FREEZING RuTTER.
Every shipper should Give the Process
Immediate Consideration.


Immediate Consideration.
The great problem 70 be solved by
the producers is 70 find some method
BY which the products Of the farm may
be put upon the markets when the con-
sumers are ready TO receive them for &C
tual use. In regard 70 the butter market
writer in the Creamery Journal says:
As IS well known to every one con-
nected with the business the bulk of
the butter product of the country is
made in the summer and fall months,
and if the entire supply was thrown
onto the market at the time of the
production the prices realized would be
very low, lower. indeed. than we have
any idea Of; and in order to protect the
over-plus, cold storage warehouses
have been erected and large quantities
Of butter held in them each year for
the past twenty odd years. Now there
are a great many men who do not hold
their butter and who don't believe in
it, but somebody must hold it, and,
therefore, the fact remains that one of
the most important subjects for cOnsid-
Grafton by the men connected with the
business is the proper holding and car
rying of summer and fall butter. carry
ing it in such a manner that it will
come out of storage later in the season
showing good flavor and being clean
and sweet.
Various experiments have been tried
and constant improvements have been
made in refrigeration. We are now far
ahead of what we were even two years
ago. With the improvements of re-
frigeration and the ability TO produce
a very low temperature at a minimum
cost we are now able to freeze butter
and hold it at a very low temperature
at a cost as low or lower than formerly
paid for ordinary cold storage. After
experiments covering a range of the
past five years it has been thoroughly
demonstrated that this is the only
proper way to hold butter. Butter
made last June, frozen solid and held
until May, came out in elegant condi-
ton. Not a tub oily and all of a very
fine flavor. Ordinary goods hold their
own and deterlorate very little. Freez-
ing has come to stay, and we think
every shipper will do well TO give it his
consideration. Repeated experiments
have shown us that butter frozen will
stand up longer after being taken out
Of the freezer than that held in the cold
storage. A certain amount of ferment-
alton takes place in the cold storage
butter that is prevented by the freezing
process, and when the butter is taken
from the freezer it has better keeping
qualities than butter held in ordinary
cold storage.

MARKETING POULTRY.
The Proper Way of killing and Dressing
a Fowl.

The Proper Way of Killing and Dressing
Fowl.
1t is not difficult to kill and scald a
fowl, but the market demands dry
picked poultry, thousands of pounds of
scalded poultry being also sold how
ever. but at lower prices. The dry
picking gives the carcasses a more at
tractive appearance otherwise there is
no advantage in the method. The skin
should not be broken, or show surface
blemishes in any manner. All fowls
should be fat, but should not be fed for
thirty-siX hours before killing in order
that the crop and intestines may be
empty, Have a slip-noose of strong
cord, suspending the bird by the legs,
with sawdust or pail to receive the
blood Hold the head with the left
hand, open the beak. and with sharp
knife sever the arteries and verte brae
near the base Of the brain. All the
work should be done rapidly, and as
soon as the first convulsive struggle is
over pluck the quill feathers, so as to
do so while the body is warm. Then
carefully pick off all the small feathers,
and especially the pin feathers. Throw
the carcass in ice-water and allow it to
so remain for twelve hours. Nothing is
removed but the feathers.
In some markets the fowls mu st be
drawn, the entrails and the crops being
removed latter first cutting off the
head and the skin drawn over the
neck and tied. The wings should be
folded across the back, and the carcass
made to have clean appearance.
Pack in clean boxes, and have uni
form sizes and appearance of the car
easses, by asserting them. The best
prices are paid more for appearance
than for quality, and twoor three cents
a pound on a box of fowls amounts to
a large sum, compared with the small
extra labor required TO make the birds
reach the market in a condition to sat
isfy the customers and Fireside

SIMPLE LAND MEASURE.
Anyone Handy with Tools Can Make IL

There exist various contrivances for
the linear measure Of land surface.
There are steel tapes, which are ex-
pensive; linen tapes, cheaper, but of
short durability and liable to get
soiled, while both require two per-
sons 70 handle them. Another kind is
offered BY agricultural implement
makers in the form OF a nave, from
which spokes point out, which revolves
by being pushed by handle; but as
these can prick the surface only at
short intervals, say twelve inches,
they cause a troublesome count unless
furnished with an expensive speed in
dicator, and liable TO break if stuck
into a assure.

draw farmers attention to a simple,
effective and durable one, which
