'SADLER ASKS
COOPERATION
Letter Sent to Dauphin County
Man Relative to Policy
on improvements

Highway Commissioned Lewis s.
Sadler. who was busy yesterday ex-
planning the IDEAS of the State High
way Department. in regard to county
cooperation in construction of inn
proved roads to delegations and
meeting some of the numerous con-
tractors whom have come here to
submit bids on the first big letting,
said that he had urged men 10 go to
their homes and ask their county
authorities to unite with the State.
The bidding will show the trend of
prices and it is believed that it will
have the effect of getting some of
the counties stirred up TO the i'm
portance of building secondary
highways on permanent basis.
Men from Luzerne township, Fay
cite county, were told that improve
ments on route No. liz depends
upon what the county authorities
of Greene and Fayette do. The
route is not on the primary system.
In the party were Representative
Duncan Sinclair, Township Engineer
Frank a. Coffroth, A. NJ. Jacobs, l..
A. Strensburg and Elijah Croft,
Frank FinSthwait and 3. W. Halves.
or Cherry Tree, were told to get the
commissioners of their county and
Clearfeld interested as the route is
not on the State system. He agreed
that repairs to the roads near Burn
side would be undertaken.
The Department informed H. H.
Hess of Spring Grove, Dauphin
county, who asked for permanent
improvements on the road connect
ing Harrisburg and Pottsville,
through Schuylkill Haven, that the
highway in question is receiving
careful consideration in the studies
of the Department covering the lat
eral or secondary system of road
ways.
L. j. Fellow. manager ST the Leb-
anon Chamber of CommGSce. who
asked the Department for iFSforma-
ton concerning the type of road
which will be considered by the De-
partment in the construction of lat
eral or secondary systems of high
ways, was informed that the only
type to be used on such systems
will be what is termed permanent"
these having substantial foundations
and satisfactory wearing surfaces.

No Trace Found of Two
Men Who Started Across
River in Heavy Wind

Walter Temble, 45 years old, of
Elkwood. and Harry Gramm, So
years old. of New Market. West
Shore districts, are missing after
attempting to cross the Susquehanna
river in a heavy windstorm on
Tuesday night in a light duck boat
Fears are entertained for their
safety.
When the men failed to return
home yesterday morning, inquiry
was made at the machine shop of
the Bethlehem Steel Company,
where they are employed. Officials
there report that neither of the men
appeared for work during the night.
1t is probable that the river will
be dragged for them to-day.

lowed to hatch and rear their young. |
The period Of incubation of goose
eggs varies from 28 to so days.
Goslings do not need feed until
they are "a or SO hours old, when
they should be fed one Of the mashcs
recommended for chickens or goslings,
or mash or dough OF two-thirds
shorts (middlings) and one-third corn
parts shorts and corn meal, with S
per cent Of beef scrap added after the
gOslings are six weeks old. Bread
and milk make an excellent feed for
young goslings. Fine grit or sharp
sand should also be available in wint-
er. If goslings are to be fattened the
ration should be changed to one third
shorts and two-thirds corn meal by
weight, with S per cent Of beef scrap
added, while feed Of corn should be
given at night.
Most geese breeders do not confine
their geese for fattening, but feed
them freely a few weeks on fatten-
ing ration before they are to be
marketed. The geese may be con-
fined for two or three weeks and fat
tened, but some green feed or vege-
tabls should be added to the ration.
Adult geese may be fed for egg pro-
duction on mash of one pound of
corn meal, one of barn, one of mid
dlings or low-grade -four, and 10 per
cent of beef scrap, which is fed in the
morning; equal parts of corn and
wheat, or corn alone, is fed at night.
Grit and oyster shell should be kept
before geese when they are laying and
may be provided all the time to ad-
vantage. A constant supply of drink
ing water should always be available
under protection SO that the geese can
not get their feet into the water. Cut
clover, hay, alfalfa, silage, cabbage,
mangle-wurzel beets or any waste
vegetables may be fed during the win
ter months.
Geese Fattered in Confinement.
Young geese when fully feathered
are fattened in large numbers by
buyers who make speciality of this
business. Six to eight geese are gen
orally confined for three weeks in a
pen and fed by hand five times daily
on mixture Of two parts of corn
meal and one part of ground wheat
and Sifted ground oats mixed with
enough low-grade our to make
stiff batter when water Is added. This
mixture is put through sauasge

and one inch thick, rolled in our, and
cooked like dumplings. The material
is fed warm, and after cooking the
pieces are dipped in cold water to
keep them from sticking together. An
other method is to confine the geese
in large pens under shed for from
three to five weeks and keep whole
corn in hoppers before them all the
time, using oat straw for bedding, as
this material is good source of

roughage, particularly where corn
silage is used as supplement.
Nearly all breeders of geese in the
live geese at some time prior to molt-
ing. Some pick every six weeks dur
ing the spring, summer and early
fall, while others pick only once or
twice a year. Feathers are ripe for
picking when the quills appear dry
and do not contain blood. The average
yearly production Of feathers Of geese
is about IL pound. The demand for
goose feathers and the practice Of
plucking geese appear to be decreas-
ing, attention being concentrated on
the production Of young geese for
market.

GEESE LAY NO GOLDEN EGGS
BUT They Do LAY PROFITS
More Raising Of These Fowl Suggest
ed as Source of Cheaper Meat
Ten is Fair Average for an Acre
Advice on Their Management.

If the goose of the fable was able
to lay golden egg, there is no rea-
son why her progeny of the present
era can not repeat this miracle in a
more concrete form. Goose meat is
nutritious and palatable and not
greasy when properly cooked, and an
extension of goose raising in the re-
gions of cheap land where pasturage
is abundant is a suggested source of
cheaper meat.
Geese are raised chiefly in the
South and Middle West, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Missouri, and Arkansas
being the chief supply sources. Dur
ing the decade ending in 1910, the to-
tai number Of geese declined 20 per
cent, largely because Of the lack of
cheap pastures and the limited de-
mand for goose feathers and goose
flesh. Thousands of acres of native
grass throughout the South and some
parts of the Middle West are qualified
for geese raising operations and
should, if possible, add this branch Of
poultrying to their activities. This
is the opinion Of United States De-
partment of Agriculture specialists.
The Toulouse, Embden, Chinese
and African are the most popular
American breeds of geese, the first
two greatly leading the others. Oc-
casionally the eggs are used for
cooking. but generally geese are kept
only for meat and feather production.
Practically all the geese IN this coun-
try are raised in small nocks on gen
cral farms, some men making a spec
ialty Of collecting large numbers of
geese and fattcning them for few
weeks before they are killed. AS
grass makes up the bulk Of feed for
geese, it is doubtful whether It pays
to raise them unless good grass range
is available during the summer. A
pool Of water for bathing and rccrca-
tiOnal purposes is also a desirable
feature.
The market for geese IS not so gen
eral as for chickens. THIS point should
be considered in Undertaking the rails
ing Of geese. The demand and the
price paid for geese are usually good
in sections where goose afttcning is
conducted on a large scale.
Geese are Rugged and Hardy
Geese are hardly birds and need
shelter only in winter or stormy wealth
er. An open shed or an old barn u.s.
ually is satisfactory for this purpose.
From d to 25 geese may be kept on an
acre Of land, although under most con
ditions 10 is a fair average. Wher-
ever possible the geese should have
free range during the grass season.
Southern plantation owners keep geese
to kill the weeds in the cotton fields.
Geese are fed a ration to produce
eggs during the latter part of the
winter SO that the goslings will be
hatched by the time there is good
grass pasture. The eggs may be
hatched by either hens or geese. Some
breeders prefer to raise all the gos-
lings under hens, as geese sometimes
become difficult to manage when al

ASSASSIN MUST DIE
IS COURTS VERDICT
MAN WHO SHOT PREMIER GLEN
ENCEAU CONDEMNED BY
FRENCH COURT MARTIAL

PARIS.-Emile Coffin, the anarch-
list who recently made an attempt on
the life of Premier Georges Clemen-
ceau, was today sentenced to death
by the courtmartial which was trying
him. The verdict was unanimous.
In his examination today Coffin
declared that if he had escaped after
his attack on the premier he would
again have tried to take M. Clemen-
ceau's life if he thought he might
succeed. He first conceived the idea
of shooting the premier in May, 1918,
when the employees of aviation fac
tories were on strike. Coffin prac-
ticed shooting after that, it was said.
When the courtmartial opened the
clerk read the report describing the
attempt on the premier. The report
showed that Coffin fired twice with
out moving and them fired five times
while running behind the automobile,
to which he was SO close that one
witness believed he had jumped on
the rear of the car. 1t was shown
that Coffin aimed at the seat in which
Premier Clemenceau was sitting and
