Preparing Poultry for Market.

We fatten the poultry as long as thought
proper, but do not feed them for two days
before the day of killing, SO as to leave
their crops empty, for when those with full
crops are dressed the flesh on and around
the crop becomes blue and renders them
less salable on this account. Having put
keen edge on n small-bladed penknife,
we hang up by the legs, to strings put up
for that purpose. We stick them in the
mouth, or rather in the throat, by putting
the knife in the mouth. 1t is best to make
4 deep cross-cut, and to hold the head of
the fowl down until it ceases to struggle,
when it can be left until thoroughly bled.
After killing. the birds should he conveyed
to some suitable Luilding to prevent the
feathers from blowing away, and they
should be picked while yet warm-of
course without scalding, for that makes
them look peaked. Remove the feathers
with very quick motion, taking a few in
the hand at IA time. BE careful while pick
ing the largest feathers that support the
wings. so as not to tear the flesh. Keep
all the different feathers in Seperate
places; the refuse ones, such as the large
ones and quilts may by thrown upon the
manure Pile. willie the other or good ones
should be put i'll some convenient place for
Il ture use. If the fowl he turkey, pick
tie body, legs, and neck clean, leaving the
large feathers on the tail and tip of the
wings. Chickens are, as general thing,
Invested of all ,hoir covering, unless tie
IMPLIES are extra large and finely dressed,
when the feathers are left on the last Joint
of the wings, and then tied in pairs
Ducks and geese are deprived of all their
feathers. Geese are sold single, but ducks
are done up in pairs, and are mostly killed
by being stuck in The neck.
Pucking.-In packing poultry do not do
as some writer on this subject says, draw
and salt them slightly" but be sure to use
Il good clean box. The wings should be
pressed as closely to the body as possible.
Settle the fowls in layers in the boxes, so
as to fix them in their proper positions,
and to prevent any possibility of injury to
the outer skin in transportation. When
box is full, put some fresh, clean straw
on the top, and also in the bottom and
sides, il thought best. Nail on the top
securely, mark the exact tare and net
weight Of the package, address the box
plainly. ship it to some responsible dealer
and you will undoubtedly receive satsfac-
tory prices when compared with current

The Best Market Pears.

If a farmer were to say to US that he
was about to plant twenty-five pear trees
for profit-that is for market purposes
and that he desired a suggestion as to the
varieties and number of each variety he
should set out, we would have no hesitation
in giving him the following list: Four
Early Catharine, four Juliana, five Man
ning's Elizabeth, three Bartlett, five Seckel
and four Lawrence. These ripen i'll the
order they are placed.
1t appears that these varie les do we'll
everywhere, and are therefore particularly
adapted to general cultivation. They are
very Productive, the trees hardy and vigor-
Gus in their growth, and the fruit generally
perfect. The Early Catharine and Secke
are not early bearers, but when they once
commence they SCI lon iail in giving al
abundant crop.
In purchasing the trees be careful to
select : DOL specin have them taken W
with all the roots possible; transplant with
every attention: stake firmly, placing the
stakes at any angle, with the head to thu
northeast: keep the ground stirred TIVE
feet from the stem all around; and allow
no cattle to disturb them.

most cheering nature. For a number
of years past there has been no such
indications of success as are evident
now. The people are thoroughly
aroused and a complete revolution is
going on. I have no means of
knowing whether the opinion of At
torney General Akerman will have
any effect in preventing the Radicals
of Georgia from usurping the power
of that State two years longer and
denying to the people an election this
Fall, or whether General Grant will
send United States troops there to

an election but when the Radical
party are exposed in their monstrous
villainies by citizen of the State in

would seem that nothing short of po-
litical suicide would induce them to
continue. Possibly Grant, despite
his legal advisers opinion, thinks he
will have better luck with his "Bo.

1t will be we'll now to number each
bridge, beginning with that going north
from the centre, /, 2. Centre to south
pole, 3, 4. Centre to east pole, sc.
Centre to West pole, z, 8. A ready
way of doing this is to take piece Of
tin ian old fruit can will do) and, with
a strong pair of scissors, cut out the
figures from one to eight, leaving lit
tie tag to the upper portion of each, SO
as to hook it on to the arch of the
bridge. This done, confusion as to
place is impossible, except to the most
stupid sort OF people, or to young folks
very much in love. And now we shall
go over the course, placing our ball
three feet from the centre pole, and
play at bridge No. L, going North
through bridge No. 2, then to the pole.
which we turn, not strike and, having
done this, return as We went out, until
we strike the centre pole thence from
where we lie after striking the centre.
we start for the East pole in like fash
ion, passing through bridges and A,
and so On, until returning through each
bridge twice, going and coming; hav-
ing turned the North, East, South and
West poles, and having strack the CEN
tire pole three times, We strike it now,
for the fourth and last time, for game.
Croquet players will readily see the
advantages of this arrangement, the
most important perhaps being the FREE
quency of collision between opponents
and the chances which an unfortunate
player has of recovering himself by a
lucky me0t in the centre. This is no
runaway game, but most enjoyable
tussle from the start. Furthermore, by
having the bridges numbered-and the
thing can be done in ten minutes re-
cord can be kept if it be desired to
play rubber. A game consists of
twenty bridges. The number Of
the bridge last taken by the loser,
doubled, will show the number he has
passed. This placed to his credit
against the twenty -four of his adverse
~ shows the relative merit of the play
ers which may change character when
the average is taken of a rubber Of five
games.
The game just described will be
found the game tor ttcO players, and
such game was wanted.-[N York

Who are Eligible to Office.

We believe that the Democratic
party will carry the State of Lou
isiana at the approaching election.
We do not, therefore, desire that
the fruits of victory be lost by cleo
ting ineligible men to office. The
Congressional Committee have adj
yised that no such men be elected
either to Congress or to the State
Legislature. They assure us that
men disqualified under the 18th
amendment would not be admit
ted to their seats in Congress, and
that Senators elected by Leglsla-
lures composed of men so dlsquah-
fed. would also b e excluded.
Moreover, it should be remember
ed that law of Congress Furnishes
with Imprisonment. men who hold
office in contempt Of the l4th
Amendment, and that the Radical
District Attorneys are charged
with the duty of hunting up all
such and bringing them to justice
While, therefore, the best men III
the country are prohibited from
holding either Federal or State Off
ces, those disqualified should, FOL
the good OF the country, restrain
their ambition and patriotism al
the approaching election, and per
nit the offices to go into the hands
of qualified men, even though they
be inferior. The consequence viii
undoubtedly be that inexperienced
men will fill the offices, but W.
hope to rectify matters before th'
next election and welcome the re
turn of our tried statesmen to tn
helm ofState again.
Divested of all verbiage the 81
Section OF the 14th Amendment
prohibits from holding either a FED
eral or State Office, all men who pre-
vious to the war held an eTecNtiU'
judicial or Legislative office, and a

In the last three months in Ra-
pides, there have occurred more negro
killing, stabbing, shooting and knock
downs than ever before in the memory
of man. And the worst feature in this
fact is that it is entirely among them
selves; the poor white man taking no
part in it. AS a matter of course, the
Radical papers have nothing to say
about these outrages-no election cap
ital to be made out of fights unless a
"d-n rebel" has hand in it. The ma
tons wards and Warmoth's pets are
gradually here returning to barbarity
and will soon berduced to few in num-

wAgain we have to record another
homicide in Rapides. On Friday last,
George Clark, colored, inflicted two
stabs with knife, in the shoulder ard
neck of an old colored man Thornton.
The act was perpetrated in Thornton's
own house, without cause or provoca-
ton. Thornton suffered and fingered
until Sunday evening, when death
came to his relief. We have known
the deceased for over thirty three
years and can bear testimony that he
was good and harmless man, and
was the last one in this community we
expected to die in such manner. The
accused has been lodged in Jail. Thus
we have another sad instance of what
we have written elsewhere, that killing
is now entirely confined to the Negro
race,
