FARM NOTES.

There is usually a difference OF five
cents per pound between live and dry
picked poultry. Scalded poultry sells
for about two cents per pound less than
the dry picked.
With the generality Of fruit trees the
better plan is to keep in cultivation fol
six 70 ten years after setting out, taking
care during this time to build Up the
fertility as much as possible.
The claim is made that. to a consider.
able extent. the mulch will regulate the
strawberry season. Put on in the fall
and left on until late, on some, and re
moved early on others. will lengthen
out the season materially.
Apples to be stored away for long
keeping must be handled very care
fully. In sorting over, all speckled or
bruised fruit should be taken out and
only those that are perfectly sound be
stored away. Then. if kept at low, e
temperature. there is little risk but that
they will keep in good condition.
If there is a fall Of only a few feet for
q large field one or two drain tiles will
carry of the surplus water, but it is bet
ter TO underlay the entire field with
tile. as a piece Of We land will never
prove profitable unless it can be gotten
into condition for allowing the horses
and pillow OF il.
Pears need letter land than the apple
and more constant culture. They should
not be cultivated beyond midsummer,
as this encourages a late growth of wood
that Will winter-kill in cold ATTITUDES.
There is no remedy for the pear blight
except TO remove the limbs as fast as
they show the disease.
All materials added to the manure
heap should be fine. the object Of the
heap is TO have the material undergo q
chemical process through decomposi-
ton. and the result to be obtained de-
ponds on the degree Of decomposition.
Unless reduced in the heap the material
is not converted into manure.
A writer in the n. Y. World SAYS
Of the best ways to preserve sweet po-
tatoes is to pack them in barrels in al
ternate layers Of potatoes and perfectly
dry leaves, and then set them away in .
dry room where it does not freeze or get
too cold. The leaves seem to absorb
the moisture from the potatoes, and
they keep we'll and are handy TO take
oct as you want to use them. They
ought not to touch one another. and
should be perfectly dry and without .
cut or scratch when they are put down.
else they will soon rot

Young ewes may be poor mothers It
is better. therefore. to have them drop
their lambs a little later than the older
ewes do. The fockmaster will have
more time to give them attention, and
the weather will be warmer. April or

drop her lamb.

New Yorker.
As soon as the coupling season is over
the breeding ewes should be separated
from the flock and fed on nourishing
food. They should moi be made too fat,
for fear Of milk fever at lambing time,
but they require good feeding if they
are to produce strong lambs. Plenty Of
hay with a mess of ground oats nee a
day should keep them il good condition
without liability Of the ewes becoming
too fat.
There is one advantage in raising a
good crop Of turnips. and that is if they
are not wanted TO market or TO use on
the table, they can be used in feeding
70 the stock. The best plan is to chop
them up reasonably fine SO that the
stock can eat them without risk Of get
ting choked and then sprinkle them
literally with bran. If a little corn
meal is added to the bran the quality Of
the food will be improved and in this
way they can be made cheap aud whole

THE TRUE


A Arctic Bafd Which Varies Its q F01R
Times . Year.
The true ptsrmigan, / take it, is the
most glacial Developments northern
most and peculiarly mountainous Oh
shoot Of the vint<y willow grouse. II
i1Aabits, says DR.. Dresser, the more
elevated. rocky and barren localities,
where it replaces the Scottish grouse
and the willow grouse, and it seldom or
eve descends to the lowlands, where
these latter species have their home,
unless driven down by stress of weather
in search after food. The ptarmigan
ranges. in fact, in smaller bodies than
the willow grouse, yer larger areas Of
inaccessible rock. Being, therefore,
much exposed to danger from birds Of
prey in open places, natural selection
has insured its being very protectively
colored; in other words, all those ptar-
migan that could readily be e have
been eaten by hawks or similar enemies,
and only those birds have been left to
breed and reproduce their like which
exactly matched the color Of the ground
at all seasons. So admirably has this
result at last been attained (by what
somebody has boldly described as the
masked benefcence'' Of the birds Of
prey that one may walk through the
very midst of . covey of ptarmigan. as
they squat close ~ the ground, without
eve so much as perceiving a single
bird. Moreover. the ptarmigan varies
its garb with the time of year
as regularly and religiously as the dra-
per in Regent street. Not content with
. single change, it goes in for separate
winter, spring and autumn fashions.
During the height Of summer, when the
from snow, it becomes dark in hue to
suit the surrounding rocks. In autumn,
when the abundance Of MOSES and lich-
ems gives a gray appearance to b
country. says Mr.. Bowdler Sharpe. it
dresses itself afresh in an ashy-gray
tint And, finally. in winter when the
snow lies thick around, it hides itself
sedulously in snow-white plumage.
This treble change of hue every year
is probably unexampled in any other
bird or animal. Ptarmigan are very
large feeders. because they live on twigs
of ling. crowberry and other extremely
innutritious foodstufs. not ever despis-
ing willow leaves, rushes, sedge and
costongrass. None of these a be ac-
curately described as luxurious or IN

consequence is that the poor birds have

GlLLET1ES Statement.
VIVA He Says Burke Told Him Concerninl
Cronin's Murder.

Cronin . MURDER.
WINNIPEG. Man, Nov. S.-Assistaat
States Attorney Baker, Of Chicago, had
a long interview with Bob Hefer, and
from him received q confederation Of
many Of the details connected with the
butchery of Cronin which Gillette re-
counted on Thursday.
Burke, according TO Gillette, took a
fancy to Hefer at first and was very
communicative with him. telling him
mans details of the crime. He told
Hefer that Coughlin was the main actor
in the crime. He told Hef.er that sand
bags were used by two Of the assassins.
while the third welded q common base
ball club.
Burke was under the impression that
Cronin was being decoyed to the cottage
under the pretext that he was going TO
attend the woman mentioned in Fridays
dispatch.
Four men were waiting in the cottage
for him. They listened for the sound
Of wheels. At last the carriage drove
up and an instant later the doctor hur-
ried Up TO the door. He knocked loudly
and hastily a. if ne realized that his
presence was urgently required
Two OF the assassipS stood behind the
door ready to strike. while one Of the
others, from the inner room, called out
in a loud voice. '-come in" The door
was quickly opened and the doctor
strobe in.

fell heavily 10 the floor.
The momen the doctor was down the
whole four rushed on him with sandbags
and clubs and pounded the life out OF
him
Then the murderers stripped the
bloo5-stained clothing of, and n OF
them pounded his face SO as TO make it
impossible TO recognize the body.
Couchlin then hauled the trunk over
and the body was crammed into it. One
Of the quartette went out and brought
al express wagon which had been left in
convenient place.
The trunk and its contents were taken
70 the lake, Coughlin driving the horse
There was no boat at the point TO which
they went and they tried 70 shove the
trunk out into the water, but it would
not work.
Anxious 70 get rid Of the body in
some way, Burke suggested that it be
thrown into a catch-basin. The sugges-
ton was adopted
When they wen 70 carry the trunk
ou;, blood was dripping from it and it
ran on the floor and on the boots Of some
Of them The trunk was Set down and
the leaks in the t-nnk stopped with cot
ton batting. which was found in the doc
tors instrument case
Burke always declined to say Who
truck the first blow. and this fact. Mr..
Baker says. makes it quite CLAIR that is
was Burke himself, else he would have
mentioned the name. He always spoke
about the four taking part in the crime
and pounding the doctor 1t the same
