to the extent of one thousand dollars.
These Improvements are to consist
of a new heating plant and toilet ac
commodations on the Interior and a
new coat of paint aiftl othor neces
sary repairs on the exterior. It was
very wisely decided, that before work
should begin, a larger part of tho
sum needed must be in hand to
meet the expense. A substantial
amount has, already been subscribed
and it Is confidently hoped that by
early spring the entire amount will
be forthcoming so that tho work can
be pushed to completion.
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.
