American Chickens In England.

To the many American commodities
with which England is supplied there
is now to be added the United States
chicken, in which already an enormous
import trade Is being done. AS yet the
industry is, comparatively speaking, in
it's early youth, but so great has been
the demand that one firm alone is al
ready sending 10000 dozen birds year
ly to this country, and the trade is in
creasiEg.
A Daily Mail representative who
made inquiries in the Central and
LeadenhaH markets was informed that
the American chickens were doing well
in England mainly because the birds
were of good quality and, Furthermore,
for the reason that they were packed in
a handy way for the buyer. 1t was
also pointed out that the many advan-
tages offered by the American railways
for the conveyance Of live birds from
the breeding places to Chicago resulted
in the poultry arriving at the slaughter
place in prime condition. When fro
zen, they are packed in cases Of one
dozen each and sent right on to Lon
don.
The view is very general among i'm
porters that the American chicken will
not compete to any extent with the
English product, but with the Russian
fowl, which is already finding dan
gerous rival in the United States bird.
In proof of this there is the assurance
Of one firm that yearly imports i'm
mense quantities Of Russian poultry to
England that next year great improve
ments in feeding, selection and packing
are to be made In the Russian trade.
Meanwhile the consumer will wonder
why no one has ever seen q chicken
labeled either Russian" or ''Ameri-
can," and the inference must be that
both are sold for whatever the custom
er may like to think them.-London
Mail.

DO THIS For THE Roy

If your son would like to so, there is
probably no better thing you could do
for him the coming winter than to give
him layoft from teamwork and send
him to Que OF the many excellent agri-
cultural schools of the country. Never
mind If he is a bit raw and green and
backward with his studies; course or
two at such a school will open the
boys eyes. create new ambitions for
him and make him worth twice as
much to you next summer on the farm.
AS an Investment for yourself, let
alone being one for the boy. 1t will pay
big interest. While the farm is the best
place on earth to raise q strong,
healthy, honest boy up to fourteen
years Of age, he then should have a
chance to see something Of the old
world and get his own measure.

CHOOSING A DAIRY cow.
Points which Indicate Good Milk
Producing Qualities.


The best dairy COWS must possess
quality, and the skin and fine bone
show these features in a fairly &C
curate manner. Long, coarse hair and
thick, stiff hide are most undesirable.
One should be able to grasp the skin in
the hand along the front Of the body
near the shoulders and pull 1t easily
from the body and almost wrap the
hand in it, if Of the mellow sort desir-
cd. If it hangs tight to the body, 1t
may show lack of condition or will in
dictate poor quality, says G. S. Plumb
in Rural New Yorker. This applies to
the skin over the udder as well as to
the rest of the body. People some
times ask for indications as to quality
of milk Most dairy students desire a
yellow pigment to the skin, which is
most readily seen by examining the in
terror of the ears or is perhaps seen in
the lower part of the horns. This is
not always correct indication, for |
have seen a Holstein with good color
producing very low grade of milk.
As one stands behind well devel-
oped dairy COW the hind legs should
come to the ground in good position,

Lay round of beef in a broad, deep
pot. Pour in cupfui of boiling water,
add two slices of onion, cover closely
and cook gently ten minutes to the
pound. Transfer to a dripping pan,
rub with butter. Gredge with flour and
brown in quick oven. Strain and
cool the gravy left in the pot. take off
the fat, put the gravy into saucepan,
season with pepper, salt and a little
kitchen bouquet and thicken with a
heaping tablespoonful of brown roux.
Boil up once and serve in a gravy boat
or pour around the base of the beef.

Pansies Planted In The Fall.

Apropos of fall planting of pansies,
which is now becoming popular, a cor
respondent of Gardening says the pan
sy is very hardy and will stand almost
any amount of cold. but plants are Of
ten killed i'll winter by alternate freez-
ing and thawing and by water stand
ing and freezing around the stems. To
prevent injury the beds should be To-
Gated so that water will easily run Off
To prevent alternate freezing and
thawing cover the plants very lightly
with coarse swale hay, only just enough
to cover them from sight. for too much
or too close covering is worse than
none at all. If we could depend upon
snow covering the ground from the LIST
of December to April. there would be
no need of protecting the plants with
anything else, for there is no better
winter covering

Teach the young that soundness Of
body and mind is the main thing in
life, that without this boon nothing
really counts. Give the sound body
plenty of exercise, but don't oyerwork
it either in point of enjoyment or in
point of business.
If at one time or another you have
oyerworked your body, don't worry
about it, but guard against repetition.
Repetition leads to bad habits.
Be independent. Don't do things be-

How to Doll Chicken.

Dress, SINCE and truss the chicken
and -four it well and put a couple of
slices Of salt pork with an onion cut
in halves and a couple Of sprigs of
parsley inside the chicken or fowl.
Put 1t in kettle Of cold water, enough
to just cover up to its depth; add two
bay leaves and lemon. Set the kettle
over slow fire. Cover it tightly and
let the water come to a boil, then re-
move the scum carefully as it rises.
After skimming it, add a teaspoonful
Of salt to the water. Cover the kettle
again and let the chicken simmer
slowly till quite tender. then serve on
a hot platter with an egg cream sauce.

Economy of sheltering the Cow.


No doubt it pays to shelter good
dairy cow any winter that she is CIV
ing milk, but the high price Of feed
during the coming winter will drive
the shelter problem home with much
greater force than usual, says D. II.
Otis in Kansas Farmer. A milk COW
that is worthy of the name is concen-
trating her efforts in producing large
yield at the pail. If she must divert
her attention from this noble purpose
and spend her energies in keeping UP
the animal heat of the body, surely she
could not be expected to do her best
at tie milk pail. To make the dairy
cow profitable this coming winter 10
effort should be spared to keep her at
the maximum production with an
economical expenditure Of feed. To
do this good but not necessarily ex-
pensive shelter should be provided.
The dry cows and young stock, on
the other hand, do not need great
deal of shelter. A shed open to the
south, situated il possible in wood
lot, will answer the purpose very
well. Quarters Of this kind will help
to develop strong, hardy constitutions,
q quality that is just as desirable in
dairy as in beef animals.
