Dressing Poultry For Market.

In reply to western correspondent
the Iowa Homestead submitted the fol-
lowing method of dressing and shipping
for market: Keep tho birds without
food for "a hours previous to killing.
Kill by bleeding in the mouth. Hang by
the feet until properly bled. Leave heap
and feet on, and do not remove intes.
tines or crop. Scalded chickens sell best
to home trade and dry picked best to
shippers, so that either manner of dress
ing will do, il properly done For scald-
ed chickens the water should be as near
the boiling point as possible without
boiling. Pick the legs dry before soald-
ing Hold by tho legs and head and i'm.
merse and lift up and down three times.
II the head is immersed, it turns the
color Of the comb and gives the eyes a
sunken appearance, which leads buyers
to think the fowl has been sick.
Tho feathers and pinfeathers should
then be removed Immediately, very
cleanly and without breaking the skin.
Then plump" by dipping ten seconds
in water nearly or quite boiling hot and
then Immediately into cold water. Hang
in cool place until the animal heat is
entirely out. To dry pick chickens prop
erly the work should be done while the
chickens are bleeding. Do not wait and
let the bodies get cold. Dry picking is
much more easily done while the bodies
are warm. Be careful and do not break
and tear the skin. In dressing turkeys
observe the same instructions as are Civ
ell for preparing chickens, but always
dry pick. Dressed turkeys, when dry
picked, always sell best and command
better prices than scalded ones.

There are other reasons besides the
danger of propagating the potato disease
why it is not hest to plant potatoes two
succeeding years on the same land. Ex-
plains American Cultivator: The great
necessity for q large potato crop is an
abundant supply of moisture in the soil.
Nothing so we'll secures this as clover
ley plowed early enough in spring to
get the advantage of late spring rains.
1t is true chat when clover is allowed
to grow in the spring there is great
mass of green herbage to be plowed un-
der in late May or early June But the
moisture thct is in tho clover leaves has
all been taken from, the soil and much
more, for tho clover plant, with its
broad leaves, exhales moisture rapidly,
as any one who has plowed under. a
growth Of clover in June we'll knows.
Even as quickly as 4S hours after very
heavy rain heavy soil will often become
hard to plow.
When clover is plowed so late, the
soil often remains dry all the season if
summer rains arc light. The same clo-
verfield plowed i'll early spring will
keep moist all summer. What clover
there is rots quickly, and this keeps the
soil loose, 80 that every rainfall sinks
into it instead Of running off. The soil
where potatoes grew the year before ei-
ther has better vegetable matter or the
plowing is delayed solate for it to grow
that much of its benefit for that year
must be lost This may prove to be one
of the drawbacks to the advantages ex-
pected from sowing crimson clover to
cover the soil in winter and be plowed
under in spring for potatoes. There will
be some profit, but it will not be as
great as is commonly supposed.

Do YOU doubt that hundreds Of such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
Our word for it. They have, In nearly every
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever In mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy "emulsions and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-

a short time. Extract of malt, whiskey,

Whippoorwlll Cowpea..

From Oklahoma comes report of
the analyses of whippoorwill cowpeas
at five different stages and of prairie
grass, composed almost wholly of blue
stem and joint grass. at three different
outings. With reference to the cowpea,
results indicate that for good hay the
peas, including vines, leaves and pods,
should be harvested as soon as the peas
have matured in the pods. Should the
crop be late it is better to cut before
complete maturity than to delay the
harvesting until heavy frost has killed
the vines and leaves.

Feedlng LOW Priced Grains.

From the Kansas state board of agri-
culture comes an important summary
of the methods of feeding wheat and
low priced grains to animals. The re-
port covers detailed experiences of farm
ers all over the country, and the con-
clusion is that farmers are justified in
feeding their animals wheat when 50
cheap, and that despite some unfayor-
able reports tho practice as a general
thing is wise. III many localities it is
the only profitable disposition Of the
low priced grain this year that can be
made and when wisely and intelligent
ly fed it makes money for the farmer.

Eggs In Winter.

There are several things necessary to
get winter eggs: First of all, pullets, or
young hens; second, green food Of some
kind; third animal food of some kind,
such as beef Scraps, animal meal or out
bone and meat; fourth, exercise is neces-
sary to make them lay. Scatter straw,
cornstalks or swale hay in the scratch.
ing pen and throw your grain in It. This
will induce the flock to exert themselves
and will aid wonderfully in shelling out
the eggs. But the most important of all
is to have warm quarters for the fowls,
sunny, southern slope and warm
houses, properly ventilated, of course.
Fowls are more profitable and healthy
when they have open sheds facing south
or west and where the sunshine can
flood every portion and make the straw
and dust dry for the hens to work in
than where they are shut up in houses
lacking circulation of air and having
only small glass windows. Changing
wind is kept off. Deep wagon sheds and
protected stables invite their retreat
when storms prevail. Barnyard fowls
are not delicate, as rule, unless too
closely confined, as is explained i'll The
Farm Journal. Hens that are out of
doors get variety and exercise such as
their owner could not provide in glass
house. There is an unalterable law that
the more we can get COWS and hens to
eat without getting too fat the greater
will be our receipts.
Here is the whole thing in nutshell:
Warm houses, green food, animal meal
or proper amount of meat, early
hatched pullets, or young hens, and
plenty of exercise. By following these
directions farmers and others will not
want for winter eggs.

csntrollins Fermentation by Supplying
Molsture-The French Method.
The decomposition Of manure is due,
"a q rule, to the Glasses of ferments, the
active ferment on the outside of the
heap, or where the air oiroulates freely,
and the slow ferrnent in the interior Of
the heap, Or where the supply of dir is
limited. The regulation of the two
kinds of fermentation is necessary to
tbe successful rotting of manure. II the
heap is too loosely built, the decomposi.
tion is too rapid. On the other hand, if
the manure is too firmly packed, tho de.
composition may be too slow, and the
manure will not become sufficiently dis
integrated to produce the best effect in
the soil.
A powerful means Of controlling fer.
mentation is the supply of moisture. The

WRENCH METHOD OF KEEPING MANURE
ture, and thus retards fermentation.
French authorities maintain that the
principal precautions necessary to pre-
vent losses of ammonia consist simply
in regularly and properly watering the
manure with the teachings. In case of
drought II the teachings are insufficient,
the lack should be made up with water.
The need Of keeping manure moist is
especially marked in case of horse ma
nure. which is naturally dry and decom-
poses with great rapidity. The same is
true in q less degree of sheep manure
The common and harmful 'fire fang
ing" is the result of an insufficient sup
ply OF water and may be readily checked
by sprinkling. The sprinkling, how.
ever. should be regularly done and the
heap kept in constant state of mois-
ture; otherwise the alternate wetting and
drying will result in loss of ammonia
Preservation of manure in this manner
is generally practiced in Europe, and
the product obtained is highly esteemed
as . fertilizer. It is very dark colored,
Or oven black, and acquires a highly
offensive odor, while the straw in it
loses its consistency and becomes soft
aud incoherent
This black substance is held by cor.
tain French agriculturists to possess
special value as plant food. A method
employed in the preparation Of this we'll
rotted manure in France ia as follows:
The manure is placed on slightly in
clined plats of packed earth or cement,
SO arranged that the teachings drain out
into pit from which they are pumped
up and distributed over the manure
heap. It is usual to provide two manure
plats 80 arranged that when one is full
twhen the manure is eight to ten feet
high 1t may be allowed to ferment un-
disturbed while the other is used. The
manure is carried from the stables to
the top Of the manure heap in wheelbar-
rows over IN inclined plane of boards
Care ts also taken to smooth down the
sides Of the heap to prevent the too free
access Of air and the loss of leachings.
It has been questioned whether the
construction Of expensive cisterns for
collecting the manure teachings repays
the cost, but it is obviously desirable
from what has been said regarding the
value Of the liquid manure and the de.
sirability Of promoting regular and uni
form fermentation Of the manure that
the teachings should be saved and add,
ed to the manure heap by some means.

The plunger pumps Of necessity move
the water slowly, as the water only
travels at the speed of the piston. The

and foreign material cut the pistons and

many different designs. They handle
water much faster than plunger pumps.
but as It IL essential that the working
parts Of these pumps should fit closely
there is necessarily great friction and

necessity these pumps arc short lived.

These pumps are built with no close 1T
