which requires time
and patience on the part Of the family
household to produce. The Importance
OF this industry in this section of the
state is little understood, but thou
sands of dollars are paid out annually
for stuffed geese, which in turn find a
ready market all over the United
States. Orders for hundreds Of thou
sands OF pounds of stuffed geese have
already been received in Watertown,
and the order for the stuffing OF the
same has already been given out to
the farmers who understand this line
OF poultry production. It is science
In Itself, and requires judgment, skill
and aptitude to make the undertaking
successful.
The old notion and theory that the
geese were nailed to the floor by their
web feet to keep them quiet was ex.
ploded long ago. No such practice
over prevailed here so far as known.
In fact, during portion of the stufiing
process the goose Is allowed some
freedom and plenty OF water. but to
ward the close of the stufling season
they are confined In smaller pens. The
time Of stuffing varies from three to
four weeks, and under favorable coEdt
tions the latter period gives the bes.
results.
The stufiing is first begun at inter.
walls Of six or seven hours and during
the last week this is kept up three
hours, both day and night, turns being
taken by members of the family In
this work. During the last week the
goose becomes heavy and In conse
quence Of the stufiing and the small
exercise the liver becomes quite large
In some cases being known to weigh
four pounds. Great care must be ex'
ercised or the goose may suffocate
and die. The work of stufflng is done
by hand, the noodles being actually
pushed down the throat of the goose
In doing this each goose must be takei
separately and given as much food a,
the person deems sufficient Tbs
noodles are generally prepared from
mixture OF wheat and rye fou;.
which is mixed into dough and cui

MUST REMAIN AN
EXILE IN CANADA
QUEER ANGLE IN THE CASE OF
u CUSTOMS INSPECTOR.
CONVICTED OF CONSPIRACY
He skips to Canada, is Arrested or
Another Charge, Is Discharged,
and Must Now Return or
Be Jailed.

New York, Feb. 1.-The once famous
silk fraud cases had their ending Fri
day when, upon motion of counsel, the
representative of the government as
senting, Judge Holt, in the Unitet
States circuit court, dismissed an in
dictment returned five years age
against Charles c. Brown, a former
customs silk examiner, In which he
was charged with having been crimi
nally neglectful In his duties as &
feaeral official
The dismissal of the indictment
leaves peculiar legal situation. Brown
had previously been tried on charges
of having conspired with A. S. Rosen
thai, senior member of the firm OF
A. s. Rosenthal G. Co., to defraud the
government by passing entries Of Jap
anese silk at underweights, to avoid
the per pound duty. He was found
guilty and when sentenced to serve
a term in Sing Sing fed to Canada
forfeiting a bail bond of $4,000. He
was arrested in Montreal, but his law
yers successfully fought extradition BY
the novel defense that the crime OF
which he was convicted, that of de
frauding the government through the
the extraditable felonies mentioned IL
the treaty with Great Britain.
Special Attorney General Wickham
then secured custody of Brown upor
the plea that there was still an un.
tried indictment against Brown in New
York. En- route from Canada Brown
was taken from the secret servics
men at Peekskill and hurried to Sing
Sing. This raised an outcry against
alleged kidnapping, and when the
question was taken to court it was held
there that for any other purpose thar
standing trial upon the untried indict
ment, Brown was in Canada.
Two weeks ago Brown was tried or
this Indictment, but the jury disagreed
and now, owing to the technical char
acter of the proof, Browns lawyers
have succeeded in having the indict
ment dismissed. This brings up the
peculiar situation, as Brown must now
return to Canada to avoid serving his
sentence on the previous conviction
and the law allows him "a reasonable
time" to do so. Brown is reported tc
have already departed for this haven
of refuge.
A. S. Rosenthal, the silk merchant
arrested in the first instance with
Brown, is a fugitive in Europe, having
long since forfeited his bail of $4,000
In the silk frauds, out of which these
cases grew, the government lost mil
lions of dollars. Civil suits were
brought, but these were settled yeai
ago by cash payments of less thar
$4,000.
Brown at the time of his arrest
though his salary was but $4,000 annu.
ally, owned a fine country estate al
Great Neck, N. Y. This and other
property, 1t is stated. has been wiped
out by the enormous expenses incurred
by Brown in fighting for freedom.

huge rolls Of butter. as the legs, neck
and head are tied up in such q manner
as to give the fowl that appearance.
The prices vary somewhat with re
spect to the law OF supply and demand.
but the farmer each year knows in ad.
vance pretty near the price he is to
receive for certain quality Of fowl.
The usual price for good stock is the
price pound that the fowl will aver
age. II a lot Of geese will average 2S
pounds in weight then the price is rs
cents pound and so on. The writer
has seen stuffed geese marketed In
Watertown which weighed 81 pounds.
and the liver of which weighed In tho
neighborhood OF four or Ave pounds
They are certainly sight, and during
the season hundreds Of people watch
the marketing of this class OF fowl. As
said before, they are shipped all over
the country. The custom is one which
rame to this country with the Ger
mans from certain sections of that EN-
pire. At Strassburg the industry Is q
largo one. the livers being used to
mako pie called pate de foie gras
ruch eaten and greatly rellshed by
he French. The liver is used as q
lainty edible In this country, while the
ard is fried out and put away sor
able use. The skin of the goose IL
oested and makes dish called Jew
sh crackers. greatly relished. There
8 but little lean meat on the fowl. the
nest of the carcass being converted
nto goose lard.
Tho amount of money paid out fol
ltaifed geese about Watertown may be
Yierred from the fact that one farm
sr in the town of A.i.scrd got q check
or almost $1,000 for the stuffed geese
% marketed in one season. or course
his is not all profit, and care must be
'xerclsed In the seic :tion of the
eese. but the poultry pays remark
