POULTRY FOR MARKET.

Directions for Preparing Poultry for Sale
 by New York Commission Firm.
 An ordinance in force in New York city prohibits the sale of turkeys or chickens unless their crops are free from food or other substance and shrunken close to the body. This law makes it imperative that poultry dressors should keep their poultry from food long enough before killing to insure the crops being entirely empty. According to the commission firm of E. & o. Ward, 1t is best to keep poultry designed for market from food twenty-four hours previous to killing to insure the crops being entirely empty, though in some cases twelve hours has been found sufficient.
 Kill all kinds of poultry by cutting through the roof of the mouth to the brain with sharp pointed knife. Leave the head and legs on and never "draw" the entrails. Pinfeathery young tur- keys, ducks or geese should not be killed, but kept until full fedged. Poultry should be fat before killing. The usual quality sells best scalded. The legs and necks of turkeys and chickens should be dry picked immediately after killing; this will keep them from discoloring when exposed to the air. The water for scalding should be boiling hot. Immerse the bird, holding it by the legs, and lift up and down in the water three or four times. Immediately after scalding chickens and turkeys, remove the feath- CTS, pinfcathers and all, very cleanly and without breaking the skin.
 After scaIding ducks and geese, wrap them in a cloth about ten minutes, then the down will roll of with the feathers. All poultry should be ''plumped" after picking, by dipping for about two seconds in boiling hot water, then thrown into cold water and left for ten CT twelve minutes.
 Very fat and handsome chickens and turkeys generally sell little higher when dry picked, and from far distant points they carry better. Poultry looks much leaner when dry picked than wher scaided and "plumped;' therefore only very fat stock should be dry picked Ducks and geese are preferred ecalded Carefully avoid cutting or bruisng thf flesh or breaking the bones.

A Recipe for Corned Rsex.

First cover the meat with brine, just strong enough to barely float an egg, for twenty-four hours, take it out and wash it in cold water to take out all the blood, throw the bloody brine away, and for 100 pounds of beef, or in the same propor- ton for other quantities, make a new pickle by dissolving six pounds of salt, two pounds of brown sugar and two ounces of saltpetre in water sufficient to cover the meat; skim it well before pour ing it on, and if much scum arises on it afterwards before the meat is used up, scald it, skim it and pour it back when cold. Keep in cool and well ventilated place. For summer keeping or for the southern states little more salt should be used

wsr Canning Prn.arxsa Eruit.

Some of our farmers wives may be glad to understand just why scaling fruit up in air tight cans or bottles keeps it from spelling. Germs of ferments and molds are everywhere present in the air. So long as fruits are alive and growing in healthy state they are mostly proof against decomposing agents, but as soon as they lose their vi tality through changed conditions, with but few exceptions they soon and easily spoil. When preserved fruit is put into cans or bottles hot and perfectly sealed while in that condition, the germs of de- cay present in the fruit and can are killed by the heat, and the sealing excludes the germs on the outside from coming into contact with the fruit.

Corn in Tirht CPiI,z.

Three years experience in storing corn in tight crib or granary proves this: If the corn. when husked, be fairly dry, it will do to put it in tight building, pro vided the weather be dry during the fall and the winter be steady, cold one, followed by drought the next season. But if the following season be wet, the corn will not keep well. No more tight corn cribs for us.-Prairie Farmer.

Birdaazs-Xiis Xiss l.!s World.

There IS wide spread demand by all readers and students for a work that shall furnish compactly and at tractively, all the essential facts and statistics of the different regions of the world, and the races that inhabit them. All this information has been lndustriously sought, carefully tested and proved, and is brilliantly told in one handy and handsome volume by Onesime Reclus, the famous French Geographer and Savant.
 The author has really succeeded to a surprising degree in accomplishing his purpose. It is just what it's title represents it to be--a look all around the wcrld-but 1t is the world seen through eyes of the largest intelligence and described with inimitable vigor. freshness and picturesque grace, com bined with studious and painstaking accuracy. The result is the story of the world. The more the volume is looked into the greater is the sense of its wide scope and its masterly prepar- ation. Attractive reading for the fam fly gathered around the evening lamp, 1t is also handy Look for immediate reference for the busy man who would illuminate his daily news with more accurate information.
 In brief, a great deal of hard work, painstaking and skill have gone into the preparation of this volume which IS no catch-penny concern, presenting huddled mass of pitch-forked facts to the innocent reader under the pre- tense Of encyclopedia information. It IS what 1t professes to be, short view of all the countries under the sun, sc arranged and digested that a great deal of interesting and useful knowl edge is packed handily in & limited space. While a child would never tire of the fascination of the facts iilumi mated by 375 illustrations of which 89 are full page, the most thoroughly read man will find on every page some. thing, the importance of which he never so fully realized as when a geographical expert presents 1t witt scientific effect ill attractive phraseo logy. The man who prepared thi, work is a genius in such effort. There are no weak spots in 1t. The pub fishers have done their best for tht mechanical part of the work and theil enterprise leaves nothing to be de sired in that respect.
 The J. Dewing Company, 813 Mark ct St., San Francisco, Cal, are the sole agents for the work this side of tn, Rocky Mountains and all application, for agencies should be addressed tc them.

The stages were the victims of a little misfortune this week. Last Sunday as the Globe stage was re- ceiying the mail in front of the post office the horses started to run away. The driver quickly caught up the reins, but one of them broke and the frightened animals took to the side walk up Main street and finally brought up against a tree in front of Mir. Wm. E. Guilds residence. The following day the Silver King stage was overturned while coming from Silver King, by striking rock by the side of the rough road above Pinal, and the top of the vehicle was badly wrecked. Four passengers were on board, but they fortunately escaped injury beyond few trivial bruises.
