PICK FEATHERS FROM GEESE
Many Breeders Follow Practice some
Time Prior to Noting When
Quilts 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 Noting.
Some pick every six weeks during the
summer, and early In the fall, while
others pick only once or twice a 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 70 cents pound for pure white {;
IS cents for average white; and 90
cents for gray. These prices are for
good, dry feathers.

Worlds Greatest Lumber Market.
Chicago Is the greatest lumber

average OF over 1000. 100000 feet Of
lumber has come into Chicago every
year. In 1920 the figure was nearly
$500, 900 900 feet, 60 per cent of which
went into local construction and
manufacturing Industries. In 1900 the
average freight paid on lumber COM
ing into Chicago was less than SO per
NJ feet. Since that time the local
sources Of supply for this territory
have been exhausted one after an
other. Lumber shipments have trav-
ersed greater and greater distances,
and the average freight bill paid by
the Chicago distributor has steadily
risen to more than $40 per NJ feet.
