POTASH MINES.
they Are All In Prussia and supply
the Entire World.

The potash which Is dug from the
royal Prussian mines, located at Strass
furt. ninety miles from Berlin, is the
sole source OF the worlds supply. Be
fore the mines were discovered the
best substitute which could. be found
for the product was wood ash, such as
the southern plantations used In th,
old days for making lye soap. The
Irussian mines are twcnty-seven in
number and We're devoted 10 the pro
duction of salt before rock salt was
discovered.
When the new variety of salt was
given 10 the world the prussan mines
were temporarily abandoned, and in n
few years n search for rock salt was
instituted The salt was found. but
in badly adulterated condition, and
an analysis Of the adultcrant revealed
the fact that IL was the most valuable
part of the mineral. The potash was
at once turned 10 use rs commercial

The mines are controlled 10y syndi

From one of the French naval ports

In obedience 10 his orders, was prompt

He said that as he was walking In

of the ranks" he concluded. Immedi

FAT ON A FOWL.
d Is Not So Good n Thing as some
uousekeepers Think


when see men or women looking
For nothing but fat on n fowl" said
marketman. Il don't envy them their
dinner. There is layer OF fat under
meath the skin when poultry is unduly
fattened. and I'm the cooking this over
heated fat saturates the meat. and deli
cate stomachs have n hard tussle This
Is why lots OF people can't eat ducks
and geese at all. These overwhelmed
fowls are I'm reality more expensive
and less easily digested, there being
much less lean meat in proportion 10
the fat. Most Of my customers are now
willing 10 pay what a good turkey Is
worth, understanding the difference.
What is the difference Why. there
are n few rules that must be observed.
For az least six days before killing
harnyard fowls must be coopcd, not
huddled, have a good, clean space
and he well fed on corn for at least
five days. Then for twenty.four hours
before killing they should be fed on
skinned milk or soft boiled rice. The
night before the killing the turkey
must have plenty OF water but no
food, which leaves the crop empty, the
intcstnes clean, the dark meat quite
light, and gives a flavor rs different as
possible from the offensive flavor that
is likely 10 imprcgnatc the common
fowl killed in the common way. The
flesh OF all animals is favored by their
food. This accounts for the delicious
flavor Of the canyasback and rcdhead
ducks. Both eat Of the Wild celery at

roots, the latter the tops."-Philadel.
