Poultry for Market.

Before poultry is sent to market it
should be well fattened, as there is a
great difference between the price Of Sat
and that of poor poultry, and in a fully
stocked market good poultry, well fat
tened and we'll dressed, VIII always com
mand ready sale at high prices. There
fore there is not only gain in weight By
having poultry properly dressed, but
also in price. Corn is the best for finish
ing off poultry, rs it gives a h11ner flesh
and yellower color than buclwheat and
other grains. Feed nothing from twelve
10 twenty-four hours before killing, SO
that the crops, will be perfectly empty.
There is much TO be learned about
dressing poultry, says Field and Farm.
For dry picking, kill by bleeding in the
mouth, and Immediately strip the
feathers off clean while the fowl is
warm, using great care not 10 teal
or bruise the flesh. Then hang up by
the legs TO cool Off, the same as for
scalded fowls. Some persons also dc
what is called half scalding, which is
after dry picking clearly, to dip in scald-
ing water, then in cold, Turkeys, duck
and geese go through the same process IN
dressing as fowls, both scalding and dry
picking. Some persons, after the dnck'

free them from pin feathers rub th&s

ing water and rub off the rosin and pin
feathers; then wash thoroughly with
warm water and brush with soap; thsr

The common species Of the cut worm
sewers the stalks of the Young corn either
