McKINLEY'S LIFE WORK

today during the exercises In memory of
the late President Mckinley.
For the third time the Congress of the
United States are assembled to commence
rate the life and the death of a President
slain by the hand of an assassin. The at

with startling sameness in all three of
these awful crimes: the useleSsneSS. the
utter lack of consequence of lie act; the
obsc1yrity, the inSignifcance of the criminal; /;
the blameessneSs-so far in our sphere
of existence the best of men may be held
blameless-of the victim. Not one of our
murdered Presidents had an enemy in the
world: they were all of such pre-eminent
purity Of life that no pretext could be given
for the attack of passional crime; they

GRAIN WEEVILS.
The Bisu1phide of Carbon Treatment.
Frequent Sitting and flaming.

The Bisu1phide of Carbon Treatment.
Frequent Sitting and Tanning.
The common species of grain Insects
seem to be more than usually abundant
this fall, as shown by numerous let
tiers of inquiry received at the Kansas
experiment station. The two forms
most in evidence are the common grain
moth and the black weevil, the latter
generally more abundant. In either
case the most ready method of their de-
struction is the employment of carbon
bisulphide, one pound at least of the
LIQUID to a hundred bushels of grain or
a thousand feet of space.
1t seems likely from the varying de-
grees of success reported with this
formula that certain essential condl-
tons are not always strictly observed.
In ordinary cribs and bins the most I'M
portant provision is to make the room
as nearly as possible gas tight in order
that the gas may remain in all parts OF
the space in full strength and for the
required time. Except with highly or
ganized insects, death does not occur
Immediately, and partial suffocation
may only render the insect inSensible,
leaving it TO recover fully upon the air
ing out OF the bin; or the gradual es-
cape of the gas through cracks in the
floor or sides of the bin, allowing the
entrance of fresh air, may cause fail
ure through the subsequent revival of
the insect. The adult grain moth readi-
" succumbs to the gas, while the larva
will stand more and yet revive. The
black Weevil is most difficult to kill
Hence to destroy all it will be necessa-
~ to continue the action of the gas in
full strength for at least twenty-four
hours and to do this the bin must be
made tight, the fluid carbon bisulphide
be used in liberal quantities, and in
case of doubt the experiment repeated.
Wheat may be largely kept free from
,weevil by proper handling, frequent
SSifting and tanning, such constituting
thu chief reliance in the elevators.
Corn in cribs can scarcely be freed
from weevil while remaining there ow-
ing to the practical impOssibility of
making the crib sufficiently tight. Tar
paulins and stack covers are useful in
assisting to retain the gas within linn
it's, but are by no means tight enough
to prevent the escape of the gas by
diffusion before the black weevil can
be destroyed.
1t is suggested by a correspondent
that gasoline is equally effective with
carbon bisulphide, and owing to its
cheapness it can be used in certainly
destructive quantities at little expense.
1t may be necessary tn warn those who
employ either of these liquids that the
gas is highly inflamm1ble and explo-
sive when ignited; hence no ire or
light should be allowed about the bin

skin. When such is the case, they
should be shaved off. Seven or eight
minutes is all the time necessary to
dress a 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 a rounded and full ap-
pearance.
The ducks are then packed in bar
rels or boxes and shipped to market.
The first or bottom layer is packed
with backs down, a layer Of ice is then
placed over them, and all other layers
are packed with the breasts down, a
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.

killing and Dressing-Dry Picking
and Scalding.
From the approach Of Thanksgiving
on till after the winter holidays the
dressing of poultry takes on much I'M
portance. There are two methods or
dressing ducks for market, by dry
picking and by scalding, ana these
have been described by an autl GRITTY 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 1t
only becomes a 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
a 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

and double edged for bleeding. The
bird is taken between the knees, the
bill held open with the left hand and a

| Just below the eyes. The bird is then
stunned by striking its head against a
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

VEGETABLE GROWING.

Rhubarb. Chicory, TarragOn and
Other Herbs For Winter.
For a 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 a 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. l or Jan. l
unless q 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
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 1t sure
