How to Secure the beat Price-Fattening,
Dressing aud Sorting.
Success in securing a large number Of
little turkeys depends upon the winter
and spring management. 1t is, howev-
er, one thing to raise large flock and
another to put it i'll the best shape for
market. Many old and successful grow
ers are not we'll up on this end Of it. If
their methods We're improved and more
care taken in fattening, dressing and
sorting, as well as in packing them as
the trade demands, much better prices
would be received. Beginners who have
succeeded fairly well in raising fiocl,
are often all at sea when it comes to pre-
pairing them for market.
Rhode Island turkeys are famous for
their quality. Some of our readers may
remember the appearance of those tur-
keys exhibited in the dressed poultry
department of the Boston show. In the
best markets in New York city, Provi-
dence, Newport and Boston they lead
those from other sections In the same
markets they often bring 10 or IL cents
more than those from all other states
except Connecticut. About New Years
leading New York paper quoted
Rhode Island turkeys at rs cents ana
everything else in the turkey line at
less than II ceais. Many growers are
interested "a know the reason
1t is not their fame in the past or be-
cause they are scarce that thy sell for
the most; it is on account of their SUI
perior quality. Much of this high quail
ity is due to the plump, compact breed
ing stock used and to the way it is man
aged; also to the caro- taken in growing
and fattening the young turkeys. The
pains taken in dressing and preparing
them for shipment, however, probably
does more than all else to give them
their high standing.
OF course you cannot dress thin,
fiat bodied, long legged bird so it will
sell with the best, but the pluinpest,
best shaped and most attractive bird ia
every way previous to killing may DO
so dressed that It must BIO classed with
that which is interior.
Again, the handsomest young turkeys
that are perfectly dressed II packed

The average height of the breed is 10

so strong partly because he is so game
and partly because his shoulders are set

All over the southern half Of the
great American corn belt the sofa bean
will grow luxuriantly and it is one Of
the best stock feeds ever discovered
The difference between it and corn is
that the sofa contains protein and oil
the corn contains starch and oil. For

two-thirds cornmeal and third sofa
bean meal makes the ideal food for hogs
The sofa bean will grow well in lati.

A, should be about an inch longer than

width of the trough is nailed on the

any filth from getting in the trough.
When hog wallows and rubs against
the trough, the filth will be rubbed off
by the upper edge of the board, b, and

grower alike ought, if possible, to pick
all fruit from the trees, since only I'M
bruised fruit can be depended upon to
keep well. 1t is a fact, however, that
nine farmers out of ten gather their APP
pies by shaking the trees violently, thus
bringing the fruit to the ground in n
shower, Pounding upon each other AS
they fall, it is small wonder that almost
every individual apple becomes bruised.
Many farmers continue this practice,
while realizing its evils, because they
cannot seem to find time to pick the
fruit or find help to do it. As u good
step in advance of the plan of shaking
the fruit to the ground a plan originally
illustrated in The Country Gentleman
is here reproduced:
a large sheet Of cloth is provided,
with an opening in the center, as shown.
This opening has stout draw string
run into it's edge, 60 that it can be drawn
up about the tree trunk and firmly tied.
Rings are sewed to the edges, and the
sheet is supported beneath the tree as
shown. One side is made slightly high
er than the other, so that the fruit will
gently roll toward the basket. This
plan will save an enormous amount of
bruising.
When one can do so, 1t is wise to
have quantity of crates provided, so

New York's famous thorough
fare, Broadway, has been the
scene of some wonderful events.
But the one scene which still
stands as the most remarkable,
in point of enthusiasm, is Louis
Kossuth's famous ride up Broad
way, in 1851. Kossuth had al
ready seen and passed through .
crowd of 100000 people in his
triumphal ride up the great
thoroughfare. The eliminating
moment. however. occurred when
the great Hungarian patriot
reached the corner Of Broadway
and Ann street. The sight that
burst upon him staggered him
for a moment. In the open
square directly before him was
massed together a quarter of q
million Of people, and when this
vast concourse broke into q unit
ed cheer Kossuth was fairly be-
wildered. No man saw this
great event SO well and advant-
ageously as did Parke Goodwin,
the veteran New York editor
and Kossuth;s clsest friend in
America. Mr.. Goodwin was
with Kossuth. and for the nrst
time he will now tell the story of
the marvellous event in the Feb
rnary Ladies Home Journal.
