PREPARING POULTRY FOR MARKET.
Directions Furnished by the Boston
Chamber of Commerce.


Killing and Dressing-Food in crop in
lures the appearance, is liable to sour,
and purchasers object to paying for this
worse than useless weight; therefore,
keep from food twelve hours before kill
Ing. All poultry, but more especially
turkeys, should be killed by bleeding in
tho neck and picked while the body IS
warm; and in no case should poultry be
scalded; wet picked poultry is not wanted
in this market and will not sell for what
it is worth As soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel back
the skin little, remove q portion of the
neck bone. then Just before packing, ex-
cept in warm weather, draw the skin
over the end and tie and trim neatly.
Draw the intestines, making the incision
rs small as possible, and leave the gizzard,
heart. etc, in. Pull out the wing and
tail feathers clean. Undrawn poultry
can be sold to a limited extent when there
is no other to be had, provided there is
no food in the crop or entrails, but, as
rule, has to go at very low prices.
Packing Poultry should be entirely
cold but not frozen, before being packed.
If packed with the animal heat in, it will
he almost sure to spoil. Sort your poultry
carefully and have the No. l stock of
uniform quality. Pack the No. stock
in separate packages. If You have any
old bull turkeys, put them in II separate
package or with the NO. stock. Line
the boxes with clean paper, but never use
straw in packing and never wrap the
birds in paper. Pack as closely as posi-
bic, backs upward, legs ont straight, and
sec that the boxes are SO full that when
the covers are nailed on there can be no
possibility Of the contents shifting about.
Boxes are the best packages, and should
contain from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger
boxes are inconyenient to handle and
moro liable to get injured.
Marking and Shipping Mark the kind
on the cover, the gross weight and cor
rect tare Never practice any deception
in tares of packages or in packing the
poultry, for the buyer will find it ont and
your commission man Will have to make
it right the reputation Of your mark j,
injured, and it Will be avoided when
known as not reliable The address of
the firm to whom the package is shipped
should also be marked on the cover, and

MARES FOR FARM WORK.
European Farmers breed the Working
Instinct Info Draft Horaes.

Much of the success Of the French and
English farmers in breeding draft horses
is in the fact that they use the mares to
do the teamwork, and they are the more
regular breeders and tho instinct for
work is bred into the colt, bus too many
Of our farmers keep the mares in idleness
especially If they have choice, high bred
mares. They are too good to work, and
they are kept fat and sleek to look at and
do not breed half the time The Euro
pean farmer not only gets the work Of the
mare-indeed, it is often the mainstay of
the farm, and the colt Is an important
source of revenue 10 pay the rent.
We are glad TO SEQ. says The Western
Livestock Journal, some of our breeders
and farmers utilizing the farm mares,
and generally where the farmer has taken
a pride in grading up bis farm mares to
the useful size we find they fully apprcci-
ate their merits as the greatest money
makers on the farm. Farmers generally
will hnd it more profitable to use good
brood mares TO do the farm work, and we
know of many fine teams Of imported
coach mares that are kept for driving
and regularly raise their colts On TINS
subject Hon. Burdett-Coutts, the great
breeder Of English horses, says;
Hitherto there has been some ineXpi-
cable IGpjudice in many quarters against
using mares for harness purposes, Else

many years driven more mares than

Hackney mares for a phmton or brough-
am, or pair Of Yorkshire coach mares

They are as good looking, they step as

The following IS said to be Mr.. James
Rankin's rule for feeding ducks: Our
ing the autumn and winter months feed
twice each day about equal parts Of corn
meal, wheat bran and boiled turnips or
potatoes, with about 10 per cent. of beef
scraps, At noon give a small amount
or dry food, composed Of equal parts Of
cracked corn, oats and wheat. When
the birds commence laying, us they will
about January, Sra1ua,!y increase the
quantity meal and animal food, proper
tIonately decreasing the amount If bran
This is what one might term training for
egg production. The feeding Of meat
scraps keeps the ducks strong and healthy
in good condition to use the heavier
feeding when esgs are wanted. 1t is a
common mistake to half starye the hens
when they are not laying, and then crowd
food into them when they begin"

sismARcKs TRIBUTE.

Bismarck was theoretical free
trader until about 1870. when ne turned
his attention moro TO economic ques-
lions than ever before. because he had
become convinced tha, protection and
not free trade vas the true principle
for nation. 10 arriving at this con-
clusion he had studied the course OF
events N the United States. Here -
what he said in a speech made in the
Reichstag May IA, 1882: "'rhe success
of the United States in material deyel-
opment IS the most illustrious OF mod
ern times, the American Nation not
only having successfully borne and
suppressed the most gigantic aud ex-
pensive war OF all history, but having
immediately afterwsrd disbanded Its
army, found employment for all its
soldiers and marines, paid OF most Of
its debt. gwen labor and homes to all
the unemployed Of Europe as fast rs
they could arrive within its territory.
and still by a system of taxation so in
direct as not To be perceived. much less
felt. The United States found every
year great and growing surplus in its
Treasury, which 1t could expend upon
National defenses or National improve
ments."
This is indeed 4 glowing tribute from
one OF the first statesmen Of Europe TO
the American system of protection,
which IS the policy OF the Republican
party. and to the results arising there
from. But the Democratic party, with
the fatality which appertains to Its
every policy IN relation to anything OF
benefit to this country, IS fighting the
protective system to the bitter end.
