Room for Dressing Poultry.

When one has ii good deal of poultry
to dress yearly it will be found of adj
vantage to have room for that pur-
pose. A lean-to to the henhouse will
naturally be most convenient. If this is
furnished with a skylight all the bet
ter. 1t should be light and large enough
to give sufficient room for a stove to
warm the room. as we'll as to keep the
water hot for scalding or other pur-
poses. The floor should be smooth and
tight. A scantling should be put
across the room at convenient height,
with few spikes driven in on which to
hang the birds while dressing; anoth-
er scantling or two along the sides to
hang up the dressed poultry to let cool
and to wash heads and mouths.

STRAWBERRY TESTS.
The Varieties Most Suitable for PROF
liable General Cultivation.

uehGTuA CULTIVATION.
At the recent meeting of the Ontario
Experimental union, held at the Agri-
cultural college, Guelph, Ont. (Canada),
Prof. H. L. HUT, the experimenting
Lorticulturist of the institution, gave
report on the results of the recent
experiments with strawberries grown
on the college grounds. He has OBJ
served an extra growth of plants as
q result of the careful removal of the
blossoms the first season. This only
confirms our old experience, that in or
der to secure the heaviest crop the sec
ond year (Which is the main and usual
~ the only fruiting year, as straw ber-
ries are handled by good growers), we
have to adopt the practice of preventing
all fruit setting the same season that
the bed is established. Then in order
to have full crop, we must have full
matted rows. With varieties that are
s,ood plant-makers, like Wilson, Cres-
cent, Haverland, Bubach, Warfield, etc.,
we have no difficulty IN securing the full
stand of plants, in an average fair sea-
son, even ii in starting the bed we put
distance which Prof. HUT recommends
for planting such sorts, while IS inches
is as much as poor plant-makers should
be spread apart in the row at the start
Next. for heavy yield, we want the
heavy yielders. Among them, Warfield
was found to be at the head. Alton is
much like it. Warfield has good leaf
nd ri Nd ;e
one of the best for home cultivation.
Pubach was the 18th, and Crescent the
Goth, in the order of best yielders
tlaverland was found at the head in
general health and power to resist rust.
Among the perfect Towering sorts
(those named all being pistillates).
Saunders was found first in productive
ness and vigor. Prof. HUT prefers to
grow the imperfect and perfect bloom
ers in alternate rows, in order to insure
full fruit setting and therefore best
yield. The question is what varieties
to plant together. Haverland was the
first to show bloom. Van Deman, a
perfect-flowering sort, is also an early
bloomer, and might be used to furnish
pollen for the other. Lovett's Early
and Candy bloom soon after these, and,
in a pinch, might be used for the same
purpose. Haverland and Warfield are
among the earliest to give ripe fruit.
Rio stands second in the list, although
it stands Add in the order of yield.
Michcrs Early stands third for early,
and gives large yield for an early
sort, but the fruit is small and soft.
Wartield stands fourth for earliness,
and is the great berry for the west, and
for heavy land and plenty of moisture
but seems not so good for light, dry
soils. Among the latest varieties, Prof
HUT mentioned Edgar Queen, Equinox
and Mrs. Cleveland. - I. Greiner, IN

KANGAROO HUNTING.
Riding to Hounds After the Nimble
Druten I'm AuntrnIia

Brutes In Australia.
There are two ways of hunting kan
garoos in Australia, one followed by ma
tive hunters and the other by white
men. The natives surround herd of
the animals, narrow the circle and then,
when the kangaloos dash at them in
wild efforts to escape, kill them with
short spears and clubs, commonly called
waddies. 1t is lively work for the ma
tive. The kangaroo uses his hind leg
viciously and with great Judgment, and
dogs, horses and men have been torn
open by the nails of his hind feet.
The white mer prefer to follow the
kangaroos with dogs. Every herd of
kangaroos has leader, known as the
old man or boomer, which warns his
followers of the approach of danger
by stamping the ground with his hind
foot, making booming sound that
starts all the kangaroos in hearing on
run. A scared herd will run 20 or 30
miles at times, or until it reaches safe
ty. A male weighs from 100 to IT'S
pounds and is seven or eight feet long.
The English make up parties of hunters
and follow the kangaroo with dogs
somewhat like foxhounds, but Of great
er size and strength. Women and men
join in the sport, riding to the hounds
on good horses.
Riding to the place where a herd
of the beasts have been seen the day
before by bushmen," Sportsman Mag
azine writer says, 1--WE came to the bush,
q growth of ubiquitous trees and tree
ferns, fit to brush one off his horse.
Quiet was the word of caution passed
when we came near the sparsely grown
ground beyond the bush where the
kangaroos had been seen. The dogs
were called in, and then we rode from
the bush into view of the herds senti-
mel, and then away went the kangaroos,
followed by the dogs, and we were at
the tail tips of the dogs. The kanga-
roos could not run, but folding their
forelegs across their breasts, they sat
down. Then, with tail and hind legs,
away they went by hops, no hop being
less than 20 feet long, and others being
more than 80 feet. They cleared shrubs
IL feet high.
Cautiously enough, the kangaroo trav-
els faster up hill than down, tho dogs
catching up on the down slopes. The
beast sometimes breaks it's neck while
running down hill by going head over
heels. The does began to throw their
young out of their pouches, and we knew
they were hard pressed. They turned
suddenly for the water. We found the
dogs at a water hole with two BOOM
ers at bay. We dismounted, and draw
ing our knives, waited an opportunity
to run in and hamstring them. A dog
rushed in and was caught by the hind
leg of q boomer and pressed under
water, where it was quickly drowned.
Then dog got one of the beasts by the
back and threw it, whereupon my cousin
quickly hamstrung it, while raped it's
nose with my whip, killing it. We had
kangaroo tail soup and steaks for din
ner for sey eral days.-H. Y. Sun.

Wise ADVERTISER.
A Little Jokelet Now and Then II
Relished by the Best of Men.


eff there is anything I don't like"
observed the drummer, cit is puns or
the man who produces them on sight or
keeps them on tap. The only place
that a pun can be used at all, in my
Judgment, is in an advertisement, for
there a man pays for it, and he can
print anything he wants. Besides, q
pun in all advertisement seems to catch
the eye that kind of wanders around
waiting for something to fix it.
Il guess that is what / was doing
about ten days ago in New England
town of about 1000 people, where you
might expect people to make prayers,
but never puns. l was merely there to
catch a train on a crossroad, and while
waiting 1 wandered along the main
street of the town. At last came 20
a store where the proprietor had out in
front a Lotto frickety-lookingf urs, wraps,
robes, gloves and that kind of winter
wearing apparel, with sleighbells on
the side. On the lot he had card that
showed up like q circus bill, which bore
the inscription: killing Costumes
ut was none of my business, Of
course, but I stopped to examine the
stuff, and the proprietor, cheerful
sort Of soul, came out to see me.
"'What you got that on there for|
said I, pointing to the card.
"'Cause that's what ought to 90
there said he, smiling.
''But it oughtn't,' said I.
"'Why oughtn't it?'
"'Simply because 'killing," in the
sense you use it there means something
brilliant and striking, and those things
are as plain as the nose on your face
"'Just the same, they are for sleigh
ing purposes grinned the merchant,
with his thumb up to that same plain
nose, and the far-off forests of Psnjab
echoed the notes of his triumph as
hurried back to the train that was to
carry me away from the scene OF my
discontinue. "-Washington Star.

4 Place for the Calves,

The best place for the calves is a box
stall in the barn. Have the stanchions
plhced in one side Of the stall and put
each calf in the same place every time
before feeding and they will soon learn
then a small quantity of oats. In this
way they will not suck each other.
When they have eaten the oats let them
out and scatter hay in front of them.
Always keep the stall well Uttered and
feed warm milk, and the calves will
keep clean and look sleek.
