SEES WEALTH IN GEESE. Figures 9330,700 as Three Years Profit on $300 Capital. Coincidental with the departure for New York of E. J. Troy and United States Immigration Inspec tor Dunn to study tho best methods of attracting desirable Immigrants to Missouri, the Business Men's League has received from a Mis souri promoter, whose name Is withheld, a prospectus for the es tablishment ot a goose farm in this Btate, says a St. Louis, Mo., corres pondent of the Boston Herald. The goose promoter, In his letter to the league urging consideration of his venture to the end that St. Louis capitalists may bo Interested, declares that with an Investment of but $300 a goose farm will bring in three years $338,000 In dividends from the sale of feathers, livers, meat and goose-bill buttons. He figures that with a start of 300 geese the company will have 100, 000 geese in three years, allowing for 40,000 bad eggs. He believes a half-way Industrious gooso will lay three eggs a week and produce annually three pounds of feathers. Secretnry W. F. Saunders of tho league is impressed with the goose farm proposition' and may lay It be fore the board of directors. Here Is the way the promoter works it out: Three men, subscribing ?100 each, can buy 300 geese as a start er. If these geese do the right thing they will lay 900 eggs a week, 46, 800 a year and 140,400 eggs in three years. Estimating that 40,400 of these will be "bad eggs," this will leave 100,000 goslings, which later will become geese and produce 300,000 pounds of feathers, which, sold at ?1 a pound, would net the trio of goose raisers $300,000. Each of these geese will produce 100,000 pairs of gooso livers at 60 cents a pair, which will bring nn Income of $60,000. 0TAT!
