Cracked Corn for Poultry.

The principal reason for having corn cracked is to get it small enough so that the chickens can swallow it. This is all very well if the poultry keeper is not too far from the mill: but many cannot pro cure cracked corn as often as desirable, yet have ample facilities for raising corn. 1t is for the interest of such persons to raise a kind of corn with very small kernels, especially for chickens. There are varieties of popcorn which meet the case and furnish fair yield. This corn may be kept an indefinite time without injury, and the kernels are of the right size to be easily swallowed. The Dwarf Pearl corn has the smallest kernels of any variety, and ct the same time af- lords sizable ears and goodly number on stalk, so that it yields well. Poultry Yard.

MAKING REeE.
Why Butchers Pay More for One Reeve
 Than Another of the Same Weight.

Why Butchers Pay More for One Reeve
 Than Another of the Same Weight.
 Making beef so that the better class of consumers want it or do not want it, and consequently so that it may be profitable or unpro:itable. is largely a matter of how the bOnes are covered, says National Stockman. Two calves-twins, for that matter-may be taken from the same farm by different men, fed the same length of time, sold at the same age and in the same market. and command diff ference of cent or more per pound-for such things are done every day. How IS this to be accounted for?
 The butcher can explain it. and will do so by telling you that with practi- cally the same weight of bones in the two animals he has in one case beeve which will dress sixty pounds or more to the hundred weight. while in the other he is glad to make fifty: that one is rounded out with juicy. tender flesh worth pound for pound more than that of the other, even if the quantity yielded was the same; that among people who know the quality of beef at sight he can sell one animal in half the time he can get rid of the other; that while he is in- dependent of any but cash customers in selling the one, he is often fain to even trust the uncertain in order to sell all of the other; that every pound of the former he sends out advcrtises his busi- ness, while in selling the other he docs so at the risk of injuring his reputation among discriminating consumers.
 While we might clearly cite other req sons why the butcher is clearly justified in paying much more for one beeve than another these will suffice: and now let us see why the calves have such dis similar outcomcs. To make long story short, it is a matter which lies wholly with the feeders. Given the same stock and the sane market. one has done his work well, and the other has failed. One has used his food to advantage and the other has wasted it. One has fed judi ciously, liberally. systematically, and for positive end, knowing every step as it was taken; while the other has done his work loosely, carelessly and irregularly, losing by neglect at one point as much as he gained at another. and getting through without any special idea in con- nection with the whole matter further than to wonder why he is never as "lucky'' as his neighbor. This thing is being done over and over again every day. Reader, in.wldch way do you feed?

Keeplns onIons Throuah Winter.

At the north, where the onions are stored for winter use. the crop is pulled wllen about three fourths of the plants have turned yellow .sllriveled and dried the neck sufficiently to,topPle over. As al rule the onions are allowed to remain spread fortnight or more to dry before being stored. At the south. the crop bcing wanted for an early market and immediate use, the onions are pulled, as these successivcly indicate maturity by toppling over, md are left on the ground a day or two, or removed at once and the necks cut of with a sharp knife, an inch or so from the bulh, when they are carefully packed in bushcl crates and shipped
 The essentials for the preservation of onions are dryness, ventilation, coolness and freedom from frost, CT if frozen they must not be permitted to tlaw out and freeze again. A popular method of keeping onions is to spread straw to the depth of one foot or eighteen inches, ac- cording to climate, upon the barn floor. scalfold or garret: upon this spread the onions six to ten inches deep, and cover with two feet of straw. If in good con- dition and sufficient depth of covering is used, they will keep in fine condition till May.
 A cool. dry cellar of some outbuildmg, barn or carriage house will he found ex- cellcnt for keeping onions, if 1t has win ,lows for ventilation. The cellar of a dwelling house is usually too warm.
Arizona weekly enterprise., 1889-02-23


 Many farmers practice spreading onions on scalfolds about six inches deep, with room enough between the boards for the air to circulate. On approach of cold weather close the doors and windows, and keep the temperature just above the freezing point. With proper care they can thus be kept without freezing at all, and will come out nice and sound in the spring.
 In the cut. for which thanks are due to D. NJ. ForIy. of Detroit, the well known Michigan seed man. are shown samples of popular varieties of onions. In this cut may be seen to advantage the differ ence in forms and comparative sizes of the several varieties depicted. No. l, Extra Early Red; No. ?.

 The superiority of French dressed poul- fry is much written and talked about, and appears to be due to three things; first the care taken in breeding table fowls; second, the methods of fattening; and third the admirable way in which the birds are trlIssed when offered for sale. A common plan in France is to keep the chickens that are to be fattcned in square pens barely large enough for them to move in. These pens are kept dark and warm, but are well ventilated and clean. In these confined quarters the birds are fed regularly and often, on food prepared with special view to the production of Hosh.

A good many theories have been in- dulged in on the subject, and what were thought reliable signs, based generally on the shape of the eggs, believed by good many people, but those who have given the subject care and study and subjected what were supposed to be male and fe- male eggs to the test of matching, have quite generally arrived at the conclusion that there is no other way of determin- ing tho question.

A eRAHNINo MACHINE.

Another means of fattening fowls in France is by means of a revolving cage or table divided into compartments In the. cut--a reproduction from Poultry Yard shown one of these examining machines, which is described as follows:
 Each fowl is fastened by small chain and clasp around one leg, allowing slight motion. As the heads of the birds are all turned outward. they are easy of ac- cess by the operator. who may stand in one position, the table turning. The neck of each bird is gr;lsped in turn by the left hand of the operator, the bcak forced open, the nozzle of flexible tube carefully inserted, and then, by press ing on a pedal, a portion of prepared food, enough to fill the crop. is injected. Thus the machine works till all have re- ceived portion, or, in other words. have been completely stuffed. This process is repeated three times day. Chickens are fattened in, about two weeks. In some respects this method tx superior to any other for attaining tle object. All agree that confinement is necessary. By this arrangement the excrements full down through the center of the machine; the birds are not compelled to wallow in t!eir own filth. They may breathe pure air and take their food without effort,
 Each bird gets his full ration. and when that has passed along he gets another Nostronger bird can fight Him away or stir up combativeness and thus hinder digestion. The machine is oper- ated with ease. and the time employed in feeding great number is greatly re duccd. and ii is said that the meat pro duced by this method is very superior in tenderness and juiciness.
 Many think the above process a cruel ode, but Beale, high English authority in sllch matters, says that he has watched the process repeatedly, and can vouch for the fact that the birds are always eager for their turn to come,
