 In New York, Lewis Nixon, public service commissioner, said he had taken steps to enforce the fuel SaVn 9, order and it would be put into effect immediately.
 New York $ white light district was abIaze with almost it's normal glow, and in the retail stores and hotels lights were not dimmed to a noticeable degree.
 In Chicago downtown streets were in semi darkness, lighted only by the street lights and lights in stores and restaurants where business was not curtailed by fuel restrictions. Patrons rode in street cars that were unheated despite a. temperature that hovercd about zero. Pittsburgh felt it's first lightless night, due to the miners strike, last night when all electric signs were cut off
 Kansas City's amusements today were permitted to open for four hours a day, 7 to Il D. m., under a new ruling by the coal committee which had closed such places since Dece1n- = Der l.. It was said the fuel situation there was slightly improved.
 While optimistic regarding settle ment today of the strike by the In dianapolis conference there was no let-up in efforts to have coal brought out by volunteer miners in states where that system of production had been resorted to- The swoop of low tenn peratures found western Kansas, where many places had exhausted their fuel supply several days ago, for tified with stocks of Volunteernlned coal. Some places in Montana and Wyoming similarly were provided for.
 At the other mines the most inn pressive improvement was noted in the unionized kanawha fields of West Virginia where it was reported 35 mines were operated yesterday, a gain of ten in 24 hours.

Toulouse. Embden, Chinese, and Afri-
can are easily the most popular breeds
of geese in this country, the first two
greatly leading the other breeds. All
economic breeds of geese are kept pri-
marily for the production of flesh
and feathers, and although their eggs
nre occasionally used for culinary pur-
poses on the farm there is no demand
for them for food purposes in the mar
kets.
The Toulouse, The largest Of the
standard breeds OF geese, is good
layer, producing from 20 to 80 eggs
a year, is docile, grows rapidly, and
makes a good market bird. However,
Its dark pinfeathers make it a slightly
less attractive market goose than the
Emblem
The Embden, a large, white goose,
slightly smaller and with somewhat
longer legs than the Toulouse, is only
fair layer and is usually less pro-
life than the Toulouse This breed
has white pinfeathers, is rapid grow
err, and natures early.
The African, gray goose with a
distinct brown shade, about the size
of the Embden is good layer and
makes good market goose, although
1t has the Objectionable dark pin
feathers. 1t is rapid grower and
natures early.
There are two standard varieties of
Chinese geese, the brown and the
white. Both varieties mature early
and are said to be prolific layers and
rapid growers, but shy and rather diff
cult to handle.
The wild goose Is bred to some ex-
tent in captivity, and the young are
sold to hunters to use as decoys The
wild gander is used to cross with
either the common or the purebred
goose, producing the so-called Mongrel
goose. This Mongrel goose is highly
priced as market goose, but is sterile
and cannot be bred.
The Egyptian goose is small
brightly colored goose kept for orna-
mental purposes and rarely seen in
this country. 1t resembles the wild
goose in shape and weighs two pounds
less in each class.

POULTRYNoTH5
lNMS@s ~ 9aooo

Do not overcro wd the houses, brood
coops, brooder or colony coops.
Everything must be kept clean in
warm weather To keep vermin down.
Turkey hens usually lay about fif-
teen eggs before beginning to get
broody.
POULTRY can endure warm weather
Just as well as they can freezing
weather.
IN rainy cold weather young chicks
should be kept where it is dry and
warm.
Put the brooddr for early little chicks
IN a dry, sunny lean place where there
are no lice or mites.
1t doesn't pay to try to rear the very
early chicks in outdoor breeders I'M
less those brooders are under a shed.
Soft-shelled eggs are often caused
by the fowls being confined, becoming
overfat, and from lack of mineral mat
ter.
Be sure that the windows in the
south side Of The poultry house are
vide open on all bright, sunny days to
let in the health giving pure air
With the advent of warm spring
weather, lice and mites are apt to be
on the increase. Robust laying hens
are generally under the care of people
who do not tolerate the presence Of
Vermin.

Silk Goods Prospects.

A recent dispatch from New York
says during the past month the sales
rooms of silk sellers have been
crowded with buyers from many
parts of the country, seeking not
only additional fall supplies, but also
further stocks for filling in purposes
during the present season.
1t is explained that demand over
the counter during the spring season
in many cases has gone far beyond
the most sanguine expectations of
buyers and that not few retailers
find themselves facing the approach
ing summer season with their mer-
chandise shelves perilously empty.
Factory representatives in this
city, however, have little or nothing
to offer in the way of summer silks,
have had nothing for some months
back, in fact, and jobbers and whole
sale distributors seem to be in pretty
much the same position. Spot stocks,
where they do exist, therefore, com.
mand a substantial premium, but
their quantity is so limited that a
great many buyers have had to re-
turn home without supplies.
The situation as regards fall goods
cannot be said to be much better
Satins in the popular shades of the
season are as scarce as hens teeth
| The run on this construction for fall
has been so heavy that mills have
long since been sold to capacity up
to and through November. Even
jobbers have disposed of the bulk OF
their fall allotments and buyers still
in need of goods for fall are hard
put to find their requirements.
Charmeuse has been sought for fall
almost if not equally as much as
satins and promises to be among
the most popular silk weaves of the
season.
Every kind of ribbon seems to be
eagerly sought. The range is from
the narrow widths all the way
through the intermediate grades and
up to the most expensive embroi-
dered effects in wide widths and
selling at several dollars a yard
wholesale
Manufacturers of both broad silks
and ribbons are now at work on
making up their lines for the spring
of 1920. There are said also to
have been quite some inquiries for
spring broad silks from buyers, both
retailers and cutters, but as yet
manufacturers are not willing to
commit themselves for so far ahead.
Both buyers and sellers seem to look
with considerable favor on prints in
bright colors which promise to be as
big factor in the spring of 1920
as they were this spring Taffetas
are regarded as certainty for 1920
and next in order of their predicted
Importance comes the crepes and
georgettes. From that point on
speculation covers a range of novel
ties and sport silks which are not
yet ready.
