cess of preparing turkey The one is dry picked, while the other is scalded
 It is usually possible to market all the goslings simultaneously. In those sec tons where goslings are relieved of thelr ripe feathers periodically (every seven weeks), fattening is noted to hold close relation to feathering. The fullfledged goose is most independent with lean appetite; when denuded of its plumage 1t becomes ravenous. The dual process of feathering and fattening proceeds rap idly Hence, the practice of putting goslings in the fattening pen one week after the final picking. In four or five weeks they are full-plumaged and rolling in fat. Held longer they lose condition.
 The stage of feathering has an intimate bearing upon the attractive dressing of a goose When it is heavy and the new crop fully grown, is the propitious period Before or after this a crop of pin-featn- CTS must be reckoned with, and it is these myriads of tiny, downy points that mar the dressed product
 Water and corn should be removed from the pen the night before. Geese are killed similarly to turkeys, one to each picker. When dead. the wings are cut off at the first joint and an experienced person scalds each in tank or boiler A good method is to immerse it three times briefly allowing the water to satu- rate the only plumage. After it has been wrapped in burlap bag and allowed 10 steam a minute or two, the picker De- gins to clean breast. back and neck, In turn.

City Ownership Made Good

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
 Municipal ownership did not win its fight in San Francisco without a strug- gle It is not difficult for even very young pershons to remember the weighty arguments used to discourage the talk ing over of the Geary Street electric line. One argument was that the road would be certain (to be mismanaged, since it was a municipal enterprise and all municipal enterprises are doomed to be mismanaged, that it would fail to pay expenses, and that the taxpayers would have to make good an annual deficit. Now the success of the city lines is so generally taken for granted that the yearly reports of net profits create no surprise.
 Because the feat has been quietly ac complished the man In the street-or rather in the street car-does not mar vel that his transportation managers have been able to meet all operating ex- penses, all overhead charges, and all al lowances for depreciation, and still leave nearly $200, 900 in the cash register.
 But his silent acceptance of the gift of honest transportation does not repre- sent apathy. If anybody tried to take the municipal roads away from the city his roar of indignation would be heard across the continent. This is the way new ideas make their way in the world first to be fought over, then to be in- stalled under the pressure of a majority. and finally to be cheerfully accepted by everyone as an every day matter of course, like sunrise and breakfast.

ginner's luck had slightly flock of turkeys was to find that they had failed to classify In spite of care in dressing. She learned that upon their arrival the fowls had discolored breasts. The crops, distended with food, had soured, an uninviting spectacle for would-be pur- chasers. Turkeys more than any other fowls require this precaution. They should be penned without food or water at least 12 hours before killing.
 After carefully winnowing his flock, tho raiser can still defeat his object by careless dressing. Skinned and torn fowls, chafed from rough handling, pep pered with pin feathers, escape the des-

FLAX-GRoWING EXPERIMENT SUCCESSFUL

An examination of the flax mill at the penitentiary
gives evidence that the faxgrowng experiment in Ore
gon will net prove failure The plant is one Of the
most complete to be found in this country and it is doing
excellent work. giving employment to seventy convicts in
all departments exclusive Of those employed in outdoor
work in connection with the industry. Fiber of several
grades some Of it of very fine quality being turned out
and baed for shipment to the manufacturers who have
contracted fos it.
While some mistakes have been made in the manage
ment of the flaXgrowng experiment because men fam
lar with all the details of the industry are very hard to
secure in this country there seems doubt that the
work has been carried forward in good faith and that it
has proven success In short it has established the fact
that Oregon is aXgrowing state and that will prove
a very profitable crop in the future Last year the state
paid the farmers $4,000 for their crop and have 900
under contract for this year. which is all was thought
expedient to handle although a much larger acreage
might have been secured The experience of the past
year will prove valuable in the handling of the crop this
year and there is little doubt but the growers and the
state will both find the business profitable.
The initial mistakes have not been serious and no
doubt great deal of the criticism nduged in has been
iltimed when all the circumstances surrounding such an
experiment are taken into consideration There is no
doubt that we have in this state enterprise the begin
ming of great and profitable industry in the Willamette
