body rolled out upon the track where
it was run over. The other two rob
berS jumped from the baggage car and
made for the brush.

In dressing poultry care should DO
taken TO meet the requirements Of the
special market 10 which tho birds asJ
consigned for sale. In somo sections
dry picked birds bring the best prices,
whilo In others the preference Is To-.
scalded or steam picked. Some markets
call for drawn birds; others require
that the ontrails remain intact. llcro
are two plans presented Ia Tho Amer
lean Poultry Yard. Tho second plan Is
tho one used by poulterors who bid for
highest prices in the New York mar.
keta where the dry picked birds are pre-
ferred, though both kinds are accepted.
For that market the fowls aro not
drawn, and the legs and heads are left on.
Scald or steam the fowls quickly aud
as soon MS possible after killing them.
Then remove tho feathers rs briskly rs
may DO, taking them of backward and
downward in tho same direction that
the plumagc grows. Tho carcassos
should not DO too severely scalded lest
this render the skin tender. but jet OF
steam thrown upon half dozen mt u
time in a good sized tub, or the INNER
sion Of tho bodies IN boiling hot water
Tor an instant only, win answer the pur-
pose.
This Is one way. But whom there
plenty OF time and you are not obligeu
TO hurry matters, IL each fowl Is plucked
dry directly after slaughtoring und while
the dead body is still warm, it will bo
found the preferable plan. II Is an inn
portant itom in dressing poultry FOR
market TO 500 TO II that the fowls TO bo
slaughtered arc not in the midst of their
natural mott. Their bodies at suoh
time are covered with pin feathers
that greatly disfigure thom aud which
are difficult TO remove. Fowls should
always be prepared for eating or mar
koting before they begin to shed their
feathers annually or after tho new

euToAeRINe ON The FARM.


Cheap and Useful ConvonIenoes--weish
of Hogs for Family Consumption.
On many farms few hogs nro kili,l
ard dressed for family consumption each
winter. Where this is an annual occur.
renee the necessary convenionces ought
90 be provided before hand, and after
use stored away for tho next season.
Here is what appears IN tho agricultural
department Of the Now York World CON
corning the mntter:
When only few hogs IRE butchered
these appliances may be few and inor-
rensivo. A tight cask, somewhat larger
than barrel, In which the hogs may be
Hcaldod rs soon as killed; kettles for
heating the water and q little scnifold Of
rough boards on which the hog may lie
when drawn out Of the scalding water
are the principal things.
When thoroughly cleaned from the
bristles and hair the carcass must be
suspended in a convenient way for dis
emboweling and thus finishing tre
entire process. Tho carcass should hang
not only long enough for draining
thoroughly. but until II Is entirely
cooled through, before it Is taken down
and cut up for curing and packing. In
suitable weather this condition will he
reached the next day after the alaugh-
toring.
In very cold weather care must be
taken that tho carcass does not freeze
on the outside before tho animal heat Is
all expelled from within. Ia general 1t
Is better that tho dressed hogs should
not freeze at all, but be kept as cold rs
possible without freezing.
For profit and for making meat Of tho
most desirable quality, pigs should be
brought TO n marketable size and weight
MS early Ms possible. When from 200 to
$50 pounds for the dressed pig IS reached
he win DO, II properly faitenod, iu the
best condition for family use. Corn Is
tho usual fattoning food for hogs. but 1t
Is becoming understood that diet
which will glyo better distribution Of
fat and lean makes more desirable meat.
This means that other substances besides
corn should be used for the growth Of
tho young animal. Clover during is
season IS excellent; pumpkins arc good
aud choaply raised; slsimmill, IS one Of
the best, and during the summer WI
rioty OF foods are available for forcing
tho growth Of pigs, leaving corn to
round up with at tho close. Again.
hogs cannot DO probably faticnod In
cold weather. and keeping them late In
TO tho winter for n gain In weight a. not
