Picking Poultry for Market.

When dry picking turkeys or other
poultry for. market be careful to re-
move the pin feathers. The carcasses
are "plumped" by throwing them into
ice-cold water, allowing them to re-
main in the water four or five hours or
longer; then hanging them up, heads
down, to drip and dry, keeping them in
cool place. Do not scald dry-picked
birds. While the dry-picking method
gives the birds the best appearance
for market for home use the best and
easiest mode is to quickly scaM them;
then remove the feathers, and also the
entrails. If pumped" it should be
done before drawing the entrails. The
scalding process cleans the skin, and
also saves labor.-Troy IN. W Times.

EXERCISE FOR LAYERS.
They Need 1t and Respond Gratefully
II Opportunity Ia Given Them
to Get 1t Daily.

All authorities seem to agree on
the proposition that hens to do we'll
should have daily exercise, SO as to
get their blood in circulation. Some
people wanted to feed warm
breakfast early, and then make the
hens scratch for their dinner among
litter strewn over the floor or in
shed. Others land now agree
with them) think that it is good
plan to set the hens to scratching
early in the morning. Wheat, oats,
buckwheat, etc., may be scattered
over the litter on the henhouse floor
or in the scratching-shed for that
purpose. At night we used to feed
whole corn, SO as to give to the
fowls a full crop for fuel to keep
them warm during the night. A few
weeks ago correspondent of the
Rural New Yorker told that instead
of Smelling corn he simply runs the
ears through an ordinary feed-cut-
ter, and then let's his hens pick the
grain off the pieces. I have adopted
this plan, and now give to my hens
a quantity of such chopped-up ears
early in the morning, to busy them
selves with for an hour or two to
get warm on. find this most ex-
cellent plan. 1t takes only frac-
ton of the time required to shell
corn when we cut it up in the regu-
lar feed-cutter, and the hens seem to
take to their task very readily and
to have very little trouble in Smelling
every kernel off these short pieces
Farm and Fireside.
Right Locations for Poultry.
Do not have too many fowls. Some
enterprising amateur gets an acre of
ground, puts on it large number of
fowls, and when the chickens come
on in summer all goes we'll FOR a time;
but about the second or third year a
change comes, disease breaks out and
many die, so the venture fails; yet a
tenth part of the birds might have paid
well. Overlooking is bad, and is all the
worse when there is not plenty of ex-
ercise. Hens neither lay nor sit we'll
when they are overfed. Another cause
of loss is keeping the birds on damp,
cold ground. Dampness is liable to,
and does, cause many of the COM
plants from which the birds suffer.
Gravelly ground answers best, but
other ground with more moisture in
it may be made healthy by proper
draining.-Farm and Fireside.

OF Texas received It's initial Impulse from

Soon after this there was n night be-

OF prisoners, men. women and children,

Accordingly, Monsieur Comanch, as the

society and to this end the friends OF the
courtly minister with modest laughter N
their sleeves, most cordially extended tc
him the privileges OF their homes. Ac

Comaneh, sailed forth to make a call upor

IN the social realm. The brother OF th'
ladies' was aware of the intended visit be

embarrassment he led the unconscionahle

Mother love was strongly implanted In
