Packing string Beans to Keep.

The New England way of packing
string beans for winters use is as fol-
lows AS fast as beans are ready to
pick. string and cut in pieces as IL for
immediate use. Into an earthen jar
or crock place layer of these beans
and sprinkle with salt. half cupful
for each layer. As soon as the jar is
filed, with salt for the top layer, close
air.tight. When ready to use In the
winter take as many from the jar as
are needed, soak in cold water over
night to freshen. then cook like fresh
beans. Those who have eaten beans
put up in this way say they taste al
most as good as those freshly gath.
cred
In drying the beans they are al
lowed to ripen on the vines, then
picked and the vines pulled up and
laid out somewhere to dry. When
the pods are all dried and opened,

SIGNS or AGE" IN POULTRY.
Certain Marks Reveal Everything to
Experienced Housewife.

In choosing poultry the age of the
bird is the most important point fol
consideration. When selecting a tur
key remember that young bird has
smooth, shiny black legs, whereas
those Of an old one are rough and
reddish II the bird Is freshly killed
the eyes are full and bright and the
feet moist
The combs and legs OF chickens are
smooth in the young fowl, but tough in
an old one
When choosing geese see that the
bills and feet are yellow and have few
hairs on them. Old birds have de.
cided red tinge ON both. The feet
should be pliable when freshly killed,
but become dry and stiff If they have
been killed some time. Geese are
called green until they are two or
three months old.
Ducks are chosen by their feet,
which should be supple, Wild ducks
have reddish feet. while those of the
tame ducksa yellow A fresh duck
should have plump hard breast.
Tame pigeons are larger than the
wild pigeons and the feet, like those
OF poultry. show the age OF the bird.
When the are supple the bird is
young; when stiff It is ola,
Pigeons should always be eaten
while they are fresh; when they look
fabby, and discolored about the under
part they have been kept too long
