FRENCH WAY OF DRESSING
FOWLS

The French poulterer kills his
fowls by dislocating the neck with
a swift back chuck given close to
the head. At once the dressing be-
gins SO that it may be completed
before the body cools. The legs
and wings are tucked close to the
body which is placed breast down
ward against a board. \ moist
cloth is spread On the back Which
imparts a fine grain appearance to
the flesh. A weight is applied to
secure the required market fat
ness and when thoroughly cold the
birds removed, packed carefully
and closely in crates or cases ac-
cording to their destination.

PLANTING THE ENGLISH
WALNUT.

As TO planting and cultiyating.
English walnut trees seem to re-
quire no particular soil, but should
not be set Out where it is low and
wet. The trees should be planted
10 to so feet apart each way. \
cultivated crop, such as corn or
potatoes, with small fruit trees for
filters, can be made to yield an in
come for the brief period. compar-
atiyely. before the walnuts begin
to bear. The pruning should be
done between fall and spring. only
such branches as would Interfere
with cultivation being removed.
In planting on the lawn the
ground about the base of the tree
should be kept spaded for three
feet in circumference. and after the
first year some w~ell-rotted manure
should be worked into the sol
around the tree. No c~ultivatine
should be done after the first OF
August, as it would encourage
further growth. and from then I'm
til winter the annual growth OF
wood. is ripening and hardening.

FOR THE HORSE BREEDER

DRAINING HEAVY CLAY
II

The drainage of heavy clay lands
deserves much attention, for the
Weld of crops obtained On such
;oils is very largely proportional
10 the degree OF drainage. This
soil. being naturally retentive Of
moisture, puddles very easily if
worked when wet, thus preventing
Inc entrance of air into the ground.
The xccss OF water also prevents
The soil from warming up early in
lie spring, and thus retards the
planting Of seed and its germina-
ION after being planted. The bac-
,cria and other organisms which
prepare the nitrogen Of the soil for
,l,c use Of the higher plants can
moi do their work we'll III a wet or
pnddled soil. They must have air
and a comparatively high temper
,lIrc in order to do their best
work.
The surface water which acct
mulalcs after heavy rains should
not be allowed to remain on the
Ground long. Hence the impor-
lance OF having a good system OF
surface drains or bitches to carry
IVA, this %superhuous water. Gen
erally speaking, on heavy clay out
lets for bitches can be had without
mucii trouble or expense.
hateycr system is used, il
should be planned and carried OH,
N HE most effective way. The i'm.
uorlan, fact to remember is that il
order to farm successfully the fla
clay lands with most crops it i.
necessary to provide some practi
cal system Of surface drainage.
The land should be plowed il
narrow lands leaving dead furrow
about so feet apart. The open fur
rows are cleaned out and the waite
FROM them flows into a ditch on tn
side Of the field. By this means
very little surface water will stan
OH the field after heavy rains. B
this means, deep cross bitches ar
largely avoided. When the land
plowcd in the fall, the dead fu,
rows are filled and new furrow
opened about IS feet from wher
the old burrows were. This sys
tenn Of surface draining has give
satisfaction in many localities.
