KILLING PoULrRY-Themod followed
by all dealers is to break the neck This
method has the following advantages
Death is very speedy; it is clearly and
less revolving; and it is certain the bird
eats better than when all the blood is
drained. The manner is thus: The bird
| is taken by the legs and wings in the left
| hand, while the head is held in the right,
| the body and neck being stretched to their
extreme length; the head is then bent
backwards and pulled at the same time
| Dislocation takes place, and the body is
held in the same position two or three
minutes for the blood torun into the neck.
Then, and not before, plucking should
begin Poultry Ctronacle. $
How MUcH.--How much better is
your farm than it was one year ago? How
much better are your implements? How
much more lovely have you made your
home by the planting of trees and shrubs!
How much have you added to the value OF
your property by the planting Of orchard
trees and small fruits How much better
! is your stock of horses, Of sheep, OF cat
tie? How much of error have you discov'
cred in your mode of treatment of the diff
ferent crops you have grown? How
much have you learned from your neigh
bors, from your agricultural papers, from
| your experience in relation to your farm
operations {? How much have you done
to aid your wife and daughters in their
household duties by furnishing them with
improved household utensils and the better
location and arrangement of wells, cisterns
walks, wood piles, cellars and dairy rooms
How much of kindness and charity hav'
you exercised toward the needy and help
less? Howmuch better husband, father
brother, man are you than you were on
I year ago? Now is the time to reflect upoi
all these things.-PrGlTSe Farmer. <
