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 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 70 cents pound for pure white
So cents for average white; and 50
cents for gray. These prices are for
good, dry feathers.

Before the World war Russia pro
duced about so per cent of the fax

linens continues as strong as ever.
In the United States the normal
consumption of flax fiber by the spin

imported. To produce this amount Of
fiber about 10000 acres is required

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 flax is subject,
and to procure definite information
needful in devising methods for com
batting such diseases.
About 5000 acres of fiber flax was
grown in the United States in 1920,
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
1t 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. 1t
also transfers the big job of milking,
handling the milk, and caring for the
calves to 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.

Worlds Greatest Lumber Market.
"ChiCagO Is the greatest lumber
market in the world. Since 1890 an
average of over 2.000,0OO,OOO feet of
lumber has come into Chicago every
year. In 1920 the figure was nearly
2,500,000,OO0 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

have been exhausted one after an

erSed greater and greater distances,
and the average freight bill paid by
the Chicago distributor has steadily
risen to more than $12 per NJ feet.
an other words, the increased trans
portation charge on lumber shipments
into Chicago. as a result of the eXhauS-
ton of the forest regions surrounding
it, represents a toll of 500, 100000 an
nually. And while this has happened
there have accumulated in the Cen
trail and Lake states nearly 23,O000OO
acres of lOgged-Ofr forest land which
is producing neither farm crops nor
timber; 22,50O,0OO is the yearly tax
which the wOOd-using industries and
home builders, supplied through Chica-
go, pay for the ideness of a large part
of the soil in the surrounding states
which should furnish the natural sup
ply for this district. This sum would
plant every year 100000 acres of
land with forest trees.

If your poultry is to be healthy, COM
Portable, contented, it will be neces-
sary to provide house having plenty
of fresh air (but no draft, dryness,
sunlight, and space enough to move
around without trouble. No particu-
lar style of house is adapted to any
section Of the country. One that gives
satisfaction in Maine is likely to do all
right in Texas or California, but, quite
naturally, more openly built and con-
sequently less expensive houses will
serve in the South.
Good drainage, so that the floor and
yard will be dry, is indispensable,
which means that the site should be
chosen carefully. Don't set the house
in pocket or hollow where cold air
settles. Try to remember, too, before
you decide the question of location
that the site will have much to do
with convenience in management. A
house that isn't easy to reach is likely
to receive less care and attention chan
If it had been built with this idea in
mind.
You can keep more birds on small
floor area under the colony plan than
with the intensive system, where the
colony plan is used in a mild climate,
and the hens have free range most Of
the year. Colony houses on runners,
holding 30 to 70 hens, are about as
large as can be moved easily, but larg-
er numbers can be kept in one flock
in long house. Flocks of 60 to $50
are well adapted to the average condi-
tons for producing eggs. Large num-
bers require less labor, fewer fences,
and lower house cost than small
flocks, but there is greater chance for
disease, and the individual hen re-
ceives less attention.
The cost of housing poultry depends
upon many conditions. such as price
of lumber style Of house, amount of
floor space allowed to each bird, and so
on.
Roosts usually are placed next to the
end or back walls, to 10 inches above
the dropping boards, which should be
to 218 feet above the floor All the
roosts should be on the same level; 9TH
erwise the birds will crowd and fight
to get on the highest roost. Scantling
by inches or by inches, with
the upper edges rounded off, will do
for roOsts with either the wide or mar
row surface up. Allow 7 to 10 inches
roost space to the fowl, according to
the size Of the birds. Roosts should
be placed Is inches apart, but the out
side ones may be within 10 inches Of
the edge of the dropping boards
Nests may be placed under the drop
ping boards, on partition walls or in
any convenient place where they do

1000, 100000 and 5,0O0,0OO,0OO feet of
timber in furniture factories, agricul-
tural implements, wood-turning estab-
lishments and other wood-using indus
tries. Sawmills are excluded from
this estimate, also the requirements
for general construction and housing
and the consumption of lumber on
farms. The manufacturers referred to
represent an invested capital of $780,
100000 and enroll 100000 skilled en-
ployees.
Rapidly Exhaustine Timber Supplies
"We are cutting our timber probably
four times as fast as timber is be-
ing grown. 1t is useless to decry the
generous use which American indus
try has made of our forests. 1t has
contributed powerfully to the indus
trial development and commercial SUI
premacy of the United States. The
forestry problem does not result from
the liberal use of our forests, but
from our failure to use our forest
growing land. There is an ample
area Of land in this country, which is
not tillable, to support all of our tim
Der requirements, all of our wood
manufacturers, all of our home build
ing and agricultural use of lumber,
indeed, an even larger export trade
than at present If that land can be
kept at work growing timber. Re-
forestation has become a commercial
necessity of the United States"

DEMAND FOR SMALL CAPONS
Little Matter of Education Make

Quite Popular.

There IS already considerable de-
mand for small mature capons. A lit
tie matter of education will make the
capon from the small variety, when
fat and well finished, just as popular
as the big heavy capon from the larger
breeds for the very good and simple
reason that the small family often
use five or six-pound capon to bet

1t is always advisable to allow the
potatoes to remain on the ground for
an hour or two after digging, as this
toughens the skin against brulsing
and decay resulting from handling. 1t
also loosens the dirt on them and re-
motes some Of the moisture from the

it is here that all of Nevadas princi-

The first white man to cross the
present state was the Franciscan
Monk, Father Cares, who made his
way across the deserts to California
in 1775. In 1925 Peter S. Ogden of the
Hudson's Bay company discovered the
Humboldt river, which is sometimes
called Ogden river after him. This
river has a popularity, which also ap-
plies to most Of the rivers of the

there was no induCement at this time
for settlers.
The next memorable trip across the
state was that by Fremont in 1913,
when he went to California at the time
Of the outbreak of the Mexican war
1t was that war which in 1913 resulted
in Mexico ceding large area to the
United States, of which Nevada was a
part. When this was organized into
territories, the Territory of Utah eX-
tended to California. The Western in
habitants, however, were left to their
own resources and accordingly organ
lied their own government. Resenting
the attitude of Utah they petitioned
to be annexed to California. They
were closely allied with the latter
state, for it was largely on account Of
tie gold rush to California in 1S49
that Nevada settlements were made.
One example Of this was the trading
by the MormOns in the valley Of Car
son river, to supply the gold seekers.
In 1859 the ComstOck Lode was dis
covered and Nevada had its own min
ing boom. Population Immediately
grew by leaps and bounds and in 1861
Nevada was formed into separate
territory. Later, portions of Utah
were added and the lower part Of the
state was taken from Arizona. Petit
lions for statehood were made but 1t
was not until 1864 that Nevada be-
came the thlrty-sixth state of the
Union.
Though Nevada ranks sixth In size
with its area of 10000 square miles,
1t has the smallest population of any
of the 4S states. Between 1890 and
1900 there was marked decrease in
the population due to the falling off
