TOULOUSE AND EMpEN ARE POPULAR BREEDS.

pecially under hens, and the goslings
are usually removed as soon as Matched
and kept in a warm place until the
process is over, when they are put
back under the hen or goose. Some
breeders who hatch with both geese
and hens give all the goslings to the
geese. Hens with goslings may be con-
fined to the coop and the goslings al
lowed to range. The latter, especially
If the weather is cold, are not usually
allowed to go into water until they are
several days old. In mild weather
the hens are allowed to brood the gos-
lings for from seven to ten days, when
the latter are able to take care Of
themselves. Good-sized growing coops
with board floors, should be provided
for the goslings, and they must be pro-
tected from their enemies, and given
some attention when on range.
Feeding Geese and GosIings.
Geese are generally raised where
they have a good grass range or pas
ture, as they are good grazers, and,
except during the winter months, usu-
ally pick up most of their living. The
pasture may be supplemented with
light feeds of the common or home
grown grains or wet mash daily, the
necessity and quantity Of this feed de-
pending on the pasture. Goslings do
not need feed until they are twenty
four to thirty-six hours old, when they
should be fed any of the mashes rec
commended for chickens or ducklings.
Preparation for Market.
Before marketing the young geese
the average farmer can feed advanta-
geously fattening ration either while
the geese are on grass range or con-
fined to small yards, but it is doubt
full whether it would pay him to con-
fine them to individual or small pens
and make speciality of fattening I'M
less he has a special market or retail
trade for well-fattened stock.
Geese are usually killed and picked
in the same manner as other kinds Of
poultry. Some markets prefer dry
picked geese, while in other markets
no difference is made in the price Of
scalded or dry-picked geese. When
feathers are to be saved, fowls should
not be scalded but should be picked
dry before or after steaming. On
most farms where geese are raised the
feathers are pluCked from the live
fowls at some time prior to moultlng.
About 1 10 pounds per goose is the
average yield of feathers. Feathers
are worth from 80 cents to 81 a
pound and the picking cost per goose
is about II cents.
Breeds.
The Toulouse, the largest of the
standard breeds of geese, is a good
layer, producing from 20 to 35 eggs a
year, is docile, grows rapidly, and
makes q good market bird. However,
its dark pinfeathers make it slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Emden. These geese are very mas
sive in proportions with short legs.
The bill and feet are dark orange
color; head, neck and back Of dark
gray; breast light gray, but descend
ing lighter till beyond the legs and
tail they are a pure white. This COM
bination of colors presents a very at
tractive appearance. They live to a
| good old age and are easy keepers.

43 VET SPECIALS"
FOR REUNION CROWD
In Six Days Southern Brought
26,490 Passengers to Capital.

Details Of the amount Of traffic
caused by the Confederate reunion
last week were announced today by
the vice president OF the Southern
railroad.
From the morning of June until
the noon OF June s, 26.490 passengers
were brought to this city by the
Southern. This made necessary for.
ty-three special trains besides the 512
special cars on the twelve regular
trains in and out OF Washington ev
cry day.
The return movement began Wed
nesday evening. June 8, and con
tinued until Saturday. During that
time twenty special trains, in add
ton to the regular trains, were sent
from Washington
The number OF special trains re
turning Is smaller because the tickets
held by veterans were good until
June 81, and many OF them took ad
vantage of the period to extend their
visit.
1t Is expected that about twenty.
five extra will be needed for The
return trip of those remaining at the
expiration OF the time limit.

Scents Panic.

All paper mills in the United States
will be placed under Government con
troll during the war. and a request
made that the Canadian government
take the same action, II a recommen.
dalton made to the Senate today by
the Federal Trade Commission Is car,
ried out.
The price Of news-print paper. al.
ready high in 1916. has risen more
than so per cent since. according to
the report. and all efforts at arbitra-
ton to restore competitive conditions
have failed. 1t is estimated by the
commission that paper manufacturers,
during 1916. received over ST.. SOC. 900
in excess profits, and that paper dur
ing 1917 will cost s35.0O0.O0O more to
the consumer than last year.
''The news-print paper situation is
only to the consumers Of paper, but to
the public generally and to the Gov
eminent OF the United States. which
is itself a large consumer OF paper.
The commission has reason to believe
that this situation will be still more
aggravated and serious in the ensuing
months.
Serious Condition In Prospect.
at seems probable that with the
demand for news-print paper Increas-
ing and the supply possibly diminish
ing there will be a repetition of the
panic market OF last year and the
exaction of prices that are entirely
out OF measure with the cost of
production. The consequences to
thousands of smaller newspapers and
to many OF the larger ones. and
through them to the reading public,
will be most serious
by reason of this condition and
because of the vital interest to the
public OF an efficient dissemination
Of news In this crisis, the commission
recommends as a war emergency
measure that Congress by appropriate
legislation provide:
"Q). That all mills producing
and all agencies distributing
print paper and mechanical and
chemical pulp in the United States
be operated on Government ac-
count: that these products be pooled
in the hands OF a Government agency
and equitably distributed at q price
based upon cost of production and
distribution. plus a fair profit per ton.

Eens' associations of the District are
doing, and declared that. while the
associations are necessary to their
respective communities, they could
also lend support to one central or
Ganization, IL such an organization
could be formed.
Mr.. Berberich explained that the
proposed merging OF the various or
ganizations Is in no wise intended to
interfere with the functions Of the
citizens associations. He said that
the impression seemed to have got
fected, the citizens associations would
b. put out Of business, and declared
that this was erroneous. The citi-
Eens' associations are entirely too use
full and necessary TO their respective
communities and to the city as a
whole" Mr.. Berberich declared, ''to be
dispensed with. But they could CO.
operate with the big central body TO
the mutual advantage OF both"
P. T. Moran, chairman Of the meet
ing, was instructed TO call another
meeting as soon as the committee
meets with the committees represent
ing the three organizations.

Helm Urges Consolidation
Hearty Endorsement of the plan for
merging washington's civic and com
mercial associations into one big
body was by Congressman J. Thomas
Helm OF Alabama, in an address be-
fore the Chamber Of Commerce last
night, at the Ellxs' Club.

clared, "and all have the material in
terests OF our great Capital sincerely
at heart. Therefore IL seems to me
It would be well and wise for you
to unite your forces. II you can have
them all under one head, working to-
gether for their common good, you
will accomplish a great deal more"
Mr.. Helm then launched into a
patriotic address in which he review
ed the many offenses OF Germany
against the United States, and de-
clared that no nation in the world
had ever been as patient as the Uni
ted States had.
I'VE are a peace loving people," he
said 1--WE did not want war. We
did everything in our power to avoid
II. Did you ever know q people more
patient? Did you ever see a nation
more forbearingf When everything
had been done to provoke us we re-
NAMED patient. When the German
autocracy disclosed the mailed fist we
sent forward the dove of peace bear
ing the olive branch.
at was the hand of destiny that
brought us into this war" he con-
tinued, "for no human being pos
sessed Of any intelligence would have
done what the Kaiser did in literally
forcing us to fight him.
"The Kaiser threw down the chal-
lenEe before President Wilson. and
the President has accepted that chal-
lenRe. Now we are in this war not
only for a month. or q year, but we
are in 1t to see It through to the nm
ish, and 1t will not be many months
before the Stars and Stripes. which
the Kaiser insulted, will be close
enough to Germany for him to see
those stars and feel the stripes"
TeILs of spIea-
Mr.. Helm told his auditors that
Washington is filled with German
spies, and that practically every
other large city in America is In the
same FIX. He predicted that the time
is not far distant when these enemies
of the country will have to face fir-
ing squads. He referred to the eff
forts of the pacifists, and said that
many of these, while pretending to
have the interests OF America sincere
ly at heart, are travelling about the
country and preaching disaster and
the horrors OF war in an effort to
Americans and make them
fear the Kaiser.
Last nights meeting was the first
regular meeting Of the Chamber of
Commerce since the 700 new mem
bers who were recently brought into
the organization, were elected, and
many OF these were present, includ-
ing q number of women.
On motion OF P. T. Moran a vote
of thanks was given to the member
ship committee and the hundred or
more volunteer workers of the Cham
Der who helped enroll the new mem
bers. Mr.. Moran declared that he
had looked over the list of new men,
bers, and was surprised that the
Chamber OF Commerce had existed so
long without enrolling these promi-
nent and useful men among its work
ers.
Justice William Hltz, OF the Dis
trict Supreme Court, was elected an
honorary member.
A. NJ Fisher, chairman of the com
mittee on transportation, was au'
authorized to make an Investigation
into local transportation facilities

ACCEPTING the Inevitable.

A man is known by the manner In
which he accepts the inevitable. The
wisest and happiest man is the one
who looks into the future and discerns
the 1nevita BILE at the greatest distance.
Such man then goes out, meets the
inevitable at least halfway, slaps 1t on
the back, takes it by the hand, en-
velops it with his aura and asks 1t to
stay to lunch.
The miserable of earth are those who
are continually trying to dodge the In
evitable. Perhaps they shut their eyes
when they hear that 1t is expected, or
oftentimes they jump into bed and pull
the clothes over their heads. The mad
houses are full of people who have
quarreled with the inevitable so much
that neither polite society nor impolite
will have anything more to do with
them. Some of them will not admit
that there is such thing as an inevita-
BILE even after it has come and gone.
The first lesson parents should teach
their children is that whenever any
one wants to give them the inevitable
they should accept it instanter.-Life.
