How to Kill aud Dress Fowls,

Turkeys should not be fed for II hours
and it would be better not to feed them
for "a hours before killing. This permits
the removal of the crop through a much
smaller incision near the neck without
danger of tearing the adjacent parts. Be-
fore killing, tie the feet of the turkey to-
gether aud suspend it head downward
from pole, place its head upon a wooden
block and sever the neck near the head
with quick blow from sharp Ak. Let
the fowl remain in this position for few
minutes until it bIeeds freely, as that rem
ders the flesh clear white and improves
it's keeping quality Pluck quickly while
still warm, tor the feathers then come out
easily and there is no danger of tearing
the tender skin. If this precaution is
observed, there is no need of scalding; hot
water cooks the delicate skin and leaves it
blotched and discolored. Poultry that has
been in scalding water also shrlnks con-
siderably upon being cooled, while the
skin appears drawn In some places and
wrinkled in others. rypicked poultry
presents much more attractive appear
ance, and keeps fresh and pIump-iooking
for greater length of time. Indeed the
better plan is never to let it come in con-
tact with water either Eot or cold; even
after removing the visce:a, the opening
for which should be made just below tue
breast bone, the cavity should simply DE
wiped Lut with damp cloth.

Only few days after the arrival of the
Hausmans young man put in his APP

Dixon. He was of a good appearance,

And blown the sad skies ones more clear,
And awakened from slumber the sweet New

You'll see them clustered against the sky,
The little brown buds that rock and swing,

The most important study for the far

Facts Which Show That the Nc

tariff was enacted, the price ofrubber curry

1891, after it had been in force three
months, the price had fallen to $3.50 a

Improve the Breed

1t appears to some farmers that the
stocking with pure breeds is expensive,
and for that reason they are slow to use
something better than the stock they
have; but it is not expensive to grade up
the stock, as a single male may improve an
entire herd or flock. Improv ment adds
size and productigeness, and it is loss to
him who fails to make his young stock
superior to the old ones. By aiming for
something better it will be but few
years before the entire herd has changed
characteristics, and will possess a greater
value as we'll as give a larger profit.

WHY POTATOES RUN OUT.

While They Do, 1t Is Not Necessary.
In re, ponse to the query why farmers and
others believe that potatoes, after term
of years, deterlorate or run out, cores
pondent of The Germantown Telegraph
writes: There are several reasons for be-
lieving that they do run out. but no valid
reason for believing that they should run
out if proper seed is planted IN the right
kind of soil at the proper time. The po
tato can be grown to perfection only upon
high ground little inclined to be dry
not sandy, but a strong loan that is light
and fine. Good corn land will usually
produce good potatoes, but the practice
has often been to plant them where the
corn would not grow we'll Low, wet
heavy. clayey or mucky soils are insult
able fo1 potato growing; the tubers will
always be poor and watery. Such soils
are lacking in the necessary mineral ele-
ments, therefore the potato is not perfectly
matured.
PLANTING POOR SEED
upon poor ground for a series of years in
succes sion will have tendency to run out
any variety, however good. Planting late.
after the sprouts get along and are knock
