A firm of poultry dealers il New York
has sent out a circular to poultry ship
pers containing the following advice:
"To ensure the best prices, the fowls
must be we'll fattened; crops empty
when killed; killed by bleeding, but do
not take off the heads; pick nicely
without breaking skin; entrails should
be removed; cool thor on lilly but don
freeze; pack in boxes with clean straw
frye is the best between each layer OF
poultry, in the Same posture in which
they roost; mark each box, specify what
it contains; send invoice by mail; ship
TO reach market about the middle of the
week-never so late as Saturday. Fine
fat turkeys are wanted for Thanksgiv-
ing; prime geese for Christmas; extra
large and nice turkeys for New Year g.
Ifyou cannot find any profit in sending
prime quality and we'll prepared, you
need not look for any in ordinary OF
poor qualities. "-[New York Observer.

Fertilizers.

"There is no fertilizer that possesses the
property of attracting and retaining
moisture IN such marked degree that It's
application will absolutely discount the
effects of drought. KANT, on account
of the common salt it contains, is sup
posed to conserve or attract and retain
moisture. Land plaster has the same
property. But neither of these can be
proftably used in such quantity as tc
produce any very decided effects in pre-
venting the soil from drying. 1t is sale
of such fertilizers that they tend tc
preserve moisture, but the tendency does
not practically amount to much. Deer
preparation, thorough UNDERTAKING.
rapid surface culture and plenty of humu'
are the great practical conservatora o.
moisture in the soil. Very thirsty soil
should be pIowed deeply Out not turned
over before planting, the surface shouic
be kept as nearly level as possible. tht
rows run on a level and a dry crus
should never be permitted to form after
rain. "--Atianta, Co., Southern Cultirator

THE FOUNDER OF CHICAGO.
He Was Coal Black Negro from
the Island of San Domingo.

The name OF the real founder Of Chic

proud Caucasian and permitted - DRIFT
into oblivion, is hereby rescued, II was
Jean Baptiste au Sable, and its owner
was San Domingo negro, with com
piexion as black as the character OF the
fend who would attempt to bride an
Alderman with n block Of imaginary
stock in o mythica! railroad. The name
gave rise 10 q suspicion OF French blood
in Jeans veins, but there was nothing
in any feature to show it, and no doubt
he was an African of the purest type.
He had in his mind the founding Of
treat empire in the wilderness, and be-
lieved that q conmingling OF negro and
Indian would produce the typical race
of the world-large in brain and irwin
chile in war. He had doubtless heard
legends of the most famous of his race.
Hannibal, who, descending the Nile,
crossed into Europe, and after over
throwing the Roman ! 3ions advanced
upon the mistress OF the World with
amyriad of men. In order TO do this,
too, it was necessary to march his hosts
across the Alps, and this WIS accom-
phshed in a manner 80 superb that the
later effort of Napoleon was but feeble
imitation.
1t is certain, however, that Au Sable
had dreams Of power and empire. he
thought first to ingratlate himself with
the neighboring tribes of Indians,
eventually consolidate them, and be-
come chief of q great nation. AS pre-
liminary step, and to provide for q
future capital, he prospected through
out the vast wilderness, and with pro.
phetic vision chose this as the locality.
Nothing could change this determine
ton. and despite the wiles and blandlsh-
ments of real estate dealers at Marquette
and Fort Clark (now PEORIA he took
possession in 1899 of strip OF ground
living north of the river and extending
from what's now Clark street to the lake
Thereon he built hut and proceeded
to negotiate.
Like many a white man before anO
since, Jean seems to have great heac
for schemes, but a poor one for dlpIo
macy, and after two or three years O
incessant toll and increasing intrigue
| his vision of power faded away. LIZ
was suspicious, and would have none o
it, and this distrust of his motlvei
seems to have broken the adventurer'
/ spirit, as he soon abandoned his claim
! and being deslrous of ending his life g
soon and easily as possible located OIL
the Illinois river near Peoria, where h
soon died of break back ague. Thu
ended the dreamed of-empire and per
haps obviated the necessity Of clvi

A Great Pigeon Race,

Tho prettlest race among pigeons
ever flown to Belgium lofts was IN
doubtedly that from OAK, in the south
west of France. The start was about
5000 birds, 1925 of which were entered
for the prizes. Let 60 at o'clock
fifty one were reported at evening, and
it is asserted all of the $50 prizes could
have been carried with same day hoaors
if owners had been on the lookout, as
more than enough birds to have won
them were found in the lofts at day
break. The bouquet which closed the
prize list was called before s. 80 o clock
next morning. The airline distance to
Brussels is 553 miles. The first prize
was won by a Verviers bird, the second
going to Jambre. The best average
speed was about 1915 yards minute.
The prize money amounted to about
5000; the special prizes, value about
5000, beng offered by the king Of Bel

FOR FARM AND GARDEN.
Topping Corn.

{ The old practice OF cutting of the tops
of corn above the ears and leaving the
remaining stalks in the field to dry up
and be worthless for any purpose seems
very strange to modern farmers. The
butts of cornstalks were practically
worthless when left in the field to dry.
Cured properly and cut when still
green, just after the corn has hardened,
the butts are richer IN nutriment than
the tops. Possibly the richest place OF
all is the middle around where the ear
was formed. Any one who notices how
a cow eats cornstalks will find that she
seizes the stalk by the middle, doubles
it up in her mouth and so progresses
towards both ends at once. When she
comes to the tassel she bites it of and
drops that with the butt, preparatory
to taking another mouthfu'. = Ameri-
