DIFFERENT QUALITIES

Prime feathers are those that are clean and dry. The best goose plumage is worth from 50 to 62 cents a pound, and as geese may be plucked twice a year their feathers can be made a source of considerable profit. Old geese feathers, as listed above, does not mean feathers from old geese, but feathers which have been taken from old beds and pillows, washed or renovated, and put on the market again. If feathers are washed before being shipped they bring from 20 to 50 per cent more than the prices quoted. Green feathers are those that have not been dried after being plucked. and those called musty are the green feathers which have stood for sometime.
 In handling turkey feathers the body plumage should be kept separate and the long wing feathers left by them selves. The tail feathers should be divided from the rest, and it does not take many of them to make a pound worth 30 to 32 cents Turkey wing feathers are also classed by themselves In shipping turkey feathers, the prac- tice is to make bundles of the tail plumage Pointers are stiff feathers from, three to six or eight inches long Dealers make reduction in the price if the feathers are "quilly," that is, if there are many stiff ones among the body feathers.

New York, December 30.-Cotton goods and yarns closed quiet but steadier today, with prices somewhat irregular. Burlaps were quiet, linens firm and more ac- tive knit goods very firm Jobbers have closed a very prosperous year.

HOW AND WHEN TO SHIP

If the feathers are to be shipped to city markets the proper method is to pack them in clean burlap sacks, pressing them firmly. Quills should be packed in boxes. each kind separate If quills are shipped long distances sacks may be used, pro- viding they are good ones and the quills are laid in them straight. Quills dumped into bags without regard to condition do not bring the full market value. Sec that each bag or box is marked with the gross weight and tare. Your letter of advice of shipment should have full par ticulars.
 To secure the name of a feather dealer, write any commission merchant. Feather dealers as a rule make speciality of their business and handle no other product. One Chicago firm sends buyers all over the country gathering feathers from large poultry dealers.
 The feather business is growing each year, and still hundreds of thousands of pounds are being wasted in small quan- titles in almost every poultry yard.
 HOW FEATHERS ARE USED
 Every large city has several factories which do nothing but prepare feathers for household use Tail and wing feat.s IFS are used mostly in making clusters; pea cock feathers and turkey feathers are made into screens for fireplaces: feather boas are made from white chicken feath-

PROPERLY SAYING FEATHERS


 To save feathers properly the poultry raiserSneed only spend minute or two extra each time he dresses a fowl. Poultry dealers and feather buyers alike declare it is foolish to scald chickens, turkeys, ducks or geese, for dry picked poultry brings a better price. Scalding the feathers removes the animal oils from them and makes them compara lively worthless. This is shown by the fact that white, dry picked body feathers from fowls bring IS to 20 cents; the same feathers scalded are worth a cent pound.
 For dry picking the best method is to sever the juglar vein and then thrust the knife blade into the brain. The 1oWi dies almost immediately, yet bleeds We'll The feathers are loosened and may be plucked by handfuls, with quick but gen. tie jerks The feathers should be re- moved while the flesh is still warm, oth- erwise they will stick and tear the skln.
 It is a simple matter to provide bar rels and drop body feathers into one ana tail and stiff wing feathers into another. Feathers sorted in this way bring much better prices. There should be recep- tacle for white body feathers, one for colored feathers, one for the qullls, ana so on. In other words, provide place for each grade of feathers. This VIII keep the feathers clean.
 The barrels or boxes should then be taken into another room, and the feath- CTS spread on the floor to depth not exceeding three or four inches. Inls room should be kept clean and the feath- CTS stirred once or twice every day Tn a week these feathers are in proper shape to pack in bags and store away or snip to market. If the feathers are not nan dled in this manner, and are packed lm- nediately after picking, the animal heat will make them damp and moldy, and, while they might bring some price, 1t would not exceed half of what the good feathers are worth.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1916-12-31
CLEAN FEATHERS SELL BEST

Most of the feathers shipped to thelcity markets arrive just as they were taken from the fowls, but dealers say it is mistake to handle them thus when lit- tie care would double their value. Nearly all fowls are unclean when they are dressed, and if the feathers are not washed by the first handler, they are washed in the markets. The poultryman can wash feathers in a tub of luke-warm water, not too hot, for hot water removes the oil and rubbing them together as clothing would be washed. When clean they are put through rinsing water and dried. The next step is to spread them on old blankets or paper where they will not blow away. They dry best in the sun and have a sweeter smell.
 In feather houses the plumage IS washed by machinery, dried as far as possible in centrifugal wringers, and placed in large receptacles made of wire screening. Hot air from a pipe or cleo tric fans is driven through these screens from above and below, which completes the drying process.
 Goose, duck and turkey feathers should be cared for in the same way as chicken feathers. In all cases white feathers are the most valuable, and, being so much higher priced, 1t is important to keep them sepa rate
