and to bring them into q room where
there would be half dozen women
and boys pulling a few feathers at a

for the benefit Of such, I will give our
plan: Hang the fowl by the feet by
q small cord; then, with q small knife,
give one cut across the upper Jaw op-
posite the corners of the mouth; after
the blood hasstopped a stream,
place the point Of the knife in. the
groove in the upper part Of the mouth,
run the blade up into the back ofthes
head, which viii cause twitching Of

NEED OF ROTATION OF MAEuREs.
In manuring land with any special
fertilizer, like that of guano, Il has
been found that though they may be
especially valuable in the production
Of Q few successive crops, they are seen
to decrease under such a system in a
short time. A variety and rotation
of manures is essential to success
Aanures, like crops, must be alterna-
ted. In some cases the soil needs g
manure Astounding in potash; in an
other case. phosphoric ones; and vet
In others. those that abound in hunus
or vegetable mould. The question Of
the fitness Of special manures for the
production Of special crops and the
proper rotation of all kinds in order
to insure an increase Of crops, as well
as increase in the permanent fertility
OF the soil, is an important one.

The BEST FARM HoRsE. Years ago
when faster horse than existed was
desirable there was reason in the at
tempts to improve the speed of the
animal, but there is hardly a doubt
that the good Of the farmer has been
altogether lost sight Of in the desire
to get horses Of great speed. The
best farm horse is the strong horse.
the one that can step ont lively, and
has endurance to go through a days
work without great fatigue. The bus
iness Of raising fast horses Is quite dis
tinct from the business Of the farmer. It
Is q sort of excitement to see a horse
race, but when the farmer thinks the
horse he sees racing is one he ought to
have on his farm he makes a great mis-
take. The heavy Norman horse would
be more profitable than the one that
was simply a racer. PhiIGdelphio
