Some Fancy Prices.

i, The prices vary somewhat with
respect to the law of supply and de-
mand, but the farmer each year knows
in advance pretty near the price he
is to receive for a certain quality of
fowl. The usual price for good stock
is the price per pound that the fowl
will average. If lot of geese Will
average % pounds in weight then the
price is % cents a pound, and so on.
The writer has seen stuffed geese
marketed in Watertown which weigh
ed 81 pounds, and the liver of which
weighed in the neighborhood of four
and five pounds. They are certainly
sight and during the season hun
dreds 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 came to this
country with the Germans from GER
tain sections of that empire. At
Strassburg the industry is a large
one, the livers being used to make g
pie called pate de foie gras, much
eaten and greatly relished by the
French. The liver is used as dainty
edible in this country while the lard
is fried out and put away for table
use. The skin of the goose is toasted
and makes a dish called Jewish crack
ers, greatly relished. There is but
little lean meat on the fowl, the most
of the carcass being converted into
goose lard.
The amount of money paid out for
stuffed geese about Watertown may
be inferred from the fact that one
a check for almost $1,000 for the
stuffed geese he marketed in one sea
son.

Poultry Season at Hand

The poultry season is now at hand
and market is ready in Watertown
for the barnyard fowl of all descrip-
tions. The cold weather of the past
few days has made the weather con-
ditions good and the commission men
and local dealers are awaiting the in
f1ux of dressed poultry from the sur
rounding country. 1t is said that Wa
tertown pays higher prices for first
class poultry than any other city in
this section of Wisconsin and the
prices this year will be top notch ones
as usual. 1t is asserted that turkeys
will be scarce in this section of the
state, but there will be plenty of 9TH
er dressed fowl in the local market.
The Stuffed Geese.
The stuffed goose season is near at
hand and between now and Christmas
many farmers hereabouts will be busy
looking after this much sought after
article of food, which requires time
and patience on the part of the fami-
ly household to produce. The i'm
portance of this industry in this sec
ton of the state is but little under
stood, but thousands of dollars are
paid out annually for stuffed geese
which in turn find ready market all
over the United States. Orders for
hundreds of thousands of pounds. of
stuffed geese have already been re-
ceived in Watertown and the order
for the stuffing of the same has al
ready been given out to the farmers
who understand this line of poultry
production. 1t is a science in itself
and requires judgment, skill and apti-
tude to make the undertaking success
full
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 a practice
ever prevailed here so far as known.
In fact, during a portion of the stuff
ing process the goose is allowed some
freedom and plenty of water, but
toward the close of the stuffing sea-
son they are confined in smaller pens.
The time Of stuffing varies from three
to four weeks and under favorable
conditions the latter period gives the
best results

Plans for New Year

Plans for greater scope in develop
ing interest among the boys and girls
OF Watertown for home beautifying
were discussed at meeting of the
Watertown Outdoor Art association
last evening at the city hall, and it is
probable that a more determined eff
fort will be made to enlist the efforts
of the younger population in this di-
rection in 1910. Four cash prizes
were awarded successful contestants
for the beautifying of waste places,
yards and home surroundings, the re-
port of the committee being as fol
lows:
Mr. President and Members of the
WatertOwn Outdoor Art Associa-
ton:
Your committee appointed to in
spect work done by contestants for
prizes offered for Improvement of
back yards and unsightly places, sub
mits its report. The names of six
boys and one girl were sent to the
secretary, and May II the committee
visited the sites offered, finding the
work to be done of a varied character.
September 15 the committee paid
its final visit to these same places.
Owing, largely no doubt, to the
drought, the work done, on the whole,
was not of a character to equal that
done year ago. However, the four
contestants whom the committee re-
commends to your attention have
been faithful and energetic and no
thought of drought entered our minds
as we viewed their grounds.
Elleworth Miller at 3O2 Ninth
street, presented a back yard typical
for its neatness and with just the
right amount of ornamentation rightly
placed. Having accomplished the
greatest transformation" he is award
ed first prize.
The grounds of Arthur Krebs at 217
Seventh street have been a source of
joy to all who chanced to see them
through all this dry summer. This
third years work was a climax to that
OF the two previous years and yet as
the prizes before were because of
Transformation" the prize of four
dollars this year is because of the
beauty now added.
Herbert Brennecke out of rough un-
even grounds made a beautiful lawn
which in view of the drought and
other obstacles has won for him third
place.
Samuel Kuenzi, 317 Dewey avenue,
demonstrated what child of eight
years could accomplish. An unsightly
corner of the back yard was kept tidy
and free from weeds and made at
tractive with bright flowers. To him
is awarded fourth prize

A conductor and a brakeman on
a Montana railroad differ as to the
proper pronunciation of the name
Eurelia. Passengers are often
startled upon arrival at this station
to hear the conductor yell:
You're a liar! You're a liar!"
And then from the brakemen at
the other end of the car:
You really are! You really are!"
When Lord Halsbury was a bar
rlSter he was arguing a case on be-
half of a Welshman and showed
great knowledge of the principality
and its people. Come, come,"
said the Judge at last, you know
you cannot make yourself out to be
a Welshman. Perhaps not"
replied the barrister, but l have
made great deal of money out of
Welshmen in my time We'll,

we call you a Welshman by ex-

A man on a sleeping car in Ar

road is this, anyway"
You don't need a watch on this

1t is the same thing under
different names, said DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, the government food
of some new food preserva-
tives. 1t reminds me of the old
of an Episcopal church.
This caretaker, as he sat smok-
ing his pipe on a tomb in the ceme-
terry, dismissed as trivial certain
changes in the ritual.
The good old creed keeps the
same for ALL said he. Look at me
here. l used to be t.le janitor. The

A young couple entered a railway
carriage and were Immediately put
down as a bridal pair, says the
Boston Herald. But they were re-
markably self-possessed, and be-
haved with such sangfroid that the
other passengers began to doubt.
AS the train moved out the young
man rose to take oft his overcoat
and shower of rice fell out. The
smiled broadly.
But even that did not effect the
youth, who also smiled, and, turn

BY Jove, May, I've taken the
bridegroom's overcoat!"
The young son of a Louisville
business man was taken on his first
trip to the country recently. In
town he has been wearing shoes
and stockings constantly, but after
he got out in the rural district he
decided that he wanted to do like
all the other boys, and go bare
footed. He refused to be hindered
by warnings as to what would
happen to him, and peeled off.
He enjoyed himself immensely
fer a while after that, but it wasn't

Prof. w. P. Roseman presented the
prizes and addressed a few remarks
to the recipients. He said it was to
inculcate the idea Of beauty and self
pride that efforts along this line were
made. The natural result of such
work was a desire and personal pride
in caring for oneself and the home
surroundings. It gives them an in
centive to create the beautiful in life
as they grow older.
A vote of thanks was rendered the
committee in charge of the work.
Short addresses were made by Ed

The Stuffing Process.

The stufting is first began at inter.
walls of six or seven hours and during
the last week this is kept up every
three hours, both day and night, turns
being taken by members of the family
in this work. During the last week
consequence of the stuffing and the
small exercise the liver becomes quite
large, in some cases being known to
weigh four pounds. Great care must
goose may suffocate and die. The
work of stuffing is done by hand, the
noodles being actually pushed down
the throat Of the goose. In doing this
each goose must be taken separately
and given as much of the food as the
person deems sufficient. The noodles
are generally prepared from q mix
ture of wheat and rye flour which is
mixed into dough and cut into strips
or noodles, which in turn are baked
in the oven ready to be used. When
the time comes they are moistened in
water and forced down the throat of
the goose with the aid of the finger
The dressing of the geese after kill
ing is one of the main considerations,
as much depends upon the way the
geese are put up for market and this
generally means that the farmer has
gathering to help in the work so
that it can be done expeditiously.
When the work of dressing is done
the fatted fowl have the appearance
of huge rolls of butter, as the legs,
neck and head are tied in such man
ner as to give the fowl that appear
