buds prove to be valuable human food,
it would seem cheapest to just go out

Why the Cord of Wood Shrinks So

Ralph Faulkner and Henry Stern
berg, students in the College of For
estry at the University of Washington,
have proved by experiment that cord
of full length wood when sawed and
replied in the ordinary stack shrinks
on an average 24.76 per cent AS deal
ers buy wood in full lengths and usual
~ measure it for delivery before saw
ing it, they are often accused of giving
short measure.
A cord Is the standard measurement
Of wood, and it Is defined as 1913 cubic
feet of wood, measured by pile four
feet high and eight feet wide Of logs
four feet long.
The discrepancy between the cord as
bought by the dealer and as delivered
to the customer, according to PROBES
sOr Hugo Winkenwerder, dean of the
college, is not entirely explained by
the sawdust. When wood is piled up
in four foot lengths there are many
spaces between sticks, caused by knots
and curvatures. These spaces are elm
mated when the wood is cut up small

THE POULTRY SHOW.
How to Prepare Your Fowls So That
They Will Take First Prizes.


They Will Take First Prizes.
About four days before the show
give each fowl a warm bath. A thor
ough washing and careful drying will
improve the appearance of almost ev-
cry fowl, whether its color Is white,
black or intermediate shades. A hot
room and the following utensils are
essential: Wash boiler filed with boil
ing water preferably rainwater), two
large tubs for colored fowls and
three tubs for white fowls, dipper
hand brush, large sponge, cake OF good
toilet soap and some towels.
The tub in which the fowl is first
placed for washing is filled two-thirds
with fairly hot water The second tub
is partly filled with moderately warm
water to rinse out the soap, while the
third tub for white fowls only (also
/ partly filled with moderately warm
gater) is slightly colored with blu1ng,
IS for bluing white clothes.
Before the fowl is placed in the
washing tub, it's feet and. legs should
be thoroughly cleansed. Then stand
the fowl in the water. Make an abun-
dant lather with the soap and sponge,
and work this stiff lather through all
the plumage. Lather the back, sides
of the body and the under plumage.
Rub the feathers with the web, or di-
agonaIly, not against the web. Elk
tend the wings and tail and wash each
feather, using the palm Of one hand
for a support.
When the fowl has been washed, 1t
is allowed to drain for few. seconds,
and then immersed IN the rinsing tub.
Here the dipper and sponge are used
to thoroughly remove all soap from the
plumage With white fowls, the birds
are now dipped in the bluing water.
When the fowl is taken from the
rinsing tub it is stood on a table and
the superfuous water Is removed with
the sponge. The feathers are next
"patted" with a towel to partly dry
them, and the bird Is placed in a clean
coop near the stove to complete the
drying.
Ordinary shipping coops have slat-
ted tops and sides, and they are low
The coops for shipping show birds
must be covered with muslin or have
solid sides, and they must be high
enough for the birds to stand upright
and wide enough for the birds to turf
around without injuring their tails.

With a Forked Stick.

It is much easier to take clothes out
of boiler if forked stick is used in
stead of the usual round one One can
be Whitfield out at home. Take piece
of wood four inches wide and thirty
inches long. That will make a handle
twentyfour inches in length and forks
Of six inches. When shaped the ham

be found ready made. All that you
will have to do to prepare it will be to
