Fowls for Market.

Mr.. d. W. Lewis takes up the subjeci
from the commercial point of view, and
in a recent circular reminds farmers of
the requisite for securing highest prices
in the New York market:
"Fowls should not be fed for twenty
four hours before killing, as food in the
CROP is liable to sour and injure its SALE
Bleeding in the mouth is the best mode OF
f.iliing. Heads and feet should be left on
In dressing, the water should be as near
the boiling point as possible, without
actually boiling. Dip the bird into the
water three times, holding it by the les.
The feathers must be then quickly ana
thoroughly removed, without breaking
the skin. Then dip into boiling water
two seconds. and Immediately afterward
into cold water the same length of
time. Wet dressed poultry is generally
preferred up to Thanksgiving, after
which time dry picked has the prefer
ence. Small lat turkeys sell best the
seas7n through, except at Thanksgiving,
and Christmas, when large dry picked
birds only are wanted. Geese sell best
ut Christmas"

improvement in Farm Machinery and
Methods,

How much easier and better does the
farmer do h work now than he did in
the days OF his great-grandIather. I
be sure, there were as good crops raised
then as now, but the land was new and
crops would grow wherever planted.
But times have changed. Horse power
takes the place of human labor in near
ly all of the work done on the farm. l
have in my possession an old-fashioned
three-tined dung fork, with iron enough
about it for set of horse shoes, and Z,
hay fork, one hundred and twenty years
old, made by country blacksmith, OF
course, and very heavy, clumsy in
strumsnt it is. Supposing some "old
Teller" could spend day in modern
bayfield,: wouldn't his eyes open when
he heard the click Of the mower, an /
saw the grass fall down at the rate of an
acre an hour; and when asked if that
hay would do to go in that day, he
would reply, ''no, no, ii
amt dry enough, it ought to
make three days sartin." And he
would wonder what had become of all
of the big rocks, and the roadside fences,
and what made the timothy grow
SO stout IN that swamp: and he would
think the barn was meeting house;
and shake his head when told that the
cows made two pounds of butter a day
and say, II don't know, | don't know
Surely when we look at al of the i'm
proved machinery on the farm, as well
as everywhere else, and the improved
breeds of stock, the fine horses and car
riages, and the improved means of trav-
ell and transporta ion, and when we
think how many comforts and Injuries
are within the reach of the common
people, we know that the world moves
on; and could we live until hundred
wears from now, probably we should see
as great changes as have been made
within the past hundred years.-Man

Farmers Hints.

A Prairie Farmer correspondent con-
WINGED himself by the eating that lovers
of satisfy need not wait till spring for
their favorite root. His wife prepared
some the other day; cut in moderately
thin slices, stewed, seasoned, and served
with small crackers they had decided
oyster flavor. and he advises more at
tention to the supply of this delicious
vegetable"

aration, there is no better food. The
potato and turnip parings boiled, and

ed with meal, drippinss, meat scraps,
soups and stale bread crumbs, will be
founi cheap and valuable food. In
colo weather and during confinement
these articles will supply the place of in

quality, thoroughly cooked and sea-
soned, it makes very appetizing mess

reason why apple orchards on prairie
