A Monkey Temperance Lesson,

In my youth, saws writer in an exchange,
had II friend who had IA monkey. We al
ways took him out ON our chestnut parties
HeShOuk all our CheStuuts for us. One daY my
friend stopped at IA tavern and gave Jack
about half glass of whisky. Jack took the
glass and drank IFS contents, the effects of
which soon set him skipping, hopping and
dancing. Jack was drunk. We agreed TO
como to the tavern next day and see If Jack
would drink again.
| Culled in the morning at my friends
house. hut instead of heing, as usual, ON his
box, Jack was not 10 I've seen. We looked I'M
side, and there he was crouched up in n heap
"Comc, said his master. Jack came out on
three legs, applying his lore-paw to his head
Jack had the headache He was sick and
couldn't 20. SO we put it OIL three days We
then met again at the tavern and provided "A
glass for Jack. But where was hei Skulking
behind chairs. Come here, Jack said his
master. holding the glass out to him.
Jack retreated, and as the door opened he
Slipped out and in moment was ON the top
OF the house. His muster called him down.
Jack refused tu obey. NV friend got IA whip
aud shook It at nm, The monkey continued
ON the ridgepole His maSter got a gun and
pointed it Mt him. Jack slipped over to the back
of the huilIing. lie then got two guns and
had one poin ed ON each side of the house,
when the monkey Jumped upon the chimney
and got down in one of the llues and held on
10y his iore-paws. My friend kept that
monkey twelve years afterward, hut never
asked him again to take whisky. - Wisconsin

Poultry for Market.

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 dressers should
keep their poultry from food long enough
before killing to insure the crops being
entirely empty According to we'll
known commission firm, it is best to
keep poultry designated for market from
food twenty-four hours previous to kill
ing to insure the crops being entirely
empty, tho gh in some cases twelve
hours has been found su ncient. Kill all
kinds by cutting through the roof of the
mouth to the brain with a sharp. pointed
knife. Leave the head and legs on, and
never "draw" the entrails. Piu-feathery
young turkeys, ducks or geese should
not be killed, but kept until full -fedged.
Poultry should be at before killing.
The usual quality sells best scaded. The
legs d necks of turkeys and chickens
should be dry picked Immediately after
killing; this viii, keep them from dis
cooring when eXpused to the air. The
water for scalding should be boiling hot.

and lift up and down in the water three
or iour times lmme lately after scald-
ing chickens and turkeys, remove tho
feathers, pin-feathers and all, very
cleanly and without breaking the skin.
After scalding ducks and geese, wrap
them in a cloth about ten minutes; then
the down will roll off with The feathers.
All poultry should be "plumped" after
picking, by dipping it for about two
seconds in boiling HOT water then thrown
into cold water and left for ten or twelve
minutes.

turkeys generally sell little higher when

they carry better. Poultry looks much

The Winter Dairy.

Any enterprise out of the common,
but well managed, and having for its
oh ect some product in staple demand,
is certain to be profitable. caring early
lambs for spring sa es is such AN enter
prise; forcing strawberries, the cutting
of watercress, aud many other special
products, have all realized satisfactory
profits. But the winter dairy is an in!
dustry in which a staple product is pro-
duced at a season when it is scarce and
rarely of good quality, and when every
part of the acces' ory farm work can be
done more easily and cheaply than at
any other time. Cows have to be fed in
winter anyhow; the dairy calls for much
indoor work; it is easier to keep the
milk warm in this season than to cool it
in summer; there is leisure from field
work, which presses in the summer
good butter brings double price in win
ter; and the cows that are yielding but
ter at this season are at their vacation in
the summer, when they can be turned to
pasture and require no care that will in
terfere with the cultivation of the crops.
A winter dairy and the culture of valua-
BILE market crops 60 nicely together, and
furnish regular and easy employment
through the whole year.
The patient housewife gives undivided
attention to her house and garden and
her pet poultry; worries over no sour
milk, nor frets in the stifliug heat over
the churn, with all its summer difficult
ties; but enjoys the genial season and
prepares with comfort for the much
easier management of the dairy, when
no other employments interfere with il.
The convenient modern Improvements of
the dairy are we'll adapted for winter
use, and the cheap and simple ordinary
milkpans are all that can be desired at
the season when the cheaper fuel can be
used for warmth easier than the dearer
ice for the purpose of cooling. For
feeding cows in winter dairy there is
no better food than clover hay, we'll
cured corn fodder, and corn meal and
bran. There is too much risk in feeding
silage or sacrificing the quality OF the
butter. The stable must be warm, light,
airy, and arranged so as to secure perfect
cleanliness. Pure water from a we'll aud
never to be given cooler than fifty de-
grees, is indispensable. Some succulent
food is desirable. Pumpkins are spec
tally useful in winter dairy, and
mangels are the best roots. Turnips are
not admissible. To warm the water is
waste of labor when a good deep we'll is
available; good feeding and robust
health will keep the COWS warm enough,
but the stable should never be so cold
that the manure will freeze in it. Card.
ing the cattle keeps the skin in good
condition, and helps TO maintain Tho
vital warmth. -Ns1 York Tribune.
