CHARCOAL AND TAINTED MEAT.-A
Connecticut lady says:
"Some chickens during the recent
warm weather, had become slightly
tainted. These were stuffed With
freshly heated charcoal, and IN
twelve hours were as sweet and
fresh as could be desired, not leav-
ing the least disagreeable odoI or
flavor. Shortly after, on examining
some fresh pieces of pork, and fear
ing that they could not be preserv-
ed until it was convenient to cock
them, she packed them in pan OF
powdered charcoal, and thus kept
them with complete success.

FROM HOME 1t is stated in CONVEX
sation that Turkeys VIII not leave
the yard in which they are put; if
a strip Of red flannel is tied around
the wing, long enough to trail on
the ground. The receipt is simple
and easily tried. and, if effective,
would prove of benefit in removing
a source of much loss and annoy

vanity of the fowl is probably affec-
