Indrawn Poultry.
We have been wondering for a longtime
mat can induce the people of cities to
bay undrawn poultry, when common
tense teaches that they pay for much that
Mould not even be allowed to come near
me market, and wnen common taste must
revolt at the very thought of its two or
toree days contact with the line fat fowls
nn our tables. We have heard it said of
French cooks that they kill and hang up
o.vls undrawn for several days or a week
Wore they consider them palatable, but
wuether this tale is true or false, we do
cut covet the taste or fashion that can
r.vel in the fragrance of putrefaction. We
ire glad to see that the subject is begin
c.ng to attract some attention abroad, and
in; copy the following from a writer in
liic Philadelphia Record in the hope that
ii may banish from our home market the
dangling columns of putted up undrawn
poultry one encounters on every visita
tion:
‘•1 cau assure vou,” says the writer,

setter than quote trom Marion Harland’s

while saying in some other cities where I
tuve visited outside of Philadelphia it
would he considered disgusting tooifer un
iressed fowls to purchasers:
“ ‘Poultry should never be eaten in less
Ilian six or eight hours after it Is killed,
but it should he picked and drawn as soon
as possible. There is no direr disgrace to
iiur Northern markets than the practice o!
tending whole dead fowls to market. I
bare bought such from responsible poul
try thalers, and found tbem uneatable
from having remained undrawn until the
Savor of the craw and intestines had im
pregnated the whole body. Those who

Wonderful Yield of Onions.
Along the borders of Lake Erie, in
Hhio, says the Michigan Horticulturist ,
urge tracts of swamps have been re
tiaimed and are yearly cropped with
Hiiniis. By a system of open ditches the

ticept in very rainy seasons, the produc

bushels per acre, and this with but very
little manure. On some larms, by means

It kills out the weed seed sand thus reduces

Care of Horses.
Scratches, grease heel and all similar
complications come directly from not tak
ing proper care ot horse’s feet and limbs.
Farm horses most especially are allowed
to stand too long alter usage with the
mud adhering to them. This, though, is
no more prevalent than allowing horses to
stand ui unclean stables, where the man
ure Is not thrown out more than once a
week. The ammonia arising from the
fermenting manure is not only injurious
to the general health of the animals, but
is one of the most prolific causes of
grease heel, cracked quarters, etc. Tho
stable should be cleaned night and morn
ing ,and the horses should not be al
lowed to stand in their dirt any longer
than necessary for the mud and sweat to
dry.
Dickson's Agricultural Proverbs and
Observations.
All acknowledge tho importance of
turning under green crops for the ammo,
nia. I have made money by giving my
laud one year iu four to gather ammonia
and humus. Ammonia is the foundation
of English agriculture.
W ith a little ammonia wo can gather
large amounts every year, anil put it at
compound interest.
I believe in natural laws, sturdy na
ture; trace all things irom cause to effect
and from effect to cause.
There are just as many ways to improve
land as there are to w aste it.
Nature helps to waste, and helps to re
store and return.
Providence intended the earth to im
prove in fertility as it increases in popu
lation.
The richer you make the land the more
plant food you can draw from the atmos
phere.
It the guano comes In contact with the
seed the farmer will have a bad stand.
Rotation—First, rest; second, cotton;
third, corn; fourth, make grain; then
rest. Cotton after rest: corn after cot
ton;sma!l grain alter corn, aud rest after
srn ill grain.
Every thing made on the farm, after it
is used or eaten, except the lint of cotton,
must be returned to the land.
All vegetable matter placed on you r
fields may, in due time, be made to
turn to corn, cotton, or other field pro
ducts.
Handle manure as lightly as possible,
but handle a good deal ot it. Manure
loses every time it is turned over and
piled.
Of all manures ammonia is the cheapest
and bestcropgrower,auddoes notexhaust
tho lands.
The best time to break land for plant
ing corn is ten days before planting,
but the rule is, commence in time to
break it.
In about one year in seven, fall plowing
is the best for the crop, and improvement
of the land.
When the winter is warm and the rains
abundant, late plowing is best by 25 per
cent, in the crop.
Land must be well broken before
planting. Commence in time to do it, but
the later done (in this latitude) tho bet
ter for the land.
Plant corn Irom the 10th of March to
the Ist of April.
A man only gains bard work, and more
of it, by very early planting.
Lay off corn rows 7 feet apart,with a long
shovel, and open out the furrows with a
longer shove).
The corn row should stand open 8 inches
deep.
Drop the manure 3 feet in the bottom of
the furrow.
Drop the corn within 3 or 1 inenes of the
manure, on the near side of the manure,
as the dropper goes.
Cover with a harrow, l]4 inch deep,
the harrow going the same way the drop
per goes.
First plowing use 22-inch wing sweep,
tho right wing turned down a little, four
turrows to a row.
Second plowing use same sweep with
right wing more elevated. Split middles
with same, both wings up; five iurrowsto
a row.
Tuird plowing side the corn with 2'2-inch
sweep; the peas with a 2b-inch sweep; sid
ing the corn first, then the peas.
From Ist to 20th June plant peas. Run
shovel furrow in the middle. Drop six to
eight peas every two feet and cover with
harrow.
Mr. Dickson first used Peruvian guano
in 1846. He was the first man in Georgia
who used it.
[Now, 1886. Georgia farmers use more
than a hundred brands of commercial
lerlilizers, and call them all guano.
Stern’s superphosphate, manufactured in
New Orleans, is called guano in Georgia.

In answer to a correspondent who wants
to know how to kill grubs, or wolves, in
the backs of cattle, an exchange says: in
an exhaustive report made by a scientist
and entomologist to the Royal Agricultu
ral Society ol Great Britain, a great num
ber of remedies for the destruction of
these grubs was named, the one preferred
by many stockmen being to rub into each
grub bole ft piece of common mercurial
ointment as large us a buckshot. The
dose kills the worm in a day or two; in the
course ot a week it Is cast out, and in a
week or ten days more tho orifice is closed
and the wound healed. *
Although it is a good plan lo put sugar
in cauned fruit at time of sealing, it is
not necessary to keep it from spoiling.
The essential thing is to exclude the air.
Where this is not done the fruit will turn
sour, and the additional sugar will only
make the vinous fermentation more active
and thorough. Tho cans should be ex
amined frequently, but without being
much bandied. Any that show loose eov
ersor any mould on the top should be used
before spoiling further.
Keeping account of things, knowing
what yon make and what you spend,
breeds habits of thrift, very essential to
success. If you have it down in figures
vou can lake pride in what you make or
be appalled at what you spend, both of
which states of mind are prone to culti
vate a proper regard for money and prop
erty.
FARM AM) STOCK NOTES.
Peter Tumbledown bought a flask of
whisky and a box of cigars and posted
off to urge tbo passage of a law to make
money plenty and times easy. When lie

pigs' trough leaked, and rats were colo
nizing in the corn crib. He tailed to get
the law passed and his bills are not yet

Although the manure heap may bo
larne, vet hulk dons not constitute nutri
tious elements. It Is sometimes costly to
haul worthless manure. That which has
been washed by rain, due to exposure, is
injured in quality. Such substances as
straw or crushed corn-stalks should be
used for absorbing liquids before being
added to the heap.

The famous system of rotation, now
quite general throughout England and
Scotland, with occasional modification, is
as follows: The first year, clover and
mixed grass seed: the second year, wheat;
the third year turnips or rutabagas; the
fourth year, barley, and then the same
course again. Another innovation Is to
add another grain crop, oats, making a
five years’ course, and so etiioient has
this course been that it is calculated that
the grain crops have increased one

Turkeys and chickens dry picked sell to
a limited extent in the market very well,
but none except the choicest kind should
be dressed in that way. When they are,
they should be packed immediately after
killing and while warm, and not put into
water either before or after picking, but
hang up till the animal heat, is entirely
out, before packing for shipment. Ducks
and geese should always be scalded and
steamed by covering up with blanket for
a short time beloru picking; in other
respects hantllo them as turkeys aud
chickens.

In order to render glue insoluble in
water,even hot waiter, it is only necessa
ry, when dissolving glue for use, to add a
little potassium bichromate to the water
and expose the glued part to the light.
The bichromate will vary with circum
stances; but tor the most purposes about
one-fiftieth of the amount of glue will suf

Scalloped Tomatoes.—Strain most ol
the liquor from a can of tomatoes, butter
a eake dish, spread a layer of the toma
toes in the bottom, season* with bits of but
ter, salt, peppers and sugars and a few
shreds of onion. Cover the layer with tine
bread crumbs, put over it another of to
matoes anil seasoning and so on, until the
dish Is full. Tho top should be a stratum
of seasoned crumbs. Set in the oven, cov
ered, and bake, removing the lid 10
niinules before taking it out, that it
may brown delicately.
Julienne Soup.—This favorite vegeta
ble soup is made as follows: Divide two
medium-sized carrots in two, then cut into
very thin slices of about an inch long;
take the same quantity of turnips, leeks,
onions and a few pieces of celery, ail cut
into thin slices, and put them into a
saucepan, with a piece of good butter, on
a gentle fire; stir gently until tne vegeta
bles begin to color slightly; add 3 pints of
consomme or soup stock and boil gently
one hour. Ten minutes before serving
put in 3or 4 leaves of lettuce, the same
of sorrel and a little chervil chopped up;
boil a little longer, add a pinch ol sugar
and a teaspoontul of green peas previous
ly boiled.
How to Preserve Milk.—Pour the
mile into a bottle, and place the vessel up
to its neck in a saucepanful ol water
wbichisthen to lie put on the tire and al
lowed to boil for a quarter of an hour. The
bottle is now to be removed from the
water and carefully closed with a good
and tight-fitting cork, so as to render it as
airtightas possible. Milk which has been
preserved by this process has been Kept
for more than a year without turning
sour. Milk may also be preserved by put
ting a tablespoonful ol horse radish,
scraped in shreds, into a panful of milk.
When milk thus treated is kept in a cool
place, it will lie found to keep good for sev
eral days, evep in hot weather.
Use ok the Napkin.— The law of the
napkin is but vaguely understood. One
ol nur esteemed metropolitan contempo
raries informs an eager inquirer that it is
bad form to (old the napkin alter dinner;
thai the proper thing is to throw it with
negligent disregard on the table beside
the piale, as to fold it would lie a reflec
tion on the host, and imply a familiarity
that would not betit an invited guest. But
the thoughtful reader will agree w ith us
that this studied disorder is likely to be
a good deni more trying to a iasiiilious
hostess than an unstudied replacing of
the napkin in good order beside tne visi
tor’s [date. The proper thing is to fold
the fabric with unostentatious care and
lay itou the left side of the plate, tar from
the liquids and coffee, and thus testify to
the hostess that her care in preparing the
table has been appreciated.
A Few Facts About Cake.— There is
quite as good judgment required to bake
cake well. Have moderate beat for ordi
nary cake, though sponge cake requires a
quick oven, amleake containing molasses
should have a slow one.* Set a dish ot
water in the oven with cake when bak
ing, and It seldom sfrorcV-s. Closely
watch the ovens, keepijiTt’Gie tire ns even
as possible, by using tbfe various drafts of
the stove or range. Do not try to do other
cooking meantime, for if tins is not.
“worth doing well,” it is not worth doing
at ail.
W hen cold, put away dajee in a tin box,
closely covered. t.
Two apples kept in the box with it. will
keep (moderately rich) cake nuust lor
years, by renewing tbe apples when they
become shrivelled.
For a tempting, presentable dish of
cake for the table, have a variety ol clean
out, medium-sired sltces, of different
shades of color, and laid On without ap
parent order and the effect is good. Dai k
(ruit cake, angel cake, yellow pound
cake, and ladies’ cake make a fair combi
nation.
A dish of small cakes is often appetiz
ing, when tbe above kinds are not cared
tor; such ns inaccaroons, kissea, choco
late cakes, aud sponge cakes, or ladies’
lingers.

DID BHK SINK THE OREGON.
Wreckage of h Schooner Washed
Ashore at Eatthainplon. L. 1.
From the Xsto York World.
A portion of tho wreck of a large
schooner floated ashoreon the Long Island
coast, about two miles wist of Georgiea
life-saving station, near Kastbampton,
Monday night. The wreckage comprise)!
a part of tbo vessel’s broadside and rail,
broken Irom her lengthwise down to her
lower deck. There was nothing on the
wreck to indicate her name or identity,
but she was probably about 150 foot long.
From the appearance of the wreck she
was evidently a coaler. It was thought
that the wreckage was a portion of the
vessel which, it is supposed, sunk tho Or
egon oil Centre Moriches, but there is
nothing to substantiate this theory.
There is nothing to identify the wreckage
with the Charles H. Morse, the schooner
w hich is missing and wdiich is supposed
to have sunk the Oregon.
Mr. Ellison Bishop, the agent of the
Merritt Wrecking Company, scouted the
idea of the wreckage having any connec
tion with the Oregon disaster. Georgiea
life station is thirty miles east of the point
where the Oregon was struck, and owing
to the prevalence ol westerly currents any
wreckage from the ceUieioii would have
bceu driven westward. The probabilities
are that it is part* of'the wreck ol the
schooner Lizzie M. Dunn, which went
ashore on Moniauk I’oint several weeks
ago and which has a nee gone to pieces.
Capt. Conklinsr, of the Georgiea life sta
tion, will make a misute investigation of
the wreck this morning to see whether he
can find any means i#r the identification
of the vessel.
Lightsntp Nn. 20 bus been placed In

ship is schooner-rigged, with day marks,
and will show a red and white light. She
