For n separate Convention.

To the Editor of the Register:
Sir:-Much has been said, and is be-
ing said, about a separate convention
for nominating candidates for Judges
of the Supreme Court of Appeals. /
believe the Bar Association passed a
resolution, and raised a committee for
the purpose of bringing the matter be-
fore the State Executive Committee of
the two parties. The committee APP
pointed by the Association, l am in
formed, has e~ndeavored to bring about
this very laudable arrangement, but
so far has not succeeded in impressing
the two party committees with the
wisdom and Importance of the plan.
The time of holding of the party con-
ventions is now so close at hand, that
nothing is likely to be done, upon the
original plan.
But the question with me is why
should the Democratic party not act
alone, in this matter? Why continue
in the wrong cause. because the Repub-
lican party will not join us in the right
one? Let the Democratic management
decide to hold a separate Judicial con-
yention, whatever course our Repub-
lican friends may take. Let US show
that we desire TO elevate and purify
the judiciary. and remove it as far as
may be from the influence of party
politics. DEMOCRAT.

A Word For Docked Tails.

The Hartford Courant thus presents
the other side Of much discussed
question:: 1T would be interesting to
know how many men, women and chill
dren have been killed because the
horses behind which they were riding
had not 'docked tails Nothing makes
horse behave ugler and more unreal
Sonably than to get his unlocked tail
across rein. Down goes the tail, and
the more the tail presses the more an
noyed is the horse Off he goes, kick
Ing and running, and whoever Is be-
hind or in front of him is in for trou-
BILE. The situation is full of danger.
Dumb animals may not be especially
interested in the fact that human be-
ings are imperiled, but some considera-
ton should be had for the horse"

KILLING AND MARKETING.
Valuable Information For Breeders
of Ducks and Geese.

Valuable Information For Breeders
of Ducks and Geese.
Ducks and geese should be killed by
bleeding In the mouth or opening the
veins of the neck. Hang by the feet
until properly bled. Never pick just
before killing In order to save the
feathers. The feathers should be TAX
ell off after they are killed, before they
get cold-in other words, while they
are bleeding as at that time they
come out very easily, but If they are
picked before they are killed it leaves
the skin so inhamed that the stock will
not bring a good price. After the
en- off, the geese and ducks should be
sealded in water as near the boiling
point as possible without boiling. Pick
the legs dry before scalding, hold the
fowl by the head and legs and i'm
merse, then lift up and down three
times. If the head Is immersed, it
turns the color Of the comb and gives
the eyes shrunken appearance, which
leads buyers to think the fowl has been
sick. The feathers and pin feathers
should be removed Immediately, very
clearly and without breaking the skin.
If the feathers do not come off readily
after the birds are scalded, wrap the
bodies in blankets for the purpose Of
stcaming them, but they must not be
left in this condition long enough to
cook the flesh.
Another good way to remove the
down is to rub the feathers with pow
dcred resin before the bird is scalded,
and then the down comes off with the
resin, which makes very good way
Of dressing ducks and geese, especially
geese. Do not pick the feathers off the
head, and it Is well to leave them ON
the neck close to the head for space
of two or three inches. The feet should
not be skinned nor the bodies singed
for the purpose of removing the down
or hair, as the heat from the flame will
cause them to look oily and bad. After
they are picked clean they should be
held in scaldlng water about ten Sec
onds for the purpose Of Pumping them,
and then rinsed in clean, cold water.
The best time to sell ducks and
geese Is when they are young If they
are raised early. Most Of the live
geese are marketed during September,
October and November. There Is a
good market for live ducks all summer
or, in fact, the year around, but after
the weather has turned cold 1t Is bet
ter to ship both ducks and geese dress.
ed. The larger they are the better
prices they will bring per pound. While
the market sometimes gets overstocked
on ducks, 1t never has and never will
be overstocked on large, fat geese at
any time Of the year, as we have
Jewish trade that Is always looking
for large, fat geese, and as a rule they
are always scarce. We want to i'm
press on the minds of breeders that
they must raise large geese. DO not
forget that 1t costs no more to raise
large geese than small ones, and when
they come to the market they will
bring from two to three times as much
either by the pound or by the dozen.-
