Big Money in Stuffed Geese.

What is believed to be new weight
record for stuffed geese was establish
ed by Robert Schroeder, town of Water
loo, who marketed flock of forty at
WATERFOWL last week. The birds,
dressed, weighed 1902 pounds, or an
average of 80 pounds per goose. Flocks
averaging 80 pounds have been sold in
that city, but w. A. Beurhaus, who
purchased the flock, believes that no
flock of forty ever held such high av-
erage weight.
The heaviest bird in the flock weigh
ed IS pounds, 8 pounds short of the
market record of 80 pounds. The price
was 36 cents per pound, or $432.72 for
the flock
Julius Wilke of the town of Milford
also marketed a fine flock. His thirty
five geese weighed 947 pounds and he
received a check for $312,51.
The Beurhaus firm bought 5000 lbs.
of stuffed geese on Tuesday and 1000
lbs. on Wednesday.
