Many Farmers Wives Prefer to
Dress Geese Before Marketing
Them to Obtain the Feathers.

wings reach the tail, they are ready
for market, If they have been heavily
fed. and should weigh between eight
and ten pounds. Most young geese
from general farms are sold when they
are from five to eight months old.
When young goslings are to be
dressed for market, they are first
stuck in the roof of the mouth with a
long-bladed knife and then stunned
by hitting them a sharp, quick blow
on the head. For dry picking the
picker uses a box in front of him
about the height of the knees, holding
the bird with the left hand and clasp
ing the feet and wings together; he
places the head of the bird against the
box and holds it in place with the
knee. Pick the feathers from the body
of the bird, then dampen the. right
hand and brush the body to remove
the down. Leave about two inches
of feathers on the neck, and also leave
feathers on the wings at the first
Joint. Lay the wings against the body
of the birds and tie string around
to hold In position. Place the birds,
when picked, in cold water for an
hour or so to plump them; if they are
in the water too long they are liable
to bleach and become water-soaked.
They are then iced up in barrels ready
to ship to market

There are many women who would like
to have some definite instructions given

are, at the same time unwilling 10 ask

Any margin over market prices re-
ceived for breeding stock is pure prof
it, and the demand especially for
Matching eggs, comes at time when
the egg baskets are easily filled.
Be on the lookout for dampness In
the poultry houses. Where freezing
is common. close-built houses are very
apt to show condensation of moisture
on ceiling and walls. Too large num-
Der of birds in house will also cause
this.
In either hen-hatched or incubator
Matched tiocks, there are likely to be
some backward, slow-growing, slow
feathering chicks. If the hatch is in
the brooder, separate these backward
chicks, and give them to a hen, or
put them with a younger hatch. A
turkey hen that has no family is an
ideal mother for them.

Goose raising is not so extensively
engaged in as duck raising, the con-
ditions under which they can be sue
cessfully raised being almost entirely
different from those necessary for sue
cessful duck raising. The duck, be-

limited space than can the goose, the
latter needing free range and water,
while the former has been proved to

While the goose cannot protitably
be raised in as large numbers as the
duck, still it cannot justly be termed
Improbable. There are many places
on a farm that are worthless for cul-
tyation that could be utilized with eX
cellent results for goose raising.
Fields that have streams, branches or
unused springs on them could be
turned to good advantage by making
them into goose pastures. A goose On

Young geese are fattened by placing
them in a pen, not too large, so that

by feeding them once a day all they
will eat up clean of a moist mash

Westphalia Community Club

The Christmas meeting of the West
phala Community Club was an inter
esting one inasmuch as it was the thirC
wear the Club has given Christina:
tree to the school children-thirty oi
them. Santa Claus came as usual and
distributed the oranges and candies
and then surprised the teacher, Miss
McGregor, by several gifts from friends
who in this way evidenced their appre-
citation of her work in the school, and
in the club as chairman of the Recrea-
ton Committee.
The President, Miss Clagett, was al
so the recipient o gifts-the Westpha-
liza school presenting her with soveral
beautiful handk kerchiefs.
Before Santa Claus arrived, and a
jovlal fellow he was, the school child
rem gave a most creditable program.
and everyone joined in singing Christ
mas Carols.
Itwas somewhat difficult to conduct
the regular Club business, owing to the
excited children, and several i'm
portant matters were held over until
the January meeting but the following
committees were named:
Road-Mr. Willie Beall, chairman;
Messrs. K. E. Brown, Plotts, j. v.
Wyvill, Jr., William Mari, Allie Beall,
G. H. Clagett.
ScbooI:-Mrs. Marr. chairman; Mrs.

Recreation: Miss Tessle Beall,
chairman; Miss Brown, Miss Helen
Mar, Mr.. Branson, Mr.. Charles Heff-
ner, Mrs. Wyvill.
A advisory Committee of One-Mrs.
William Beall, of Rufus.
Besides the foregoing Committees del
egates were appointed to go to Annapo-
lis in the interest of the resolution
for the enforcement of prohibition
to be present at the time the Anti
saloon League brings its measures be-
fore the Assembly the following
Club members were named. M. Will
liam Beall Of Rufus, Mr.. F. E. Dupaul
Mr.. Wallace Plotts.
After the naming Of the committees
and before adjournment, the question
of the entrance to the school house
was taken up with the satisfactory re-
suit that practically all the members
present agreed to give work and make
a safe driveway up the hill. Mention
was made of the condition of roads
leading to the school house. They are
not as bad as last week, except the
back road, or Priests road, but there
are holes that should be filled. If the
County Commissioners will give several
car loads of cinders, the Westphalia
end of the District will eventually be-
come joy to the residents.
How about it, gentlemen of the Coun-
ty commissioners?

LIGHT ON PREHISTORIC RACE
Scientist Explains How He Expects
to Determine Age of Ancient
Central American Cities.

Prehistoric ruins in America will
soon be accurately dated. This was
the opinion expressed in an address
on THE Chronological YardStick OF
Ancient America by Sylvanus G.
Morley of the Carnegie institute Of
Washington, before the twentieth in
ternational congress of Americanists.
Doctor Morley'S "yardstick' is the
marvellous Magyar calendar by Which
the ages of the ancient cities Of Qua
temala and Yucatan will eventually be
determined more accurately than the
ages of the cities of ancient Egypt.
There was desultory trading in
Magyar pottery carried on with the
peoples in Mexico, Peru and the south
western United States. This pottery
found among these other peoples and
its Magyar date determined by COM
parison with similar pottery in Central
America may lead to an approximately
accurate date being set upon the cliff
dwellings Of the United States and
ruins in Peru and Mexico, Doctor Nor
ley thinks.
He also told of his researches into
the great walled city of Tulum, in lu-
catan. The walling of city was ex-
ceptional in Central America and this
fortified town on a bluff overlooking
the Caribbean sea, with wall on
three land sides, represents the crude
work which followed the breakdown
of the great Magyar civilization in the
Fifteenth century after Christ, when
these early city-states fell to fighting
their own race-By Science Service.
