We receive many letters in the course of
a year, asking for information respecting
raising poultry on a large scale for the food
market. IT tie writers of these letters knew
how impossible it would be for us to do
justice to a topic of such magnitude, within
the compass of an ordinary letter, or in half
a dozen such letters, they would spare their
questions Mr. W. H. Rudd South Scitu-
ate, Mass, whose first paper on his pract-
cal poultry farm appears in this issue of the
Poultry World, will hereafter answer in
these columns, briefly, all such letters, pro-
vided the queries propounded are of suffi-
cient general interest to make it worth
while. Address him directly, as above, and
not through this Office.
We have a book also entitled AN Egg
Farm,' which we wrote on purpose to as
Sist such enquirers. 1t is devoted entirely
to keeping poultry in great numbers for
market as a regular business. 1t will be
sent prepaid from this Office for fifty cents,
and we want to have al read it who are in
terested in the subject. Another book en-
titled How to Raise Poultry on a Large
Scale,' we mail on receipt of twenty-five
cents. In these several ways we shall en-
deavor to fully supply the growing demand
for information respecting poultry raising
by wholesale to supply the food market
with eggs and fowls.-Poultry World.

Cooking an old Hen.-I killed a superan-
nuated hen-more than six years old, but
otherwise in very good condition. Cooked
in the ordinary way, she would have been
uneatably tough. Instead of being thus
cooked, she was gently stewed about tour
hours. Il cannot guarantee the maintenance
of the theoretical temperature, being suspc-
ious of some simmering.) After this, she
was left in the water until it cooled, and on
the following day was roasted in the usual
manner, 4. e.. in a roasting oven. The re-
suit was excellent; as tender as a full grown
chicken roasted in the ordinary way, and of
quite equal flavor in spite of The very good
broth obtained by the preliminary stewing.
This surprised me. | anticipated the soften
ing of the tendons and ligaments, but sup
posed that the extraction of the juices would
have spoiled the flavor. 1t must have dilut-
ed. and that so much remained was proba-
bly, due to the fact that an old fowl is more
fully Favored than a young chicken. The
usual farmhouse method of cooking old
hens is to stew them simply, the rule in the
nidlands being one hou" in the not for
every year OF age. The feature of the above
experiment was the supplementary roasting.
1t offers the double economy of utilizing
nearly waste product and obtaining chicken
broth and roast foul simultaneouslv.-Pop-

COUNTY FAIR ANNOUNCE.
MENT.

The Secretary of the Shiawassee
County Agricultural Department will
have his Office the present season
with Messrs. Stever Bros. & Williams.
1t is earnestly desired that entries be
made as early as possible, and to
those living at distance I would sug-
gest sending entries by mail; entry
cards can thus be ready without de-
lay. A very good way is to check off
on the supplement the entries you
desire and send in with your name.
Entries and applications for space
are now being made and there is
every indication of our farmers hav:,
ing a reunion such as old Shiawas-
sec has never known. And why not?
1t is their holiday and time to see
what progress has been made the
year past, and plan for the year to
come. The business man will be
there and tell you all about his affairs
and grand good time may be ex-
pected, if it don't rain.

THE BUTLER OF 1T.

The papers say that Gen. Butler in
his recent speech at Detroit said:
81 have fought for 40 years in my
own State for law, and we have one
that don't permit the workingmen to
work more than 10 hours in any one
day."
Now there is no such law on the
Statute books of Massachusetts, and
never has been, or any law that per-
mits of any such construction. A
law was enacted in 1874 which for
bid the employment of minors under
eighteen years of age, and women
more than 10 hours day in manu-
featuring establishments, but Gen.
Butler had nothing to do with this
enactment, he being at that time in
Congress engaged in passing the re-
tro-active salary grab. In 1883 a
bill passed the Republican legislature
bidding the employment of any
CHI lid under ten years of age in any
manufacturing establishment, and,
also, the employment of any child
under twelve years of age during
school hours. Gen. Butler who was
then Governor, did not dare sign the
bill for fear he would offend some
poor people who want to get as much
out of their children as possible, Meth
err did he dare refuse to sign it for
fear he would be charged with hos.
tiiity to the workingmen's children
So he pocketed it, and it became a
law without his signature. That is
the kind of humbug he is as la.
borer's friend. Michigan working.

Investigated the charges, and find from
authority that it is absolutely un-
questionable, that Gen. Alger is, and
always has been an unconditional
total abstinence man all his life. It
is fact that not drop of any
kind of intoxicating liquors or beer
ever passed his lips until it was given
him by the surgeons as he was car
ried badly wounded from the field of
battle and that he entered vigorous
protest against that act to the sur

PROHIBITION CONVENTION.

The Prohibition County Conven-
ton was held at Corunna on We'd
nesday. We understand the attend
ance was fair, all of the townships
except two being represented by de-
legations more or less full. The
ticket nominated is composed of
good men, but the success of the or
ganization means the defeat Of the
Republican party, party as thor
oughly temperance as any party can be
and which has done more to promote
the national prosperity, and build up
the interest of American labor than
all other political organizations that
have ever existed in the country's
history. To these facts we call pub
lie attention and trust that all honest
men will with one accord give the
Republican ticket cordial support.
Each and every Republican nominee
is just as thoroughly committed to all
true moral, social and sumptuary re-
forms as any set of men can be;
while we would not detract a single
iota from the merits Of the other
candidates, we have no doubt the
public interests will be much better
served by the election Of the Repub.
lican ticket.
