During the latter part of May or early

cloth covered furniture, furs, and rugs

and, if possible, exposed to the sun
light as long as practicable. If the
house is Daddy infested or if any partic
ular article is supposed to be badly in
tested, a free use of benZine, in the
manner mentioned in my last article,
will be advisable. All floor cracks and
dark closets should be sprayed with this

POULTRY RAISING.
Marketing Poultry.

If YOU are near market for dressed
poultry. It Will pay you to know how to
prepare It, in order to obtain the best
price. TO know this, study your mai g.
ket, find out what manner of dressing IL
demanded and dress yours in that way.
There are some general directions tina.
will always come to play.
First, in fattening poultry give them
all they will eat--corn is preferable, NJ
poultry fattened on it is more yellow
and better than that fattened on any
other grain; and remember that you will
not only get pay for every pound youi
poultry gains in fattening, but by i'm
proving the quality you gain one fourth
to one half in price on the whole.
Second, food in the crop Injuries the
appearance, is liable to sour, and pur-
chasers object to this worse than use
less weight; therefore keep the fowls
from food twenty four hours before
killing. All poultry, but more especially
turkeys, should be killed by bleeding in
the neck, and picked while the body is
warm.
For the Boston market an old shipper
followed this plan. Never scald poul
try. AS soon as picked, take off the
head at the throat, strip the blood out
of the neck, peel back the skin little,
u
Just before packing in warm weather,
draw the skin tightly over the end and
tie and trim neatly. Draw the intestines,
making the incisions as small as possi-
bic, and leave the giZzard, heart, etc,
in. Pull out the wing and tail feathers
clean.
Third, poultry should be entirely cold,
but not frozen, before being packed. If
packed with the animal heat in, 1t viii
be almost sure to spoil. Sort your poul-
try carefully, and have the No. / stock
of uniform quality. Pack the No. 2
stock in separate packages. If you have
any old Tom turkeys, put them in e.
separate package or with the No. stock.
Line the boxes with clean paper, but
never use straw in pacing, and never
paper wrap poultry. Pack as closely as
possible, back upwards, legs out straight,
and see that the boxes are so full that
when the covers are nailed on there can
be no possibility of the contents shift
ing about Boxes are the best packages,
and should contain from 100 to 300
pounds. Larger boxes are announcement,
and more liable to get injured.
Fourth, mark the kind on the cover,
the gross weight and correct tare. Never
practice any deception in tares of pack
ages, or IN packing the poultry, for the
buyer will find it out and your commits
sion man will have to make it right, and
the reputation of your mark is injured
and it will be avoided when known as
not reliable. The address of the firm to
which the package is shipped should
also be marked on the cover, and the
initial or shipping mark of the party
shipping. Send full advice and invoice
by mail Immediately after the goods are
Skinned.

A Lawyers Liberality.

1t was in the town Of Stoneham that
there abode lawyer, thrifty and keen
in his pursuit of the root of all evil.
And of him 1t is told that on one occa-
sion he was employed by poor widow
to collect debt OF S23.47, which was
due her.
The lawyer succeeded with little diff
ficulty III securing the money, the per-
son who owed it being ready enough to
defraud the poor widow, but having a
wholesome fear OF the law before his
eyes. The lawyer Gent or the widow to
tell her of his success, and great was
her joy, since sorely did she need it.
Il suppose" she said, with hesita-
ton, after he had related his success.
THAT l owe you something for your
work"
"Well," he replied with an air of the
greatest magnanimity, 81 ought to
chargeyou $685. but know you are poor,
and you need not bother about the other

And the widow went home sorrowful,
but wiser than she bad been before.

Butter will not keep we'll under any
and sweet when packed. If made in
warm weather without proper facilities
for cooling the milk and cream, the
butter is likely to be oily and without
the grain" so characteristic of high
grade article. Good butter that has a
perfect grain will not stick to the knife
that cuts it. There are several preserv-
ing processes that have been adopted in
different countries, and all no doubt
answer the purpose, provided the butter
is sound and sweet when packed away.
The Orange County, y. y, dairymen
are said to practice the following
method of preserving butter; to ten
ounces fine salt add two ounces of the
best brown sugar. The sugar and salt
are evenly mingled and one ounce of
the mixture used for every pound of
butter and well worked in. The butter
is then closely packed and set away in a
cool, well-ventilated room or cellar.
Other dairmen use one ounce each of
white sugar and saltpetre and two ounces
pure salt, and these 4 ifferent ingredi-
ents are mixed and one ounce of the
mixture added to each pound of the
butter Some of our farmers who make
but moderate quantity of butter pre-
serve 1t by packing in stone jars and
keep 1t covered with pure brine, rs this

FROM the tnlcngO I1Tne9.
Herbert Spencer, the English philos-
opher, who has published many essays
on a variety of subjects, writes to a
friend in Chicago that the railway NOR
ais ana the railway policy of the United
States are in no way inferior to those OF
England. He thinks that the Inter
state Law is an evolution of the parlia-
mentary laws regulating trains. He as
serts that the history of English railways
since 1915 shows an elaborate system OF
tactics by which con panies have been
betrayed into rulnouS undertakings that
benefit the few at the cost OF the many.
He thinks there is more unblushing
corruption by railroads in the English
House oil Commons in the past decade
than has ever taken place in the fed
eral or state legislatures since railways
became public highways. lie says that
to-day there are over $50 members OF
Parliament, who are simply the agents
of railways and similar corporations.
Most of these are harrlsters, who owe
their election to the influence of the
roads they serve. These parliamentary
LAWYERS serve their masters and sup
porters of new projects, make no sub
rosa statement of the number oS votes
they can command in the house, but
proclaim it openly. Members of both
houses are canvassed openly, and any
railway legislation involves an enor-
nous outlay.
In past years it has been shown that
parliamentary expenses have varied
from s3 600 to $4,000 per mile, the
largest proportion of which has gone
into the pockets of the parliamentary
lawyers. The legal and parliamentary
expenses for one company averaged Tor
the past ten years over $260,Gt ler an
mum. He thinks that the Union Pa
ciGc scandal of the Garfield period
VIXEN Oake Ames' noe book contained
the names of james Brooks, Schuyler
Colfax and others who bad received
stock, would have been regarded as a
perfectly legitimate transaction i'll En-
g'and.
Mr.. Spencer has placed himself at the
head of league to secure railway re-
form in Great Britain, where the total
capital invested in companies exceeds
81 son, COO 900. Considering that much
of this vast sum is held by persons with
no income but that derived from 1T, ii
has become important that railroad
property should be placed on secure
footing, bounds put to unwarranted ex-
tensions, and intrigues prevented be-
tween lawyers, engineers, contractors,
and others.

BEE CULTURE.


Eastwood Honey.
believe Eastwood to be the greatest
hohey producer in the world, says q.
Nj. Doolittle in the American Bee Jour
nal. In fact no report has ever been
given (if | am correct of an average
yield of twenty pounds per day from a
single colony for thirty days in success
sion, except from Eastwood. MIR. Gallup
had a colony do this. had one which
stored that for about ten days, the best
yield being siXty-six pounds IN three
days.
By going back over my account with
my bees for the past sixteen years, find
that from Eastwood alone, my yield of
honey has not been far from sixty
pounds, on an average, from each col
ony, each year; the lightest yield being
about thirty five pounds, aud the heay-
lest 100 pounds. This is the average
yield of the yard, not the yield of an in
dividual colony.
The fruit buds and leaflets of all trees
with which | am familiar, are formed in
June and July of the preceding year, SO
that the results of the next season
honey yield. rs far as buds and flowers
are concerned are already formed in
embryo, on the apparently bare and life
less branches of the Eastwood trees.
They wait only for the warmth of
spring, to bring this dormant life into
growth.
never knew a season when the bass
wood did not furnish some honey. The
shortest Weld which L ever knew gave a
three days yield, in which honey was so
plentiful that the bees could not pre-
pare room fast enough to store it, with q
gradual tapering off of two days more,
making five days in all. The longest
Nial1 nf
three of them so cold that th e bees could
only wofk IA little in the middle of the
day.
The state of the atmosphere has much
to do with the secretion of honey in the
Eastwood flowers. The most unfavor-
able weather Is cold, rainy, cloudy
spell, with the wind in the northwest.
If Eastwood bloomed at a time Of year
when We were liable to have much of
such weather, there might be such a
thing as an entire failure of honey from
it. But as rule, we have very little
such weather at this time of year.
The condition most favorable to n
large yield is, when the weather is very
warm. and the air filled with electricity.
This nectar is honey and not sweotened
water, which makes Eastwood doubly
valuable over most of the other honey
secreting plants and trees.
One bee load of nectar from the bass
a5od, iii dry, warm time, is equal to
three from the white clover, or five from
some other of our flowers. In n rainy
time there is not so marked difference.
At times when Eastwood was yielding
its best, l have seen more than a bee
load of honey in single flower | have
taken one stem of blossoms, when the
yield was great, and Jared it over my

of nice honey in it. At such times IS
this, l 900 colonies of bees could find
all the honey which they could carry, if
all were left in one place; at all other
times, / think from 100 to 300 colonies
would be ample for any locality,

Dairy Dots,

one is doing, is glest help to the dairy
farmer. 1t cables him tc get rid of
poor mixers and replace them with good
ones, and. the latter cost nomore to keen

PROF. E. W. STEWART, who is noted for
his experiments in stockfeeding, states
that one ounce, or less, of oil.meal to q
gallon of warm, sweet whey will make
( nearly equal in feeding value to ole
milk for raising a calf to three weeks
old, and after that another quarter of an
ounce may be safely added. The oil
meals hould be dissolved in hot whey
before mixing with that of the right

milk With an agreeable, sweet odor, and

quality whatever, says Hoards DARN
man. That such milk is very rare is
simply because such cows are rare. and
this is the reason why the very best
