AGE OF DREssED'PoULTRY.

One of the commoneSt ways of test
ing the age of dressed poultry is to
take the end of the breastbone farther
est from the head between thumb and
finger and attempt to bend it to one
side. In the very young bird, say
"broiler" chicken or green goose, 1T
will be easily bent, like the cartilage
in the human ear. In a bird a year
old or so it will be brittle, and in an
old bird tough and hard to bend or
break. Unfortunately tricky dealers
often break the breastbone at the end
before exhibiting the bird, and thus
render the test worthless. If the feet
are left on the carcass they will fur
nish a means for testing the age. In
a young bird they are soft and smooth,
becoming hard and rough as the bird
grows older. The claws are short and
sharp in young bird, becoming longer
and blunter with age and use The
spur above the foot is also to be OBJ
served. When the bird is young, like
a broiler chicken, it is hardly appar-
ent; a few months later it is long,
but straight in a mature bird 1t is
larger still and crooked at the end
1t is more developed in males than in
females or capons.
Turkeys up to a year old are said
to have black feet, which grow pink
up to three years old and then turn
gray and dull.
In ducks and geese f1exibility of the
wind pipe is a mark of youth. When
the bird is young it can be easily
squeezed or moved, but later II grows
rigid and fixed.
Some of the dealers in fancy and
out-of-season goods handle more or less
poultry which is only partly plucked,
the neck, tail and wing feathers being
left, probably to give the bird a bet
ter appearance. However, an I'M
plucked chicken so seldom reaches the
average American market that feather
and comb tests are of little value
More commonly the wings of turkeys,
ducks and geese ara left unplucked and
furnish a clue to the age. If the tips
of the uuills at the end of the wing
are sharply pointed, the bird is pro-
badly young; the blunter they are the
older the bird

NO POULTRY IN FANEUIL.

Some enterprising poultrymen OF
Boston, imbued with the spirit of us
ing the best of everything, the other
day asked the aldermen of that bean
eating town for permission to turn
the historic Faneuil hall into place
for exhibiting fine poultry. The staid
BostOnians were greatly shocked
thereat and an apneal was made to
the mayor. This worthy transmitted
a message 10 the council, Forbid 'ng
the use of the hall for the purpose.
In his message he said he regarded
such use of Faneuil hall as substan-
TALLY a profanity and bound to con-
taminate it's sacred memories. So the
poultry fanciers had to look elsewhere

If your poultry houses are warm and
dry the hens will not have the roup.
Don't crowd your hens into too
small quarters this winter, for that
invites roup.
One advantage with a sandy yard
is that it needs very little cleaning;
the rains will carry the filth into the
soil.
1t would be a nice thing if you
would wash the inside of your poultry
house now. Put some coal oil on the
roosts and clean the windows.
Keep a dust bath within reach of the
fowls constantly. They enjoy wallow-
ing and it helps to keep them health
full and free from vermin.
Every one who raises poultry knows
that chickens must be supplied with
plenty of grit to do their best. The
person who tends them must also
have plenty of grit and do his best.
If you do not wish to go to the ex-
pense of building double walled poul-
try houses, a couple of thicknesses
of No. tared felt closely nailed to the
inside, will go toward making the
house frost proof.

A GRAY CRIMINAL
Kansas EmbezzIer of Six
 Years Ago
John L. Carter, Supposed Wealthy and Respectable Citizen of Linn Co. Kansas, Caught in Phoenix.

John l.. Carter, an old and sanctimo- nious sinner from Kansas, was lodged in the county jail yesterday morning. Sheriff r. s. Preston will proDably start back with him to Mound City, Linn county, Kansas. tonight.
 Carter is a man sixty years of age, and of two families. His first wife is dead. He was a churChman and a man of responsibility in Mound City and when Olden G. Hamm, one of the wealthy men of the community, was dead it was found that John l.. Carter was named as administrator of his es- tate. No bond was mentioned but the probate court subsequently, fixed it as $3.00O. Carter furnished the bond and proceeded upon his duties as admins trator. It was thought in the commun- ity that the bond was superfuous; Car ter was so high in the church: he was the chief insurance agent in the little community of Mound City. He was, moreover, the chief citizen, the man whom half the small capitalists of Mound City would have selected as the guardian of their heirs. Moreover, he was supposed to be a man of wealth.
 But he failed in his reports and after
