HOW TO PLUCK CHICKENS.
Why Dry Picking Is Apt to Prove the
Most Satisfactory.

OF course any housewife knows how
to pluck chickens, says the farmer,
but do they know how to prepare the
birds 30 that they will be attractive to
the eye (which counts much to the
purchaser)? When a bird is plucked
dry the poultryman will receive more
per pound for the fowl than when it is
scalded.
In picking dry. the breast should be
plucked first, starting near the crop
After the breast the thighs, then the
back near the base of the tail, and last
the wings. As soon as the feathers
have been removed the wings should
be twisted over the back and the feet
washed, after which the thighs and
legs should be pressed to the body
either by placing a brick on the birds
breast or by tying the bird, the object
of this being to give the bird a plump
or Dlocky appearance.
Any aged bird may be scalded with
out seriously injuring its quality If 1t
is properly handled; but owing to the
large number of poorly dressed scald-
ed fowls the marketmen place a pre-
MUM of from one to two cents pound
on dry-plucked stock. Boiling water
may be used, but care must be taken
not to leave young birds In the water
too long, or the skin will cook, while
with 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 unsightly.
Immediately after the bird is taken
from the scslding water It should be
dipped into cold water to stop the
cooking, and, as poultrymen say, to
plump the bird" The bird should
hen be hung to a line with feet tied
together as no bird plucked on the lap
or a table will have so good an appear.
ance.
If scalded bird is exposed to
draught when being plucked or when
cooling. the skin is likely to harden
and become tough. II is because of
these possibilities that dry plucking is
recommended by large raisers of poul-
try, as the condition of the skin to
great extent accounts for the high OF
low returns received

SPECIAL FATTENiNo.
Give the Poultry a Special Finish
Before Marketing.

good many dollars are lost every
year by farmers because they send
their poultry to market in poor condi
ton az regards flesh. On many farms
the practice is to ship every winter
several crates OF live poultry, young
aud old, and in most cases the speci
mems sold are picked up off the range
and NO attention is paid to the condi
tion o; flesh. The farmer can fatten
his poultry cheaper than any one else
under the sun and in most cases over
a pound OF weight can be added to
every fowl Nold at a cost OF not more
than Ave cents. The extra flesh added
would make lhe entire consignment
sell for one or two cents a pound more
than II otherwise would, at the lowest
estimate.
All the fowls that are to be sold
should be selected three weeks before
the time they are to be shipped and
placed in separate quarters, suggests
The Farmer. They should be given
reasonably sized pen indoors and
fair sized yard outside, whore they
may exercise somewhat in fair wealth.
er They should be fed three times
day, morning, noon and night. The
morning and noon feeds may consist
OF one part corn meal, one part ground
oats with the hulls sifted out, one
part bran and third of part of high
grade beef scraps. This may be mixed
with water or milk, though II milk is
used not quite so much beef scraps
will be needed. The night feed should
be of cracked corn. Fresh water
should be given TO drink and a box of
grit and one of charcoal should be
placed where the fowls can reach 1t al
any time. No more should be fed at
each meal than the birds will eat up
a. one feed and any that is left over
after Is minutes should be taken away
and the feeding troughs removed.

Edgar Allen Pecan Appreciation.

The above is the title of an inter-
esting sermon delivered Sunday
evening at the PRESBYTERIAN church
by the pastor, Rev. W. B. Dunham.
| speaking of Poe, Mr.. Dunham was
sympathetic, impartial and unbiased
and in discussing his literary produc.
tions, praised them highly. Poe's life
was described as pathetic to an
ceptional degree, and as being one of
constant and hopeless despair, due
largely to his lack of belief in God,
or, as described in the morning SER
mon, "Having No Hope and Without
God"
The sermon contained a fine tribute
to Poe's chivalrous attitude toward
women and to his devotion to his
young wife, who was perhaps the only
source of hope and inspiration in the
poets otherwise deary life. Because
of his great love for his wife, Poe
described his mother-in.law as more
than mother and one of his poems
Is a tribute to her.
Instead of seriously reading and
studying Poe's work the pastor pre-
fers to wander through them, through
their scenes and plots, since in this
way more pleasure and good may be
derived from this authors produc-
tions. The sermon was a treat to
those who have read and liked Poe's
works, and who regard Poe's life with
broad sympathy.

The story was told to him by a friend,
Lady Simon. II seems that she was

on, and the storm went on more and
more until we reached Bristol, where
we waited ten minutes. My old gen.

window for me TO see. Such a night.
Such chaos of elemental and artificial
lights and noises ! never saw nor

minutes with closed eyes, then opened
them and said. Well, have been
