HOW TO PLUCK POULTRY.

That farmer whose poultry is not troubled
with the gapes, that has not been visited
with the chicken cholera knows what it is
to prepare forty or fifty fowls for market,
since the practice of scalding has been vetoed
by the buyers. l have known persons on
market day to 90 out and kill dozen or
fifteen at a time, and bring them into room
where there would be half dozen women and
boys pulling few feathers at a time, be-
tween thumb and forefuger to prevent tearing
them. Now for the benefit Of such, l give
our plan Hang the fowl by the feet by
small cord then with small knife give one
cut across the upper jaw, opposite the cor
ners of the mouth after the blood has stop
ped running stream, place the point of the
knife in the groove in the upper part of the
mouth, run the blade up into the back part
of the head, which will cause quivering and
twitchiug of the muscles now is your time,
for every feather yields as if by magic, and
there is no danger of tearing the most tender
chick before he attempts to flap, you can
have him as bare as the day he came out oft

For the VERMONT FARHER.
is FARMING PROFITABLE2

No one thing operates more injuriously
to the interests of agriculture than the wide
ly spread and popular idea that farming is
not profitable. 1t is almost work Of super
erogation to reply to the charge that the
cultivation Of the land, as an occupation for
the masses Of the people, is not profitable
employment, because it is evident to all who
will look that it is from this source that all
supplies for the sustenance of man and beast
are mainly drawn, The art Of agriculture
underlies all other arts, and sustains them
all. Cease the cultivation of the soil, and
commerce, manufactures, all sciences and
mechanic arts, and even breath itself would
soon cease. This cannot be denied by any
one with sound common sense.
The pursuit Of agriculture as an occupa-
ton may not be as profitable under all circum-
stances as some other pursuit. 1t may be
better for the people of sandy tract Of
country on the sea shore to turn their atten.
tiOn to fishing, than to raising grain or grass,
or for those in mountainous and rocky
country TO make the waters Of the valleys
turn their wheels to transform their forests
into various articles for household uses.
There may be reasons why individuals in all
towns should find employment in agriculture
less profitable than some others in which they
might engage. But with an average price
Of labor, land and implements, and with that
degree Of skill which the land demands Of
all, We do not believe that many acres OF
land are cultivated at loss when the crop
is not injured by blight, frosts or other cas-
ualty. And it the land is well prepared the
farmer is pretty sure Of good crop; he
fails only once in ten times providing he
farms in the right way.
We will not say that farming is the most
profitable of all business, but you may take
everything into consideration and who gets
better and more sure living than the
farmer? Aud again where is there more
independent set of men than the farmers who
raise their own living, as well as that Of the
merchant, the mechanic and the printer, who
are wholly dependent on the farmer, indi-
rectly. Do not get discouraged, young farm
er, when you think Of an old schoolmate who
has gone into store or shop or an office,
and has succeeded in rising to prominent
position just think where one has risen ten
have fallen, and you would have stood only
one chance in ten to have won the desired
prize.
There is place in the world for US all,
and it is our duty to fill this place to the
best of our ability when once found, and ey-
cry one has natural inclination for some
kind Of business; some are natural mechanics,
others are better fitted for merchants, others
for lawyers, and 1t is the duty Of parents to
mark all these natural abilities and educate
their children accordingly. But we are
straying from the subject and will close.

LIME ON LAND.

II, Crothers, West Charlton, N. Y, writes
to the New York Farmers Club his expert
encc with lime In the west part of Sara.
toga County for the last half century, lime
for farming has been quite generally used.
The soil of our section is loan, interspersed
with coarse sand, and sometimes small por-
tions of clay. We are what might be called
small farmers, the amount Of land owned by
each cultivator varying from 90 to 200
acres, and would average about 100 acres to
each farmer; and we generally pursue what
is called mixed husbandry. We have val
liable quarries of blue limestone, and several
lime-kilns, which hold from 400 to 600
bushels Of lime.
l came into possession Of the farm that |
now occupy in the spring of 1881. 1t had
been rented to various individuals for lS years;
the soil impoverished by continual plough
ing could not raise 500 pounds of hay to the
acre. The second year put on 25O bushels
Of lime upon two and half acres, and upon
the other part Of the field Of two and half
acres, forty loads of barn manure. On the
18th of September, after the ground was
prepared, the quick-lime was scattered upon
the top, and alsO. the manure was spread up.
on the other part of the field, and upon that
part Of the lot that had been lined the crop
was One-iourth greater than upon that part
that had been manured, The next year
sowed with barley and seeded, On that part

Of the field lined, the straw grew strong and
bright, and in no way injured by worms
the grain was heavy and bright, and one
sixth more bushels than upon the other part
Of the field and for number Of years the
difference was decidedly in favor Of the lined
part. Soon after l built lime-kiln upon the
farm, and every year up to 1872, have used
from two to four hundred bushels Of lime.
L have used it in various ways, but |
think the correct way is to draw from the
kiln in the shell, throw in pile in the field,
aud let it remain until it is all Stacked, then,
after the ground is plowed and narrowed,
load into wagon, and with a shovel scatter
as evenly as possible, at the rate of fifty to
seventy-fve bushels Of stone lime to the acre.
While many of my neighbors are com.
planning Of the destruction done by the worms
have not lost one bushel Of corn, or any
other kind of grain, in twenty years by
worms. On land that has been well lined
the crops will not be disturbed by such troub-
lesome customers as grubs or wire-worms.
We consider it very valuable as entering in
to the straw, keeping the clean, bright color,
and also producing, heavier grain.
From the closest observations that have
been able to make in the use of lime for for
ty years, think the beneficial effects have
been seen upon land that has had fifty BUSH
els to the acre from sixteen to eighteen years.
1t enlivens, changes, and warns up cold
land, and is peculiarly well calculated to
produce large crop of clover-and after
that crop never fail in getting good crop
Of corn.
have sold a good article of stone lime at
the rate Of $40 per 100 bushels at the kiln
but now with the increased amount of wages
to laborers, it cannot be afforded burned
with wood) at less than Sl8 per 100 BUSH
els. But at that rate, taking into account
the various beneficial effects, and the great
durability Of lime in the soil it cannot be
doubted but that it is far cheaper than any
artificial manures that can be obtained in
the market. The most economical way is to
take muck and make compost. Take two
parts of good vegetable muck with one part
Of anslacked lime and throw in pile. and
soon the lime will warm up the muck; then
draw aud spread just before the last harrow
ing. The same land that formerly got on
y about 600 to 1000 pounds of hay to the
acre from, now can, on an average, get
two tons. think the increase is owing to
the use of lime.-Michigan Farmer.

sMAP OF THE FARM.

Nothing will so much conduce to the adop.
tion of system of working the farm as a
well prepared map, hung where the farmer
can see it every day. 1t will be sure to set
him to thinking and planning how best to
pitch his crops, and how best to work to save
work. And once the farmer adopts system
of farming, he starts on the road to success
1t matters not that the system is not the best
that could be devised, so long as it is a sys-
TEN it is indefinitely to be preferred to the
hap-hazard practice of many farmers, We,
therefore, advise every reader who owns a
farm to make at once, or have made, map
of it, and hang it up where he can see it ev-
cry day. And having made it, study it

LIME AND SALT.

Prof. johnson recommends for fertilizing
purposes to mix one bushel of salt and two
bushels of dry lime under cover, and allow
the mixture to docompOss gradually, thus
forming chemical union. For this purpose
the mixture should be made six weeks before
use, or still better, two Or three months, the
heap being turned over occasionally. This
salt and lime mixture, when applied at the
rate of 20 or 80 bushels per acre, forms an
excellent top-dressing for many crops. 1t
acts powerfully on the vegetable matter of
soils Sc bushels applied to turnips have
produced as large crop as barnyard ma
nure. 1t is destructive to grubs and insects
in the soil. Like salt, it attracts moisture
from the air, and is useful against drouth.
Its decOmpOsiDg power is remarkable, and if
3 or A bushels are mixed with load Of muck
the latter will be thoroughly powdered

SUGAR MAKING AGAIN.

Though | am a " female woman" as Fan
ny Fern used to say, | read with great pleas
ure the pages of the FARMER, and like it the
best Of any agricultural weekly have ever
read. have been interested in the various
articles relative to sugar making, and would
like to say few words about the matter.
One week ago last Tuesday, the first day
of April, our men began to tap our sugar
orchard, consisting of fourteen hundred trees,
lying in two bodies about ninety rods apart.
BY the next Monday night they had made
sugar and sirup to the amount of one thou
sand pounds, pretty good record for FIVE
days. Since then sap has run but very little,
and the prospect is now for small supply Of
sugar this season. The snow was very deep
to commence with,-though not nearly so
deep as it was four years ago this SPRING
it has settled very fast and now the bare
spots begin to appear in the lots and wood
land. We have never tried the eVaporator
yet, but think we can boil quite as fast witA
the arrangements we have. We have two
arches, one eighteen feet long, the other is
smaller, containing two long pans and a
saldron kettle set in the back side next the
chimney. A large holder sets close to the
chimney, and a gas pipe runs through the
chimney from this holder, which is regulated
h,t N Ea,o.A 40 thot ,Ba nan hava n atraavn of
any desired volume, and the sap is conveyed
into the pans only as fast as it evaporates,
so that they are always boiling. A sphon
of gutta percha tubing conveys the sap from
the draw.tub into this reservoir so that there
is no lifting of sap. The sugar house is sit
uated in the lower sugar orchard SO that the
sap is all conveyed from the upper orchard
by leading spouts direct to the sugar house,
thereby saving vast amount of labor in the
handling The sap from the trees that are
on lower ground than the sugar house, is
gathered into draw-tub.
Our trees are nearly all second growth.
When they were first tapped some twenty
five years ago or more, the sugar was very
dark colored indeed, but it has improved in
quality as it has grown older, and makes
very nice sugar now, 1t is true that our
conveniences are much improved since that
date but that cannot be all the reason Of the
difference in quality, as with the same con-
veniences we made very white sugar in an
other sugar place less than half a mile dis.
tant. Can any one tell the reason Of the
difference in quality of sugar from the first
tapping and now? and is this fact one Of
common occurrence

HOME RESPONSIBILITY.

y correspondent in late FARMER asks
the question, Which is the worst. the murderer
or the runseller?
BY the way N. l.. d. states the question,
judge she would decide against the rum.
seller. Without joining issue upon that
point, l would say that in my humble opin-
ion the rumseller is not the only guilty party
in this business of manufacturing drunkards.
The appetite for strong drink is very often
acquired long before the victim ever visits a
grogshop. The seed is sown in the nursery
at their own freside. The country is flooded
with quack nostrums in the form OF ano-
dynes, cordials, &C., &c., which are forced
down the throats of the little innocents, until
the system learns to depend upon the stimu-
lants thus introduced, Then the appetite Graves
something of like nature. Hence we can see
how easy it is for these children thus treated
to yield to the temptations that are sure to be
presented to almost every one sooner or later.
Again, the practice of giving them highly
seasoned food and at unreasonable hours, is
fruitful source of mischief by vitiating the
taste and causing an unnatural and uncon-
trollable appetite, thus rendering them an ca
sy prey to the snare of the fowler"
Again, beverages which are in constant use
in almost every community, which contain
small percentage of alcohol, and are deemed
by the mass to be quite harmless, tend to
develop an appetite for something stronger,
an appetite that is not easily got rid of, and
when it demands indulgence it requires more
stamina and moral courage than is possessed
by the majority of young men to say no.
Who is responsible for appetites formed
by using alcoholic liquors in cOOking2 In
late number of the FARMER l saw a recipe
for making mince pies, where to one quart of
apples one-half pint of best French brandy is
used. Now let every family in our land
make mince pies after that recipe for one
generation, and if you don't at the end Of
that time find an increase Of grogshops Of
more than 500 per cent, then I'm no Yankee
and will not try guessing again.
I'm no apolOgist for the rumseller, but
think there is great deal of ammunition
wasted by not understanding the exact posi-.
ton Of the foe. Our efforts would be more
successful if they we're directed to the root of
the matter. | consider the business Of the
rumseller anything but laudable, and would
have all the influence possible brought to
bear against it. At the same time would
have every mother in the land understand
her responsibility. Let us stop fostering
appetities for strong drinks in the young
then may we see grogshops diminishing, until
they shall all die for want Of customers,

FARM CHATS, NO. Ia.

The winter of 1928 will long be re-
membered as one of the most severe within
the past hundred years with no frost in the
ground, and from six inches to six feet Of
snow for blanket for over four months.
Not spot of bare ground have l seen out
side Of the warm side of buildings since the
snow first came Not rain of any amount
for over four months, and not warm and
thawy weather enough in all the time to take
the snow from shingled roofs even on the
warm sides. find the opinion general,
that the effect of the deep and long continu-
ed snow will be favorable to the grass crop
of the coming season, and think there is
good foundation for the impression. 1t is
an advantage to the after crop Of grass to
have the ground well covered during the
b winter. 1t is great protection to the grass
roots, aud saves winter killing. If the spring
should prove favorable, and we get our usual
amount of moisture and heat during May
and June, we shall be very likely to have
large grass crop. Everything has been
favorable to last fall sown grass, especially
that sown early, consequently we may look
for very heavy burdens of hay upon all such
lands. A good many of the fields that were
seeded to grass in the spring of 1871, proved
to be somewhat killed by the drouth of that
year, and last season produced about half and
half Of clover and sorrel. think that all
such that are III good or even fair condition,
will pay for few POUNDS OF clover seed to
be sown this spring on light snow, or while
the ground is freezing and thawing. AS the
hay crop is the crop of all crops it is well
to look close after all barren spots, so as to
have no waste places. There is many an
old bound out field that might be cut early,
say by the 18th of June, and then turned
over, and with few loads of manure spread
on and narrowed in, would grow fine crop
of Hungarian grass. 1t is worth a trial
Why Nor.
BrattleJoro. March 81, 1873
P.S. April I. Since this month came
in we have had just the right kind of weather
to settle the snow, at least one-half, and it
now looks as if we might still get the early
spring that we have heard so much about all
winter. But planting potatoes or peas the
first Of April has gone by, and We must wait
ere we put them in. Some bare spots are to
be seen IN the lots and the grass is looking
finely on all such. If the weather proves to
be Just right after the snow leaves, the grass
will grow right along as it is already nicely
started Fodder holds out well and stock OF
oil kinds as far as have seen, is coming out
finely.

have noticed that there is a large guam
tity Of inter in the sugar this year, the first
sirup made depositing considerable sediment.
Some years there will not any appear until af.
ter the first run. think the inter does not
injure the flavor of sirup before it graduates,
and l prefer my sirup which l put up in
cans to be made thick enough in tho first
boiling. l like the flavor better than to let
it cool aud settle and boil over. Is there
anything injurious to health in this inter ?
Is there really more of it than there used to
be years ago, or have we learned that the
sediment which we used to call ashes is real
ly something else 2 l do not remember to
have ever heard the subject discussed at all

We use mostly tin buckets, and would
