Believe Note Will Serve to
Bind Central Powers Into
an Unconquerable Whole

Berlin. Jan. II, via London, Jan. 13.
The German press, although eX
pressing indignation at what it con-
siders slurs on the central powers in
the reply of the entente to President
Wilson and although angered at the
peace conditions. finds consolation in
the belief that the note will serve to
weld together all classes into an un-
conquerable and determined whole.
Papers like the Tageblatt and the
Lokal Anzeiger emphasize this eX-
pected effect of the allies reply and
almost ignore the second German note,
which was published simultaneously
The Pan-German press on the other
hand, gives the German communica-
ton the greatest Importance and halls
it as a sign that the leaders of the
central powers are finally coming
around to their view in regard to Bel
gium and other moot questions.
The entente's specific delineation of
its aims is accepted in general with
relief as finally eliminating all guess
work and allowing every one to see
just what is at stake. The extrava-
gance of these aims, according to the
Lokal Anzeiger binds central Europe
a thousand times tighter together.

POINTS ON SAVING, SORTING
AND MARKETING FEATHERS.

Inc fowl dies almost Immediately, yet
pleeus We'll. The feathers are loosened
and may be plucked by handfuls. with
quick but gentle jerks. The feathers
should be removed while the flesh
is sun warm. otherwise they will stick
and tear the skin.
IL is a simple matter to provide bar
rels and drop body feathers into one
and tail and stiff wing feathers into
another. Feathers sorted in this way
orlng much better prices. There
should be receptacle for white body
feathers, one for colored feathers, one
for the quills, and so on. In other
words provide place for each grade
or feathers. This will keep the
feathers clean.
Ihe barrels or boxes should then be
taken into another room, and the
feathers spread on the floor to a depth
not exceeding three or four inches.
rms room should be kept clean and
the feathers stirred once or twice
every day. In a week these feathers
are In proper shape to pack in bags
and store away or ship to market
II the feathers are not handled in this
manner, and are packed Immediately
atter picking, the animal heat will
make them damp and moldy, and,
whlle they might bring some price, it
would not exceed half of what the
SSSN ASoNAiSiS etl6 WOTIn.
Clean Feathers Sell Best
Most of the feathers shipped to the
city markets arrive Just as they were
taken from the fowls, but dealers say
II Is mistake to handle them thus
when little 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 mar
kets. The poultryman can wash
feathers in a tub of lukewarm 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 a 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 electric 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, it is i'm
portant to keep them separate.
How and When to Ship
II the feathers are to be shipped to
city markets the proper method is to
pack them in clean burlap sacks,

rate. II quills are shipped long dis
tances sacks may be used, providing
they are good ones and the quilts are

To secure the name of a feather
dealer, write any commission mer-
chant. Feather dealers. as rule,
make a specially of their business and
handle no other product. One Chi
cago 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
quantities in almost every poultry
yard.
How Feathers Are Used
Every large city has several fac
tories which do nothing but prepare
feathers for household use. Tail and
wing feathers are used mostly in maxi
ing busters; peacock feathers and tur-
key feathers are made into screens
for freplaces; feather boas are made
from white chicken feathers curled
with hot irons; and pillows are turned
out by the thousands. White chicken
wing and tail feathers and white tur-
key feathers are curled or left
straight, dyed any color or com bina-
ton of colors desired, and sold to mill
liners. Thousands of pounds of feath-
ers are glued or wired on small bases
and made into wings or limitations of
wings, and colored to resemble the
brilliant plumage of the oriole or the
somber feathers of the blackb
Whole birds are made from chicken
feathers because of the laws prohibit
ing the killing of certain birds.
Feathers are also used for muffs,
fans and featherbone. The latter is
made of the stiff ribs of turkey feath-
ers. For decorative purposes the de-
mand for peacock feathers is so great
that several farms have contracted for
months in advance for the sale of
their entire output.

Kaiser Bitter in
Denunciation of Allies
For Scorning Peace Offer

Amsterdam. via London. Jan. 10
The following proclamation by the
Emperor to the German people has
been officially published in Berlin:
Our enemies have dropped the
mask. After refusing with scorn and
hypocritical words of love for peace
and humanity, our honest peace offer
they have now, in their reply to the
United States, gone beyond that and
admitted their lust for conquest, the
baseness of which is further enhanced
by their calumnious assertions. Their
aim in the crushing of Germany. the
of the powers allied
with us and the enslavement of the
freedom of Europe and the seas, un-
der the same yoke that Greece, with
gnashing of teeth is now enduring.
But what they could not achieve in
thirty months of the bloodiest fight
ing and unscrupulous economic war
they will also fail to accomplish in
the future. Our glorious victories and
our iron strength of will with which
our fighting people at the front and at
home have borne all hardships and
distress guarantee that also in the fu-
ture our beloved fatherland has moth
ing to fear. Burning indignation and
holy wrath Will redouble the strength
of every German man and woman
whether it is devoted to fighting, to
work or to suffering. We are ready
for all sacrifices. The God who planted
His glorious spirit of freedom in the
hearts of our brave people will also
give us and our loyal allies tested in
battle, the full victory over all the
enemy lust for power and rage for de-
struction.

Ine ABOVE quotations were Tor June.
The prices are sometimes higher at
other seasons, but seldom go lower.
Different Qualities and Grades
Prime feathers are those that are
clean and dry. The best goose plum
age is worth from 60 to 81 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
so 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 some time.
In handling turkey feathers the
body plumage should be kept sepa-
rate and the long wing feathers left
by themselves. The tail feathers
should be divided from the rest, and
Ii does not take many of them to
make a pound worth 80 to SO cents.
Turkey wing feathers are also classed
by themselves. In shipping turkey
feathers, the practice is to make bum
dies of the tail plumage. Pointers
are StH featherS from three to six
or eight inches long Dealers make
a reduction in the price If the feathers
are ''quiliy." that is, If there are many
stiff ones among the body feathers.
Properly Saving the Feathers
To save feathers properly the poul-
try raiser need only spend a minute
or two extra each time he dresses q
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 comparatively worth
less This is shown by the fact that
white. dry-picked body feathers from
fowls bring s to 20 cents; the same
feathers scalded are worth a cent a
pound.
For dry picking the best method is
to sever the jugular vein and then
thrust the knife blade into the brain.
