Ernest Redfern made for the Princess o
Wales glove fitting jacket of fine knitting silk
braided with gold across the 'front.' She, having
an exceedingly fine figure liked it very much
ana e1acted promise from Mr.. Redfern not tt
make another like it for year The Prince O.
wales, about month after, asked Mr.. Rclfern tt
mike him one like it. N ReGfer replied il
the negative, telling him of his promise to the
Princess The Prince laughingly remarked thai
he would mako that all right, saying it was for
present to Mrs. Langtry. Hence the name then
given 1.-THE Jersey"

How to Dress Poultry for Market

Messrs. Pancoast & Grifliths, 242 South
Front street, Philadelphia, give the follow
ing directions for dressing poultry for the
Philadelphia market. For the Baltimore
market the heads and feet are removed and
the entrails drawn:
Poultry should be penned up and fed long
enough before killing to ensure good condi.
ton; and never kill after feeding until sufFi-
cient time for the crop to become entirely
empty.
Kill by bleeding hang the fowl up by the
legs and cut deep with sharp pen knife cross
wise inside the upper part of the throat and
after picking allow the poultry to thorough
ly cool through before packing if packed
with any animal warmth it quickly spoils.
Dry picked Turkeys and Chickens gen.
orally command one to two cents per pound
more than scalded. If scalded care should
be taken to avoid tearing the skin.
Dress with the heads and feet on and en-
trails in; for drawn poultry (heads and feet
OF and entrails ouD will not sell here.
When thoroughly cold, pack in good light
boxes or barrels with clean dry straw bv
placing layer on the bottom, then alternate
layers otpoultry and straw; stow each fowl
snugly, filling the package quite full, press
in and cover tight.
W INC uiIeIent KINGS III separate pack
ages and mark each with gross weight and
tare.
Avoid shipping in wet or damp and mucky
weather if possible; if not, ship by express,
Large Turkeys are wanted for thanksgiy.
ing ; large Gobbers and Geese for Christmas
Ducks and Chickens, or medium size Hen
Turkeys are in best demand for New Years
and generally ; after New Years large Tur
keys are hard to sell.
Recolect that poultry for the HOLIDAYS
must be here two or three days before the
