Farmers frequently have occasion to
sell turkeys by live weight, and wish to
know what is the fair relative price be-
tween live and dead weight. In turkeys
dressed for the New York market, where
the blood and feathers only are removed,
the loss is very small. For the eastern
markets the heads are taken off and the
entrails are taken out. This makes a loss
of nearly one-tenth in the weight. A
large gobbler was recently killed weigh
ing thirty-one and one half pounds. AT
ter bleeding and picking he weighed
twenty-nine and o1e-half pounds, a loss
of two pounds, 81 one fifteenth. When
ready for the spit he weighed twenty
eight and one-fourth pounds, a loss of
three and one-fourth pounds, which is
nearly one-tenth of the weight. When
the market requires the New York style
of dressing, the price is fifteen cents a
pound live weight, or less, if the labor OF
dressing be counted anything In the
other style of dressing, if the price were
twenty cents, the farmer could sell for
eighteen cents, or less, live weight, with
cut loss. Farmers who never tested the
loss of weight in dressing often submit 10
the deduction of three or four cents a
pound for the middlemen, who are inter-
ested in making this large difference

"There is cheating in all trades but
ours" so runs the ancient saw. III one
wishes to buy a t%rotting horse, he expects
to hear him cxtolled as taking a three
minute gait as a natural jeg--and trot-
ting " low down in the thirties, if urged
las being able, with training, to "do
his mile in thirty" or twenty-five and a
half" as the case may be, but the test is
easily applied. The horse is hitched up
to the road-wagon, and made to show his
speed on the road, or on the track by the
watch. That settles the matter of speed.
If every other point could be determined
as accurately, there would be little com
plant of the jockeys. Fam led into this
train of thought from a talk | had with
a gentleman who has gained no little
fame among horsemen from his study
and comparison of pedigrees and perform
anccs of trotting stock. He is perhaps
better known as "Hark ComstoCk," than
as P. G. Kellogg. Mr.. X. as taken
quite a fancy to Jersey stock, and would
probably buy a few good COWS, if he
could know what he was buying. Said
he al want a well-pedigreed COW that
somebody has held a watch on" That
puts it in q nutshell. In horse-dealing
nobody thinks of getting a big price for
a trotter that has not been timed, but
our cow-dealers brag about their milk and
their butter, about the pedigrees of their
COWS, and they test their entire herds
together, or make some positive tests,
and publish-not the weights but an
estimate. Now, a horse never gets ga
record" by his owners watch, and it is
not fair that a COW should. 1t is time
for us to stop talking about jockeying,
as if it were something peculiar to horse
dealers. | am beginning to think that
the cow,jockeys can give the horse
Jockeys several points, aud beat them at
that, They certainly could if horse buy
ers were az crodulous as those who pay
the big prices for milk and butter cows
especially for Jerseys. Now and then a
COW is brought to a fair test. In a few
herds cows are systematically tested, and
the whole process is open to the inspec-
ton of those who ale curious. A few
dealers are really anxious that a buyer
should know all about a COW which he
buys, and will have her milk weighed,
her cream exhibited, and several milk
ings saved, to be churued before the
buyer, and TO his satisfaction, but they
are far bstween.--Americaa Agriculturist.

An Extraordinary Case.

Ao exceedingly remarkable surgical opera.

rines Hospital, Williamsburg. On Friday.
Angus! 3, 1876, while Dora Conrad, of No. $40
Mangin street, was attending jenny in Water
bury bag factory, in Bushwick, her hair, which
was hanging loose, caught 10 one Of the splnd.
les. and in an Instant the hair and scalp on one
side of her head were torn out. 1t was done
so quickly that she only felt tug. The over.
seer took her to St. GATHERINGS Hospital, Oh
Bushwick avenue, where the doctors said they
could not do anything for her. Two days after
the physician in charge said. u can save her,
and if she can stand the operation can Civ,

The operation of transplantatlon OF skin Is
an exceedingly delicate one, and has been but
recently introduced into surgery as remedy ID

Two pieces from Dora's own arm, and,
cutting them iu small pieces, grated them on
the perioseum, about quarter OF 50 Inch

from the line of the lower edge Of the wound,
holding them 10 position with small strips ct

washingtoa's Idea of Civil Service.

In January, 1889, four months before
he was inaugurated, he wrote to Samuel
Hanson that if he entered upon public
life again, he meant to be "not only un-
fettered by promises, but even uncharge-
able with creating or feeding the expec-
tation of any man living for my assist
ance to office" He said "the ear of the
nominator ought to be open to the com
ments on the merits of each candidate,
and to be governed primarily by the abi-
ities which are most peculiarly adapted
to the nature and duties of the Office
which is to be filled" He was determined
to 90 into the chair of government per
fectly free; aud in March, 1859, he writes
TO Benjamin Harrison that in making ap-
pointments, "a due regard shall be had to
the fitness of characters, the pretensions
Of different candidates, and, so far as is
proper, the political considerations" He
constantly repeats this principle, adding,
OF one occasion, the distribution of po-
sitions of importance to various parts of
the Union is indispensable to the happy
beginning of the government. But fit
ness is always the foremost condition.
When Washington had entered upon
the office of President, he felt that nom
nations for appointment were among the
most delicate and difficult of his duties.
One of his earliest letters upon the sub
ject is to the widow of General Wooster,
the hero of the action at Danbury, dur
ing the Revolution. The letter is very ten
der and considerate, but firm and self-re-
spectful. "As public man, acting only
with reference to The public good, l must
be allowed TO decide upon all points of
my duty without consulting my private
inclinations and wishes" And in the
same letter: "All that require is the
name and such testimonials with respect
to abilities, integrity, and fitness as it
may be in the power of the several ap-
plicants to produce. Beyond this, moth
ing with me is necessary or will be of any
avail to them in my decisions" In No
vember, 1889, he writes to Joseph Jones {:
"In every nomination to Office have en-
deavored, so far as my own knowledge
extended or information could be OBJ
tanned, to make fitness of character my
primary object" In February, 1891, af-
ter honorably and faithfully following
this course, he writes to General Arm
strong: "In word, to a man who has
no ends to serve nor friends to provide
for, nomination to office is the most irk-
some part of the executive trust" Max
ing the just distinction between political
and non-political offices, he writes to
Timothy Pickering in September, 1875:
II shall not, whilst have the honor to
administer the government, bring a man
into any Office of consequence knowingly
whose political tenets are adverse to the
measures which the general government
are pursuing, for this, in my opinion,
would he sort of political suicide >
