DRESS SQUADS FOR MARKET
After Psnstratins Brain With sharp
Knife Bird 10 Allowed to Bleed
Thoroughly.

(By MICHAEL X. BOYER. New Jerssy)
One-half dozen or more squad are
hung on the rack at one time. The
wings of each are then locked. which
is done by drawing the wings closely
together in the back, allowing one
wing to overlap the other. 1t holds
them firmly and causes no pain.
The mouth of the squad is held open
with the thumb and first finger Of the
left hand, the head and shoulders be-
ing held in the left hand. With knife
in the right hand the blade is inserted
through the crown Of the head, pene-
trating the brain.
At once the operator releases his
grasp and allows the bird to bleed
thoroughly before starting to pluck the
| feathers.
BY the time about half a dozen of
the birds have been stabbed the first
killed has bled sufficiently to be ready
for picking. The squad is then re-
moved from the rack and held In the
hands while plucking the feathers.
This method is said to be the most

$50 SQUAD can thus be dressed in a
day by good operator.
Some pigeon men believe in holding
the bird while killing, but it has been
proven that birds held do not bleed SO
thoroughly as when hanging. owing to
| the fact that the hand more or less
congresses the fine veins. thus retard-
| ing the flow of blood.
When bird is not sufficiently bled
| it shows itself in blisters. These blis-
tiers are red biotches that form on the
backs of the birds, and which develop
| by the time the carcasses reach the
market.
Fresh water should be given twice
daily, but only the very best Of grain.
| Avoid damaged stuff.
Do not fail to bear in mind that the
profit is derived only from the mated
pairs.

PROFIT IN ASPARAGUS

coalition which deprives the plants
Of this season Of growth lessons the
subsequent productiveness Of the bed.
Tillage and proper feeding are the
means with which the, asparagus
grower must reinforce II.
A. soon as the cutting season IL
over-July first for the mature beds
and June first for the three-year-old
planting-the ridges are plowed down
and good fertilizer applied over the
crowns
One successful grower uses q dress
ing Of $50 pounds Of nitrate of soda,
$50 OF muriate Of potash mixed with
1900 pounds Of ground bone applied
at the rate Of 800 pounds to the acre
after cutting.
A previous dressing Of 800 pounds
to the acre before cutting is essential.
After covering with the fertilizer the
bed is left nearly level until . vigor-
Gus stand Of spears has developed.
The soil is cultivated every few days.
When the graceful. feathery foliage
has fully developed the soil should be
thrown toward the plants from time to
time by shallow furrows on either
side. This ridge Of earth thus formed
serves to support the long stems and
protect the roots.
Asparagus-beds require quantity
Of humus in the soil in order that
the plant may avail itself Of the nee.
essary food elements.
Some growers plant such soiling
crops as rye or clover, sowing the
seed with the last cultivation in the
fall and cutting it up with a cutaway
harrow in the spring.
The most popular method Of sup
plying the humus. in many asparagus
growing localities. is by dressing with
compost. using ten tons and upwart
to an acre.
deep furrow is made between ths
rows and the manure spread up, 1t be
ing covered by furrow.
Careful growers advocate applying
this compost between every othel
couple of rows, giving the alternate
spaces the manuring the next year.
This plan gives all the plants access
to the manure, but disturbs only hal
of the root system each year by the
deep iurrowing.

Whi.ewa.h In Dairy Barn.

DR.. Marshall, Pennsylvania insti-
tute speaker, says that whitewashing
of dairy barns should be done for
the sake of general sanitation. but
the main point in the fight against
tuberculosis is the elimination OF the
dark stables and filthy stall condi-
tions.
When clean methods are used in
the keeping of COWS. he advises the
use of compound made from one
pound of chloride of lime and five
gallons of whitewash, which. when
put on the walls and stable partitions.
acts as an effective preventive Of dis
ease.

the Novoe vremya says. Many mills
and factories have gone over to
naphtha as fuel and the consumption
is increasing every year.
Russia owns immense oil fields and
It could be the chief supplier of the
world. The need Of organization in
the business is recognized by the
government and a number of special
meetings have been held for discuss
ing the subject. New conditions have
been laid down for the exploitation OF
government territories. and the regu-
lations for investigations have been
changed. Some territories known az
being rich in oil have been closed to
private enterprise, such as the 'Ap-
sheron peninsula, near Baku. and vart-
Gus islands Of the Caspian sea, as we'll
as some territories in the Transcas-
plan Ural and Gerghana districts. and
others In the north Of Russia and ST.
IBERIA, amounting to millions of acres.
The reason for this action is the wish
to preserve these districts from ex-
haustion.
Another question concerns the mat
ter of investigation. 1t Is quite neces-
sary that the right of investigation be
granted on . large scale, and not only
for comparatively small lots OF ground.
where the Investigation might not pay.
The government Is aware of this fact,
and, according to the new regulations
the plots Of ground allotted for inves-
tigation are to be increased tenfold.
The most advisable system is to
grant concessions that would induce
capitalists to place their money in
such undertakings. Under the new
regulations regarding the investigation
of naphtha districts. the government
proposes to publish geological de-
scriptions Of the various districts.
