Rhubarb. ChicOry, Tarragon and
other Herbs For Winter.
For continuous supply of rhubarb
for forcing it is preferable to lift just
enough for a first batch, covering other
roots required in their growing quar-
tiers with heavy coating of straw ma
nure or, in fact, anything that will re-
sist a large amount of frost, so that
it can easily be dug Dec. I or Jan.
unless a good, cool. moist cellar is
available for storage. Under those cir
cumstances it is better to leave it in
the ground as long as possible and on
approach of severe weather dig up
what is wanted and place in the cellar
to be brought out as wanted. If it is
preferred to grow in tubs. large roots
can be split with safety. Tubs and
boxes can be dispensed with in forcing,
If room in warm cellar is available,
by placing the roots on the floor and
packing between with soil.
Rhubarb is very accommodating and
can be forced by any one having a
warm cellar 1t may take little longer
to come with some, where surplus of
heat is not available. but come it sure
" will if given any chance at all. and
is much more delicate in favor. and to
many. if not all. more palatable than
the outdoor grown.
Such things as tarragon. mint and
chives, If not lifted. should be protect
ed with covering. so that they can be
got at any time before Jan. 1, or per-
haps the better plan is to i;ft and plant
in deep fats. placing them in cold
frame so that fat at time may be
brought in ana placed in heat as re-
quired for forcing American Garden

should be shaved off Seven or eight
minutes is all the time necessary to
dress bird.
After the birds are picked they
should be carefully washed and plump
ed by placing in tank or barrel Of ice
water. They are hardened in this ice
water and given rounded and full ap-
pearaDce.
The ducks are then packed in bar
rels or boxes and shipped to market.
The first or bottom layer is packed
with backs down, layer of ice is then
placed ever them. and all other layers
are packed with the breasts down, q
layer of ice being between each layer
of ducks. The top of the box or bar
rel is then rounded off with ice and
covered with burlaps. A flour barrel
will hold about three dozen birds.
Some raisers use boxes for shipping
and have the empties returned free.

FOR EARLY SWEET PEAS.
Fall Preparation and Just How II
Should BE Made.

Fail Preparation and Just How IL
Should BE Made.
For the first sowing of sweet peas
the ground should be prepared any
time before the ground freezes too
hard to work thoroughly, advises a
Rural New Yorker writer. Select a
warm, sunny spot sheltered from the
north and west winds, arranging II
possible to run the rows east and west.
Spade the ground deeply, working in a
liberal supply of well rotted manure,
and top dress with air slaked lime and
wood ashes, one quart of the former to
four quarts of the latter for twelve or
fifteen feet of double row. This should
be thoroughly worked into the soil,
and the bed should then be covered
with coarse manure or any kind of
mulch to prevent freezing too deeply.
Remove the mulch early in the
spring, and as soon as the surface is
sufficiently dry to work nicely rake
the soil until well fined and sow the
seed. Sow in shallow drills five or six
inches apart and cover not to exceed
an inch in depth. Sow as soon as the
ground will admit of working, even If
the frost is not out below, as there
will be little if any danger of injury
from freezing. In this way the
blooms may be had long before they
can be obtained from the seed sown
for later blooming. Sowing for late
and continuous blooming requires far
different treatment.

cow giving ten pounds of milk daily
does not need the same quantity and
quality of feed as COW giving twenty
or thirty pounds daily, says D. II. Otis
in Kansas Farmer. The following ra-

per head where different amounts of

Big Blanket Mortgage on the Estelle Colony
to be Foreclosed,

Big Blanket Mortgage on the Estelle Colony
to be Foreclosed.
Lawyer Albert E. Howell, of Camden,
counsel for the Estelle estate, is preparing
bill in Chancery looking to the foreclosure
of a blanket mortgage given by D. L.
Risley, a real estate speculator, which will
disposses, nearly 1900 owners of land in
South Jersey.
The Estelle estate holds a mortgage
amounting to SAG, 900 ON 900 acres of land
including the three small towns of Midway,
Dorothy and Risley, in Atlantic county, and
lying along the old West Jersey Railroad
line The town of Risley bears the name
of the man who promoted the gigantic land
enterprise and whose exact whereabouts al
the present time are unknown, although a
letter was received recently from him dated
Butte, Montana, and postmarked Pitts
burg, Pa.
A GIGANTIC SCHEME.
The Estelle colony, as it was called in
the promoters circulars, was purchased OF
May 10, 1894, by Daniel L. Risley. He
Immediately opened an Office at No. 211
South Tenth Street, Philadelphia, with
branches in New York, Pittsburg and Lon.
don and sent throughout the country allur
ing circulars setting forth the natural
advantages of the town.
He divided the tract into five acre plots
which could be purchased from $40 to $40
an acre.
Risley agreed to pay the Estelle estate 81
per acre for each acre sold. In his circular
he failed of course to say that there was q
blanket mortgage on the land and but few
1roI,o do
DISAPPOINTED INVESTORS.
A number of persons were induced tc
invest their savings in this barren waste,
and about two or three hundred persons
moved to this supposed paradise only to
find that they had purchased acres of sand
covered with scrub oak and surrounded by
mosquito marshes.
Risley paid off the mortgages on a few
holdings only. A number of purchasers
who discovered that they had not good
title, threatened Risley with arrest. and tc
keep them quiet he paid off all the mort
cages covering farms of nearly 200 holders
LAND OF LITTLE VALUE.
The other purchasers now who did moi
make an investigation find that they have
40 title to their land, and all they can dc
to save their homes is to pay off the mort
cages which should have been paid by
Risley.
The holders say that the land is not worth
this extra expenditure, that it cannot be
sold or even given away for no one wants
it badly enough to pay the taxes.
In connection with the land enterprise
Risley organized the Risley Colonies Build
ing and Loan Association, and was elected
president. These shares were sold at fifty
cents and he subscribed for 100 shares, but
according to the treasurer, never paid in 9

DICKS FOR MARKET.
Killing and Dressing-Dry PiclxilE
and ScnIdinE.

Killing and Dressing-Dry Picking
and Scalding.
From the approach of Thanksgiving
OH till after the winter holidays the
dressing of poultry takes on much i'm
portance. There are two methods Of
dressing ducks for market, by dry
picking and by scalding, and these
have been described by an authority on
the subject as follows: Both of these
methods are good and are being sue
cessfully employed by the largest rails
ers. Some have a preference for dry
picking and others for scalding, and it
only becomes q matter of taste which
method is used. When birds are dress
ed by scalding, they should be dipped
several times or until the feathers
come out easily. The back should be
dipped in the water first. After scald-
ing wipe them as dry as possible with
sponge and pick the breast feathers
first. A bird when dressed for market
has left on it the feathers on the wing.
the tail feathers and the feathers on
head and neck. The legs are left on,
and the birds are not drawn.
The process of dry picking is consid-
cred the simpler of the two methods,
and one who is accustomed to the
work can readily dress three dozen
birds in day. The picker's outfit con-
Sists of chair, box for the feathers
and couple of knives, one knife being
dull and the other being sharp pointed
and double edged for bleeding. The
bird is taken between the knees, the
bill held open with the left hand and
cut made across the roof of the mouth
just below the eyes. The bird is then
stunned by striking its head against
post or some hard substance. The
picker seats himself in the chair, with
the bird in his lap. it's head held firmly
between one knee and the box. The
feathers are carefully sorted while
picking, the pins are thrown away, and
the body feathers, with the down, are
thrown into the box. Care should be
taken about this, as the feathers from
each bird will weigh about two ounces
and will quite pay for the picking.
The dull knife and the thumb are
used to remove the long pinfeathers,
and this should be done without tear
ing the skin. The down can usually
be rubbed off by slightly moistening
the hand and holding the skin tight.
Often some of the pins cannot be taken
out without tearing and disfguring the

The decorative asparagus in winter
should not be kept too warm. Sixty
degrees f. is enough, and it should be
regularly supplied with water, the
plant having good drainage. Every

How to Make Steak Tender.

The French cook has a method of
transforming the toughest of steaks in
to one that is tender and juicy. The
meat is allowed to stand over night in
a mixture of vinegar and salad oil, the
two used in equal parts. For a three
pound steak half teacupful of the
mixture should be put in a dish large
enough to allow the meat to be spread
out. Prepare the mixture early in the
evening and turn the steak the last
thing before leaving it for the night.
OF course neither salt nor pepper should
be added until the steak is cooked, since
the salt always serves to draw out the
Juices,
