Psulfry for the Table.

La Basse-cour French journal specially
devoted to the interests OF the poultry-yard,
gives the following directions for insuring
white, plump and tender poultry for the
table, as obtained from a celebrated cook IN
the south OF France: To get good weight
and a delicate color, only meal from grain of
the last years growth should be used in the
fattening process, and the water employed
for mixing the food should be mixed with
salt in the proportion Of 10 grammes to the
lltre (three-eighths of an ounce avoirdupois
to quart of meal). Farther, small guam
t,ty OF coarse gravel should be added to the
paste thus made, so as to assist the birds
digestive functions. Special care should be
taken not to give them any heavy meal for at
least twelve hours before they are to be
killed, so that the intestines may be empty
at the time of death, and the acid fermenta-
tiCn Of their contents which would otherwise
ensue and which facilitates decomposition
may be avoided. Nor should we be in too
great q hurry to pluck them; If feathers are
pulled out while the blood is still fluid the
vesicle at the root of each of them becomes
engorged and the skin gets spotted. A fowl
killed while digestion is going on will hardly
keep for a week. By attention to the above
directions they may be preserved for fort
night In mild wet weather, and for three
weeks or more when 1t is dry and cold. A
few pieces Of charcoal put in the inside will
assist in preservation. To boil pullet thus
prepared it should be put into Geld gravy
soup, made ready beforehand, and cooked by
slow fire. Directly it is taken from the pot
Ii should be powdered over with salt in
coarse grains, and if eaten while quite hot it
10 dish for the severest epicure.

A man should go into the poultry business
as he would into any other business-intelli-
gently, and with the determination to do
whatever is necessary to achieve success. A
good authority says the poulterer should keep
in view the following points:
1. That the cheapest and most accessible
is the most desirable, always provided that a
near aud sure market is at command.
2. That the utmost economy consistent
with the safety, comfort, and health of the
poultry should be exercised in the erection oil
the building and fences.
3. That an abundance of pure water is
accessible or attainable.
L. That fowls over three years old are not
profitable, and stock should be thorougly
renewed every two years.
5. That only the largest, hardest and
best fowls should be used as breeders.
6. That careful supervision of the flock
is necessary, to see that it enjoys the mos
perfect health and greatest comfort, in Sum-
mer and Wnter.-Poultry World.

Testing Seed Grain.

Mr.. Bowick, the English author, urges that
where there is the slightest reason for doubt
ing the terminating powers of seed grain, it
should be tested before sowing much more
generally than is often done. His directions,
though too late for our fall crops and much
in advance of spring seeding, may well be
put on record for future use. They are as
follows:
'Draw 100 grains promiscuously, lay them
in two pieces of thick flannel well saturated
with RAIN water. place it in warm tempera-
ture, keep it wet, and in fifty or sixty hours
you will find it sprouted. The general adop-
ton Of such handy method would give a
certainty to what the farmer was actually
sowing. Thus, if he found the germinative
percentage low, he must add more seed to
make up for the dficiency.3

Grab AppIe Jelly.

Take peck of apples, look them over care
fully and cut out all the bad spots, and take
of the stems ;put them into porcelain kettle,
and put in water enough to just cover them.
Let them boil till soft, then strain through a
colander, press the pulp lightly, so as to get
oil the juice; then pour the juice into the
jelly bag and let it drain out slowly into a
pan, put 1t into the kettle and boil down one
third; then weigh or measure it, and add an
equal quantity of graduated sugar; boil
slowly and skim thoroughly. You can tell
when it is done by trying it In saucer, or
dropping it into cup OF cold water. II will
be as clear as crystal, and of light amber
color, Some like to favor it with lemons,
which can be done by slcng
some fresh lemons and boiling
them in the juice before adding the
sugar. Grape or raspberry juice added,
gives dark, rich color, but does not add to the
favor. 1t must be put into tight. glasses
or pots, and kept from the air. 1t will keep
long time, and is nice thing to keep in a
family, either for tarts, ielley-cake, or pud-
dingss. No danger of having to much on

Clover is called, and properly so, ''thc sheet
anchor of American husbandry." Too much
cannot be said in its praise. 1t is capable OF
doing more to bring impoverished lands to a
high state of cultivation with less expense
than any other agency. And just in proper
ton as the farmer cultivates this plant will
he be'relieved from the necessity of purchasing
commercial fertilizers to enrich his land.
While there is no system Of cultivation which
will enable the farmer TO keep the fertility OF
his land without resorting to such agencies,
yet the use of clover will go very far towards
accomplishing 1t. Glover will do for you
what miricles did for Moses. Yea, it will do
more. 1t will cancel notes, pay mortgages,
extinguish obligations and bring abundance
where there is want.-W William Fullerton,

Cleaning the Hen.Hsuse.

If the careful poulterer will look to the I'M
der portion of his perches, and as faithfully
apply the saturated kerosine brush to this
part of the premises as he does to the top and
sides and crevices, once in a while, he will
find it profitable for the removal of vermin.
Lice brood and breed under the roosts in
great numbers. In the day time they are
thus partially secreted. In the night, when
the fowls settle down to their roosis, these
millions of parasites crawl up, and nestle
themselves comfortably among the birds soft
feathers where they subsequently stick to
their new warm quarters until they are car
