Ripening Period of Hogs.

The ripening period should be before
and after the hot season. Avoid if pos
sible excessive cold, for, as a writer
says, too much feed needs to be con-
sumed to maintain the normal tempera-
ture, while during the heated period not
sufficient food will be consumed to na-
terially increase the size of the carcass.
The nearer we can come in securing an
average daily increase, the more sue
cessful our effort. In this earlier fat
tening process, we must not lose sight
of the fact that we realize much sooner
on the capital invested, and a reinvest-
ment may be made at once. The cheap.
est meat is made from the young ami
NAL. much less food being consumed in
supplying the wastes of the system.
The earlier the marketable period is
reached proportionately lessons the
loss by disease.-Western Plowman.

NOTES FOR sEEKEEPERS.

Keep the brood in the center of the
hive if possible and the honey ON the
outside.
All combs that are built by bees
naturally contain too much drone
comb.
Foul brood is very contagious and
will spread with great rapidity over an
apiary.
Never allow a swarm of bees to re-
main long after settling; hive them
as soon as possible.
In the heat of the day, when the air
is full of them on the wing, is the best
time to work with bees. After dark is
the worst time.
In arranging the frames in the hive,
the best and newest combs should be
placed in the brood nest, and not on the
outside, for surplus honey.
Comb honey is easily damaged. The
greatest pests are moths. If they are al
lowed access to comb honey, they will
soon cut the cappings and destroy its
appearance.
Curing honey simply means a proper
evaporation of the water it contains.
This is accomplished in the hive by a
high degree of temperature, and can be
done outside by maintaining the same
conditions
Colonies that lack stores for winter
should be fed the required quantity in
the fall, and September is the best time
to do it. 1t should be done while it il
yet warm enough to allow the bees to
seal the stores over.
Every colony should have 25 or 81
pounds of good sealed stores to bring
them through to the first of May, with
good winter protection besides. 1t is
far better to have a little too much
stores than toe little.
Strong colonies of bees sometimes be
come suddenly depleted in numbers
with not enough left to keep up ths
necessary warmth to hatch the eggs
This is because no young bees have
been Matched, and the old ones, super
animated left the hive in search of food.
and were not able to return.-St. Louis
Republic.

Sure Indications of Disease.

If chickens trail their wings or be-
come droopy,look for l~ice;in nine cases
out of ten they are the cause. If your
little chicks get troubled with lice, dip
your finger in kerosene oil and rub it OIL
the top of their heads. Tobacco leaves
or tobacco in most any form placed in
the bottom of the nest of a sitting hen
keeps the lice away. A remedy for 4
lice-infested hen house is burning sui
phur in it. The house must be tight
and ventilators closed; then put a
pound of sulphur on some live Goals and
close the door tightly and leave it
closed for an hour or more. When
whitewashing the hen house, if lice are
troublesome add a little carbolic acid
to the whitewash.-Farmers Voice.

How to Dress Chickens and Turkeys for
the Chicago Market.

How to Dress Chickens and Turkeys for
the Chicago Market.
Poultry should be kept without food
or water "a hours before killing for
market; full crops injure the appear
ance and are liable to sour, and when
this occurs correspondingly lower
prices must be accepted than obtaina-
BILE for choice stock. Never kill poultry
by wringing the neck. The demands of
various markets vary a little in the
manner of dressing poultry, and in
preparing it for market; the custom Of
the market to which one is to ship
should be followed.
Chickens for Chicago should be
killed by bleeding in the mouth or
opening the veins of the neck; hang
by the feet until properly bled. Leave
head and feet on; do not remove the
iEtestines nor crop. Scalded chickens
sell best to home trade, and dry picked
best to shippers, so hat either name
of dressing will do if properly done.
For scalding chickens the water
should be as near the boiling point as
possible, without boiling; pick the legs
dry before scalding; hold the fowls by
the head and legs and immerse and lift
up and down three times (if the head
Is immersed it turns the color of the
comb and gives the eyes a shrunken ap-
pearance. which leads buyers to think
the fowl has been sick); the feathers
and pin feathers should then be re-
moved Immediately, very clearly and
without breaking the skin; then
plump" by dipping ten seconds in wa
ter nearly or quite boiling hot, then
Immediately into cold water; hang in
a cool place until the animal heat is
entirely out of the body.
To dry pick chickens properly 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 or
tear the skin.
In dressing turkeys for Chicago OBJ
serve the same directions as are given
for preparing chickens, but always dry
Pick. Dry picked turkeys always sell
best and command better prices than
scalded lots, as the appearance is
brighter and more attractive. Endeavor
to market all old and heavy gobblers
before January 1, as after holidays the
demand is for small. fat hen turkeys
only, old toms being sold at n discount
to canners.-Farm, Field and Fireside

CORN TIES.

venient to Use.

venient to Use.
Corn ties are lust what they are
cracked up TO be-" and are very handy
articles for tying corn shocks Or bun
dies whenever one has any need for
such a thing. They are needed when
ever the work cannot be done as we'll
and cheaper with something else.
Sometimes il can be, and then it cannot.
l AVE some ties hat work perfectly,
cost me nothing but a few minutes
labor, and there is no patent on them.
! made the first one out of an old clothes
line and the chain from an old chain
pump that had gone out OF use. l sep
arated the links of the chain by open
ing an end of each link enough SO that
they would come apart easily. Each
link was then a hook ready to attach
to the end of a piece of cord. The clothes
line was cut into suitable lengths. 1
tied a knot in one end of a piece of the
cord. ard then slipped a hook into it.
Then l tied a knot in the other end of
the cord and the tie was done.
In tying the shock, the hook at one
end of the cord catches and holds the
knot at the other end. One can tie more
knots in one end of the cord if neces-
sary, or fasten it with a half hitch if
he likes that better. The cord and the
hook must be proportional to each
other in size, so that there will be no
