HOW TO DRESS CHICKENS,

When a bird is plucked dry the
loultryman will receive more per
pound for the fowl than when it
1t is scalded. In picking dry, the
breast should be plucked first, Start
ing near the crops, After the breast
tEen the thighs, then the back near
the base of the tail, and last the
wings should be twisted over the
hack and the feet washed, after
which the thighs and the legs
should be pressed to the body eth
er by placing a brick on the birds
breast or by tying the body, the OBJ
iect OF this being TO give the
bird plump OF blocky appearance.
Any aged bird may be scalded
without seriously injuring It's quail
ity If it is properly handled; but
owing to the large number of poor
ly dressed scalded fowls, the mar
ketmen places premium Of from
two to three cents a pound on dry
plucked stock. Boiling water may
be used, but care must be taken not
10 leave young birds in the water
too long, or the skin will cook, while
with an old fowl a little more time
may not do any harm. The head
and shanks should be kept out Of
the water, as the scalding will
discolor them and make them I'M
slightly. Immediately after the
young bird is taken from the Ecald-
ing water it should be dipped into
cold water to stop the cooking, and
as poultrymen say, to plump the
'biHdi The bird should then be
hung to a line with the feet tied
together as no bird plucked on the
table or will have SO good an ap-
rearance. II scalded bird is OK
posed to a draught when being
plucked or when cooling the skin is
likely to harden and become tough.
1t is because of these possibilities
that dry plucking is recommended
by large raisers Of poultry, as the
condition of the skin to a great ex-
tent accounts for the high or low

PARCELS POST.
The Postmaster General Says
We Ought TO Have A
Parcels Post.

The deficit in the Postoffice De-
ptrtment OF the United States Tor
the fiscal year was S16.9lO,O0O. Part
of the palling off Is. due to the
financial depression, and part 70 the
fact that free delivery does not yet
pay.
Postmaster General Meyer urges q
special local parcels post service on
the rural routes to make them telf-
sustaining as well as boon
to the farmer and country merchant,
He suggests five cents as q rate iJr
one pound and two cents for ,acn
additional pound up to eleven lbs,
which is the limit. An average Of %
pounds per trip per carrier would mea
an annual business Of $16,OOO,0O0, neal
ly all profit, Would man in pri-
yate business hesitate 20 net On
such showing.
Mr.. Meyer is known TO be fayorably
disposed toward general parcels posi-
for the entire country. Presumably
1t is because he despairs Of getting
1t that he modestly suggests half
loaf measure. The four reasons why
We unlike every other civilized a.
ton in the world have no parcels
post still hold as good as they did
when John Wannamaker first Start
ed them.
These four reasons were and IRE
the American Express Company, the
Adams Express Company, the Wells
Fargo Express Company and the I'm
tied States Express Company. They
are not good reasons, but they SO
far have been strong enough to
keep Congress from givi'g the req
pie the benefit Of parcels post.

RAISING POTATOES.

One of the best potato growers
of my acquaintance lives in Rock
Island county, Illinois, and he prac-
tees level culture. He makes a fur
row about S tx inches deep,
plants the potatoes in the bottom and
coversw it'll about two inches of soil
AS the plants grow he gradually
draws the ground up around them
and then when the furrow is level
full there is nothing more TO do
hut keep the weeds out and the
ground in fine condition. He
claims, and his experience lhows
he is right, that moisture is kept
In the ground much better in this
way and that it is easier to keep
the weeds down. The new potatoes
set on the stalls above the seed and
the killing up is entirely unneces-
sary.-J. NJ, Tennessee.
