miserable condition, for the desire for
more is SO strong that he forgets his
self respect in his efforts to cd more to
drink. Failing a. the saloons, I re-
membered that there was a half pint of
whisky at home, which had been pur-
chased for medicinal purposes. Just

Feeding and Dressing Fowls.

Mrs. Fanny Field, an authority on
poultry matters, reports through 1hf
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, thlckened
with corn and barley meal, and whole
corn at night, and milk kept by them
constantly in abundant supply:
ssTen DAYS or two weeks Of such feed
ing will put fowls in prime condition foi
market, i. e., 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 we'll kept all their lives. The best
market turkeys I ever saw were we'll 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 I 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 |, 1856 pounds"
Reasonable objection is made to con-
timing in close, dark pens; give light and
comfortable room for exercise, even if
this humane treatment renders necessary
the use Of q handful more of food
'Twice we tried ~fattening turkeys in
pens in a 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 were kept in the pens all
the time, but those turkeys would only
eat just enough to keep from starvation,
and they actually weighed less ate,
three weeks of confinement than they
did when we shut them up. I happier
to know half dozen other people who
tried the same thing with the same re-
suit"
Mr.. D. W. Lewis takes up the sub
ject from the commercial point of view
and in a recent circular reminds farmer.
of the requisites for securing highes
prices in the New York market:
"Fowls should not be fed for twenty
four hours before killing, az food in tn
crop is liable to soul and injure its sale
Bleeding in the mouth is the best mod
of killing. Heads and feet should b
left on. In dressing, the water shoul'
be as near the boiling point as possible
without actually boiling. Dip the bir'
into the water three times, holding it b,
the legs. The feathers must be the1
quickly and thoroughly removed, with
out breaking the skin. Then dip int
boiling water two seconds, and imme
diately afterward. into cold water tn
same length of time. Wei dressed poul
try is generally preferred up to Thanks
giving, after which time dry picked ha
the preference. Small fat turkeys &C.
best the season through, except 9

large, dry picked birds only are wanted

Fitted Up Regardless Of Expense and Now
serving n . WFeckinG Car.

On a siding near the repair shops OF
the New York, Lake Erie and Western
Railroad is an old car, bearing on its
side the legend Tool Car" It is used
to carry the wrecking gang OF the Sus-
quehanna division and their tools. I
was looking at the car recently, says a
San correspondent, and one Of the en-
ployees said
II suppose you would be surprised
Won knew to whom this car used to be-
long"
"Whose was it," I asked.
"This car" he replied, 'has rather a
remarkable history. When Jim Fisk
was President OF the old Erie he had a
car built for his private use, and it
was named after Josie Mansfield. The
car was built down in Delaware some
where, ] think, and it cost q mint OF
money. When Fisk ordered it he only
gave instructions TO build him q car in
which he could travel and enjoy himself.
When it was finished and delivered to
Fisk he was 80 pleased with the work
manship that he Immediately sent a
check for 81 900 to the man who had de-
signed the car and had charge OF the
work. The actual cost Of the car was
not far from $4,000, which in those
days was an enormous sum for one car.
It was fitted up throughout in the most
luxurious style. 1t was finished inside
with oiled walnut and cherry, and the
panels were adorned with oil paintings
which alone cost a large sum-. All the
appointments OF the car were correspond
ingly expensive. At one end we're sleep
ing apartments, and dressing and toilet
rooms The remainder of the car was a
travelling drawing-room. In those days
the idea of taking meals on board a train
was unheard Of, but Fisk used to have
wine and delicacies for lunch, and hired
a butler, whose special duty was to take
charge Of the car, wherever it went.
ON those days he used to do some
pretty tall travelling. He haG an engine
at his command, and when he wanted tc
60 over the Erie he went flying along al
at rapid rate, regardless of all other
rains, which had to get out of the way.
It was Fisk who ran the fast train over
the Erie carrying relief for the sufferers
by the Chicago fire. When he made NJ
his mind to send out the relief train. he
sent for Engineer Sam Walker, of Por
Jcrvis, to come to his private Office.
"'Sam, he says. I want You to ru1
that train through to Port Jervis a
quick rs God will let you. If you ar,
killed I'll look out for the wife and littl
ones.
Walker took the train through in tn
unparalleled time Of two hours and tel
minutes. Nat Taft. I think, took it owe
the Delaware division. At any rate,
was a tremendous run, and the Erie bea
them all into Chicago.
Fisk was a great ~favorite with tn
railroad men. He always had a goo
word for MS whenever he was around
When Fisk died the car was used by hi
successor for a while. and afterward di
some duty IN the eastern part of th
road. 1t afterward found its way he,
for repairs. When they came to look
over, they decided that it would be us,
less expense to repair it, and 80, aftt
lying on the switch for a year or two,
was turned into q wrecking car, as yo
now see it,"

Baron Steuben's AnecdOte.

On some occasions he was accustomed
to dine with Washington. Once several
guests were present, and among them
Robert Morris, who had come up to con-
suit with Washington about the state of
the finances. During the dinner he
spoke very bitterly of the bankrupt con-
dition of the treasury, and his utter in
ability to replenish it, when Steuben
said:
"Why, are you not fnancier? Why
do you not create funds?"
81 have done all I can," replied Nor
ris, land it is impossible for me to do
more"
"What y said the baron; "you remain
fnancier without finances? Then I do
not think you as honest a man as my
cook. He came to me m day at Valley
Forge, and said: Baron, I am your cook
and you have nothing to cook but q
piece of thin beef. which is hung up by
a string before the fire. Your wagner
can turn the string and do as we'll as ]
can. You have promised me $40 a month
but, as you have nothing to cook, wish
to be discharged and not longer b.
chargeable to YOU That is an homes

Morris did not join very heartily il

The Little Match.

"That match You are lighting your
cigar with is a very small thing, isn't
it?" said q passenger who had shared
my seat for a few miles. ga small thing,
but you wouldn't believe me that tie
American people paid out S27, 00O, 900
for matches last year, would you? 1t
looks big, but it is a fact. Now, take a
pencil and figure it out. Fifty millions
OF people in this country; they use on
an average five matches each per day;
that is go OO,O 600 matches daily, II
$500, 900 boxes of 100 matches in a box,
every day. Last year these boxes re-
tailed at IN average Of three cents each,
making $4,000 a day for matches, or
S27.375, 900 a year. And then to think
that three-fourths Of all these matches
were supplied by one company If they
don't make $1,000, 900 clear profit out Of
it they don't make a cent"
The harvest day of the match monop-
oily is now at an end, as they no longer
have a government revenue tax levied
for their benefit. But they still control
the trade, on account of their superior
manufacturing facilities, large capital.
etc. They own thousands of acres of
timber land in Michigan, and their
lumber is cut by their own men and
shipped on their own boats. And then
they have contracted for nearly all the
worlds supply of phosphorus years
ahead, and the new manufacturers start
ing into the business find themselves
overmatched in many ways by the old
monopoly, which can still control the
trade and make a fair profit on its invest
ments. They control twenty-five fac
tories, and one of them has a capacity
