How to Judge Poultry.

As cold weather is coming on, and
the time arriving for purchasing
poultry for the table, it may not be out
Of place to give few general rules by
which the age Of fouls Of all descrip
tons can be safely judged. In follow
ing these rules no reason need be
assigned by any grocer, much less
housekeeper, for purchasing other than
good; wholesome tender fowls.
TO JUDGE THE AGE OF FOWLS.
Ifa hens spur is hard, and the scales
on the legs rough, she is old, whether
YOU see her head or not, but her head
will corroborate your observation. If
the underbill is 80 stiff that you cannot
bend it down, and the comb thick and
rough, leave her, no matter how fat
and plump, for some one less particular.
A young hen has only the rudiments
of spurs; the scales on the legs are
smooth. glossy and fresh colored, what
ever the color may be; the claws
tender and short, the nails sharp, the
underbill soft, and the comb thin and
smooth.
TO JUDGE THE AGE OF TURKEYS.
An old hen turkey has rough scales
on the legs, callosities on the soles OF
the feet, and long, strong claws; a
Young one the reverse of all those
marks. When the feathers are on the
old turkey-cock has long tuft or
beard, a young one but a sprouting
one; and when they are of, the smooth
scales on the leg decide the point,
besides the difference in size OF the
wattles of the neck and in the elastic
shoot upon the lose.
TO JUDGE THE AGE OF GEESE.
An old goose when alive is known
by the rough legs, the strength OF the
wings, particularly at the pinions, the
thickness and strength of the bill, and
the fineness of the feathers; and when
plucked, by the legs, the tenderness OF
the skin under the wings, by the
pinions and the bill and the cosrseness
of the skin.
TO JUDGE THE AGE OF DUCKS.
Ducks are distinguished by the same
means but there is this difference
that a duckling's bill is much longer
in proportion to the breadth Of its head
than the old ducks.
10 JUDGE THE AGE OF PIGEONS.
A Young pigeon is discovered by It's
male color, smooth scales, tender, col
lapsed feet, and the yellow, long down
interspersed among its feathers. A
nigeon that can fly has always red
colored legs and no down. and IS then
TOO old for use.

The Cotton CrOp.

The Department of Agriculture has
issued circular setting forth that the
cotton crop reports, purporting to have
come from the Department Of Agricul-
ture during the past month, have not
been genuine. rheitems in circulation,
often contradictory in tenor, and assum-
ing to he official, have had no origin in
the statistical data Of that office. The
returns of September include reports
from about i1J cottOn-growers' counties,
representing a very large proportion Of
the cotton area. Those for August
point m average condition of the crop
almost identical with that of the pre-
cedingrepots the averages for Alabama
and Mississippi being the same, those Of
Louisiana and Tennessee being lighter,
aud those OF other Cotton States lower.
The State averages Of the September re-
port are somewhat lower than those OF
August, though the principal deplecia.
ton ocrurs in the States which yield II
small proportion of the crop, while the
reduction is slight in the important dis
trict represented by the States Of Geor-
gin, Alabama, Mississippi, aud Lonisi-
ana. The percentage OF full condition
in the first week of September rs
averaged from all the obtain0blc data,
is thus stated: North Carolina, 8? ;
South Carolina, 80; Georgia, rs;
Florida, 10 Alabama, so; Mississippi,
50; Louisiana, II Texas, 81 Arlian.
sas, 0j Tennessee, 0G. There are re.
pors of injuries by the boll.worn and
caterpillar, mainly in Mississippi and
Louisiana, but no evidence that n general
or very serious loss from insects is prob
able. Rust is common in the Atlantic
States, and to some extent on the Gulf
c1aSt. Droutli has been injurious in the
Caroliuns and Texas, Though the reports
of rainfdlls through the South indicate
fair supply OF moisture, the distri.
button of which has been somewhat
more unequal than usual. At one point
in Georgia the fall in August was nearly
II inches, and in parts Of Florida it
amounted to 90 inches. The variable
atmospheric conditions have increased
the prevalence of rust, and caused the
destruction Of both leaves and fruit.
These drawbacks, though greater than
those reported in September Of last year.
are not sufficiently serious to excite ap.
prehcnsions OF n greatly deprecated
yield. They are reported each year in
some portions of the cotton area. In
the records last year there was consider
nblp COmDlnints of tlnmnnps To the cotton
crop from rust, worms, and unfavonbc
August weather. These facts do not
point to M enlargement of the expectl-
ton hitherto INDUCED in. II they are
trustworthy, the most favorable season
could scarcely bring n crop exceeding
3,3j0OO0 bales. II the growing season
should be short or unfavorable, 3,000,.
900 bales, would be good result and
with combination of unfavomblc cir.
cumstances, the product might be still
further reduced.

Girls Opinion of Newspapers.

Margary Dean, in one OF her spicy
letters from Newport, gives the following
piquant discussion between some young
lldics concerning the merits of certain
newspapers.
Sitting on the hotel piazza the other
morning, watching group Of young
ladies, | overheard n curly headed little
maiden who was frizzled and panniercd

claim, "Oh, l like the Mdependeaibcst r.

who was pclting somebody over the rail-
ing with pond lilies-n beautiful bunch,
by the way, which five minutes before l
had seen II gentleman carefully selecting
for her from little urchin's basket. And
when, wonder do you girls get time to
read the newspapers? "Fold them four

tcnce | caught, and more puzzled than
before, l very impolitely walked near
the group, when everything was made

ing, "I had rather have newspaper

PrrnolruN.-The indnslriaI nses and

PETRoLEuM.-Th industrial uses nnd
applications of petroleum, in addition to
its vast consumption as M illuminating
material, continue to multiply almost
indefinitely. 1t is stated that Mr.
HauScl, architect ut Ncustndt, Grand
Duchy OF Hcsscn, being unexpectedly
in need of some trncing paper ona ccr-
tain occasion In small village, where
none could be obtained, thought Of using
MS substitute ordinary writing paper
saturated with petroleum by means Of II
brush. The effect WIS surprising sue
cess. It did not take him more than
-four or five minutes to paint sheet Of
writing paper with petroleum and to
wipo it Off till il was dry. He thus OBJ
taincd nn excellent tracing paper, on
which he could write and print Just as
easily us il it had not been subjected to
amy such PROGRESS. Dmwiug.papcr, also,
when imprcgnated with prctoleum, be-
comes sufficiently transparent to be used
for tncings. Since Mr.. Hauscl made
this discovery, he las entirely abandoned
the use OF manufactured tmcing-papcr,
prcferring the quality Of the article thus
treated with petroleum.

"'IhCrc seems to he something wrong
about the relations between the Russinn
Court and that Of Berlin. First, the
proposed meeting Of the two Emperors
ut Ems was not held. and now it seems
settled that the Emperor William will
not come to St. Petersburg for the
autumn maumlvres, though his arrival
was looked forward to MS certainty.
There is unusual hustle too, in military
quarters. On his return from Norway
the Cznrwi'ch went straight to the camp
without calling Mt the palace. The mill
'tlry mannuvres have already begun, and
will be more expensive and prolonged
than was Mt first intended. But the most
evident sign OF IL GOODNESS toward Prussa
is the rcapptamnce of anti.Prussian
articles in the Russian press. Last
December, MS | wrote to you Mt the time,
the Chief Censor announced to the cdi-
tors OF all the Russian newspapers that it
was the will of the Gar that all attacks
on Prussia in the Prcssshonll cease. The
