MONDAY, DECEMBEK 13, 1«20 Dressing Poultry for Market K considerable proportion of the dressed poultry coustgned to commirsitu houses In large cities brings to the producer a much smaller profit than it would had the same poull.-y oeen dressed and packed for shit>tnent with greater skill. It is of prime importance that the poultry products tic placed on the market in a condition that will make them appear as inviting as possible. Proper feeding for two or three weeks before the fowls are slaughtered will Improve their color materially. In most of the American markets fat fowls with a yellow skin bring the highest price. This condition may be secured most cheaply by feeding a grain ratiot. composed largely of corn, for two or three weeks before the fowls are slaughtered. Of the more common grain foods there is none that excels corn for this purpose. Feed for Young Chickens. Granulated oats (with the hulls re moved) make an excellent food for young cbilckens Tnere is. perl aps, no better grain food for young chickcos than oats prepared m this mannei. It may be fed to good advan tage after the second or third day in connection with the bread sopped li, milk. A good practice is to keep it before them ail the time

Cultivating (lie Orchard. There U nothing that adds to the value of a farm like a well eared for apple orchard. Such farms are not In the market. A young, thrifty, orchard. not old enough to bear, adds to the value of the farm twice ns much as the orchard cost. You cant drive a boy off a farm where there la & good orchard and he will take care of It. The '■harrer.” the hoe, the hand saw and the jackknife, will give new life to an old. half-starved orchard.—Indiana Farmer.

Value of Frequent Inspection. Earth roads shoudl be repaired pais ‘icmarly in the spring and fall of the vear, but the mistake uf letting them lake care of themselves during the balance of the year should not be
Russell steam road roller, built In all cizes ami can be used for rolling loads, crushing stone, sawing wood, thrashing, etc. made. The greatest need of the common road in this country is dally of weekly care. A road receiving daily atte... ion will require no extensive repairs, and, instead of becoming worse, will gradually improve. Rond Cost In Massachusetts. Massachusetts roads are costing all the way from $0,000 to $25,000 per mile. A mile of broken stone road, 15 feet wide, costs In the state of Massachusetts about $6,700 per mile, while a mile of the same width and kino of road costs in the state of New Jersey only $1,700. This is due partly to the fact that the topography of Massachusetts is somewhat tougher than that of New Jersey, necessitating the reduction of many steep grades and the building of expensive retaining •vails and bridges, and partly to the difference In methods of construction and the difference in prices of materials, labor, etc. Varieties of Tires Used. In France the wagons used by the merchants and farmers have wheel tires ranging from three to ten Inches in width, the most usual width being from four to six inches. The large Ircight wagons (four-wheeled» have nres rarely narrower than six inches and the rear axle is about 12 to 14 inches longer than the front axle, so that the rear wheel tracks will lap the tracks made by the front wheels, and so widen the space of roadway rolled by the wheels. Many other fourwheeled vehicles in France are also supplied with axles of varying length In Austria tires for wagons carrying 2\i tons are each 4 1-3 inches la width and those for wagons carrying 4 ’i tons are about 6V6 inches wide. In Bavaria the width of wheel tires is fixed by law.
ITEMS FOR THOUGHT. There is more money in breeding thoroughbred stieep, but grades are goon Turn the sheep in to the weedy and brushy pastures. There is scarcely a weed so eorrse a sheep will not eat it. In breaking the colt to work do not allow him to become fatigued. A little work Is good, hut too much is apt to spoil him. It Is a good time now to put In some crops for the pigs. If the brood sows have good pasture after weaning they will require verv little extra fond. The yearling steers may he turned out with the dairy catttie, or in a lot by themselves The latter Is preferside. Some let feeding steers and thee] run together.

Baya the Horae Moat Go. If the (clentlsti keep on writing now name* la their black-book and •ucceed In exterminating everything they find Is unhealthful, there will aeon be nothing left but human beings—maybe nothing but the scientists. They have slandered nearly every animal from the mosquito to the oyster, and now they say the horse must go. Harold Bolee, writing in Appleton's, says It creates too much dirt and dust and helps to breed disease. It costs New York City $6,000,000 a year for street cleaning, the horse being responsible for much of this total and largely for the $4,000,000 annual hosplt»1 expense, much disease being enused by dirt and dust. "The presence of the horse in New York City," he sryg, "is an economic burden, an affront to cl^anllnesa afid a terrible tax upon human life. The menace of the horse as a creator of dust Is recognized by advanced bacteriologists. Yearly w# lose 20,000 victims of dust. Horses, moreover, attract files and the removal of the former would greatly reduce the billions of files—breeders and distributors of disease.” In addition to making a bad case against the horse on the question of cleanliness and health, he proves It Is a bad Investment on economic grounds. There are 120,000 horses In the city and half of them are emplbyed In business. One commercial auto vehicle. he flguriei. will do the work of from four to six horsea and save $100 a month. The meeus an naDual waste of $18,000,000. All supplies cost 25 per cent, more on account of the cost of hauling, and the cost of city living Is at least ten per cent, per diem more than It should be This means almost $500,000 a day. The writer also objects to the room taken up by horses and their stables, and believes that by eliminating them much space would be gained and the streets relieved of conjestlon. The 120,000 horses In New York City would covef 190 miles in a line. He admits that a sudden transition to the horseless age would necessarily work hardship, but proposes that a law be passed declaring that alter a certain date In the future, say January 1st, 1914, no horses shall he allowed In the city.

HORSE TRADER.
The Depravity of British Society. If we may credit the longest leased wire In the world," there has been formed In England a "cabal of duchesses and other influential titled women” for the purpose of “boycotting Americans in London society.” This piece of news fal • easily Into the category of things important If true. In this connection,. however, may he cited the curious fact that English “society” is unfailingly hospitable to whoever brings tribute to It in the shape of wealth. We permit sheer wealth to cover a world of rottenness In our own country, as witness the New York Four Hundred not to mention our own creamy Fifty-Five—but we don't go quite so far as to adopt all the brewers and patent medicine makers, all the getters of millions without re pcct to who or what they are. Now, In England, the door is tight shut against many sorts and orders of nun and women, but a golden key Invariably unlocks IL Thu new "cabal" will hnnjly shake the western half of the world from the s who are without money have no chance of getting in on any terms even if they should card to do It. while those who have money nnd are willing to pay the piper may snap their fingers at boycotts. British "society," that is, the smarter phase of it, would have a dull time there days without the stimulus mid support it fin is in American money, a fact not creditable to either England or America.— The Argonaut.
Smart Girl Put It Over On Him to the Delight of the Crowd. "I saw a mighty smart young girl sting a horse trader and throw his doctored horse back on him before everyone. She examined the horse closely about the ears for shot, and smelt of the hoofs for turpentine. If a horse is lame through sore feet, thing* can be temporarily fixed by leatlng turpentine and pouring it over the hoofs. For that matter, she went over that horse for all the tricks known. You see. her dad was r. horseman. She took the eyes for blindness, carted the norse to the sun to see him blink, and examined his eyebrows to see if they were triangular or wrinkled Evidently she knew the trick of clearing a blind eye by belladonna or bloodroot. Then she came to the nose and laughed out when she noticed the nostrils had been silt a little In the thin part. Turning to the boy she said, "Give him a drink and run him around, and then we ran see what this horse has \ got. When he came back I noticed j signs of heaves, and. sure enough, that was what the horse had to a high degree. Everybody gave the dealer the laugh to think that a girl , could beat him.’’—Farm and Fireside. I l
A DEMOCRATIC KING.
The Fine Common Sente of Albert of Belgium. When King Albert of Belgium visited Baris tn 1910 It was noted that In his speech at the Elysee he referred to the Belgians as "my compatriots," not "my subjects" This way of specking Is typical of one who delights above all things In being democratic. Not long before his accession the king and his wife went for a prolonged ramble round Belgium. studying provincial and local peculiarities and maintaining the strictest Incognito throughout their Journey. They lived In Inns the life of the common people and did not disdain the rough resorts of fishermen and sailors. Their experience proved so favorable that the king and queen have repeated It more than oru^, and It may be safely asserted that the knowledge thus gained by them of their “compatriots” Is with out a parallel In the lives of European monarehs.

Work the Only Way. In England the war has brought to poverty a large number of persons who were formerly well to do Their tragedy Is the result of a calamity that no one could foresee. No par ent can be certain that his children may not some day come to poverty. There Is no guarantee against it. The best Insurance Is to teach them to work. Probably the best asset nny youth can have Is the ability to cultivate the soil. That Is the most permanent and universal of trades. How to Whiten Linen.
