Turkeys for Market.

We can offer a pointer on market
ing turkeys that we discovered while
buying Christmas turkeys in the city
market, and that is the superiority Of
the medium sized turkeys over twenty
to twenty-four Founders, as sellers.
People, as a rule, do not want enough
turkey at one time to lay a banquet
spread, and consequently they pick
for something small, or not exceeding
medium size.
The hen turkeys always sell first,
simply because they are more suited
in size to the wants of the ordinary
family. When the smaller gobblers
go, and lastly the pride of the flock

1t seems to us that there is a good
deal of room for improvement in
breeding turkeys for the market. That

very full in the breast, would be more
desirable. One that would be meaty
and plump, and capable Of taking on

Toms that weigh twenty-five to forty
pounds may be suited to barbecue

the man with an ordinary sized mar

There would be more demand, and
better sale for turkeys all the year
through, if they were grown more
with view to compact body, meat
and fat, than for large size and coarS;>.

were the best linguists in the creation
outside of the human family, but such
is the case. They not only have eN-
pressions that are understood by each
other perfectly, but almost any one
who lives on farm understands
chicken talk very we'll, though he may
never have thought of lit in that way.
Every one knows that a hen feels
well when she sings and expects her
to produce eggs plentifully at such
times She has separate word for
warning of danger to the one she
uses when she approaches her owner
and turns her head up so as to
focus one eye on him and watches to
see what she is going to get to eat,
and if she does not get it she speaks
about it pretty soon. She can say her
equivalent of couch very plainly if
another hen suddenly pecks her or
tries to pluck a feather out of her.
The master of the flock has his own
peculiar way of calling his mates to
him or warming them to look out for
danger The mother hen talks to her
babies constantly, calling them to her
and warning them to look out or
sounding an alarm of immediate peril
by different sounds that are words
just as much as if they had been
spoken in English.

Preserving Eggs for Higher Prices.

Preserving Eggs for Higher Prices
When eggs are preserved and plac
ed on the market, they will not take
the place of fresh ones, and commits
sion merchants never sell them for
fresh eggs, no matter how we'll they
look. Buyers are naturally suspicious
and the highest price is only paid
when the dealer can guarantee his
stock to be strictly fresh. There are
numerous methods for preserving
eggs and they will keep five or six
months but an expert can easily select
them from those strictly fresh. In
preserving eggs, the first requisite is
to have them strictly fresh. A single
bad one in a package will damage
those around it. The second requisite
is that they be from hens apart from
males. Infertile eggs will keep much
longer than will fertile ones. This
statement is based upon observation
y
The most satisfactory method that
l have tried is the boiling water pro-
cess. The sweetness and natural fla
vor of the eggs are retained. When
broken, the yoke will appear round
and the white have it's usual firmness.
Fill wire basket with fresh eggs. dip
into kettle of water just boiling and
allow to remain ten seconds. The wa
ter must be kept boiling, but not Wig
orously 1t closes the pores. A wire
basket holding two dozen is a con-
venent SIZE One that will answer the
purpose can be made of wire netting.
If an egg should crack, do not pack
it. To prevent loss by cracking, pour
a little warm water over the eggs be-
fore putting them into the boiling wa
ter. For best results, the eggs should
be dipped as fast as gathered. When
cold pack them in salt, bran, oats, etc.
Salt is to be recommended on account
of it's preserving qualities. Buy a good
grade. Adulterated salt will often
harden around the shell and render
unpacling difficult. If this should oc-
cur, however, pour on lukewarm wa
ter. The eggs can then be taken out
of the salt without breaking. Pack
in small cases. The eggs ought to be
turned once week, but twice a
month, kept in a dry, cool place, will

They always keep well, but much of
