SAVING POULTRY FEATHERS.
Source Of Profit If You Know How 70
Handle Thsm.

Probably few poultry growers -A
cept those who make u specially Of the
production of feathers realize thai they
might add considerably to their profits
by saving the feathers from paris "f
the chickens as well Us Of ducks and
geese
All the soft. fuffy feathers on the
under side Of the body are available for
stutiing pillows and cushions, and thes4
should be pluckcd before the fowl IL
scalded.
Those Of white fowls of whatever
species always bring higher prices than
dark ones, although the latter are fully
as valuable for most purposes.
Turkeys also furnish a quantity Of
i, soft feathers as well as those of the
wings and tail, the latter being mar
ketable products worked up into brush
e. and busters and utilized In other
ways.
To prepare feathers for the market
or for use merely drying in the sun or
by low degree of fire heat is not suf-
ficient. All the animal odor and oil re-
Quire to be removed, and this is done
In various ways. Perhaps tie best
method is as follows:
Prepare solution Of Quicklme by
shaking the latter in the proportions Of
one pound to each gallon of water.
After the mixture has settled pour OF
and strain the clear liquid and stir
into it such quantities of the feathers
as 1t will thoroughly cover. keeping the
latter immersed in this for two or three
days, stirring repeatedly with paddle.
Then skim Off all scales and impurities
that have risen to the surface and lift
the feathers out to drain on to wire
screen and when the lime water ceases
to drip rinse thoroughly in hot and
then in cold water and place again ON
the Gevss to dry.

She did not know that the
trouble could be corrected and suffer
ed the blight on her beauty with be-
coming patience. She would some
times use one eye, then the other.
Ruth had three suitors-Mr. Sanders,
a well to do merchant; Mr.. Atwater,
an attorney In good practice, and
George Carter, young fellow with
nothing In his pocket and no prospects.
The first two were elderly and unat-
tractive. Atwater was favored by
Ruth's father. Sanders by her mother
and Carter by Ruth herself.
II tell you. ma" said Mr.. 1nwood to
his wife while he was shaving le
morning. Ruth is going to take At
water. Did you notice last evening
that she paid attention to everything
he said. scarcely glancing at Sanders?"
"Pshaw, pa" replied the lady. Ruth
was using her left eye. That kept
her face turned toward Atwater. She
was really looking at Sanders
Then followed the usual wrangle
whenever the parents got on this sub
ject
1t so happened that Mr.. Atwater
and Mr.. Sanders made up their minds
to settle the matter between them on
the same evening, and it so happened
that Ruth had that day received
long admonition from her father as to
the folly of letting slip so desirable a
suitor as his favorite and n similar
admonltion from her mother as to the
object Of her own choice The poor
girl was in state of mind bordering
on insanity when the maid announced
Mr.. Sanders. Ruth went into the par
lor intending to accept him and thus
put an end to the matter. Sanders,
who was a plain business man, had
barely seated himself before he began
his proposal with a statement Of his
affairs. He was coming to the point
when Mr.. Atwater stepped into the
room. Sanders, who suspected At
waters intention. set his jaws firmly
and was going right on when he dis
covered that the young lady was look
Ing at his rival. Atwater. who had
caught the direction Of Ruth's other
eye, supposed she was looking at San

and the former maintained silence.

you will give me your attention for a
few moments longer l will leave you

I'm listening" said Ruth.
"As was saying" Mr.. Sanders
went on, there is enough for COM

Meanwhile Atwater had caught the
eye that was turned in his direction
and. supposing that Ruth was not at
tending to his rivals words, began to
speak.

Civic EXPERT FIELDS
IMPRESSIONS OF HILO

"One of two things that particularly
impressed me on my late visit to
Ililo," said II. Gooding Field this
morning, was the general spirit Of
cooperation which existed among the
business men of that town in matters
OF public interest.
The public improvements that are
being made there are remarkable for
the present size of the place, all Of
which are being undertaken with an
apparently certain knowledge of the
commercial importance Of the Island
CT Hawaii and Of Hilo in particular.
Naturally there is a spirit OF rivalry
between the coming town of Hilo ana
Honolulu, but it is an exceedingly
healthy one.
"The good people of Hilo are most
anxious to cooperate with Honolulu
in all matters which might affect the
interests of the Territory at large,
and the Hilo board of trade so ex-
pressed itself at the meeting that was
held there when the matter of an
expert investigation of their civic af-
fairs by myself was taken up.
"In order to foster such a health
fui cooperation of interests the sug-
gestion was made that, apart from an
annual convention of the various civic
organizations, some plan be adopted
whereby the various islands could be
represented as Independent units in
one large territorial organization.
This arrangement would not mean
anliation of all these bodies, but be
more in the line of a federation of
public bodies which would be in a
better position to discuss purely ISL
and matters than would otherwise be
the case This suggestion was made
looking to the fact that already steps
had been taken in Honolulu for the
consolidation of the civic bodies OF

WALTER G. SMITH APPOINTED
AS SPECIAL PROMOTION AGENT
FOR HAWAII ON THE MAINLAND

Yesterday afternoon Walter G.
Smith, of the Star, was appointed to
a position as mainland representative
of the Territory, under direction of
the Promotion body. Mr. Smith has
accepted the place, but will probably
not take up his new duties for some
time. His work will have. to do with
publicity in general for the Islands,
which he will probably accomplish
largely through the mainland press
and from the lecture platform.
While the appointment of Mr. Smith
comes as a general surprise to the
public, the matter has been under
consideration for several weeks by
the Chamber of Commerce, where the
idea was first suggested, and in the
other business organizations of the
city identified with organized promo
ton work. There was little opposi,
ton but the announcement was not
made until details, by which the bust
ness men will provide for meeting the
increased financial responsibility put
upon the Promotion Committee, had
been worked out.
In speaking about his new work
Mr., Smith said:
'I shall be under the guidance of
the Promotion Committee, and --ex-
pect that my work will be largely along
lines of writing and lecturing. Then
every now and then a big scare OF
one kind or another is worked up on
the mainland, in which Hawaii figures.
We have had our Japanese war scares
and leprosy scares and cholera,
plague and other scares, most of
which have little or no real
foundation, but which injure the good
name of the islands It will be my
purpose to do what I can to tell the
facts regarding these matters to peo.
