MARKET POULTRY.
Points That Must Be Considered II
Good Prices Are to Be Had.

1t is very difficult to find a good
market for well matured and nicely
dressed poultry, but the poor and i'll
conditioned stuff goes slow and at the
same time helps to drag down the
prices of all first-class stock In pass
ing the large city markets l have Oft
en- wondered where all this poorly
prepared poultry comes from and
where it went to. There is one thing
certain, the one who produces it loses
money on it if his feed cost him any
thing at all, for at the present prices
for grain no farmer can afford to grow
a chicken up and sell it at the prices
this class brings on the market There
is no profit in trying to fatten chick
en- or fowl that has once been stunt
ed, for it will require as much corn
to fatten this one as it would to fatten
two thrifty birds, and in the end it
will be tough and stringy.
More careful attention should be
given to the dressing, packing and
shipping of poultry by farmers than
is generally given. Uniformity is one
great thing with market poultry, and
generally the most salable is the me-
diminished birds having a plump and
shapely body.
Corn meal moistened with milk is
an appetizing and fattening food for
the first meal of the day, says the Ma
tional Fruit Grower. Green stuff,
wheat or buckwheat at noon, and all
the cracked corn they will eat at
night. Grit and charcoal should be
within reach of them all the time and
clean water put in the coops twice
daily. See that their quarters are al
ways kept properly cleaned. If
cooped in a comfortable place and
properly fed, ten days should make
them in marketable condition.

CURE FOR SCALY LEG.
Coal Oil Used Alone Is Too Severe
Treatment.

Coal oil alone is little used for scaly
leg. 1t is too severe treatment. Coal
oil with raw linseed oil is very COM
monty used, and is an excellent rem
edy much more easily applied than
anything that has to be rubbed in. Sui
phur and lard, or even lard alone, is
good. Whether it is better than coal
oil and linseed oil, l can not say. The
latter mixture certainly is efficacious
and very easily applied. For the
former half and half mixture is good.
If more time can be taken, use about
two parts linseed to one part coal OIL
If you are in hurry, take a stiff old
toothbrush, and rub off as much Of the
scale as can be taken off readily in
this way, then dip legs to the hook in
the oil. If you are not, says Farm
Poultry, at intervals of few days go
through the affected flock at night, and
dip the feet of every hen, holding her
with feet in the oil just an instant,
letting the oil drip from the feet into
the pail an instant more, then replac-
ing her on the roost.

Poultry IN the GARDEN.

It is usually thought that the gar.
den and poultry do not naturally go
together. The fact is, they go to-
gether very well at the right time OF
year. That time is when there Is
nothing for the fowls to pick at, such
as ripe tomatoes 1t is good plan
to keep the fowls out of the garden
when new things are coming up
whether this time be in the spring or
in the summer. But after things arc
well up, the fowls will do more good
in the garden than they will harm,
as they catch the insects and scratch
over the ground. If they eat the let
tuce from the abandoned lettuce bed.

How TO Clean Brass.

A simple and most satisfactory
method of cleaning brass bedsteads,
curtain poles, andirons, etc., is to
dampen a cloth with ammonia, rub it
briskly over piece of pumice soap
and then over the brass. This mixture
acts like magic Have tried it on ar
ticles thought to be beyond redemp-
ton, so black had they become, which,
with the least effort, were restored to
their original beauty. 1t is necessary
only to dampen the cloth with am
monia, and with little pumice soap
rubbed on the brass and the work is
ACCOMPLISHED.

Gin the Elinht Feathers.

Clipping off the flight feathers OF
= wing to prevent fowl from flying
over a fence causes it to look mis-
shapen or one-sided. There Is 10
necessity for cutting off the feathers.
The object can be attained by cutting
off the inner web of four or five of the
long flight feathers, so they can not
hold against the air and the wing Will
retain its place, and the outside OF the
same will not be disfgured. Do not
destroy the wing by clipping it after
the melting season on such fowls al
ara intended for selling or showing.

JUDGE siIverthorn Leaves Bench.

Judge SlIVerrnOrn Leaves Bench.
Judge w. G. Silverthorn of Wausau,
judge of the Sixteenth judicial circuit
of Wisconsin, came to Madison and
personally rendered his resignation to
Gov. Davidson. The governor was just
preparing to leave his office to go
home when Judge Silverthorn arrived
at the capitol and asked for an inter
view. Without further words he
reached into an inner pocket of his
coat and drew out his resignation
which was in typewriter form, and
laid it before the governor. The resig-
nation reads as follows" Wausau.-To
His Excel1ency, the Hon. James O..
Davidson, Governor of Wisconsin.
Dear Sir: I herewith tender you my
resignation as judge of the Sixteenth
judicial circuit of the state of Wiscon-
sin. w. G. Silverthorn, Judge of Six
teenth Circuit"
After the governor had read the pa
per Judge Silverthorn said that be-
cause of his advancing years and for
other personal reasons he felt it his
duty to tender his resignation at this
time. The governor expressed his re-
gret that the judge should find his cir
cumstances such as to impel him to
retire from the bench now, and said
he hoped the judge had still before
him many years of usefulness and
happiness. The governor said that he
would take the resignation under con-
sideration.
