dated should be held or tied and hung
up to bleed to death. Never kill your
birds with full crops, you will lose more
| in price than you gain in weight. Never
strangle them SO as to leave the blood
in. The best plan is to tie all kinds Of
birds to line drawn from post to post,or
tree to tree, and stick them just in the
forward end of the neck. I'LL.
You may pick all sorts of birds dry, il
you won't tear the skin, but you must
scad them afterward by dipping them
suddenly in and out Of boiling watsr.----
don't scald the legs too much, whether
you pick first or aftsrward. Be careful
Of that. You must pick them clean. and
the after scalding maker them look plump
and good. Some dealers prefer tho
heads left on; we do not. Draw tho
skin back and cut off the head, and theA
lie the skin tight over the neck bone. 1t
is not worth while to pay freight on
heads.
Never draw a bird. 1t is worth while
to pay freight on the intestines, because
the me t cannot be kept sweet long after
they are drawn and the air admitted in
ST e the body.
1t is q practice with some Of The bes!
poultrymen, after ths birds are pluckek.
to plunge them suddenly into boiling wa
tor, and then Immediately into cold water.
This gives them clean plump sppsar-
tancc, and makes them look fat, if they
are in decently good condition when kill
cd. Nothing, however, can make poor
bird lock well, while i'll dressing will
make the best look poor. ..t,.sI
Lay the birds upon clean board in
cold room, till perfectly cool, but not
frozen, and then pack in boxes, with
clean rye straw, about three or four hund-
red pounds in box, filed full, mark the
contents on a paper on the inside, and on
be lid outside, and direct it to your COM
mission merchant plainly, and send it by
express and the invoice by mail.
Never kill your birds in damp dry,
nor pack them, Il you cen avoid it. e1-

No matter how light your boxes are,

CHARACTERS BEcoMISG VALUABLE AGAIN
Several Of the city papers are discussing
(mosty by means of communications from
parties in'erested) the proper salary and
mode Of living for book-keepers, cashiers and
clerks occupying responsible positions in the
counting house, aud some of the facts thu,
eeted are very interesting. No satisfactory
conclusion has yet been reached, but one
thing ia certain, the clerks to be honest, mus,
live within their income, and therefore either
their salaries must be raised or their expen-
sas reduced. A confidential clerk who is
living beyond his earnings, must either rob
his employer, or run in debt beyond the
hope Of aymen.. and the latter course is
hardly less culpa5lc than the former. Many
employers have shown cenSurable indif-
ference TO the home character Of their deiks,
not rejecting that a Young man who has
outlivcd any compnnctions OF conscience
about rolbing his boarding house keeper,
hls tailor or shoemaker, will have few scru
pies about carrying his depredat'ons into
the business of his principal. We have
lived 10 SEQ capacity and business tact placed
above those moral qualities formerly in higher
respect; a sharp man commanded his own
rr.ce, while name for simple honesty was
withou: any commercial value. After
few more defalcations ihis estimate will be
equalized. if not reversed, and good char
ac;er will he more indispensable 10 success.
