Not His Funeral.

The humorous incidents of the
Brooklyn fire are not very plentiful,
but here is one told by the New York
World: con that fatal night two
youths, one resident of Newark and
the other of Brooklyn, attended the
Brooklyn Theater. They left the build
ing previous to the last act, as the New
ark boy had persuaded his Brooklyn
chum to go home and sleep with him,
and it was necessary to leave early to
catch the train. No hint of the terri
BILE disaster reached Newark until the
next afternoon. The day after this the
Brooklyn boy returned to his home.
He found hearse at his fathers door
and ali the other appliances Of funer-
al. Ringing the door-bell he was met
by 8 servant girl who nearly tainted at
sight of dim Whose funeral is this ?"
said the boy. cts your own, darlin',"
said the girl; eve got your body yester-
day at the morgue, and you're just af-
ter bein' buried" The deaoaten,e,at may

Keen tho Animals Warm.

The first cold blast of wind from the
north is reminder that animals, how
ever tough and hardy, need shelter in
winter. It will take less food to keep
farm stock over winter In warm stables
than when exposed to severe cold. Of
course, good wood, stone or brick barns
and stables are expensive, and there
are many farmers, especially in the rel
Gently settled districts, who have not
the means to build such structures, but
there is no one too poor to furnish
some kind of shelter for their ami
mails. If man cannot afford to build
what he desires, let him do the next
best thing, and build something which
will furnish shelter, even if it is nothing
better than shed, with sod for walls,
and a roof of brush Or cornstalks.- All
attempts at elegance or extra conven-
fence may be left out of the question
where mans purse is light; still, it is
economy to keep all farm stock shell
tered from cold, wind and storms In
winter, even if the owner does not pos
sess enough of the humane feelings to
care for their comfort.
More than one-half of all the dis
eases and parasites which infest farm
stock are the direct result of neglecting
to furnish them with proper food OF
shelter during cold, stormy weather

weather, are liable to various diseases
of the feet, such as hOOfail and foot
rot, and the best preventive is dry
ground, or yards Uttered with straw, or
some similar coarse material. Stand
ing long time in filth, whether in the
stable or yard, is almost certain to
bring on diseasee of the feet. All kinds
of farm stock are liable to take cold
when exposed to storms, and from this
comes q weakened constitution, which
invites various kinds of diseases and
parasitic insects. Weakened vitality
or vigor In either plants or animals
opens the way to hundreds of parasites
which are resisted by the healthy indi-
vidual, and the farmer should keep his
animals in condition which will en-.
able them to ward off the attacks Of
such enemies. He has only to think
of his own comforts, such as nutritious
food and warm clothing, and consider
how the reverse of these conditions
would affect nina, to understand how 1t
Is with his animals.
It is unnecessary to go into details in
regard to the building of sheds, stables
or other kinds Of structures for shelter
ing stock in winter, as every man knows
best what materials are at hand or with
in reach suitable for such purposes,
but the fact should be apparent to all
breeders of animals that in all cold eli
mates some kind of protection is re-
quired. Out on the plains and prairies
of the west and southwest it is often as
serted that sheep need no protection in
winter, and it is even claimed by some
that they do better without it than
with it; but the frequent heavy losses
by cold, starvation and diseases, plain
~ show that all this talk of mildness of
climate is an error. Sheep and other
farm stock may live through the win
ter without artificial shelter, or more
food than can be obtained on the range
in these favored localities, but they
would certainly do better with added
comforts every winter, and occasional
ly heavy losses might be avoided by
making the necessary provision to pro-
tect and feed them when severe storms
prevail.

How to Fatten Poultry for Market.


Although the manner of fattening
poultry may seem easy, yet there is
nevertheless, a right and wrong way, q
long and short mode, of accomplish
ing the object desired.
Never let poultry forage or shift for
themselves for at least ten days before
killing, for they are apt to range in the
barnyards, and pick up food, which
permeates all through the bird, its flesh
frequently becoming so tainted, that it
is unfit to be eaten.
regular profit, or for domestic use, is to
keep them constantly in high feed from
beginning, with plenty Of clear. cool
water: then they are alwaps ready for
the table, but with very little extra at
tention, their flesh will be juicier and
richer in flavor, than those fattened
from low and emaciated state, always
commanding quick sale, at the highest
price In the market, healthful, nour-
ishing and restorative food.
Some cram their poultry before kill
ing, to make it appear heavy; this is q
most jnjudicious plan, as it shows at q
glance, the dishonest intention of the
shipper to benefit himself and swindle
others, in his poor effort to obtain the
price of poultry for corn; the undigest-
putrefaction takes place, injuring their
sale great deal more than is gained
in weight. Fowls should always be al
lowed to remain in their coop at least
twenty-four hours previous to being
killed, without food; then taey will
keep longer and present a better ap-
pearance.
The best food for fattening fowls, old
Or young, is barley meal, or mixed with
equal quantities of corn meal and fed
warm Ia small quantity of iron in their
drinking water is recOmmended) which
will make flesh faster and more solid,
giving it q fine golden color after being
dressed. Good food is positive economy.
The best mode for killing poultry, as
it causes instant death without pain or
Disagreement, is to suspend the birds
by tying their legs firmly to pole Or
heavy wire across the floor, and open
ing the fowls beak, and with a sharp
pointed and narrow-bladedk knife, make
an incision at the back of the roof,
which will divide the vertebrse and
cause immediate death.
Dry-pluck the feathers and pin
feathers all off, neat and clean while
warm, without breaking the skin; then
plunge it into a kettle of very hot
water, holding it there only long
enoug h for the bird to plump" then
hang it UP, turkeys and chickens by the
looS and 611oks and OQoso nv tho
heads. Do not remove the entrails,
head or feet. This mode gives the
poultry nice buttery, golden color that
attracts the eye of the epicure.-Anaer-
