From the Genesee Farmer
Dressing Poultry for Market.

In dressing poultry for market, much
care should be exercised to keep them
from getting bruised, or the skin torn,
or in any way disfgured. We have
found that the difference in the modes
of dressing, often makes difference of
from l to cents pound; and this, too
when the one lot of fowls was as well
fattened as the other.
Feed literally for a few weeks before
killing, as nearly double the weight will
be attained, and nearly that difference
made in the price, for the finishing off
food.
K1LLING.-To keep them from bruis-
ing themselves, secure the wings as
soon as caught, and tie them behind
the back. Hang them up by the heels,
and cut the jugularvein, or sever the
head with sharp knife, leaving as
long neck as possible. They should
be kept from food at least ten or twelve
hours before killing; otherwise any
food left in the crop sours' and ma
terially Injuries the flesh, if kept long
before cooking.
DREssING.-Pick them dry. This
may be easily accomplished by pluck
ing the feathers as soon as the fowl is
killed. If water is used at all, do it by
holding the bird by the leg, and
letting an assistant pour water through
the feathers. We find this way pref
cradle to immersing them. The water
will better permeate the feathers and
suitably affect the skin. Remove the
intestines, and wipe the inside dry. If
to be carried long distance, do not
wash them at all, except to wash the
blood from the neck. Draw the skin,
back on the neck, cut off the head, If
not already removed, draw the loose
SKIN over, tie it tightly, wash off any
blood, wiping dry. Hang them in a
cool place several hours, or till thor
oughly dry.
MARKETING.-1f your poultry is to
be sent some distance, it should be
PACKED in boxes or barrels. In pack
ing, use clean rye straw. Do not use
wheat or oat straw, if you can avoid
it. The packing straw should be
bright and clean-free from dust and
dirt. Put in layer of straw and car
casses alternately, using straw suffic-
lent to act as a spring to prevent bruis-
ing, and pack straw closely under the
cover Nail your box tight, mark
plainly what is in it, and to whom it is
sent. a little care of the kind above
described will greatly increase their
market value.-FRYE, Jr.

Ayers Ague Cure,

which neutralizcs this malarious poison in the
blood, and stimulates the liver to expel it from the
body. As it should, so it does this affecting
disorder with perfect certainty And it does more,
rather does what is of more service to those sub
ect to this Infection If taken in season it expels
it from the system as it is absorbed, and thus keeps
those who use it free from its attacks; keeps the
system in health although exposed to the disease.
Consequently it only cures, but protects from,
the great variety Of affections which are induced
by this malignant influence, such Rennittent
Fever Chill Fever, Dumb, or Masked Ague,
Periodical Headache, or Bilious Headache, Bilious
Feyers, Neuralgia Rheumatism, Cout, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Palpita-
tons, Painful Affections of the Spleen, Mysteries,
Collie, Paralysis and Painful Affections of the
Stomach and Bowels, all Of which, when arising
from this cause, viii be found to assume more or
less the intermittent type. This AGUB CURE "
removes the cause of these arrangements, and
the disease.
This it aceompliShes by stimulating the e1cre-
tories to expel the virus from the system; and
these organs by degrees become habited TO do this
their Office of their own accord. Hence arises what
we term Qerlinetation. Time may accomplish the
same end, but often life is not long enough, is
sacrificed in the attempt while this AGUE CURE %
does it at once, and with safety. We have great
reason to believe this is surer as well as safer
remedy for the whole class of diseases which are
caused by the miasmatic infection, than any other
which has been discovered; and it has still another
important advantage to the public, which is, that
it 10 cheap as well as good.

Up in the mountain solitudes,
Beside "pile'' Of clay,
A wight, with shovel, pick and pan,
Stood at the close of day;
His SHIFT and sash were very red,
His nose was very blue;
And though the scene around was grand,
The prospect wouldn't do
His hat-enough, twas shocking bad,
His sunburnt neck was bare;
One eve looked droll, the other sad,
Beneath his unkempt hair;
His muddy jack boots, of all jet,
Were long ago bereft,
And unto them, like unto him,
But little sole was left.
From out his pale, unsmiling lips,
With rank beard overgrown,
Outspake this lonely mining man
In semi growing tone;
While restless his jsck-boot kept
The devils tattoo drumming
''I had no sense in coming here,
I've gained no cents by coming.
I have not sinned as some folks do;
pick but do not steal,
And tho my ways of life are hard,
Ny heart is soft to feel,-
Ny neighbours failings let pass
covet not q shade
OF all his goods, nor OK, nor ass,
Nor man nor servant maid.
But for this last claim no grace,
Though some may not approve it,
Because in this internal place
There are no maids to covet,
Nor sparkling eyes nor beaming smiles,
That filed my dreams of yore;
Alas alas those days are past,
My day dreams now are ore.
oh for one hour, where some ones eyes
Are bright and purely glancing,
And some ones dainty little feet,
To joyous measures dancing;
Where graceful forms are dancing round,
Most potent heart DISCOVERS
None but rope dancers here are found,
Surrounded by revolvers.
Oh for one hour where early life
Flowed passing merrily,
Where youth still hung on low toned words,
And not upon-a tree;
Where friends could wrangle and debate
About each passing trife,
Add meet the fash of wit instead
Of bowie-knife OF rife"
: He paused-he sighed-he gazed about
Then spake-"'Tis all curs'd fine
Oh, for pull of double stout,
To cool this thirst of mine;
But never more Pll taste apot
Of glorious lager beer"

And wiped away tear 20

@ a S Fly

At the present time there is quite large num-
Der of persons who will not be trusted at ALL and
there is much larger portion of the community
who cannot get credit any where, but are obliged
to pay cash at credit prices. These two classes
FORM perhaps, more than one-half of our popula-
ton and there is no good reason why poor man
should pay more than rich one and no sense at
all in charging CASH CUSTOMERS for bad debts
incurred under the present mode of merchandising
If the people will only bestow one thought upon
the subject they will at once see that-paying GUS
toners assume all the bad debts, or in other words,
they take all the risks of the credit system. The
present time is very discouraging for making debts
the obligations of the people now very large
larger by far than the crops this season viii dis
charge. Property of all kinds is continually rum
ming down, and how would it be with Us In the
event of total partial failure of the crops
next season? Is there so blind that he cannot
see that in such an event II would take large
amount of property TO pay a very small debt. Who
then, is SO bold rs to increase their liabilities I'M

has won for itself such a renown for the cure of
every variety Of Throat and Lung Complaint, that
it is entirely unnecessary for us to recount the
evidence of its virtues, wherever it has been en-

assure the people its quality is kept up to the best
it ever has been, and that it may be relied on to
do for their relief all it has ever been found to do
