PLANS OUTLINED FOR
 PREPARING POULTRY
Best to KiH Fowl by Cutting
 Throat With Knife.
Dry-Pickino Makes Better Appearing Product for Market-Cooling May Be Done by Placing carcasses
 In Iced Water.

Birds to be killed and marketed should be kept without feed for at least 12 hours before killing, say poul- try specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. The best method of killing is to suspend the fowl by the legs and through the mouth cut the jugular vein in the back of the throat with sharp-pointed knife. After cross-cutting this vein once or twice cut into the roof of the mouth so as to pierce the brain with the point of the knife, slightly turning the point after 1t has pierced the brain.
 Fowls to be used at home may be killed more easily by chopping off their heads The fowls may be either dry picked or scalded. Dry-picking makes better-appearing market fowl, but scalding, which is easier, Is often preferred. if the bird Is for home use Dry-picking should be done immedl- ately after the bird Is killed, as the feathers then come out more easily. Be careful not to tear the skin. For scaldlng. use water heated just below the boiling point, immersing the fowl two or three times, or until the feath- CTS pull off easily, but do not leave 1t in so long that the skin scalds.
 Cool the fowls after they are picked. either by hanging them up in cool place or soaking them in cold or iced water. Fowls for market are usually sold undrawn. but for home or local use they may be drawn by re- moving the crop through an opening made in the skin of the neck, and cut. ting around the vent and then remov- ing the intestlnes and all other vis- ceral material. making an additional slit into the abdomen if necessary. Place the liver and glzzard back in the body cavity.

CHECK DISEASE AMONG HOGS
Animals Become Infected with Tu. bercuIosls Principally From
 Following Cattle.

Eradicating tuberculosis from cattle will practically solve the problem of controlling the disease among swine. That is the opinion of veterinary ex- perts experienced in the handling and post-mortem examination of swine re- ceived at the principal market cen ters. By means of simple and practical marker, hogs may be tat tooed with distinguishing letters and figures, and when disease is found by post-mortem examination the identity of such animals Is known. With Q simple system of records 1t Is thus possible to trace shipment to the farm from which 1t came and stamp out infectious diseases at their source. Evidence shows that swine become in- fected with tuberculosis principally from cattle, either by following them in feed lots or pastures, by receiving infected dairy by-produ,ts, or by eat ing tuberculous carcasses.

IMPROPER FEEDING OF PIGS
One Big Reason Why Fall Porkers Prove UnprofitabIe in the Hands
 of Many Farmers.

One reason why fall pigs prove un- profitable in the hands of many farm CTS Is improper feeding. Many per sons have the mistaken idea that . pig must be fed light ration until 1t is four or five months old to give 1t a chance to grow. which Is one of the biggest mistakes a hog raiser can make. As soon as fall pigs will eat grain and while they are still sucking their dams, give them all the grain they will eat. In fact, the best thing is to have them run to trough or self-feeder, where they can and corn, oats, tankage or some other feed whenever they want 1t. After they are weaned keep them right on ra- tion of that sort until they are ready for the market. If you have self feeder, put shelled corn or ear corn in one part of it and tankage in an- other, or provide separate self-feeders, one for the corn and one for the tankage, and then let the pigs be the judge of how much to eat of each constituent.

and the sheet metal fitted tight at the edges.
 If long cavity Is to be filled with cement or asphalt, it usually is advis- able to place one or more bolts through 1t to hold the wood and filling more firmly together. Long cavities as rule, should be bolted every IS or "A inches.
 The most widely used material for filling cavities Is cement, usually in the form of cement mortar or con- crete. Under certain conditions as- phalt and sawdust and sand used in combination with cement blocks or with wood would be better than either used separately, and they often are more economical. Often large pieces of wood or smaller sectional pieces can be fitted to the opening and the in- terstices filled with the plastic. The Department of Agriculture in- vites correspondence concerning meth ods in tree-repair work, and will be prepared to advise for or against any particular method so far as experience and the results of experiments will permit.

 Independent of what?" she asked
 "Why, independent Of-of every thing. Nothin' more to worry about and plenty laid up for old age. Amt that worth sacrifice?"
 "John,' she said turning and raising her eyes to his face. Answer me straight question. What was the hap piest time in your life? Wasn't it when we lived in the one-roomed sod shanty, with scarcely cent to bless ourselves? We worked hard then, too, but we had time for long walks together across the prairies-time to sit in the dusk by the water and plan our lives together. We have done we'll; we have land, horses, machinery, money. But have we the happiness we knew when we had none of these? On the contrary, are you not worried morning, noon and night over your work and your property? Don't you complain about the kind of help the farmers have to hire nowadays, and the wages they have to pay? And if you get more land won't all your troubles be increased in proportion? John, sit down and think

 "Now I know where Beulah got her nonsense" he retOrted. "All this talk about real life is very fine, but you don't>g get much life, real or any other kind, unless you have the cash to pay down for It. We've done pretty well here. as you say, but it's only begin min to what We can do. If we set about it, md don't wait until the cheap land is all gone. don't see why you should go back on me at this time O life, Mary. We've stood together for a long while, and I kinda figured could count on you"
 "So you can, John; so you can to the very last, for anything that is for your own good. but when you set your heart on something that means more trouble and hardship and won't add one iota to your happiness, l think it is my duty to persuade you If can. We've been drifting apart lately; why not let us both go back to the begin ming and start over again, and by kind ness, and fairness. and llberality. and and sympathy, try to recover some thing of what we have losty"
 'I have always thought l had been liberal enough" he said. Didn't build you good house and buy furnl- tlye for It, and do stint you in what you spend, either on the table or your self? More than that. didn't 1 put the title to the homestead in your name? And aint I ready to do the same with the new homestead, If that's the stick. er?'
 ''I never thought of such thing" she protested. And you shouldn't claim too much credit for putting the homestead quarter in my name. You know when you bought the first rail road land you were none too sure how things would come out, and you thought 1t might be wise precaution to have the old farm stand In your wife's name"
 That's all the thanks I get" he said bitterly. Well. I'll take the new one In my own name. but I'll take It just the same. If you don't want to share In 1t you won't have to. But for the present It's your duty to stay here and run things till we get back"

Some of the breeders have adopted the policy of putting a minimum price on the bulls which they have for sale. If the bulls do not sell in reasonable time at this price, then they are cas- trated and good steers are made cut of them. This protects the market and the quality of stock which they arc selling.

The inference is that the farmer who keeps no sheep Is simply throwing away enough pas turage that cows and other live stock do not utilize to net him a neat profit
