Feeding and Dressing Fowls.

Mrs. Fanny Field, an authority on
poultry matters, reports through The
Prairie Farmer that she has had best
success in fattening by use of as much as
the hens or turkeys can eat clean of a
mixture morning and noon of boiled
potatoes, beets and carrots, thickened
with corn and barley meal, and whole
corn at night, and milk kept by them
constantly in abundant supply:
''Ten days or two weeks of such feed
ing will put fowls in prime condition for
market, .. G., if they are in decent order
to begin with; but if they have been
half starved all summer, no amount of
extra feeding will ever make them as
good for table use as the fowls that have
been well kept all their lives. The best
market turkeys 1 ever saw were well fed
from the time they were twenty hours
old. For the last month they were fed
three times daily-cooked vegetables and
meal at morning and noon, and corn at
night. They had all they would eat up
clean each time, but no food was left in
their feeding places. They had free
range, but don't think they went ten
rods from the buildings. When killed
they were between six and seven months
of age, and the dressed weight of the
eighty was 1886 pounds"
Reasonable objection is made to con
tning in close, dark pens; give light and
comfortable room for exercise, even if
this humane treatment renders necessary
the use of a handful more of food
''Twice we tried fattening turkeys in
pens in barn cellar where it was only
light enough to enable the fowls to see
to eat; the cellar was dry and warm,
food and drink we're kept in the pens all
the time, but those turkeys would only
eat just enough to keep from starvation,
and they actually weighed less after
three weeks of confinement than they
did when we shut them up. I happen
to know half dozen other people who
tried the same thing with the same re-
suit"
Mr.. D. W. Lewis takes up the sub
ect from the commercial point of view.
and in a recent circular reminds farmers
If the requisites for securing highest
prices In the New York market:
"Fowls should not be fed for twenty
our hours before killing, as food in the

Without actually boiling. Dip the bird

A BULL AGAINST THE POPE.
The Unique Course of Action Pro
posed by Congressman Finerty.
In Characteristic. Eloquence He Calls on
Catholics to Boycott His Holiness and
Teach Him Lesson.

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Citizen published
by John +. Finerty member of Congress
from the Third Illinois district, has the
following editorial headed Boycott the
Pope"
"Of all the products o. papal interference
in affairs of Ireland that have marked the
policy of the vatican from the days of Adri-
an ~ to those of John XXII., and from the
reign of that pontiff to the present time the
last circular addressed by Leo MIL TO the
Irish bishops and clergy in regard to the
Parnell fund is the most intolerably imper-
pertinent. If the Irish people submit era
venly to this latest Italian lash, the whip be-
ing furnished by the Pope's worthy ally,
Victoria, by the grace of God and so forth,
Queen of Great Britain and Ireland and EN-
press of India, they will forfeit the respect
of the world at large, But what are they
going to do about ii? may be asked. We
reply, let them hold public meetings
throughout every diocese in Ireland, pass
resolutions sternly denouncing any more of
his Holiness uHholy intervention in Irish
puIit'cs, and tell him once for ali ume to
firmly and respectfully mind his own bust
ness as head of the Catholic church. They
might supplement this action by resolving
not to contribute single cent of Peters
pence while Leo occupied the papal chair,
or at least until he quits his palpable and
scandalous political alliance with the arch
enemy of the Irish nation and race. In
word, we advise our countrymen, if they have
any respect for themselves or for Ireland, to
Boycott the Pope and teach him a lesson
that may be serviceable at least to his sue
cessors. Cut off some of the monetary sup
plies of Leo XIII, and teach him, without oe-
ing misunderstood, that the Irish race can
not be bulldozed into slavery by the bayonets
of England or by the thunder of Rome We
hope the Irish bishops and clergymen will
have backbone enough to resent this Roman
outrage on their patriotism. Ireland will
stand by them against Pope Leo or any other
foreign busy be he Saxon or Italian!'

NICE PERQUIsITES.
the Emoluments Enjoyed by the Clerk of
the United States Supreme Court.

The Emoluments Enjoyed by the Clerk of
the United States Supreme Court.
Washington Special.
This officer controls the printing OF all the
decisions made by the Supreme Court, which
amount annually TO a considerable number.
They are not printed by the government
printer, but by the printer of his choice.
There is naturally large demand for these
decisions when the Clerk has them ready for
public use. Every opinion rendered is inter-
esting to the attorneys and parties litigant,
and if it affects some public privilege, it is
wanted for publication. The Justices, when
opinions are delivered in court, put the man.
, Vscripts in the hands of the Clerk, he passes
them on to his printer, and after many revi-
sions they are ready for-what? Delivery to
applicants? No. They are ready for sale.
and the Clerk is the exclusive vender of this
description of merchandise.
What is more, they are very expensive.
The Justices get 5000 year for delivering
them, to say nothing of the cost of the small
er machinery OF the court, and the printing
is paid for by the government, We assume
this, and if it is not so, it ought to be- The
clerk sells them at the rate of 81 per per
printed page, but if the pages exceed five.
the price is limited to $5. There are not
many decisions that do not cover five printed
pages, consequently those who want deci
sioEs may safely count on being taxed $5 for
each.
An enterprising publisher in New York,
who issues regularly papers in the interest of
several of the trades, sends for two of these
decisions. In advance of their being ready
for delivery by the clerk he has published a
synopsis in each case, for the timely procure
ment of which he authorizes ueegraphic ia
cility. He must do this, because the dec-
sions of the court declare certain patents, in
extensive but restricted use, invalid, and a
very large trade interest requires the fullest
Information in each case. He has made all
the progress possible, except the publication
of the full text of the decisions, and for
these he must pay, when they are ready for
delivery, So each. This is, of course, a very
large profit on the printing. They could be
afforded for fifteen, twenty or twenty five
cents and give good margin, but this sale
at 81 page is allowed by the court, and is a
perquisite, profitable as an appropriation, to
its clerk.
Our scrupulous Congress took this matter
in hand at the last session, and actually de-
creed that the revenue of the clerk should
not exceed $4,000 year; but the change does
not take effect until the 1st of July. After
that time he will have to be content with a
compensation nearly two-thirds as much as
that received by the judges.
