try vans, an average of between thirty
and forty tons of dead poultry are
dispatched weekly, go the everywhere
present fowls can supply but small
part of the raw materials needed by
the fatters for manufacture. The de-
ficit is supplied in two ways. Large
numbers of Irish chickens are impor-
ted-especially from November to
May. They come over many hundreds
of dozens at time, and at short in
tervals, mostly from tie western parts
of the Emerald Isle. The higglers
supply the rest. These men drive
through the country round, and far
into Kent and Surrey-thirty-6ve or
forty miles in a day---picking up a
few birds at this farm, few at that
cottage, and bring them to the fatten-
ing farms. Fattening is the staple
industry of the place, and the exact
process Of the manufacture is to be
seen nowhere else.
Tradition says that q man once
came to Heathfeld who had been en-
gagged in the Norfolk turkey breeding
business, and experimental with
chickens, SO founding the trade. Be
this as it may, chicken fattening has
gone on in the district for some fifty
years, growing into the prosperous
industry it now is. And it is little
likely that it could be carried on in
the same way in many other places.

A 0White BuZzard."

The "white buzzard" has been cap
tured. The "beautiful snow" beats
traps. For a series of years the
"white buzzard" has been as familiar
in western Stewart County as the
water gourd, and perhaps the express
sion: "Yonder the white huzzard, "
has been pronounced a thousand times
more or less in that latitude. The
bird being heavily laden with snow

phere that seems to suit the chicken
race admirably, so that they hatch
out with impunity and run strongly
at all seasons.
Nearer to town it would be impossi-
BILE to let the birds run free as they do
here--certsin light-fngered gentry OF
pedestrian habits would be too numer-
ous-and in most other part Of South
ern England foxes are too plentiful.
Then, again, the markets are handy :;
it is not far cry to London, and the
big Sussex watering-places are all
within easy reach. And, as with all
developing industries, as the business
has grown among the people, SO the
people have grown into the business,
acquiring the skill and rapidity that
can only come of long usage and
which helps SO greatly to make the
trade profitable. The people are
brought up to the management and
handling of chickens from childhood,
for every cottager rears few birds.
and the majority of the laboring
population are in some way connected
with the trade as killers, stubbers, or
the like. The birds, once taken IN
hand by the fatter, are shut up in
coops, six birds to the pen, and are
crammed twice daily for about three
weeks.
The fatting coops are ranged in
alleys or. perhaps, in small businesses
round gardens-some under cover,
some not-on posts three feet from
the ground. The small man has his
ten dozen or so of fowls undergoing
process, some of the largest several
thousand dozen. Only the larger
ones deal in ducks, geese and turkeys,
the others con6ning themselves en-
tirely to chickens.

its throat and, with his foot, pumps
the crop full, disengages the tube, and
puts the bird back in the pen. The
rapidity with which this is done by
good workman is astonishing, the.
knack of handling the birds wonder
full.
In spring, chickens are taken in
hand at about thirteen weeks old,
later in the year bit older, and are
crammed for about three weeks with q
mixture of ground oats, fat and milk.

one of these gems disappeared mys-
teriously from its setting during the
transfer of the body from the railroad
station to the fortress of st. Peter and
Paul, and in spite of a most searching
investigation no trace of the gem has
been discovered.
The small crown diadem of the
Czarina contains the finest diamonds
ever set, and it took many years to
collect these exquisitely n natched
gems.
The crown of Queen Victoria is val
ued at nearly two million dollars,
and contains one large ruby, QUE large
sapphire, sixteen smaller sapphires,
eight emeralds, four smaller rubies,
1860 white and 1878 rose.colored dia-
monds, four large pear-shaped pearls
and 269 other pearls.
The robes and jewelry worn by the
Sultan of Lahore at state functions
are adorned with diamonds worth ten
million dollars. His collar, epau-
lettes, belt, bracelets. anklets, buckles
and headgear are sparkling with the
shining pebbles.
The most precious Of all crown jew
ery is owned by poten:ate inferior III
rank to the last-named, the Maharaiah
of Baroda. He possesses a necklace
of five rows of diamonds, increasing
in size from a pea to walnut. There
are 500 diamonds in this necklace,
whose brilliancy is further increased
by two rows of emeralds above and
below the diamonds and of the same
size. This necklace is thought to be
worth over 81, 100000 while the other
jewelry owned by this Croesus is esti-
mated at more than 500, 900, 900.

weeks fatting they put on flesh at q
great rate, and it is this rapidly man.
ufactured flesh that gives its delicacy
to the "Surrey" fowl. One of the
peculiarities of the trade is that
though the birds come principally
from Kent and Ireland, and are of
Sussex manufacture, they are known
as. Surrey chicken" When they are
fatted enough for the market they are
intended for-what is called 'shalf
fat" for some of the watering-places,
or "full fat" for London, then comes
the process of killing, plucking, etc.
This was formerly done by "chicken
butchers" men who went from farm
to farm for that only-but now it is
generally done by the farmer himself
| or his men.
A shed is set apart for the purpose,
and so many men and girls. according
to the amount to be killed, assemble.
A crate of live fowls is brought in. The
men take each bird and kill it. Pick
ing then commences. With the bird
on the knees the feathers are allowed
to fall in large basket, to be after
wards packed and sent to some of the
large furnishing firms of London-all
except the flights and stiff plumes,
which are thrown apart. In ten min
utes the bird is handed to girl who,
with blunt knife, takes out the i'm.
mature ''stubs" of feathers that are
missed in the picking. The "stub-
bing" takes another ten minutes OF SO
and tho bird is handed to the
dresser" who, with sundry pushes
against post, and little skillful i,ats,
gets it into marketable shape, dusts it
with -four and puts it in the ':press"
V-shaped trough with board on the
top laden with stones. There now re-
mains but the packing-one or more
dozen to crate-and they are ready
for the carrier.
The carrier is one of the powers of
the neighborhnod. All day and every
day his carts are passing along the
roads, now with full crates to the sta
tion, back again with returned
empties; now piled up with Irish i'm
ports, then with consiguments of
ground oats, new coops, examining
machines, and the various necessal les
of the trade. He collects and sends to
London the dead poultry at so much
a bird, paying carriage at so much a
ton, and making a profit on the trans.
action. AS much rs eighty tons of
dead poultry have been sent to market
in week from Heathfeld, which,
reckoning between four and five
pounds to bird, means some 500 to
the ton, or 40, 900 birds.
Such trade naturally calls other
trades to its aid. Millers become pur-
veyors of ground outs, carpenters turn
coop and pen makers butchers deal IN
fat by the bushel, and large quantl-
ties Of milk are supplied by the sur
rounding farmers.

But except the respectable matrons
who brood and guard the young
families, and here and there in the
yard a strutting rooster with a few
wives in his train, the fowls are all
under full maturity. At all times of
the year, from the little puff-balls that
have just broken shell to the hobby
dehoy state of chicken youth, they
are visible in their thousands. Past

ing yards-the fatting farms.

of valuable gems cover the crown. At
