How to Pluck Poultry.

/ have known persons on market day
to 60 out and kill twelve or fifteen fowls,
and to bring them into room where
there would be half dozen women and
boys pulling a few feathers at time,
between their thumb and foreinger, to
prevent tearing them. Now for the
benefit of such, will give our plan:
Hang the. fowl by the feet by a small
cord; then with small knife give one
cut across the upper jaw, opposite the
corners of the mouth; after the blood has
stopped running in stream, place the
point of the knife in the groove in the
upper part of the mouth, run the blade
up into the back part of the head, which
will cause twitching of muscles. Now
is your time, for every feather yields as
if by magic, and there is no danger of
tearing the most tender chick. Before he
attempts to flap you can have him as
bare as the day he came out of the egg.

Useful Hints for Dairymen.

The following excellent advice, given
by the Hon. Harris Lewis at the recent
meeting of the American Dairymen's
Association, is well worth notice and
study by all persons interested in dairy
ing. He said l.- ....tt... :.
1.-The first question asked by a dairy
man is, what shall do to cheaper the
the cost of milk? The speakers before
have told us truly that we must improve
our stock. And how? By carefully Sc
lectlng cows adapted to your farms and
the particular branch of the dairy bust
ness you wish to pursue. If you want to
make butter or cheese, the Holstein is
well adapted to your purpose if you have
level lands. If your lands are billy you
must select a smaller, more active breed.
If your purpose is to make cheese, the
Ayrshire is good. If you want to make
butter on billy pastures, take the Devon
or Jersey. The Guernsey is little too
large. Having decided upon what you
want to do, select from some old estab-
lished breeds to suit your object in view,
and then breed for it with the common
stock for foundation. / believe that
there is nothing so good for the COW, and
to produce good rich milk, as our native
long-leafed, long-rooted grasses. Our
bulbous-rooted grasses cannot stand the
trampling Of the cattle in our dry seasons.
A good mixture for the pasture is two
bushels of orchard with one bushel of
Kentucky blue grass to the acre. In
seeding for pasture, a little clover is an
advantage but not much. | never SOW
more than eight pounds of clover to the
acre. On lands costing less than 500
per acre you can pasture cows profita-
bly,. If the cost is much over 500 it is
doubtful if you can rely entirely upon
your dairy. feed my land in proper
ton to the quantity | take from it. | cut
my grass thrice. The first cutting l put
away for spring feeding; the second and
third for immediate use. The aftermath
proves very attractive to my cows. This
mode of cutting is very successful, and
cheapens the cost of milk. Another way
to lessen the cost of milk is to treat your
cattle with uniform kindness. You can
lessen the pasturage by judicious soiling.
Ehsilage is good for this purpose, and
may even be fed in summer for change
OF diet. Ensilage. in the craze that has
prevailed over it, has been overvalued.
We have not yet found the genuine value
OF it. think that by feeding roots with
dry feed in winter you can increase the
production of milk and cheaper the cost.
Regular milking will cheaper the cost of
production. Milk as nearly as possible at
the same moment and in the same order
affixed and regular intervals three times
day. You can cheaper the cost of pro-
duction by keeping your cattle clean in
their winter quarters. Card them at least
once day."

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

of all shares, pillow shares are the
most reliable. They always turn up
something.
When frying cakes, roll and cut out
all the cakes before you begin to fry
them, then you can get that attention to
the cooking upon which success de-
ponds.
Strawberries. much more prolific
when four or five different varieties are
planted together, although each variety
may be perfect one, than if but one
perfect variety were planted alone.
"A gentleman who recently rode
through ex-senator Dorsey's cattle ranch
in New Mexico, says of it: ut is forty
by sixty miles in size, and has on it 28,-
600 head of cattle and 1900 head of
horses. The income from this place can
not be less than $780, 900 for the present
season." .-,--
"A good, cheap, quickly made corn
bread: Mix three large cups of corn
meal with one of wheat flour, cup of
sour milk, two tablespoonfuls of molasses
and enough soda to remove acidity, and
little salt. Add enough sweet milk (or
water may do) to make it-as soft as you
would for soft gingerbread. Mix well and
bake tiftyrto sixty minutes.
1t is recommended, as an important
item in sheep husbandry, ''to separate
the ews whose lambs are intended for
market, and devote to them a little spe-
cial care and attention. 1t will be evil
dent to every sheep farmer that this,
Though 1t cost but a trifie of either time
or food, will add many pounds and a
good fattening condition to the lambs.
"A fruit tree can not bear a very
heavy crop oftener than once in two years
and in order to obtain an even bearing
tree the fruitshouldb be thinned very freely
every year; this would secure not only
very even crops every year, but finer and
more superior fruit. Birds assist us in
this matter by picking off the blossoms.
Thinning is easily done if we obtain a
slender pole with a hook like knife at
tached, or even Goldfish hook, by which
the extra fruit could be easily cut out.
Handsome pillow-covers, or ''shams'
as they are sometimes called, are made
by taking, for the pair, eight hemstitched
pocket-handkerchiefs. Put them togeth-
er with bands of insertion of torchon,
Hamburg, or ric-rac, and trim the edge
to match. These covers will wash and
iron easily, which is a great point gained,
unless one has an accomplished laund-
ress. Choose handkerchiefs of fine and
yet sufficiently heavy linen to make sure
that they will take starch well.

TOnY Pastor i'm TrnnhIe.

4 Tony rastor, Of New York, who is now with
his inimitable variety combination, making a
tour OF the principal cities of the Union, is
recognized as the leading character vocalist
and variety performer of the United States.
He owns and runs frst-class theater on
Broadway, New York City, and has gathered
about MIN the best troupe of variety artists
that could be obtained. The company has
just completed brilliant engagement at the
Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and aft

OF character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular having realized by his
talents large fortune. i gGF12..fos, 1zL
The writer of this article met Mr.. Pastor re-
Gently at the Bingham House, in Philadelphia,
andfound him as genial in private as he is
amusing before the public. During our con
versationl inquired as to his physical health,
and he replied that, notwithstanding the
strain upon him in the discharge of his pro-
fessional duties, it was excellent. He had oc-
easionaily severe. pains, either the result of
rheumatic attacks or colds, but any complaints
of that Character, never troubled him long, as
he had found out remedy for all such annoy
ing affections. / asked him what the remedy
was, andhe replied, est. Jacobs OIL" then
learned rom Mr.. Pastor that he considered
the Greas German Remedy an excellent prepa-
ration fr the cure or relief of rheumatism,
and that it was about the only thing used
among professional people forthat distressing
complaint. He took bottles of it with him
whenever hewent travelling, and would not be

1t will be seen by the above that near
ly two and quarter millions of dollars
were distributed among the milk pro-
ducers of this section during the year,
which, to say the least, is an exceedingly
handsome sum, and far more than all
other branches of agriculture have paid
for the same time. Beside, the money
is distributed monthly, thus giving the
farmers and others who are interested
in this industry their funds at regular
intervals. If we would add to this the
amounts paid for milk shipped to Chi
cage from points tributary to the Elgin
Board of Trade, as well as the total
product of all the factories represented
on the Board, we would find that the
amount of money paid for milk, butter
and cheese would aggregatefully S., 000,-
GOO. ..
By comparison, we find that the aver
age price of cheese through the year has
been Scents, and butter 30B cents, The
highest price paid for cheese at Utica,
n. Y, was 13s cents, at Little Falls, IS
cents; at Elgin 10 cents. In both cases
the cheese was full cream. The lowest
price paid at Utica was 81; at Little
Falls, z; at Elgin, 5; and the Elgin
product was part skins, while the 9TH
ers were full creams. These COMPARE
sons are useful, in that they, show that,
while comparatively small portion of
Illinois is engaged in dairying, and that
while large portion of the milk from
that section is used as an article of food
in its natural condition, Illinois holds a
proud rank as butter and cheese pro-
ducing State.
