Women and Poultry Dressing. Among the newest avocationa which the country women has taken up is dressing poultry for the market, and a. very profit- able one it has proved in some instances. At this season of the year live fowis are i being disposed of in large quantities by very one who raises poultry. to make to m for the growing pullets who are to bee me the winter layers. A few dealers mev caponize the cockerele and keep them till e rly spring, but by far the larger numb r will find their way into the markets betw en now and New Year's day. anagement 0f Heifers. Probe. ly one of the most common and expensiv blunders made on the farm is in the management of the heifer, writes a corâ€" espondent.‘ Many well bred cows turn ut to be veilitable scrubs simply because they were new properly developed in to cowhood. It fiis common to give little attention to ciows, young or old, about to calve. A heif’ler should be well fed before calving. First, because there is a. greater demand made on the system; second. the heavy feeding of a ration rich in protein will ouusea. much greater growth of the ud. der. Here is the fatal point. There is no danger from fever when fed up to calving time if such food as brsn,clover, hay, silage and the like are USed. It is corn that does mostof the mischief. The cases are very rare where any attempt at milking should be done up to time of calving The udder should be made to grow as allege as possible. The blood being filled with milk-producing elements seems to cause a gfifatgrowth ofthe glands end udder. A tervcslvmg, put the calf in a stall ad- joinin a the mother. Milk a half gallon and ' the mother. John Gould first gave hint and Ifind it works admirably. Cows t at will not drink milk or slop will drink t is, seemingly as nature’s remedy. Never a low the calf to follow the cow, as it keep the udder milked out, and disten- tion is revented. Feed very light on hay and a ll ttle bran for a few days, gradually comin to full feed in a week. There is no damger of fever with the first calf, it is said." I have never seen a case. I think it ' not necessary to mention warm stables, for hose who would profit by this will have them,but $3 invested in building paper for li ing stables will pay more than 100 per m nt. profit in milk returns. Those who an not take so much trouble to de- velop the milking qualities 0‘ the heifer woul better have her come in in the spring that 3 he may be supplied with abundance of pro per food. This is just the opposite 6f rely practice, but I say for those who wil'fl not give the best care to the heifer in ‘fell or winter they should not. allow her to \come fresh at that time. This is the only means of maintaining or raising the stan- dard of good cows. moved further in toward the middle of the barnâ€"n. plan that can be followed when building a barn and quite easily followed when remodeling an old barn. Such an arrangement makes the wide driving floor through the entire centre of the barn im- possible, but such a. wide and long feeding and driving floor is really a waste of very valuable space. With a. hay fork itisnolong- er necessary to drive the hay-rack so that one can pitch hey from it into any part of the barn. The protection of the manure from the weather is of the h1ghestimportence,â€"im importance, unfortunately, too little realiz- ed. The manure pile is the meinspring of e farm, and a very weak mainspring when two thirds of its value has lenched out and disap peared down some brook or river. Tl e lire birds can be bought; at prices ch. will efiord & nice margin of profit; when dressed. The loss on the bird in dressing is not heavy, averaging only about one half 9. pound for e five-pound bird, as the heads, feet. nnd intestines are not re- moved tor market at this season. If the birds are free from pinfeethers, or com- paratively so, an expert picker will prepare four birds an hour. The feathers will sell for about; ten cents per ponnd,if not assort- ed. If care is taken in asserting them a much better price may be obtained for the choice ones. There is nolhing whatever in this work that a. woman may not, easily do. The price paid for picking varies in difierenb locali- ties, but, avezages about fifteen cents per pair. Young women may be hired to assist at, this rate and a. fair profit made on their work, or they may be hired to do the pin- ubhering by the hour. Poultry should be th oughly cold before being packed, and the packed neatly and so closely as not, no jar ix the box or barrel during transports- tion. \The paper used in packing poultry should be What is known among produce dealers as butler paper.

Ho» one farmer keeps his manure out of the way of rains and melting snows, and yet has it perfectly accessible for hauling to the fields, is shown in our illustration. It may not be the best plan, but the very best plan is not always among the possibilities on the average farm. The cattle stalls are simply AfiRECUHURAL MANURE Pip and its Treatment. This formerly much dreaded complaint is rapidly dying out. But few cases are now heard of, while but a few years ago it was quite common. It is caused by a. dry, scaly substance on the tongues of the fowla, which soon spreads to the air-passage, causing heavy breathing and frequent sneez- ingâ€"from which comes the name. A good remedy is to apply chloride of lime to the tongue daily, but, we doubt the advisability of removing the scale. Two or three grains of black pepper in the shape of a but/mar pill is also very good. Some recommend spongie. Probably warm, dry quarters will do as much good as anything. [and see that propar rations are givon. ‘ Eqqu puts of wheat, oats and com makes a iairly milk ration. If a. small hoot ration can be added, the yield of milk will be more satisfacwry as a mic. Shelter the animals from the coid and web by batten- ing the cracks or lining the stable with barred paper. Make a good article of but,â€" ter, pub in up in attractive shape and brand it so that, it may be easily recognized. Carefully Investigated by The Can- ada Farmers’ Sun. Miss Koesler and Her Parents Endorse the Statements Contained In the Open Leilerâ€"Thc Doctor's Action in Malling the Facts Public Fully Justified. From The Farmers'Sun. In view of the corroboration by Miss Koester and her parents of the statements made in Dr. Evans' letter, all doubts in the matter must be set: at rest. and the doctor's action in giving the {acts of this remarkable case to the public is fully justified.

In order to be able to keep his vow he has been compelled to construct a. kind of hanging mat for his back and shoulders in which he hangs the livelong day reciting his penitential chants and prayers. Thus he sleeps at night, and in this positlon he must also eat and dnnk, as he has growu too weak to either walk or stand. In an open letter published in The Can- ada Farmers’ Sun of Sept. 19 over the signature of Dr. Evans, of Elmwood, at.- tentlon was called to the remarkable case of Miss Christina Koester, of North Brant, who was attended by the doctor in March, 1892, when suffering from inflammation of the left; long, which subsequently develop- ed all the signs of consumption. In June of the same year she wasted to a skeleton, and was sufiering from an intense cough with profuse expectoration of putrid mat- ter, accompanied by hectic lever. Her recovery was despaired of until Dr. Evans, at sstsge when other remedies had proved valueless, administered Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. Within a week the symptoms had abated, and a. month after the change of medicine Miss Koester was able to drive to Elmwood, a distance of six miles, and was in good health, except for the weak- ness occasioned by so long an illness. An interview with Christine Koester,her famher and mother, was held at the home- stead in the Township of North Brent. Miss Koesterise well developed, hezlthy looking girl of eighteen years of age. She stated that- she was now in the enjoyment of perfect health and able to do her part, in the labors of the farm, and had not since her cure had any recurrence of her former trouble. Tado Koester, father of Christina, said that the statement, as published in Dr. Evans’ open letter as to his daughter’s recovery, was correct. She was first ta.an sick about the 15th of March, 1893, of inflammation of the left lung. and after treatment by Dr. Evans seemed to recover after about two weeks, but again relapsed with the apparently hopeless conditions described in the letter. She was terribly Wasted. Every night she coughed up a large bowlful of fetid matter. The family had completely given up all hopes of her recovery, and for two nights sat up with her expecting that she would die. After beginning the Pink Pills a. change for the better was speedily noticeable. The cough began to discontinue and in one month had entirely ceased, when, as stated in the doctor's letter she was sufficiently recover- ed to drive to Elmwood. She continued taking the pills until October. Christina had been quite well since and this fall had been pitching sheaves and helping in the harvest field. A clothes-washing contest; was a. novel attraction at a colored church picnic at Westminster, Md. recently. The publication of the doctor’s state- ment, of which the above is a condensa- tion, created considerable interest, espe- cially when it was rumored that Dr. Evans was likely to be disciplined by the Medical Council for his action in certifying to the efiicacy of an advertised remedy. A rep- resentaiive of the Canada. Farmers’ Sun was commissioned to carefully investigate the matter and ascertain how iarjthe doctor’s statements were corroborated by the patient’s family. DR EVANS’ OPEN LETTER A Vow Never to Lie Down. Trian are reported to have been made at London, Eng” with a. new apparatus for the extraction of teeth by electricity. It consists of an inductive mil of extremely fine Wire, having an interrupter thatcan vibrate at the rate of fifty times a second. The patient sits in the traditional arm chair and takes the negative electrode in his left hand, and the positive in his right. At this moment the operator turns on a current whose intensity is gradually increued until it has attained the utmost limit that the patient can support. The extractor is then put in circuit and fastened on the tooth, which. under the action of the vibrations, is loosened at once. The operation is per- formed very quickly, and the patient feels no other sensation then the pricking pro- duced in the hands and forearms by the» passage of the current. Numbers of stones have been found at Corrina, Tasmania. which have been proved to be diamonds. There is much excitement. over the discovery.
