How TO Dress ChicI,ena.

The appearance of fowls after reach
ing market has much to do with the
price they will bring.
Good specimens are very often
spoiled in dressing, while poor speci-
mems may often be made far more at
ractive by proper care.
Fowls should be left without food for
twelve hours before killing, so that
crop may be entirely empty.
Suspend each ono by the feet, and
with sharp-pointed knife cut deep
cash in roof of mouth at base of brain.
Plucking should begin at once, all
the large feathers being removed by
the time fowl is dead.
The pin feathers can then be easily
removed. Do not remove crop or in.
testines. Carefully wash the mouth
and remove all blood clots.. Do not
singe, and by all means do not tear
the skin. Let them hang in q cool
place until the animal heat is out; then

Reducing the scab OF Potatoes.

Scabby potatoes seem to be becom.
ing more and moro prevalent year by
year, and it is evident that farmers
must exercise all the wits they possess
ii they keep clear Of them. While l. do
not dispute the fact, that this malady is
caused by microbes, and may be
checked by the submerging the seed
in solutions which destroy them, 1 find
that if the crop be planted SO the
growth of tubers will come either be-
fore or after the hottest summer
weather, they largely escape the ef-
fects OF scab. BY planting in this lati-
tude central Pennsylvania) as late as
June 25 or July A, the vines remain
green and healthy until frost, and per-
fectly clean tubers invariably result.
1t is hardly practicable to grow all
our potatoes as late as this, but here
is an idea which may be acted upon by
the farmers OF this country to great ad-
vantage. Healthy seed planted on
ground not affected will develop but
little scab in one year. Here is way
to get the healthy seed. Let every
farmer grow as late in the season as
possible enough tubers for his seed
stock the next spring. Carefully save
and plant only such seed and this
HQ1blesome disease will become less
and less prevalent.
To keep seed potatoes in condition
for planting as late as July, it is neces-
sary to spread them thinly on the floor
of some dry, light room. The sprouts
will then be short, thick and stocky,
and not break off If carefully handled
in planting. A little farther south two
crops are grown each season, and the
second is saved for early planting the
next spring. To do this 1t is neces-
sary to dig the tubers, and let them lie
on the ground fully exposed to sun and
air for week or more. This seasons
them and puts them in condition. to
grow at once when planted, which they
would not do without this seasoning
process. believe this idea If carried
out by every Northern farmer would
be worth millions OF dollars to this
couptry. Will you not experiment a
little along this line and see how much
1t may benefit you?-J. F. Tillinghast,
In American Agriculturist.

Disposition of Stock.

When hungry stock are set into q
field they usually make the most of
what falls to them, but if they are
only half-hungry the desire to roam
over the pasture is strong. In herd
or flock the grazing behavior of the
bunch as a whole is influenced a good
deal by the peculiarities of the older
and more masterful members. Should
these leaders be OF discontented
turn, they are apt to infect their
neighbors and to keep the group on the
move. A quiet, easy-going disposi-
tion on the part of the "eiders' has
a soothing and settling effect. But
flocks and herds take strange fits al
times. They are unaccountably rest
less, even on clean and pleasant range
of pasture. They keep moving, foi
no apparent purpose, and refuse tc
settle down. Matters are at the best
when the stock fail to Craze of their
own accord. On q hillside or moor q
flock of sheep or herd Of Highland
cattle seems to be perfectly contented
with the fare at command. One fears
to disturb the group, knowing full
well that once spell of peace is
broken there cannot be rest for
hours on end. In spite of long
domestication, our farm animals OF
the harder varieties are never so
happy as when they discover suitable
feeding grounds for themselves. Once
again they are the creatures of very
ancient custom, and have vague
gimpses of freedom. London Live
