THE POULTRY YARD.

KILLING PoULTRY.-An exchange says
the easiest, quickest and best way to kill a
fowl is to open his beak, and then with a
pointed and narrow knife make an incission
at the back OF the roof, which will divide
the vertebrn and cause immediate death.
After which. hang the fowl up by the legs
till the bleeding ceases; then rinse the beak
out with vinegar and water. Fowls killed
in this manner keep longer, and do not pre-
sem the unsightly external marks of those
killed by the ordinary system of wringing
the neck or cutting off the head.
In this connection W. wish to impress Oh
our readers the necessity of special care i'll
dressing poultry for market. The difference
In price will more than compensate for the
trouble. Also, don't send in poultry in bad
condition-customers all look for and will
take only fat birds.-National Granger.

EGGs.-There is il vast difference in the
favor of eggs. Hens fed on clear, sound
grain and kept on Il clean grass run, give
much tiner-flavorcd eggs than hens that
have access to stable and manure heaps, and
eat all kinds Of filthy food. Hens feeding
on fish and onions flavor their eggs accord
ingly, the same as COWS eating onions or
cabbage, or drinking offensive water, impart
a bad taste to the milk or butter. The rich
er the food the higher the color Of the eggs.
Wheat and corn give eggs the best color,
while feeding on buckwheat makes them
colorless, rendering them unfitfol some con-
%fectionery plrposes.-Sichie and Meat.

il is q feet well known to farmers that
eggs are so scarce in winter generally as not
to enter into the accounts OF the products Of
the farm, and yet, under certain conditions
and without much expense, they may be
had at all seasons of the year, suflici ent for
household use and some to sell at :. winter
prices.' TO do this it may be necessary to
procure some of the improved winter breeds
Of chickens, but the common dung hill may
be made to lay much better by proper treat
ment. Our experience last w~inter-and last
winter was as cold as it usually gets-was
with Partridge Cocll;ns and Brazilian Dom
iniques. The former laid all winter, and the
latter not until spring, under the same treat
ment. It is not the intention to describe all
the details of a first-class poultry house in
this article, only SO far as it secures the COM
fort Of the chickens. 1t should be close
enough to thoroughly protect them from
the storms, keep out snow and rain, and
clean enough to insure good health to the
inmates. Part of the floor may be covered
with boards, but not all, unless a box con-
tanning sand is kept for them to dust in. A
good plan is to keep clean straw streWn over
. M
part OF the floor. The temperature Of the
house may be kept some higher by having
the south side of the building, or part Of it,
constructed of glass plenty Of nests should
be provided for them filled with clean straw
Or chat. Give them plenty of clean water
to drink, and feed them early in the morn
Ing on corn meal mixed with water. Small
potatoes boiled and mixed with corn meal,
scraps from the table and such things as will
digest quickly, then during the day feed
scraps Of meat as often as they can be OBJ
tanned, say not less than once a week-once
IN W. days would be better. At night feed
well with whole corn, that is slower to di-
gcst and stands by them through the cold
nights. Follow this plan, and if you have
good chickens, you will have eggs all win

VERMIN ON FowLs.-The Fancier's Ga
gettc speaks as follows:
A very important duty Of the poultry
breeder is to see that his chickens are free
from vermin. Sprinkle sulphur continually
over the chickens, roosts and houses, the
latter two to be occasionally washed with
kerosene. II you find the slightest symp-
toms of the presence of yermin, get rid Of
them Immediately. Sometimes, careless
breeders will lose whole settings of eggs
simply by not occasionally s%prinkling the
ihens and nests with sulphur, or other good
insect powder, and the poor hens, unable to
stand the dreadful pests, have torsaken their
nests. A careful breeder will never allow
The subject Of lice among his poultry to
trouble him, but will see that he " has none

BEFORE AND AFTER.-She was at a
party. He had not yet arrived, but she
was momentarily expecting him. The
hum Of conversation through the room
had no significance for her. All her fac
ulties were bent on the front door. Ev-
cry time it opened, at every step in the
hallway, she would start, while her face
would flush, and her eyes light up with
feverish expectation. Then the color
would 60 back from her cheeks, her eyes
would dull, and her heart sink, when
another than he came into the ROOM
Finally he arrived, and took a seat by
her, and she leaned over his shoulder and
joyousIy murmured
MY darling ! my darling ~ She was
too happy to say aught more.
Ten years later and she again waits.

on the stoop; he opens the door. She
springs quickly to the hall.
