Preparing Poultry for Market.

Killing and Dressing-Food in crop in
jures 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
the 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 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
as small aspossible, and leave the gizzard,
heart, etc., in. Pull out the wing and
tail feathers clean. Undrawn poultry
can be sold to limited extent when there
is no other to be had, provided there is
no food in the crop or entrails, but, as q
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, 1t will
be almost sure to spoil. Sort your poultry
carefully and have the No. stock Of
uniform quality. Pack the No. 2 stock
in separate packages. If you have any
old bull turkeys, put them in separate
package or with the No. stock. Line
the boxes with clean paper, but never use
straw. In packing and never wrap the
BILE, backs upward, 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 shifting about.
Boxes are the best packages, and should
contain from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger
boxes are inconvenient to handle and
more 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 out and
your commission man will have to make
it right, the reputation of your mark is
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
the initials or shipping mark Of the party
shipping. Send full advices and invoice
by first mail after the goods are shipped.

Competitive Pulls at Falls.

We breed draft horses for work, heavy
work, and the horse that can pull the
greatest load and walk the fastest with
it is the horse we want. If in awarding
premiums at fairs competitive tests were
required, and if in the great majority of
these tests the Percherons came off VIC
tors, it would argue that the Percheron
formation was best IN the draft horse.
If the Shires were victorious it would
indicate that that type was preferable.
So with the Clydes or Belgians. But the
method of judging heavy horses at pres
emit is no real indication of the superior
ity of the breeds, nor does it in fact prove
one horse superior to another for all
practical purposes.-Co Breeders Ga

OF the two families indicated, Fig. 1
represents champion prize winning
bull of the Aberdeen-Angus breed. It is
claimed by the advocates of the Aber-
deen-Angus cattle that they make better
beeves for stall fattening than the other
black Scotch cattle, the Galloways, but
that the Galloways are better adapted to
roughing it and picking up food for
themselves than the Aberdeens. At any
rate both are well adapted to cold eli
mates.
The Galloways differ from the Aber-
deems IN having a curly or rough coat.
In the west the cowboys have frequently
tanned and prepared the skin of the Gal
loway in the same manner that the In
dian prepares the buffalo skin, and it is
said that the Galloway robe is scarcely
inferior to the real buffalo robe. The
hair is thick, long and very glossy.

The Galloway comes from the south
west of Scotland. The males have great
prepotency and transmit their qualities
with such certainty that the marks are
easily discernible. Both In British Amer
lea and that part of the United States
adjoining in the northwest the Gallo
ways are favorite, because of their
hardness and easy keeping qualities. It
is safe to say that hornless animals are
always more easily kept and fattened
than others on account of their peace
able disposition. The Galloways are
long and round in the body, with short
legs. The black hair has sometimes
brownish shade.

An Object Lession In Bulls.

Mr.. Walter Shattuck, farmer near
Springfield, O., has had running in his
pasture 3-year-old bull. On Monday
the bull began rushing up and down the
fence line of the pasture believing at the
passers by.
When Mr.. Shattuck, armed with a
strong club, started to drive the animal
back, 1t turned and attacked him. It
knocked him down and stood over him,
treading his body with its hoofs and
trying to gore him.
Mr.. Shattuck's wife and daughter saw
the attack and ran to the rescue. When
the daughter arrived her father had sue
ceeded in grasping with one hand the
ring in the bulls nose and with the other
the animals tongue. He called to his
daughter not to come near, but to run
back to the barn for pitchfork.
The wife now reached the scene, and
pluckily grabbing the animal by the
horns aided her husband to direct the
brutes bunting blows away from his
body and into the ground. Mr.. Shat
tuck, who was still ON his back unable to
rise, was by this time nearly stripped Of
his clothing. Blood streamed from his
face, where horn had gored him. His
chest was mass Of bruises, two ribs
were broken and his limbs were badly
lacerated by the animals trampling.
1t had been at least twenty minutes
since the terrible fight began when the
daughter arrived with pitchfork. She
thrust its tines through the ring in the
bulls nose and into the ground. Then,
with all her strength she held the infuri-
ated animals head to the ground while
the mother dragged the father from be-
meath the brute's hoofs.
But before Mr.. Shattuck had succeeded
in regaining his feet the animal gave a
lurch, the steel ring broke from his nose
and he was once more free.
Then for an instant the three stood ex-
pecting his onslaught. Had it come upon
them In their exhausted condition it
must have resulted in the death or MAIN
ing OF all three of them. But for some
reason the animal hesitated. 1t looked
at them obviously for moment then
turned and walked away.
Mr.. Shattuck was SO badly iniured that
serious doubt is expressed as 70 his s- re
coyery.-New York World.

hornIess Beef Cattle.

We present this week illustrations of
the two famous breeds of polled Scotch
beef cattle. They the two we'll
known families, Aberdeen-Angus and
Galloway. Allen says of both breeds.
"They are of medium size, mostly black
in color, although occasionally red. dim
or black and red brindled, compact in
shape and hornless. They are hardy.
easy keepers, early matured, and of ex.
cellent quality for flesh. They thrive
well on rough soils and in severe eli
mate" These cattle are well adapted to
"rustling" on sparse pasture plains, and
are especially in demand on far western
ranches because they are hornless. They
cannot murder one another on the long
railway trips required to convey them
to market.

Suggestions from a Veterinarian
about Pleurisy in Horses.

This is another of the diseases Of the
respiratory organs frequently met with!
In the horse. The pleura is the structural
that covers the lung and lines the inner
walls of the thorax, the first being called
the pulmonary pleura and the other the
costal pleura. !
Pleurisy is due to exposure and to sud-,
den changes of temperature, especially
II out Of condition, and after clipping or
change of hair in the spring. Professor
Gamgee mentions where out of fold of
BOO sheep thirty died, from pleurisy after
being sheared. 1t is often associated with
pneumonia and with heart troubles, as
well as with rheumatism. At times it
occurs as primary disease, at others as
q complication with inflammation of the
lungs, and again as feature of epizootics.
The symptoms are chill of longer or
shorter duration, sometimes followed by
slight pain and occasional paving, with
frequent pulse and elevation of the tenn
perature; there is sometimes a slight
cough and pain on pressure between the
ribs.
AS the disease advances there is a
huid eHused which collects in the chest,
making breathing difficult and accom-
plished only by labored movement of the
muscles of the flank. 1t is kind of
dropsy and is called hydrothorax. This
can sometimes be relieved by puncturing
the chest and drawing off the fluid be-
fore it becomes organized.
The treatment of pleurisy is something
like that for pneumonia. In cold weather
hot cloths or mustard paste may be ap-
piled to the sides; drinks with the chill
taken off and with little nitrate of
potash added; half dram doses of qui-
nine in faxseed tea; aconite, ten drop
doses four or five times day at inter
walls of three hours. When the pulse in
dicates heart complications, give digi-
tails, and if the bowels are constipated
give from half pint to a pint of raw
lnseed oil, according to size and age.

Dairy?
Feeding dairy cows is profession IN
;tsaif A milk COW is as finicky In her
tssfas ns a millionaire, and her appetite
ynust ha studied and humored. Taken
aItoootbar there is no business on the
fsrTp that requires more care and pains
tal;no effort to be made successful than
dairying. The man who is not willing
10 give his time and attention to it, and
who does not have the careful cooper
alton Of his family had better let it
alone. He can make more money-per-
haps lose less-by turning his attention
to some other department OF the farm
which requires less care.
There is money in raising cattle for
beef only, if the right kind of cattle are
handled. There Is profit in 1t If i'm
proved methods are followed. To
great extent the vexations incident to
the hiring of help are avoided. 1t is lar
easier to get man who understands
handling beef cattle than one who under
stands caring for dairy cattle, mainly
because beef cattle do not require the
coddling and little tickytacky work that
Is so distasteful to the average farm
hand. The herd above referred to shows
what can be done when beef is the sole
object. The cows run in the pasture
through the summer season and in the
winter as long as the pasture lasts. The
calves are usually dropped there and
are looked after for the first few days to
see that they suck and are all right.
When necessary the surplus milk is re-
moved, and the bag kept in healthy
condition. The calves are allowed to re-
main with the cows in the pasture night
and day until weaving time, when they
are placed in pasture of their own, and
fed little grain to keep them growing
right along. The second summer they
run on pasture and get their own feed,
and during the winter have open sheds
to run under, with hay and sometimes a
small amount Of grain as it seems neces-
sary, to keep up steady, uniform
growth. The dry cows run in open sheds
and get nothing but hay and pasture.
The cows sucking young calves are more
carefully housed, and fed some grain
uurluS tuo WluUtI, tHo dIuOuuU depend
ing on their condition and general health.
The idea is to keep everything In a
healthy, thrifty condition.
This method is a perfectly natural
one-no forcing and pampering OBJ
tains. The cattle take care of them
selves the most of the time, When a
little extra feed is necessary it is given,
but usually it is not Unnecessary. The cat
tie are Of the useful kind, with the abil-
ity to turn grass into flesh highly devel-
oped, and IL is needless to say they are
profitable and source Of constant pleas
ure to lover of beautiful and useful
beasts.
Those who have families large enough
to assist in the milking and churning
and who are situated near O good market
win find that dairying is profitable and
satisfactory business. Those who have
no families, or who, for some reason,
cannot depend upon their children for
cheerful aid, had better think twice be-
fore going into business which requires
SO much study and careful thought
