been recently available for domestic
use by the introduction Of the cooking
cabinet. In the main this is nothing
more or less than a well-constructed
box of oak, thoroughly insulated to
keep in the heat. 1t is SO inches long
Is wide, and II deep. It is equipped
with three enamel vessels of a con-
struction especially designed for this
character Of work, having covers
which are clamped on to further facil-
itate the retention of the heat. The
lids of these vessels are held on by a
revolving bar-lock device. which not
only makes a hermetically tight joint,
but also acts as a handle One Of
these three vessels is of eight quarts
| capacity, and the other two four quarts
each. After the viands in the kettle
have been exposed to the heat of the
stove until boiling has taken place for
minute or so, the lid is clamped into
place, and the whole pot transferred
to one of the pockets of the cooker.
The actual time consumed In the
preparation Of food by this process is
about double that ordinarily required,
but the food may be left in very long
and will not be overdone. The saving
OF fuel resulting from the use Of the
cooker is considerable, and the bur-
dens Of the housewife are about
halved.

plan it is not intended to insist that
the arrangement is the only satisfac-
tory one, but the idea is to present

which are vital to well planned

reasons for adopting this width,

to allow the blood to collect in the
neck. Where the birds are allowed
to become cool before being plucked,
& is very hard to avoid tearing the
skin; and the plucking is much more
tedious. The birds should be plucked
clean with the exception Of about
two inches Of feathers adjoining the
head.
After the chicken has been plucked
1t should be placed on a shaping
board, as seen In figures 1 and 2.
The weight placed on the top Of the
chickens is used to give it compact
appearance. This weight may be Of
iron, as seen In the cut, or a brick
may be used in its place II chickens
are hung by the legs after being
plucked, it spoils their appearance,
making them look thin and leggy.
Many good chickens are spoiled by
being packed before they are thor
oughly cooled. Care should be taken
that all the animal heat is out Of the
body before the fowls are packed
We always cool the birds at least IL
hours before packing them.
The chickens are packed in boxes
as seen in figure 3. The box is lined
with parchment paper; and, II the
chickens are to be shipped a long dis
tance, each bird is wrapped in paper.
This prevents the chickens from
bruising each other, and, at the same
time, to considerable extent, checks
decomposition.
Do not use ordinary wrapping pa
per- as It draws dampness, and will
cause the chickens to become clammy,

shed or on the field. It is undesirable
from the standpoint Of construction
to have a manure pit under the

BEST GAINS SHOWN
BY YOUNG STOCK
By Prof rB. ssumsord. Missouri.

One fact which has perhaps been
more definitely demonstrated in this
matter Of feeding than any other is
the fact that the younger the animal
the less feed will be required to pro
duce a given amount Of gain. It is
not a mere matter Of opinion now.
We know a young animal will pro-
duce a Pound Of gain with less grain
than an older animal of the same
kind under the same conditions, and
there are in some cases remarkable
differences. The attention Of feeders
was first called to this fact by the
men who fed the cattle for the old
fat stock show In Chicago. Those
feeders commenced with calf at

Novel Way of
Exercising the Bull

Prof Fraser. head of the dairy de-
partment of the University Of Hi
nois, has invented a neat arrange
ment for exercising the herd bull
This includes a tread power. on which
the bull can work off his surplus en-
ergy A narrow gangway leads from
the bull pen TO the tread power, this
gangway being for the man that leads
the bull The animal is some feet be-
low the gangway, which is protected
by a strong fence from possible at
tack by the bull. The herdsman mere
ly has to use the rope attached to the
ring in the nose of the bull and does
not have to use the staff, as the bun
IS at too great a disadvantage to make
him dangerous.
On the tread power In question the
heavy Holstetin bull ct the head Of the
herd exercises himself daily for an
hour or Lore. The tread power is not
attached to any kind Of machine for
doing farm work. and Prof. Fraser
says he is merely wearing out sole
leather" On farm the power could
be made useful for doing any kind Of
work that had to be done every day,
such as running the separator, 49,

Keep Dogs Away from cows.-A
COW OF any temperature is easily
spoiled by having dog nipping at her
heels when being driven. This causes
nervousness and irritability and when,
accidentally. anyone touches the cows
legs or heels in milking, she is likely
to kick, thinking a dog is after her.
