Packing Poultry.

Every bird should be thoroughly
cooled before packing for shipment.
1t takes longer to entirely remove
the animal heat than the uninitiated
would believe, but If it is not done
thoroughly the stock is very likely
to spoil in the package. Much loss
is caused by negligence at this point.
Never let the dressed stock freeze.
unless 1T is to be retained for some
time and sold as frozen stuff. Thaw-
ing Injuries the quality and decay
soon follows. Birds shipped without
ice should be entirely dry before
packing.
Careful grading of stock designed
for the open market is very import
ant. A few scrawny or badly torn
birds will often spoil the appearance
of shipment which would otherwise
be excellent, and iower price must
be accepted. Keep the inferior stock
Each grade will sell to better advan-
tage If kept separate from the rest.
Inspect each bird carefully before
packing. Wash the feet, remove the
clotted blood from the mouth, and
wash the head. Sew up any bad tears
in the skin. using fine white thread
for this purpose. A curved needle is
more convenient for this work than
straight one.
Birds which have dark or dingy
appearance can often be greatly
frightened by washing in strong
suds made OF some good soap or
washing powder. Water fowl in par
ticular can be muca improved by
special cleaning. An ordinary hand
brush is convenient to use for this
purpose.
Packages for dressed poultry vary
greatly, but should meet two require
ments. They must be neat and clean
and small enough to permit easy
handling. For delivery 70 retail Gus
toners pasteooard boxes OF sufficient
size to hold single bird, or one pair,
are desirable. The birds should be
wrapped in clean paper, preferably
waved paper, before being placed in
the box. Retail egg customers, whose
supplies are shipped by express, may
be served with dressed poultry by
using sn egg case built like the
standard case, one end being used
for eggs and the other fitted with a
metal boz in which to place the birds.
In warm weather sufficient ice may
be included to insure arrival in good
condition.
Barrels OF various sizes are popu-
lar packages, especially when ice
must be used. Pack them with alter
nate layers OF ice and birds, the bot
tom and top layers being invariably
ice. Upon the top place good-sized
piece OF ice, which will melt, causing
the ice water to continuously trickle
down through the layers of birds be-
meath. Cover the top with a piece OF
burlap, fasten this by means of
hoop. Cases may be filled with ice
and dressed poultry in the same man
ner, and in some respects are prefer
able to barrels. Burlap tops should
be used on cases of iced stock, as well
IS on iron barrels. as all packages SO
covered will be kept right side up

To avoid the disaster Of girdled stems
raise slight mound of earth about
the tree, beat 1t smooth with the back
of the spade, and keep the mulch at
least foot or two away Another
mistake is in making these mounds
of chunks OF turf or of sod, the grass
of which, with the crevices between,
offers a strong invitation for the mice
to enter. The earth used for such
mounds should be in a pulverized
state. and then be beaten smooth and

Cows Paid For the Farm.

Example is better than precept, It
is said. l am quite sure 1t is more
effective, and I expect much from it.
l have factory, the patrons of which
are all trying to excel each other in
the quantity and the quality of the
milk they send to it. l use the Bab-
cock test in this factory, and to its
use I attribute the great improve
ment in the quantity and in the quail
ity of the milk which has taken place
since I first adopted It.
About six years ago, a farmer
moved from a rented farm on to
one in the district where this factory
Is situated. When he was on the
first farm he thought he was doing
exceedingly we'll II he drew from the
factory s35 month. After he had
been sending his milk to our factory
for about couple of months. he
came to me and said, "Mr. Eager,
want you to lend me some money"
I said, "Very we'll; do you mind
telling me what you want It for?"
He replied, II want to buy some
cows. I see the other patrons TAX
ing three or four cans of milk to the
factory every morning. and there 1
am with my one can and that not
always full. I can't stand the sight
any longer; I am going to catch up
with those fellows-that is, IL you
will lend me the money to buy cows"
I was very glad to do SO.
AS have already said, that farmer
before he moved was content to re-
celve from the factory $35 month;
in two years from the time he first
came to me he was drawing over
500. He enlarged his herd; he i'm
proved it. and to get the best results
from the test, he sent his milk to the
factory in condition such as he had
never sent it before. At the end of
six years ne had a farm of his own

Her conscience did suggest an apol.
ogy; but no, the disciple of cleanli.
ness must stick to her colors. She
came forward stiffly.
Il do not need your pan any more
than l needed your parsnips, and |
do not care to hear such language. :"
She marched straight to the PAN
tossed 1t over the fence, then went
directly into the house, apparently
unmindful that before the door was
hardly closed the pan again sailed
into her yard.
Then pan farce certainly began.
There were no more words between
these two; but If no words went back
and forth, the unlucky pan took
flights enough Mrs. Read would 60
out with her ashes, and, spying the
pan, would send it on hasty Jour-
ney. Mrs. Watson would come out
to weed the famous parsnip-bed, and
how the pan would spin back again!
Happily there were no children to
take up the feud and throw the pan.
The "cross baby" spent its time most
ly in the house or on sheltered
porch away from the Watson side.
The two husbands nodded good day
to each other as usual; in fact, Mr..
Watson, at least, found a Joke in the
Travelled pan.
Slowly hot June sun climbed
higher one morning. Both husbands
were at work, the Read baby was
asleep, and both yards were in state
of neutrality, although the pan was
on the Watson side. One lone cherry.
tree grew in the Read yard, and to
this Mrs. Read, with step-ladder and
pail. now made her way, visions OF
preserves floating in her head. Up
she climbed to the very top of the
ladder, and picked till her head was
dizzy in the hot spring sun. There
were still finer cherries just above
her, and with good deal of hesita-
tion she reached higher, found limb
for her foot to rest on, and left the
friendly step-ladder entirely behind.
Now Mrs. Read was stout, and
cherry limbs are brittle. There was
not moment of warning when
crash! crash with one shrill scream
Mrs. Read was landed, cherries and
all, upon the ground in a dismal
heap.
Mrs. Watson, who was cleaning
house, heard the scream through her
opened windows, and rushed to the
scene. Out of her gate and in at
her neighbor's was the journey of
moment.
Then capable hand was removing
the overturned step-ladder, brushing
away the crushed cherries, and help
ing the dazed woman to her feet.
Well, now, l do call you lucky!
Not bone broke, is there? But ]
guess you're shook up some. Now
let me help you in onto the lounge,
and you just rest spell. Awful un-
certain work to climb into cherry
trees"
You're real good" murmured
Mrs. Read, as Mrs. Watson steadied
her shaking form into the house.
The blow must have affected her
head little, for she sank into a
sound sleep, to be reused by the baby
some hours later. When she went
into the kitchen the first thing that
met her eyes was the pan-battered
from its many blows, but still able
to be piled full of cherries.
Beside 1t was paper, on which
Mrs. Watson had scribbled:
'I've washed the pan and washed
the cherries. I hope you won't be
lame"
Mrs. Read stood and looked at the
pan and cherries and message for
some minutes. Then in her slow way
she repeated the words of the morn
ing:
she's real good woman!''

A Hemstitched Guimnc.

An easy and very quick way to
make quite an elaborate guimpe
yoke is to draw the thread sufficient
ly to form sixteenth of an inch wide
stripes at inch and a half distances.
Hemstitch both edges and embroider
some pretty simple vine. or else
featherstitch in vine effect on the
parts between. The drawn lines can
end at graduated distances to form
the yoke as exactly as possible the
size to show above the dress edge.

work.
