DRESSING POULTRY.
How to Secure the Best Prices In the
City Markets.

How to Secure the Best Prices In the
City Markets.
There are two ways of dressing poul-
try for marhet-dry picked and scalded,
says Poultry Yard. Fowls dressed in
the former way in all cases bring the
highest prices. 1t should be the aim
of every farmer, in disposing of his
poultry, to ship it in as good condition
as possible, in order to catch the eye of
the butcher, or grocer, and secure a
ready sale. Greater skill is required to
dry pick poultry than most people i'm
agine, in order that the "bird" may
look plump and handsome. TO do this
work properly, or with any degree of
satisfaction, the fowl should be plucked
when warm-that is, immediately after
it is killed-as, if allowed to get cold
before stripping the feathers, you are
very apt to tear the flesh.
Commence first by plucking the wing
and tail feathers, then the back, from
head to tail. Pluck the feathers from
the ''craw" crossways; stomach and
breast feathers should be plucked
downward-that is, from the legs to
the head.
In dressing poultry by this method,
you get a double advantage of those
dressed by the hot water process, as
you can save all the feathers, being
careful to keep separate the tail and

dressed, the sale of feathers amounts
to quite an item Of profit
Dressing poultry by the scalding
process is by no means good and
profitable one, as it depreciates the
value of the birds, they look anything
but dainty, and, do what you will, they
will never look enticing to the buyer

same defects, and the wool from the
head and shins is short, stiff and
straight.
A further classification is into lambs
wool, Loggett and wether wool. Wool
that has never been cut tapers regu-
larly from base to end and is fine and
silky in texture, the tapering end es-
pecially having these qualities in high
est perfection. The first clip from a
sheep not more than eight months of
age is Of the highest quality, and is
called lambs wool. If permitted to re-
main uncut until the age of twelve or
fourteen is reached, the staple becomes
much longer and somewhat coarser,
but retains the sickness due to the thin
tapering ends. All subsequent clips
are classed as wether wool, and are
coarser and sitter, cutting the fiber
causing it to thicken at the end.-Mer.

Raising Pork In Winter.

Fall pigs can be fattened in winter
by giving them summer conditions
about as well and cheaply as they can
be fattened in summer. Double board
the pen and fill in with sawdust or
straw. Let the earth come up flush
with the stills and then lay the flooring.
Keep a thermometer inside and the
temperature at sixty degrees. Wheat
bran, mill feed, vegetables, cut clover
and corn, the last few weeks, will do
the rest Fresh pork brings most in
spring, and this excess usually is suffi-
cient to lay the extra care. And then
che work occurs when the farmers have
the most time to spare.

A POULTRY writer AYERS that for
keeping up health and producing eggs
nothing equals good sound grain"
1T is a habit more than hunger that
makes fowls run between meals to the
feedbox, or to those who feed them.
Feed only at certain hours us much as
they can eat up clean.
Do NOT neglect to take the ailing
fowl away from the rest of the flock,
even if you do not know that she has a
contagious disease. No chance should
be taken on letting an epidemic get the
start in the flock.

comb is large ana bright red and the
egg bag large and hanging down. She

An interesting investigation OF tho
root habits of certain garden plants
was made Mt the Geneva station by
digging deep trench alongside OF
each specimen to be examined, and
then gradually and guardedly washing
the earth away by spray Of water
through hose.
The following result appeared in the
case of the Eclipse beet, one of the tur'
nip-rooted class, which grows largely
above ground:
The tap-root was traced nearly two
feet. Branches started out from this
at intervals during its entire lengthi
no roots appeared above the tap-root.
The branches were traced distance OF
two feet horizontally from the tap
root. The fibrous roots were very ten
der and delicate, and though not very
numerous, extended over an area Of
about twelve square feet. They often
extended upward from the branches
and in some cases appeared to reach the
surface of the soil

CLOVER SEED MOTH, CATERPILLAR AND
PUPA.


blsssom to blossom in the latter part

they were pairing freely. An exami-
nation of the clover blossoms about
the 25th of June showed that over one
half OF the heads examined were in

caterpillars, less than one-third of an
inch long, VIII oh begin near the base Of
the blossom and eat their way upward
destroying the florets as they CO. From
the rate of growth it appears that
there are at least three broods yearly.
Examinations of hay cut early in June
showed that all the larvae were killed
by the heat and pressure resulting
from storing it. This fact suggests
that the remedy for this insect is to cut
and store the hay and all patches of
clover at this time. (The larvae live
some time in loose lunches of cut
clover. This will effectually prevent
the appearance of later broods and is
also found to be protective against the
depredations of clover seed nudge.
