BULBS FOR WINTER rrocvrRNo

The bulbs should be potted as o as
they oan be had in a compost consisting
OF good loan and rotten manure and road
grit, in equal parts, and should be lust
covered with soil, and the whole well
watered with a hose. When the wuter
mas soaked away they should be stood
upon a firm bottom in the frame ward
ana coal ashes put over them TO the
depth of six or seven inches; here hey
should remain until the pot is full Of
roots. This is the object obtained by
covering with ashes; the crown of the
Dub being kept cool and dark with the
covering, the roots grow away in advance
OF the tops, and so the plants become
htted to yield a good bloom, and here we
would say to beginners in bulb culture
lies the great secret of success. We have
seen people who ought to have known
better pot bulbs and place them at once
into a greenhouse for towering, or into n
stove Tor carly bloom. OF course thew
were disappointed, but rs a rule the dual
lty oil the bulb has been blamed and not
the foolish treatment which il has re-
celved. Now, we say to all who wish
Tor early flowers of Roman hyacinths, get
them as early as possible and treat them
as we have directed and a grand bloom
Will be the result. Never subject them

away from the body which will e%nioint

no unsightly, ragged edges, 10 betray
your lack Of skill. Cut the membrane
down between the breast and tail 10 the
backbone, and separate just below the
ribs; find the joint in the neck by NOV
ing IT back and forth until il is uniointed,
then cut close 10 the body; cut the wish
bone in a slanting direction from the
breastbone, down toward the neck. Find
the joint in the shoulder blade and sep
%arate; divide the breast from the back
by cutting through the cartilage meet
ing the ribs; the breast should be left
whole, except for boiling or frying. Re-
move all fat from the fowl that can be
done with ease, and substitute butter i'm
Its preparation; where slices of salt pork
can he used it lessons the amount of but
ter needed. The fat taken from the
fowl can be fried out, and added TO the
meat dripping used for the many pur-
poses of the kitchen, but never put it
with the lard used for pastry, for the
chicken flavor will readily be detected.
In aerving broiled or roast fowl, be
sure that your platter is large enough to
save the carver the annoyance of having
his slices fall on your cloth. There
should be a generous allowance of room
for the meat to lie in order around the
carved fowl, without hanging over the
edge of the dish. Before announcing the
dinner be sure and see that the thin
blade of the carving knife is bright and
sharp; the fork should be strong, with
long tines and a guard. The work may
be lone either standing or sitting, the
main point being to do it neatly, with
out scattering crumbs or gravy, and to
slice and divide the meat i'm such n
manner that each may be served equally
well. The wings and breast meat are
considered the choicest portions, and
where there arc ladies at the table. it is
courtesy to help them of this portion.
Ease may be acquired in carving if one
will study the anatomy of an uncooked
fowl in the kitchen department, by dis
secting one for a fricassee, according to
the direction just given. Learn to hold
the knife and fork easily, as strength is
not required so much as knowledge of
fowl anatomy. 1t is best to make your
hrst efforts in the presence of the family
circle alone.-GOOd HousekeepiRg
