| bright red, hlgniy favored ana &cy
flesh and black seeds into something
resembling a cross between cheese
pumkpin and an egg plant. You grow
melon something like an exaggel-
rated cucumber and when you come
to town and look at the big fellows
! shipped in you marvel that such con-
ditions exist and say there must be
something wrong with the soil There
isn't thing wrong with the soil, but
most of you want your heads fixed.
| You can raise the finest celery here
grown on earth, and do raise it, but
some way or another you do not take
the pains bleaching it as they do in
Michigan and other states, and the re-
suit Is that most of the ordinary celery
sold on this market is half green and
tough as leather However this state
ment doesn't go to every one; there
are some growers who know how and
do bring in the best celery on the
market.
| You look at the apples Idaho sends
down here for sale and wish your own
trees did as well, and then gaze at
your orchards which are chiefly tim
Der, and haven't seen pruning knife
since the trees were set out. You
never spray trees as you ought to and
the coddling moth and the aphis and
the other pests destroy your fruit, and
you wish it wasn't so. AS matter of
cold fact you ought to be exporting
thousands of bushels of apples instead
of importing them, but you haven't
tumbled to that yet. Some day you
may, but it will be about the time
your subpoena comes to attend the
High Court above and then it will be
too late for yoti to do anything.
| The agricultural college at Logan
sends out bulletins on experiments
made and successes achieved, but you
don't read them, although most of
them would save ten years of labor on
your part. You are all too busy
| You keep dunghill chickens, when
Silver Laced Wyandottes, Plymouth
Rocks, Cochins and Leghorns do not
eat an ounce more than the scrubs
and bring better prices. When you
kill them you bring them to market
looking Shiny when they should not
Let me tell you how to dress a
chicken for market Don't say do not
know, because | was taught how to
butcher chickens before most of you
were through school. Don't feed the
fowl before killing it, because there is
no necessity for cutting the front of a
fowl open in order to remove the
craw unless you have fed it. Provide
yourselves with proper tools, consist
ing of long knife with narrow, thin
and sharp blade and a short one ditto.
Kill the fowl and when it has been
picked, and scalding is as good as dry
picking for this market, make an in
cision behind the breast bone. Cut
round the vent with your narrow
knife and then remove the entrails
through the opening behind the breast
bone You will find a dry cloth, cut
in small bits, handy for reaching in
side and taking the craw out the same
way. Cut off the legs at the joint,
push them through the incision into
the orifice left by the removal of the
vent, break the wings into position
over the back, tie the loose skin on the
neck and then immense the fowl in
boiling water for exactly thirty sec
onds. You will be surprised at the re-
suit 1t means plumpness, cleanli-
ness and you can sell lot of old roos-
ters treated in this way, while your
neighbor on the other side wonders
why people don't buy spring chickens.
