Prevention of sprouting in storage
is the object sought in handling seed

by keeping the storage temperature at
from 30 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit and
allowing circulation sufficient to elm

GEESE FOR HOLIDAY MARKET
Thanksgiving and Christmas Trade Is
Always Most Profitable Of
Whole Year.

Thanksgiving and Christmas are the
best markets for geese. The feathers
come off more easily If the goose is
wrapped in a thick cloth after scalding
to steam the feathers loose. The
wings and tail feathers are pulled be-
fore steaming. Sprinkle powdered
resin over the down and dip in hot
water, which melts the resin so that
the resin and down can be rubbed off
together.

by the quiet strength that they devel-

weakness which cropped out here and
there In lndustrials The stern CAM
paign of the roads to lower costs, cut
ting expenses In every direction to the
very bone, Is bearing fruit, although
their earnings statements will not COM
mence to reflect those economies for
another month or so. Despite the
gloomy past and the foggy future of
railroads, many people believe that rails
will form the backbone of the next up
ward movement. They believe that the
opening OF spring will bring q revival OF
traffic, which will carry on until the fall
harvest traffic. and that when the final

piled their showing will be far from dis

merican Telephones Statement.

The earnings statement Of the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Company,
made public yesterday was a very
agreeable surprise to the financial com
munity because, based on conditions In
this section of the country. i was ex-
pected that the company's showing for
1920 would not be very good. The New
York Telephone Company, whose 1920
report has not been given out, Is under
stood to have earned only about per
cent. OF Its per cent. dividend. In
previous years 1t was the New York and
New England units which enabled the
entire system to show good earnings. but
during the last year practically all COM
pan es making up the system In the
South and West were granted substan-
tial Increases In rates, with the result
that they were able to overcome the de-
cline in the earnings of the New York
and New England companies and per-
nit the entire system to report an In
crease In net.
