Veneered Furniture.

In these days of the veneered fur
niture. when the buyer chooses only
that piece of quartered oak that
shows the most flake in the cut. it is
well to make it point to never allow
water or liquid long to remain on the
surfaces, this especially of tables. for
1t is liable to reach the glue. beneath
this paper-like surface, and later
when drying out make it lift and
bulge, to repair which only an expert
is capable. Dampness can easily
reach 1t almost unknowingly by plac-
ing on it a vase or Jar which has in
1t some cool substance that might
make moisture collect on the outer
side and leak to the table top. This
should be guarded against, as varnish.
ed surfaces become opaque and this
more often than the veneer bullying,
which happening is verify a calamity.
The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1911-11-23

bleeding is similar to wringing the
neck, but is only unjointing or break
ing at the first joint, uncoupling but
not detaching the head. Holding the
bird by the legs in the left hand, the
right should grasp the head OF the
chicken and then. by pulling directly
down and pushing the head a little
backward, a break is made. AS the
fowl hangs 1t bleeds into the neck and
no blood need be spilled till the head
Is cut off later. This makes clean
operation and causes satisfactory
bleeding and Draining" at once.
AS to dressing, the hot water meth
cd is most common, but often is not
properly done. The water should be
at nearly boiling point and the bird
should be held by the feet and head
and immersed once with the back up
ward and once with the breast up
ward, leaving it only short time in
the water, and pick as soon as possi-

ing may be commenced. BY trying a
few feathers from the back or sides it
may be determined whether or not the
feathers are dropped If not, brain
ing may be done again; If so, it is well
to pull the large feathers from the
wings and tail and then proceed to
the body. Dry picking requires some
practice, but with little skill may be
done very rapidly and is a great i'm
provement over any other method.
The choicest dressed poultry which
reaches the eastern markets is all dry
picked, dry cooled and dry packed.
Any locality has patrons who ap-
preciate choice. neat articles OF food
and would enjoy the production of
such.
If the dressed fowls are to be kept
any length of time they should be
starved several hours before killing
and then left undrawn, but for imme-
date use the consumer is generally
better pleased with the drawn car
cass.
Some of these methods of prepare
ton are almost as easy, time saving.
and far more satisfactory than chop
ping off the head and heating the ket-
tie of water for scalding. This not
only applies to the market producer
but to anyone dressing fowls.

To Prevent Horns
Growing On
Young Calves
ee%~~e~e~e~$~~~>S~~~%~~>~e

When circumstances are favorable,
as in the case of farmers who build up
their herds by raising the progeny, the
horns may be prevented from growing
by a simple and practically painless
method, and the custom of prevent
ing the growth of horns is becoming
more popular and more generally prac-
ticed under all conditions except in
the case of calves dropped on the
open range. The calf should be treat
ed not later than one week after its
birth, preferably when it is from
three to five days old. The agent to
be used may be either caustic soda or
caustic potash, both of which may be
procured in the drug stores in the
form of sticks about the thickness Of
an ordinary lead pencil and five inches
long. These caustics must be handled
with care, as they dissolve the cuticle
and may make the hands or fingers
sore. The preparation of the calf con-
sists in first clipping the hair from
the parts, washing clean with soap and
warm water, and thoroughly drying
with a cloth or towel. The stick of
caustic should be wrapped in a piece
Of paper to protect the hands and fin
gers, leaving one end of the stick un-
covered.
Moisten the uncovered end slightly
and rub it on the horn buttons or
little points which may be felt on the
Calls head, first on one and then the
other, alternately, two or three times
on each, allowing the caustic to dry
after each application. Be very care
full to apply the caustic to the horn
button only. If IL is brought in con.
tact with the surrounding skin it will
cause pain. Be very careful also not
to have too much moisture on the
stick of caustic, as 1t will remove the
skin il allowed to run down over the
face. After treatment, keep the calf
protected from rain, as water on the
head after the applications Of caus-
tic will cause it to run down over the
face. This must be carefully avoided.

Killing and Dressing
Chickens

The old AK or Ratchet always has
and probably always will be common
way of killing the Sunday dinner.
Since the fowl Is generally eaten right
away the condition of the carcass Is
not of great Importance, but when
chickens are killed few days or
longer before marketing care should
be taken that the appearance is as at
tractive as possible, and the keeping
qualities are greatly improved by
proper killing and dressing.
A visit to the local market will gen.
orally show more or less dressed
chickens. many OF them purple and
SCARED in flesh. with little red spots
about the body as though the blood
had followed the feathers when
happened, every bruise and thumb
mark showing, presenting an undesir-
able appearance. These conditions
are due to improper killing and dress
ing.
Sticking" is as easy as chopping
ing when stuck, may be allowed to
bleed freely without humping about
and bruising itself as il does Hopping
when thrown down after losing its
head. But sticking" must be done
properly TO secure results.
rhara ara two IarCo N tho
neck Of the fowl. one on either side
running the whole length and united
by cross vein just below and behind
the ear. This connecting vein does
not run straight across the neck, but
Is farther in front at the right than
on the left side. In making the stick,
a knife with small blade about two
inches long should be used and stuck
inside the chickens mouth, against the
right side somewhat, so as to strike
the vein, and clean slash made. This
will cause thorough bleeding and
should be accompanied by Draining"
which destroys the senses, relieving
any suffering of the fowl and causing
entire relaxation.
The Draining is done by running
the blade up through the little natural
opening In the roof of the mouth be-
tween the eyes to the edge OF the
brain, where slight twist or a back.

knife should paralyze the fowl. This
causes the bird to drop its feathers"

ceases, and even dry picking can be
easily done, If desired.

start the Garden in the Fall.

The most successful gardens are
started in the fall, although not a
seed may be planted in the soil. If
you have been living in town without
a garden, now is good time to clean
up the back of the lot and get load
of barnyard manure to scatter evenly
over the surface. Some Of the space
should be plowed or spaded this fall
to accommodate the earliest varieties
of vegetables. This spading allows

FILLING
THE SILO
By r. S. SHAW

The first consideration is to have
the silo ready, including all necessary
repairs, for indications are that en-
Safeguarding will begin early this
season. 1t is poor economy to begin
repairing when the silage cutter
starts and hunt the old or make new
doors as the filling progresses for the
packing and tramping is sure to be
neglected The same is true also of
the slage cutter, corn harvester and
equipment for handling and hauling
Let the corn mature well even to
the stage of being ready to cut and
shock for husking; it will make a
sweeter silage.
Evenness of distribution in the silo
and careful tramping I'd packing are
features essential to success in max
ing the best quality of ensilage.
The silo may be filled to the top
without cessation and then more add
ed after it settles, but before the top
layer spols. 1t used to be considered
necessary to lay off occasionally to
give the silage chance to settle, but
this is not essential.
In the case of immature frosted
corn it has been commonly assumed
that it should be hurried into the silo
as quickly as possible after the
freeze. Recent experience, however,
seems to indicate that a delay of
several days Is not injurious, but
rather beneficial, providing loss Of
dried leaves does not occur from too
prolonged delay.

Child of Genius

An actor was talking at the Play.
ers' Club in New York about David
Belasco's skill as a stage manager.
"Belasco," said the actor, has a
superhuman sense of the harmonies
the illnesses OF things. This enables
him to carry out stage scene to
such small details as no man ever
dreamed of before.
"Belasco, even in his childhood
possessed this unique sense of har.
mony. An uncle once gave him a
couple of chocolate cigars, then said
to the little boy:
"'What are you going to do with
them, David?'
"I1l go and eat them in the smok

1t is time now to wrap young fruit
trees in protection from rabbits. They
start gnawing trees earlier in the fall
than one imagines they would. They
must get their tonic from the bark
of trees in the early fall, and when
snow covers up all vegetation they
get their living from the trees and
brush. A little neglect in the young
orchard is usually mighty costly and
all trouble may be avoided by placing
wire screen around the base OF the
trees.
