Washington, July 4th.— (Special
correspondence)—To cut down as
far as possible the list of missing in
the casualty reports that are sure
to follow the entrance of our forc-
es into the following in Europe Rep-
resentative Henry r. Osborne of
California has prepared a bill in-
structing the Secretary of War to
provide each soldier designated for
foreign service with an indestruct-
ible medal of identification. The
medal is to bear the name, company
and regiment of its possessor, and
be carried on the person at all
times. Mr. Osborne believes that
such a precaution, while it involves
but slight expense, may well be the
| means of relieving untold anxiety
among those who remain at home
eagerly awaiting news from their
loved ones at the front.

AN UNWORABLE PROPOSITION.
The old adage about saving at
the spigot while wasting at the I
bunghole is likely to have a stern !
application to the Federal Treas-1
ury if some of the proposed plann ]
for fixing prices of war materials
are adopted.
There is nothing mysterious about i
the present high prices of steel, for j
example. They are caused by the im-
mutable workings of the law of
supply and demand. Even with-
out the new orders which are bound
to result from our entry into the
war, no one can now place an order
for steel products with any certain-
ty of delivery within several months.
Wages have been increased, the con-
stituent materials of manufacture
have gone up—and a consequent in-
crease in the price of the finished
product is inevitable.
Along with this there has come,
of course, an increase in profit
which, tho not commensurate with
the increase in price, is, neverthele t
considerable. This increased profit
is to be turned to the government's
advantage by the Imposition of the
socalled "excess profits" tax which
the new revenue bill is to carry.
The amount of money which this
new impost is cxpected to turn into
the Treasury runs into nine figures.
Yet some of the ruling powers at
Washington are clamoring for a fix-
ing of prices for steel products such
as the government will require at a i

BREEDING GEESE FOR PROFIT
Fowls Should Have Considerable Exer-
cise 3nd Be Kept Moderately
Thin During Winter.
Old geese lay   greater number and
larger eggs and are more reliable than
young geese. Nevertheless, if gei-se
must be purchased It often saves time
'to buy young geese rather than to at-
tempt to secure any number of old
|ones. Young ganders ure better for
breeding purposes than young gee^e.
Young geese do not lay as many fertile
<>ggs or produce as many goslings in
the first breeding season as they do in
the second. If geese are often changed

from one place to another tliey are apt
not to breed well, and, other conditions
being equal, they breed better the third
season they are In a locality than tho
second.
Breeding geese should have consider-
able exercise and be kept moderately
thin in flesh through the winter by
light feeding and a free range of facili-
ties for swimming. The Emden geese
lay few eggs but make mothers. Geese
are grazers and too much grain Is not
good for them. To Insure fertile eggs
tliey should have an abundance of
green food and have access to a pond
or other body of water. If this Is not
possible a tub of water set level with
the surface of the ground may be sub-
stituted.
Very early hatching 1s not'desirable,
since the goslings do not thrive well
unless they have an abundance of
grass. For the first two or three days
they should be given nothing except i
grass and water. Latu- a little feed
of scalded erai-ked corn should be giv-
en in addition three times a day. The
goslings are HaMe to be overcome by
the heat, and should always have some
place of retreat where they may es-
cape the sun's rays. The eggs may be
hatched aiiva: •a^.-'.usly under hens,
—but the gosliojni should be Immedi-
ately taken a ay from them. They
may be bro J f- r a slmrt time in
outdoor brooders atjd after that con-'
fined in houses at nigLt.

variety, but the great trouble with tur-
key raising in the United States has
been the tendency to too close inbreed-
ing. The present stock lucks vitality
and stamina, are easily susceptible to
disease, and hence the losses sustained
by those who breed them. Observation
shows that the birds raised by farmers
Waving free range of the grain fields
are the profitable birds. Why? They
get exercise, uncontamlnated ground,
usually roost In trees and get their
drinking water at some branch or near-
by stream. All the causative agents
ure avoided. The present effort to cor-
rect the tendency to weakness in tur-
keys, because of Inbreeding, through
the introduction of wild blood, is meet-
ing with some success.
