PREPARING FOWL FOR TABLE
Rules 1t Will Be Well to Observe in
the Operation of "PIucking"
Biddy Before Cooking.

The fowl being carefully plucked and
cut off the head, leaving about four
inches of the neck, slit the skin down
the back of the neck and loosen it
completely all around. Separate the
gullet and follow it with the fingers,
passing them all around where it en-
tiers the body, so as to loosen the crop,
which can then be pulled out whole
with its contents, merely by laying
hold of the gullet with a cloth to pre-
vent it from slipping. Then cut the
neck off quite close to the body, ieav-
ing the flap of skin on. With the point
Of a sharp knife make short cross
way slit, just beneath the tail Of the
bird, taking care in doing so, however,
not to wound the intestines. Into
this slit put one finger as far as it
will go, and pass it round close to the
breastbone and backbone, so as to
break through the attachments which
hold the internal organs in place. En-
large the hole then, if necessary
enough to admit two fingers, and be-
tween these lay hold of the gizzard,
the large hard mass which will usually
be found lying just beneath the point
of the breastbone. Draw this out first,
and then, by pulling gently but firmly,
all the rest will follow together, af-
ter which the body should be washed
or wiped out.-Modern Priscilla.

SHOW PICTURES OF WARES
Only Way Russian Merchants Can Let
llIiterate Peasants Know What
They Have to Sell.

Advertising seems to be an indispen-
sable part of modern life, and in Rus
STA, where most of the peasantry are
extremely illiterate, ingenious ways of
advertising may be seen. Beside the
printed designs Of the different shops,
which would be quite meaningless to
the customers, are painted pictures of
what wares are sold there.
The baker shows his rolls, loaves
and cakes; fish are seen at another
place; tea may be found over there
where one sees the teacups and sau-
GERS, and thus is everything else To-
Gated. For the convenience Of the
peasant the houses are painted various
bright colors, so that he can find his
way among them.
If he wants to know when the train
starts, instead Of reading the time ia
bles he listens to bells which are rung
at the stations. When one bell rings
he knows he has still Is minutes;
when two are sounded only five re-
main, and when three strike his ear the
train starts.
If he wants to read letter he goes
to the post office and pays a sum equal
to z cents to man who does it for
him.. When he sends a postcard PA
cents will get it done for him and
cents procures a long letter. The adj
dress of a letter costs him half a cent
He knows where the letter boxes are
because he can see the picture Of the
post card or letter beside it.

Good Work by Boys

The manual training exhibit was
arranged in the east end of the long
gymnasium. Library tables cedar
chests, and writing desks of beauti-
fully grained wood and graceful de-
sign that would bring top prices in
the shops were modestly owned by
the youthful manufacturers. In one
corner of the room was displayed a
complete wireless outfit owned and
built, but in these war times not OPP
Grated, by Jack Woodwork, Kenneth
House, Dean Kelley and Harry Peter
son. Many of the pieces of furniture
were upholstered in leather, with the
neatest of finishes. One clever bit
of work. was mahogany jewel cas-
ket, with solid brass trimmings and
lock, and lined in rich blue satin.
The large library table made by Bob
Witeck, which has been used in
the office of the superintendent dur
ing the last semester was on display.
Where Girls Shine
One hundred fifteen dresses, alone,
were displayed by the students of the
sewing classes, in addition to table
after table of dainty white lingerie,
blouses, guest towels, aprons, bed
sets, and linens. The dresses rang
ed from simple summer tub frocks
and pongees to winter serges, tat
etas and more elaborate afternoon and
evening frocks. One lovely frock,
made by a senior, was of orchid tat
feta, embroidered in rose design with
steel beads and silver threads. Another
clever summary affair was made OF
sheer white organdie, in Russian
blouse fashion, embroidered in yellow
French knots in a rose pattern. The
uniforms of the June graduating class
were on display, simple sports af- |,
fairs of white beach cloth trimmed |
with pearl buttons and finished with
a large white silk tie.
Miss Edna Dewey, head of the home
economics department, said today
that the average cost of the gradual
ing uniforms were 1887 each. Anoth-
err feature of the display was the row
of dainty summer dresses made by the
students of the freshman class, young
girls just entering their teens. The
whole display shows surprising

Irritation In Utah Mountains.

Up In the Utah mountains some very
clever points in irrigation are devel-
oped. One worth this special notice
is in the irrigation of deciduous fruit
trees. In this case they had a deep,
gravelly soil to deal with and they
found that by frequent irrigations, APP
piled about once a week, they pro-
duced more twig growth in peach trees
with 81 acre inches than with 81
inches. AS regards crops, the frequent
application Of water produced the most
fruit, and no amount of water applied
early in the season will compensate for
lack of water during the month before
harvest. High color of fruit was asso-
ciated with late watering and INSULT
cient irrigation produced poor colored
fruit.

The annual exhibit of the manual

held this afternoon in the gymnasium
Of the High school and will also be on
display this evening. 1t is by far the
most elaborate display ever held by
the departments, and would do credit
to an institution many times the
size of the Moscow school, and the
quality of the work would indicate
the craftsmen to be careful, expert
enced users of the needle and tool.
There were nearly 1000 pieces of
hand work on display made since
the first of September by the 80 stu
dents enrolled in the sewing classes.
The exhibit of the manual training
department was handicapped by the
many unfinished articles having been
left by the great number of, students
who left school this spring before
their work, but the pieces
on display were very handsome 81
