II 1t 10 Properly Done 1t Is Sure to Bring
Fair Prices.
Poultry that is intended to be shipped
should be dry picked, but for the home
market the fowls intended for market
ing should be separated from the flock
twcnty-four hours previous to dressing
and food withheld, so the crop will be
empty. for if the crop is full it must be
removed or it will decompose, and to
remove it disfgures the dressed fowl.
They should be tied in pairs and hung
across a line or pole, and blcd in the
mouth, and in a few moments, if rightly
bled, we can begin the dressing.
A boiler of water Just at the boiling
point should be in readiness and no
more scaldcd at one time than there arc
drcsscrs. Take fowl by the feet and
head and dip three times in the scalding
water, and lay it down upon the board.
If the fowls be young and full of pin
feathers begin on the legs just where
the feathers begin, and press the fingers
firmly downward toward the feet; this
makes clean stroke. taking all the pin
feathers along: the next stroke n little
higher. the same way, until the feathers
be broken, as it is liable to be when you
pluck the feathers and afterwards go
over them to pick out the pin feathers.
One can dress three fowls in this way
while you could dress one the old-fash-
ioncd way.
Next, dip the legs in and remove the
skin, leaving the legs on; then cut OFF
the head and draw the flesh over the
end Of the neck and tie it with string.
This gives the fowls more attractive
appearance than when the head is left
on. Next, draw out the entrails, break
ing them off close to the gizzard. lcav-
ing the rest in the fovs.; then double
the wings under so you can pack them
closely in n basket-and your fowls are
ready to sort and dcliver.-Mrs. l. Gail

In the face of silence of the British press
and the reticence Of officials. it is difficult tn
attribute the reports of British designs upon
Hawaii to anything but general idea that
Great Britain would like very much to own
or control the islands. There is little prob
ability Of her taking any overt step to that
end, unless 1t might be in the nature of some
commercial arrangement. Possibly all tire
talk is shrewdly contrived to influence the
vote upon the proposition to except the island
trade from the provisions of the Mckinley
bill. 1t is hardly necessary to 30 that far to
correct what was evidently AN oversight In
the bill.

An exodus of negroes from Alabama to Ok.
lahoma is the latest excitement. Fifty fami-
lies, it is said. have left Birmingham, Ala,
for King6sher, and more will leave in few
days. A negro, who has been living in
Leavenworth, Kas., is said to have been
working up the exodus. He represents to
them that they can secure rich farming lands
In Oklahoma for almost nothing, and that if
enough of them will go they can secure alb.
selute control of the government ofthe Terri
tory. The latter seems to be the principal
tnducement. A number of negroes who
owned good farms have sold everything and
will join in the exodus.

1t Is Well to Know Them. But to Know
Cure Is Better.
The Iowa State Board of Health gives
the following symptoms of hog cholera:
The presence of the disease is indicated
by cold shivering lasting from few
seconds to several hours, frequently
sneezing. followed by loss of appetite;
rough appearance of the hair, dropping
of the cars, stupidness, attempt to vom-
it, tendency to root the bedding, to lie
down in dark and quiet places, dullness
of the eye, often dim; sometimes swell
ing of the head, eruption of the ears and
other parts of the body, dizziness, la
borious breathing, gaunt appearance at
the flanks and pumping appearance at
each breathing, vitiated appetite for
dung, dirt and salty substances, accu-
mutation of mucus in inner corner of
the eyes, discharge from the nose, fetit
and offensive odor OF discharges from
the bowels, offensive exhalations, diarr-
hnal discharges, are semi-1uid Of gray.
ish green color and often mixed with
blood. In many eases the skin on the
belly, between the hind legs, behind the
ears and even on the nose has numerous
red spots, which, toward the fatal tcrmi-
nation, turn purple. AS the disease pro-
crosses, the animal becomes sluggish,
the head droops with the nose near the
ground, but usually will be found ly-
ing down with the nose hid in the bed
ding. If there has been costivcness,
about two days before death there will
be offensive, fetid discharge; the voice
becomes faint and hoarse; the animal
is stupid; emaciation increases rapidly;
the skin becomes dry, hard and very
unclean; there is cold, clammy sweat,
and death soon follows with convul-
sions, or gradually by exhaustion, with
out struggle. In chronic diseases, or
those of longer duration, the animal be-
comes weak, lies down most of the
time, eats but little and has diar-
rh9a. These cases mny linger for
weeks, scattering the poison Of the dis
ease in the discharges wherever they go.
