CIVIL SERVICE REPoRT.-The report of
chief Examiner Il. o. Graves TO The Civil
Service Commission has Just been printed,
and contains some interesting facts. Since
the rules went into effect, 1S4 examinations
have been held by the boards in Washing
ton; 10 vacancies were filled, and 3sl7
candidates examined. The Examiner says
that all these examinations for admission
have been Of simple, practical character,
and arc kept wholly within the bounds of
a common school education. They give no
justification TO the common assertion that
the system gives to college bred men an adj
vantage over those of humber schooling.
The competitive system, IL Is maintained, Is
much mere effective than the old system OF
personal selection ip securing n high order
Of such qualifications, for two reasons:
First, 1t brings into the competition many
qualified persons whose merits could not
have ben known TO the appointing power
under the old system, except by chance
and second, ii accurately tests the relative
qualifications of the competitors. This re-
lates more particularly to examinations for
admission. Concerning competition for
promotion the testimony Is less favorable,
although the greater weight of opinion is
in its favor. The tone of the service is I'M
questionably improving. Each man feels
that his promotion depends chiefly upon
his own efforts, and not upon the weight Of
his political influence nor the degree of his
own subserviency, and is melted 10 extond
his knowledge, especially Of the duties of
the office, on which his advancement chief
~ depends. With regard TO the general
success Of the reform, Tie Chief Examiner
well says that the true test to apply to it is
to compare its results, not with the imag-
mary results Of theoretically perfect sys-
TEN, but with the actual, notorious results
Of the system which it has TO some extent
su2planted. Judged by this standard, even
the inadequate trial which has been accord
ed to it has demonstrated its great advant-
ages.

TIE ILLINOIS FARMERS IN POLITICS.
The recent meeting of the Advisory Com
Illinois, at Bloomington, was interesting
and important, chiefly on account of the
expressed purpose OF the farmers to enter
State politics and make independent nom
nations. There were sixty-fye delegates
present, representing tilty-two counties.
They claim the political support of two
hundred thousand voters, which is consid-
cradle more than majority of the voting
population of the State. After cousidera-
biz discussion it was decided to call con-
vention to meeta Springfield June 10, and
the basis of representation fixed upon was
one delegate Tor every five thousand of the
population.

DIRECTIONS FOR DRESSING, PACKING, AND
FORWARDING POULTRY TO THE NEW
YORK MARKET.
First, see that all poultry is well fat
tened, as the difference in price in our
market between fat and poor poultry is
very great. Remember that you not
only get pay for every pound your poul-
try gains in fattening, but by improv-
ing the quality you gain from oDe-fourth
to one-half in price on the whole
In fattening poultry it is always the
best economy to feed all they will eat
Poultry fattened on corn is yellower and
better than that fed on buckwheat or
beechnuts.
Keep the birds from food before kill
ing sufficient length of time to allow
the crop to become nearly or quite
empty, as full crops are quite detrimen-
tai; they are liable to sour, turn black,
and buyers object to paying for their
worse than useless weight.
The best mode of killing is by open
ing the neck veins or bleeding them in
the mouth Deface the neck as little as
possible, but be sure and bleed freely.
The head may be cut of, but if so, the
skin should be drawn over the neck-bone
and tied after dressing; otherwise the
skin will recede from the neck and pre-
sent repuisive feature. Most of the
poultry sold in this market has the
head left on, and this is best when the
process of killing has not injured the
appearance of the head.
The intestines or crop should not be
DRAWN for this market, as there is no
demand for drawn poultry, and such
must necessarily be sold for much less
than if entrails are all left in.
For scalding, the water should be as
