Onr Mans Idea of Farm Economy.
From the Rural New Yorker

uses figures in his farming operations.
To illustrate his point, | give his
account of sales for the past year. His
motto is, IF you want a thing, raise
it; Oh if you cannot raise it, then raise
something to buy it WITH believing
it but poor economy to go without any
thing which will add to the comfort

valued friend in Boston, whose time il
devoted to scientific studies. Looking
at the unpretentlous boxes, then, we
had no idea what a fund of informa-
ton was in store for us, and what ad-
ded interest would be given to our
study of zoology by this timely gift.
How curious and brilliant were those
from the Bahama Islands-so rich in
coloring, so delicately shaded;but they
did not attract us SO much as their less
snowy sisters from the New England
coast. How we laughed at the funny

scampering over muddy bays. and found
fond Of attaching themselves to almost
every kind of shell. How innocent and
pathetic looking was the little animal

and sucking out the contents. We

dare say you have them seen dead and

then Judge at all of their appearance
while living. They look very pretty
when dried in this way. Because,
though they have lost all their spine
and suckers, the spots where those ap-
pendages were attached form a sort
of pattern in regular rows Of zones
over the surface of the animal, and
you can trace in this pattern the lines
along which the spines and suckers
were arranged when the animal was
living. The broader rays, with the
larger spots, are those along which the
spines were attached. The narrower
ones, with the smaller spots crowded
closely together, are those along which
the suckers were placed"
pause here to wonder how many
children living near the sea-shore, or
spending part of a summer there, are
familiar with this or any of the other
small animals and curious wonders
that there surround them. And as we
explored the contents of our treasure
boxes. we often wished that we too
might see them living, and study the
strange things that inhabit the sands
and rocks washed by the ocean, which
with every wave throws new gifts at

One of the most extraordinary jul
dicial errors on record was rectifed in
the first week of. this year in Bristol
England. A man named Lewes had
been convicted on a charge of stealing
books. A few days later it was found
that the Grand Jury had failed to find
true bill against him, and had ignor-
ed the charge for want of evidence.
Nevertheless the magistrate had con-
victed him, although he had not even
been indicted, and when the order for
his release, he had been close cropped
and dressed in convicts uniform.
Lewes threatened an action for dam
ages, but his chance of redress prob
ably depends largely upon his pecu-
mary means.

Preparing Poultry For Market.

The French system of preparing
poultry for market by drawing the
intestines at the time of dressing, is
in our opinion for more cleanly than
the one generally practiced in this
country, of leaving them in the body
to keep the latter more plump, as
well as to make it weigh heavier.
TheICanadian Poultry Journal has its
say on this subject, and although we
do not agree fully in all the advice
given, still it accords with the general
practice of those who raise poultry for
market:
Poultry should not only be fat when
killed, but should be properly dressed
and put up for the market. Poor
goods may not sell because they are
presented in an attractive form, but
the best will not bring good prices I'M
less they attract by their appearance.
After the fowls are killed comes the
most exacting part of the work Of
preparation. The skin must not be
broken it must not be parboiled pin.
feathers must not be left in, nor the
down stand out like the first virile
furze on boys face. To prevent
these unsightly and repulsive appear
ances, follow few simple and natural
directions Pluck the fowl while the
animal heat still remains do not kill
at time more than you have facili.
ties for Immediately dressing. The
use Of hot water is certainly essential,
but do not have it hotter than is abso-
lutely necessary in order to start the
feathers. Pick out all the pin-feathers
using tweezers If necessary, but do
not tear the skin. SINCE the plucked
fowl over gas Jet Or the fame of q
kerosene lamp in the latter case it is
sufficient to hold the fowl over the
glass chimney Of an ordinary kerosene
lamp, turning the fowl rapidly. The
work may be done in few seconds.
Some prefer handful of feathers OF
few scraps Of paper kindled to a
quick blaze in the fireplace or stove,
the lid Of the latter being removed.
In some markets poultry is sent with
crop and intestines undistu1 bed,
probably as much because it is thought
the fowls look fair and plumper, as
for any hope Of gain from extra
weight. 1t is preferable on some ac-
counts to draw the fowls. The French

Poultry should not be packed for

The above account will show the va.
riety of products raised, and as the
sales are made after the home is fully
supplied, it will be seen from the va
riety that a skillful housewife could
make out very good farmers bill Of
fare from the list, perhaps with the
addition of pepper and salt. tea. coffee
and sugar, although maple sugar is a
home production.
N. says that quite large portion of
the sales were made to neighboring
farmers, they coming from miles
around, as they say they can get any
thing they want from N, from cheese
and vegetables to fresh fruit or honey.
The item of labor in the account is
explained by saying that N. occasion.
ally does job Of surveying, as well as,
now and then little writing for his
neighbors. But the main idea is that
| it is sound economy for farmer to
raise as great variety and quantity O.
products as he can, not only for homo
use, but to sell, thereby being able to
meet any call upon him, either from
home or abroad, for all know that the
man who always has something to sell
is very apt to have little money i'll
his pocket in case of an emergency.
| Of the item OF wool, must say that
was not all sold, as Mrs. Farmer n.
still holds to the old-fashioned notion
of supplying her household with home

more: n. believes it sound economy
to read as well as figure, as the num-
Der of fresh papers and books upon
