KILLING POULTRY.
bleeding to Death Does Not DIsngaRe
the Fowls ana Makes the rt8.
Flesh Nice and White. Qt|

It is admitted that poultry when
bled to death is winter in flesh than
when prepared in any other ms nper.
Then the question is bow to cause
them to bleed to death and not dis
figure them in any way. This can be
easily done BY opening the beak of the
fowl, then with sharp-pointed knife
make an incision at the back of the
roof. which will divide the vertebra
and cause immediate death. after which
hang up the fowl by the legs until the
Bleeding ceases. Next rinse the beak
out with vinegar and water. Fowls
killed in this way keep longer and do
not. present the unsightly external
marks as those killed by the ordinary
system of breaking the neck. When
the entrails are drawn Immediately
after death, and the fowl dressed, stuff
it to keep its shape; it win keep fresh
much longer. 1t is q mistaken idea to
cram poultry just before killing to
make them appear heavy. as the undi-
gested food soon begins to ferment.
and putrefaction sets in, as is noticed
by the quantity Of greenish-looking
fowls that are displayed in our mar
kets.-Farm and Fireside.

The New Lingerie.

The special point in the new lingerie
is the fit. The set of gown depends
largely upon the accurate shape of the
lingerie over which it is worn, especial-
ly now in this much beplaited era Of
fashion. Skirts, both long and short.
are cut to fit the hips quite smoothly,
and, although fancifulness is indnlged
in sometimes to an almost exaggerated
degree, the flare and the fun are all
confined to the lower part of the sAirt.

DooRpLATHs OF THE PAST.


"People who get about town much
must have noticed one change that has
taken place in the past few years, said
,he man with the red mustache. re-
,ates the New York Sun, "and that -
the abolition Of doorplates for all ex-
cept business purposes. There was
time, and not so very long ago, either.
when everybody that aspired to any
kind Of social prominence decorated his
front door with plate on which ms

raging in its most virulent form, and
I know for fact that we turned out
any number of plates that mounted up

Zone OF the most expensive plates we
ever made was for man who lived over
ON East Twenty-second street. This
man was q Russian who had embraced
American customs, and he had name
about seven feet long. Ican't remem-
ber now what it was, but do know
that it used up about all the plate we
had in the shop to fit him out, and that
when we were finally through with him
his front door resembled nothing 50
much as the billboard of . vaudeville

another block over in that part of the
city. There were 40 houses in that
block. Each was ornamented with a
doorplate, and on 81 Of those houses
the name was Green went over to
that neighborhood the other day ont
OF curiosity. There are no doorplates
there now, and had no means of ascer-
tanning whether the Green colony still
sticks to its old haunts.
"In one way these doorplates were
. mighty fine thing. They gave a
stranger within our gates invaluable
assistance in sizing up the nomencia-
ture Of the city, but they savored too
much Of self-advertising to suit the
quiet tastes of the more conservative

sions are Of wire netting, allowing the
sunshine that enters at one side of the
house to fall into all the pens; but the
house should be so located that three
sides may receive morning, noon and
afternoon sun. The same plan is fo.-
lowed for dividing the yard outside as
for dividing the space inside the house.
This gives a large amount of yard
space, with the yards conveniently 10
sated. This building is shingled all
over the outside, with the heaviest
building paper under the shingles. and

plastered inside. - Orange Judd

Every woman can, if she will, culti-
vate the self-control that subdues the
manifestation Of feeling in frowns or
excessive laughter. Poise of manner
may be made merely the outward ex-
preston Of poise of mind, and the many
little worries of life can be relegated
to their proper place as trifies- True
reposefulness is not the absence OF
strength, but its assured possession.
Mothers should be observant of any
tendency in their growing children to
undue facial distortion in speaking and
gently remind them Of 1t until the habit
is cured. 1t is difficult for the adult
to dismiss habit once formed, but il
would be wise for every young woman
and man to establish close surveil-
lance over their manner of using the
muscles of the face in speaking. Many
Of them would be surprised to find that
every sentence is a fresh grimace.-

Maise Poultry Experiments.

Bulletin "a of the Maine agricultural
experiment station contains an ac-
count of experiments in fattening
chickens for market and the egg
record of the breeding pens for 1899.
The results OF the fattening expert
ments show larger total and individ-
ual gains and cheaper flesh produc-
ton in the case Of chickens with par
tial liberty. The custom commonly
practiced by English and French
chicken fatteners of Gconfining the
birds in small coops was found more
troublesome and less profitable than
maintaining them in small flocks
with restricted runs. The age at which
fattening begins is very. important.
Chickens 20 weeks old gained 1N
pounds in three weeks, while chickens
Is weeks old gained less than one
pound in the same length Of time.
It required eight pounds Of grain
mixture to produce pound Of gain
in live weight with the older birds
and less than six pounds in the case
Of the younger birds. fs

The fall term of the public hoo be-
gins today under the most favorable
auspices. The attendance is very large,
the teachers full of enthusiasm in their
profession, the management practical
and experienced, and the trustees deter
mined that the business and financial
work shall receive conscientious personal
attention. At no time in the history of
the public schools of this county have
they been in better condition than at
present. The splendid work so we'll
begun by the previous board of trustees
has been carried out and amplified by
the present board, and the parents of
the school children and the taxpayers
alike may rest assured that the best pos
sible results in the cause of education
are being achieved. The trustees, like
their immediate predecessors, are largely
made up of business and professional
men identified with the material and
progressive elements of the community,
and it is certain that there will be nc
hating in the work of a thorough
reformation of the management of schoo
interests.
