New Ice-Making Machine.

A new ~ice-making machine con-
structed entirely of metal, consisting
of two parts, very simple and COM
pact, has been introduced in France.
One part, Theoretically closed, contains
the mechanism, and the other is the
ice producer. The smallest size, which
is a foot by a foot and a half, is run
by hand, or one-eighth horse power
motor, and makes IA pounds Of ice
an hour. One forty by sixty inches,
with four horse power, makes 300
pounds an hour. The principal fea-
ture of the machine is that the ice is
produced without the aid of any in
gradients or preparations of any kind.
Whatever requisite is needed for its
operation is supplied at the time of its
manufacture. Once the machine is de-
livered it produces ice as long as the
metal work used in its construction
holds out, and this is of such a char
acter as to last many years.

the hand, and a quick turn upward
with a steady pull at the same time is
given.
This method is cleaner than bleeding.
Exporters are reported as favoring it.
They claim that the flesh will not be
so dry and will keep longer than is the
case when the fowl is bled.
Immediate p~lucking is recommend
ed, for not only is plucking more la
borious after the bird has become cool,
but the skin is much nor likely to be-
come torn. About two inches of feath-
ers is left about the head, the rest of
the bird being plucked clean. During
this operation the head of the fowl
should be kept downward to allow the
blood to collect in the neck.
The dressed chicken is placed on a
shaping board" A weight is placed
on the top of the chicken to compress
it and give a compact appearance. The
detail in the accompanying cut shows
a weight of iron, but a brick
the purpose. 1t is best not to hang
chickens by the legs after plucking,
because this gives them a thin, leggy
and unattractive look. At least twelve
hours should be allowed to pass to let
the animal heat get thoroughly out Of

Care of Mule Colts.

The feeders here buy mule colts to
be delivered at weaving time, usually
the first of October. Up to this time
the mules food consisted of bluegrass
with a few weeds for seasoning and
the milk allowance. Now, after the
mother is taken away, the restless
youngster must be fed. Feed must be
provided for him in the enclosure, for
a well fenced lot or a stall is essential
to restrain the desperate donkey for
a week or ten days. This feed, at
first, should be green corn IN the stalk.
reasonably firm ears, some sheaf oats
and a littl clover hay. After having
capitulated, they may be turned Oh
good pasture, bluegrass, clover or rye.
One man let his colts run in a corn
field around which was a wide margin
of uncultivated land with thick set of
luxurtant bluegrass. They grazed we'll
and seldom bothered the corn. If any
was pulled down it was through curl
osity as much as anything else. l con-
slider good fall and winter pasture es-
sential to profitable mule colt growing.
1t is policy, too, to let them come to
the shelter every night and eat a small
ration of ground feed or shelled corn
and oats. Do not turn them out in bad
weather, particularly a cold rain. This
grain ration, with some fodder and
hay under shelter, will be better until
the weather opens. Such a period sell
dom lasts over q day, so that most of
their time is spent afield. But after
bad weather sets in in earnest. they
are penned and fed a larger grain ra-
ton and the feeds named above, es-
p~ecially clover Or mixed hay is good for
them. Be kind to the young donkeys.
They respond very readily to kind
treatment. No other kind should be
given. Give the hired man and small
BOY to understand that positively there
must be no teasing, for such is calcu-
iated to make a vicious animal. Hal
Ter the gentle colt, curry it, and lead
t around. Soon the shyer ones will
seek the same treatment. Almost be-
fore you know it, they will be half
broken or more. l like to begin the
colt education early, for then they can
be properly and j%udiciously taught and
the foundation laid for reliable and
agreeable MOTIVE powers.-E. w.

een-year-old boy who was arrested on

death of his motheI, whose body was
found at her home at Jacobs Greek,
in a partly decomposed condition, was

Man Who Killed Price in New York
City Shot by R. E. Preusser.
Albany, N. Y.-Richard E. T. Preus-
ser, of the bucketshop firm of Preusser
& Co., shot Miles Mcdonnell dead at 1
o'clock a. m. in his room in the Hotel
Ten Eyck. They had been together all
day drinking. Mcdonnell was from
Boston. Originally he was from New
York City, where a few years ago he
shot George Price, a fellow gambler, to
death.
Preusser was taken to the Second
precinct station house and was locked
up. He refused to discuss the matter
afterward.
The shooting of Mcdonnell occurred
in his Don after he and Preusser had
a quarrel in the grill room of the hotel.
After the quarrel Preusser went to his
brokers' Office and procured the pistol
with which the crime was committed.
He then went back to the Hotel Ten
Eyck, and with the pistol in his hand
asked for the number of McDonnell's
room. Shortly afterward the clerk
heard a pistol shot and it was found
that Preusser had gone to McDonnell's
room.
