DOUBLE EAGLE.

As 1t Appeared on the Arms of Russia
and Austria.
The eagle, as an emblem OF authori-
ty, is so old that ii would be impossible
to clearly trace its origin. 1t Is found
upon the most ancient sculptures that
have yet been discovered. and was no
doubt one Of the very Oldest OF the to-
TENS, or tribe signs. The cary Per-
sian empire appears TO be the first
which adopted II as an imperial EN-
blem. Among the Greeks the eagle
was the emblem of Jove. The Romans
also adopted the eagle as their stand
ard, and 90 II became the token of Ro-
man Dominion. When Constantine be-
came emperor he adopted the double
headed eagle as the insignia of his
authority over east and west. When
the German empire came into being in
the twelfth century this emblem was
revived as being that OF the Holy Ro-
man empire. and Rudolph OF Hapsburg
adopted 1t as his imperial arms. 1t APP
peared In the Russian imperial arms in
the sixteenth century. when Car Ivan
Basilov1tch married Princess Sophia,
niece OF the eleventh Constantine, and
the last OF the Byzantine emperors.

Plucking Geese.

consider the gathering and saving
of their feathers the largest part OF
the profit in raising geese. | like my
geese to hatch out about the last OF
April. At that time pick the ganders
of the flock: the geese having lined
their nests with feathers they are not
in condition TO be plucked. About the
first of June the ganders are full-feath-
cred again and the geese are ready
too. as you will begin to find loose
feathers where they stay over night.
Then in about seven weeks the gos-
lings are ready to be plucked with the
old ones. Don't take the feathers OF
too bare, as the sun is hot at this sea-
son. By the last of September you will
get a fine lot of good feathers again.
II you keep the geese for the hoiidly
market they are again ready In early
November, but If the nights are cold
drive them up and give them shelter
They will soon feather at this time Of
year, and at killing time you will get
the finest crop of the year. Fasten
them up in a stable having plenty OF
clean straw under them for half day
before you begin TO pluck the feathers;
then they will be dry and clean. Take
a narrow strip of muslin. tie their feet
together, lay them on their backs. tuck
their wings under them. let an assist
ant take hold of the head. and as soon
as they are done struggling take ho.d
of the feathers and with a quick jerk
toward the head the feathers come
very easily. Do not disturb the ones
under the wings atong the thigh, as
this tuft holds up the wing, and if
plucked the wings will droop.-Corre-
spondence of Farm Journal.

Danish Egg Methods.

Viggo Schfartz. the Danish expert In
egg packing, was some time ago taken
to Ireland by the Irish Agricultural
Organization Society to teach Erin's
sons how to pack eggs says National
Provisioner. The Danish method OF
sorting and packing the eggs is as fol-
lows: The eggs are brought to the
packing houses, and there they are
graded to six sizes-namely, from
thirteen pounds to eighteen pounds
per long hundred. II may be explained
that eggs weighing two ounces each
would scale at fifteen pounds per 100.
and this Is about the medium size.
The men who are engaged in the work
OF packing have six boxes before them
representing the different sizes. They
use no board, as In France, and are
simply guided by the eye. Each egg
IL judged as to which size Il is nearest.
and put into the box corresponding to
the size. The system is simple. and so

when 120 eggs are taken out of the
bon IN test and put upon the scale
they are rarely more than one ounce

Scraggy necks should, II surrounding
