FREEZING BUTTER.
Every shipper should Give the Process
Immediate Confederation.

Immediate Confederation.
Tie great problem to be solved by
the producers is to 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 ac.
tual use. In regard to the butter market
q 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 il
made in the summer and fall months,
and II 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 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 IA good flavor and being clean
and sweet.
Various experim ents have been tried
and constant improvements have been
made in refrigeration. We are now far
ahead of what we were even two years
r
frigeration and the ability to produce
a very low temperature at minimum
cost we are now able to freeze butter
and hold it at very low temperature
at 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-
tion. Not II 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 we'll 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 aud Dressing
n Fowl

n 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 u more at
tractive appearance. otherwise there is
no advantage in the method. The skin
should not be broken, or show surface
blcmishes 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 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 vertebr@
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

neck and tied The wings should be
folded across the back, and the carcass
made to have a clean appearance.

casses, by asserting them. The best
prices are paid more for appearance
than for quality, and two or three cents
pound on box of fowls amounts to
large sum, compared with the small
extra labor required to make the birds
reach the market in condition to sat

style at the Capital.
The count of Paris and his suite,
about six people altogether, were worth
S275 a day to Landlord Roessle, of the
Arlington hotel, Washington; President
was called on for the expenses of his
royal party to the tune of $3.50 per diem
while he tarried in regal state in the
Arlington's choicest apartments. An
other high roller who never asked in
advance what the charge would be was
the late President Barrios, of Guate-
mala. He gave the walters at the Ar
lington so gold pieces when he de-
parted, a double eagle to the barber,
and, in fact, every retainer about the
premises got a generous tip. "Who are
your best patrons?" asked Post re-
porter of an establishment that the
epicures of Washington haunt and to
which come statesmen, patrons of the
turf, actors, bankers, men about town,

Food for Heifer Calves.

A noted New York farmer, who has
in past years been in the habit of grain
ing his calves the first winter, daily,
with about a quart of grain each, has
the present year fed rutabaga turnips
instead, and reports the calves not as
fat as others that in the past have had
grain, but more growthy and promise
quite as well for the future. The heifer
calf wants to be kept growing, not
fattened. Any system of feeding that
induces fat forming should be aban-
doned. Heifer calves want thrift, not
the fattening quality of steers. They
want foods that are expanding in their
character, so that the stomach may be
distended, and so become habituated to
hold and digest large quantities OF
food of a cheap character like soiling
crops, silage and like foods, grain be.
ing an incidental In this way the
dairy ration may be cheapened, but if
the fat habit, induced by grain eating,
is cultivated, the chances are that high
feeding in after life viii be toward beef
making, which of all things is the most
Improbable quality in dairy COW.

POULTRY PICKINGS.

A FEW old hens sitting round that lay
no eggs take the cost of their feed and
care from the profits, besides occupying
room needed by others.
IT may be strictly business to sell off
all the best fowls and keep what can
not be sold, but it is hardly treating
your own family right even if it dces
make little more money
FooD that is partly decomposed is
not fit to feed to chickens, and if given
them is liable to produce disease. 1t
will be more economical to throw away
this kind of food than to let the poultry
eat it.
IT is rarely profitable to send turkeys
to market unless they are in good
thrifty condition. Thin, poor turkeys
usually sell at the lowest prices, and
short feeding would increase the
weight as well as secure better
prices. Even with low prices it is
rarely best to send fowls to market in "a
poor condition. The gain in weight by
feeding will nearly always return a
good profit on the cost of the feed.-St.

the first SO as to hold it while both
hands are employed to bind the bud
smoothly and firmly. Wind first up
ward, crossing above the bud, return
and tie below the bud as shown in Fig.
6. The most important point in tying
is to bind the bark firmly and smoothly
over the bud. After the trees have been
budded week or two they should be
examined, and if the growth is such
that the bands cut into the stock so as
to iujure it they should be loosened and
retied or cut on the back side if the bud
is well united.
The next spring after budding the
stock is cut off with sharp knife,
placing the blade on the opposite side
of the bud at the height of the cross
cut and making an upward stroke so
that the knife will come out about one
inch above the bud. When growth be-
gins rub off all buds from the stock so
that all the strength will go into the
inserted bud.-Farm and Home.

FattenInr the rnrI,evs.

The turkey will not fatten if closely
confined in a coop. For few days it
may gain in flesh, but after that length
of time it will lose in weight, no mat
ter how well fed, as it will worry and
fret for liberty. The proper way to
fatten the turkeys is to begin about a
month before the time fixed for
marketing them, and feed them early
in the morning, and also when they
come up at night In the morning give
them all the wheat they viii eat, and at
night give corn. Give them full liberty

illustration. Some use an ivory blade
to lift the bark.
The conditions for success are, 1, the
stock must be in vigorous growing
state SO that the bark will peel easily;
2, the bud must be we'll matured; 8,
the knife must be sharp; 4, the work
must be done rapidly; 5, the buds
must be firmly and evenly bound in
place.
When everything is ready the first
thing is to prepare lot of bud sticks,
shown in Fig. 9 Shoots of medium
size are selected, taking care to get
only those that have but one leaf to a
joint. The lie aves are cut off as shown,
leaving about onefourth of an inch of
the stem. These sticks are the growing
wood of the present year.
Make cross cut about two inches
from tie ground, tia g longitudinal
6nt on til north -iue of the tree, so as
not to be injured by freezing and thaw-
ing. At the same time raise the bark a
little, as shown in FIG. g. A bud stick
is then t.'.e2 and cut is made through
the bark about one-half inch above the
bud, taking only Il very thin portion of
the wood. The length of the cut must
be varied for the different kinds of
trees, say oue-half inch long for
peaches and one inch for pears, cher
ries and apples. The prepared bud is
shown in Fig. 4.
After the bud is cut the lower end is
inserted under he raised bark of the
stock and pressed down. When the
bud is in position, as shown in Fig. 3, 1t
is tied by holding one end of the band
in the left hand, placing it against the
stock, and winding the other end over

The exhibits which form the feature
of the ninth annual exposition are now
in perfect order for the opening next
Wednesday, when Gilmore's band with
100 pieces will give grand concert,
which will be attended not only by
thousands of visitors, but also by the
governors of Missouri and other states,
each accompanied by large suite. AS
Gilmore's New York engagement does
not terminate until Tuesday morning, it
has been necessary to charter a special
train to bring him here in time for the
opening on the evening of September
7. The train will bring the largest as
we'll as the finest band ever heard in
the west, and it is safe to say that the
playing of one hundred skilled musi-
clans under the leadership of the great
est band master of the day will afford
a musical treat such as has never been
attempted heretofore in the west.
The general attractions of the Expo
sition will be more numerous and gen
orally speaking much grander than in
the past. In each of the eight success
full seasons of the st. Louis Exposition,
new features have been introduced,
but the number of novelties this year
is much greater than usual and an
immense increase in attendance is
anticipated. The art display is a very
grand one, and the electrical and
mechanical departments also promise
unwonted attractions. The manage
ment announces that an inclusive fee OF
25 cents will admit to all parts of the
exposition, including the great Gilmore
poncerte
