PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Many Breeders Follow Practice Some
Time Prior to Noting When
QuiIls Are Dry.

Many breeders Of geese In the South,
and some in the Middle West and the
North pluck the feathers from the live
geese at some time prior to melting.
Some pick every six weeks during the
summer, and early in the fall, while
others pick only once or twice year,
either in the spring, or in both spring
and fall. Feathers are considered ripe
for picking when the quilts are dry
and do not contain blood. Both young
and old geese are plucked. The aver
age yearly production of feathers is
about IL pounds to the goose.
The practice Of plucking live geese.
however, is considered by many breed
ers to be cruel and injurious. Geese
should not be plucked during the
breeding season. A stocking usually
is placed over the head of the goose,
and part of the soft feathers on the
breast, back and sides and abdomen
are pulled. Enough soft feathers to
support the wings always should be
left. Geese feathers are now bringing
about IS cents a pound for pure white;
IS cents for average white; and 55
cents for gray. These prices are for
good, dry feathers.

with 1t in new localities, investigating
new methods and machines, and de-
veloping improved strains of the fiber
fax which are taller, yield more and
better fiber, and some Of which are
resistant to disease and lodging.
1t has been shown that better flax
Is produced from seed of selected
strains than from imported seed, such
as has been used in the past. Efforts
are being made, too, to increase the
seed of these selections for distribu-
ton generally.
A special survey is being made this
season to determine the extent Of dis
ease injury to which fax is subject,
and to procure definite information
needful in devising methods for CON-
batting such diseases.
About 5000 acres of fiber flax was
grown in the United States in 1871,
but the relatively low price for fiber
has resulted in a greatly reduced acre..
age in 1921, estimated at 5000 acres.

cows FREsHENING IN FALL
Il Means Maximum Production When
Prices for Dairy Products Are
at High Level.

Milk cows bred to freshen in the
fall mean maximum production when
butter, butterfat and milk prices are
better than they are in the summer. II
also transfers the big job of milking,
handling the milk, and caring for the
calves to a time when the farmer Is
least busy. Help is easier to obtain
during the fall and winter and more
time is available to devote to cows.
Cows freshening in the fall can be fed
grain and made to produce better than
they do in summer.

able work he was awarded the Brit

character sketches of eminent figures
in the national capital, which the
country is reading with vast enjoyment.
For two years Mr.. Lowry has been
making close study of the business
of the government. He Is given credit
in congress for his aid in passing the
budget bill and in bringing about the
naming of the joint committee of the
house and senate to investigate and
report upon the administration and or
ganization of the government executive
departments. He now wants the peo-
pie of the United States to know the
details of the United States govern
ment, which is their business. He be-
lieves the knowledge Of these details
will make Of them better Americans
and give them better government.
No man not imbued with Mr.. Low
rvs high ideal could have carried out
this study Of the government business
so exhaustively and painstakingly as
has he. Probably he now knows more
about 1t than any other man in the
world. With extraordinary persever-
ance and logged persistence he went
after hidden facts and multifarious de-
tails-and got them. Nothing was too
big for his comprehension or too small
for his attention. At one time he went
to member of the cabinet with the
statement that the government had on
its payrolls, exclusive of the officers
and men of the army and navy, one
employee for each 6S people Of the
United States ten years of age and
over engaged in gainful occupations.
It took that cabinet officer, with the
assistants he had at his command,
considerable time, and considerable eff
fort to verify Mr.. Lowry's statement.

As the result Of his careful studies
Mr.. Lowry has written series Of ar
ticles on the business Of government
income and expense; where the money
comes from, and how and for what it
is spent; whether the organization of
the business side of government is eff
cient or inefficient; whether the gov
eminent wastes the money we give it.
The series is not in any sense politi
cal. 1t is not an attack, not a muck
raking expedition. It recites facts.

BUILD IN FALL AND WINTER
According TO Engineers Money Spent
in Constructing Roads in Spring,
Is Wasted.

The building Of roads in the spring
is opposed by good engineers, who in
sist that money spent at that season
is largely wasted. They hold that
work should be done in the fall and
winter, when the ground is in better
condition and when foundations can
be laid with greater permanence.
They also criticize the skinny manner
in which foundations are laid, pointing
out that subsequent repair bills make
the whole cost much greater than the
cost of solidly-built roads.

NAL industry.
Many bulletins are available dealing
with various phases Of poultry raising,
any Of which may be had free upon
application to the division Of publi-
cations, United States Department Of
Agriculture. In addition to the regu-
lar bulletins there are number pre-.
pared especially for boys and girls
clubs and for persons beginning the
poultry business without much knowl-
edge Of its requirements. A list Of
these may be had upon application to
the same division. ;
At the departments experiment
farm at Beltsville, Md, various ra-
tons are being fed to hens to study
their effect. For example, in one ex-
pertinent the hen balances her own
ration; in another fish meal Is includ-
ed; in another no wheat or wheat
products are used; while cotton-seed
meal replaces part of the beef scrap
in another. Comparisons are also made,
Of the effect of the same rations on
hens of the egg breeds as compared
with those of the general-purpose
breeds. Only simple rations of widely
available feeds are used.
Hens in considerable numbers are
being trap-nested, and matings made
to determine the possibilities of differ
ent methods Of breeding in increasing
or fixing egg production. Matings to
fix certain, types or characters de-
sired in the foeks also are made. No
birds are retained in the flock which
have disqualification that would
bar them under the rules Of the
American Standard Of Perfection.
The results being obtained indicate
that 1t is possible to, combine utility
and standard breeding to practical
degree. Any Of this information is
available for the persons requesting
1t, and the department is eager to have
1t used widely.
Boys and girls poultry clubs have
wide influence in interesting the
children in raising chickens, and in
teaching them and their parents the
best methods of handling poultry for
the production Of eggs and meat.
The department is giving special at
tention to improving the quality Of
market eggs with a view to overcom-
ing losses estimated at many millions
Of dollars annually. These studies
cover the production of eggs on the
farm, and their handling from the
farm to the country store. The pro-
duction Of infertile eggs, which are
far superior in keeping qualities to
fertile eggs. is being advocated.

Is sh0veled into the washing
machines, where the dirt is sep
arated from the rough diamonds
and other large mineral sub
stances. The mixture of miner
ais remaining Is known as "con-
centrates."
It was formerly necessary to
60 carefully over these concen-
trates to pick out the garnets
and many other foreign SUBJ
stances, until nothing remained
but the rough diamonds. This
was a slow and laboriOus opera
ton, but It was an essential
part Of the mining industry un-
til 1t was superseded not so
many years ago.
Among the employees In the
sorting room was a youth by
the name Of Kersten, who went
quietly to work to find a way
to separate the diamonds from
other stones more quickly and
more easily than could be done
by the slow process Of hand
picking. He was not discour-
aged by his many failures to
find that way.
One day by the merest chance
the boy made the discovery he
was seeking. A rough diamond
and a garnet happened to be
lying on a small board on the
bench where he was working.
He raised one end Of the board.
The garnet slipped of, but the
diamond remained. He found
that there was a coating of
grease on the board that had
retained the diamond, but not
the garnet.
The boy procured a wider
board, coated the side Of 1t with
grease, and dumped a few hand
fuls Of concentrates on 1t.
Then he found that, by holding
the board in slightly inclined
position and vibrating it, all the
concentrates except the dia-
monds moved to the. lower end
and fell off, while the diamonds
remained in place.
Then the boy invented a ma
chine by which his discovery
might be utilized. Considerable
study was required to perfect
1t, but at last the machine was
completed, and the diamond
magnates were invited to wit K
ness the new method Of separat- I
ing diamonds from the rest of
the concentrates.
The invention was an entire
success. A more simple and
complete device for saving time, 1
labor, and loss Of diamonds
could not be imagined. The
entire work Is now done by ma
chlnery, Manipulating has been
