If flat turnips are sown among the growing crops of corn or other crops at the last hoea'ng in July or Augufit they will get a foothold so as to grow rapidly when the shading crops are removed. Before frost comes many of them will have grown large enough to have become flit for table use, while the others may be plowed index as green manure, or they may even be left to freeze and rot where; a young head, 0! new variety prob- ;ably upon the old shoulders. By graft- ling, old and hitherto useless trees have been made good bearers by the 'judicious selection, and affixing of a 'newer or probably tried variety, the ' old tree being merely pruned back and ! used as a stock. As soon as growth begins to be apparent, and sap has started to rise and descend, grafting should be commenced. Apple and pear trees are mostly grafted, while cher-l ry and plum are more generally bud- ded. Some varieties of pears are pe- culiar in this that one graft or work- ing is not enough; they refuse to grow satisfactorily unless a previous graft has been made between the stock and a scion, they themselves being then grafted on to the first scion once it has taken hold of the primary stock. There are thus two grafts, the tOP Graft, the intermediate scion, and the fundamental stock. What calls up such complexity is a matter of great interest, but puzzling to the ordinary practical man. Grafting at one time was almost exclusively the art of nurserymen, men who raised trees by the thousand for sale. But this no longer is a trade “ patent.” The active gardener, with his eyes open, and who follows the signs of the times perceives it to his advantage to prune back many a good old orchard tree and to place Dry-picked chickens and turkeys sell best, and we advise this way of dressâ€" ing, as they sell better to shippers; scalded chickens and turkeys gener- ally are sold to the local trade. As we have said, to dry-pick chickens and turkeys properly the work should be done while the bird is bleeding; do not wait and let the bodies get cold; dry- picking is more easily done while the bodies are warm. Be careful and do not break and tear the skin. , Pack in boxes or barrels, boxes hold- inlg 100 or 200 pounds are preferable, and pack snugly; straighten out the body and legs so that they will not arrive very much bent and twisted out of shape; fill the package as full: as possible. The process of plumping and cooling is the same as with turkeys and chick- ens. There is no kind of poultry: harder to sell in this market at sat- isfactory prices than poor, slovenly‘ (l at low prices. No poultry of anyf kind sent to this market should be‘ drawn. Do not pick the feathers off the head, and it is well to leave them on the neck, close to the head, for a space or two or three inches. The feet should not be skinned, nor the bodies singed for the purpose of removing any down or hair as the heat from the flame will cause them to look oily and bald. a very good way of dressing ducks and geeese, especially geese. After they are picked clean they should be held in scalding water about 10 sec- onds for the purpose of plumping them, and then rinsed‘in clean; cold water. be lecft in this oondition long enough} to cook the flesh. Another good way; to remove the down is to rub thei feathers with powdered resin beforef the bird is scalded and then the down? comes off with the resin, which makes? Pick the legs d'ry beflore scalding; hold the fowl by the head and legs and immerse; then lift up and down three times; if the head is immersed it turns the color otf the comb and gives the eyes a shrunken appear- ance, which lead buyers to think the fowl has been sick. The feathers and pin-feathers should be removed imme- diately, very cleanly and without breaking the skin. ing. w..., we. was] easily, out it they are picked before they are killed, it leaves the skin so inflamed that the stock will not bring a good price. After the feathers which are to be saved are takeh ogff, t'he geese and ducks should be scalded in water as near the boil- ing point as possible without boil- Ducks and geese should be killed by bleeding in the mouth or opening the veins of the neck. Hang by the feet until properly bled. Never pick just before killing in order to save the fea- thers. The feathers should be taken off after they are killed, before they get cold, in other words, while they are bleeding, as at that time they come out very easily, but if they are GRAFTIN G FRUIT TREES An ingenious German has devised a method of plucking fowls. The dead bird is placed in a receptacle and sub- jected to several cross currents of air from electric fans turning at the rate of 5,000 revolutions a minute. The bird has every feather and quill blown off it in an incredibly short space of time One of the best ways of feeding is to wet up with sweet milk, taking care only to mix what is fed at once in With little fowl eSpecially it is very important that the food supplied be sweet, sound and nutritious. I ' fi 4 «Put if»: ,‘.§ff'- Oat meal is a splendid food for growing chickens, as it supplies the elements needed for the growth and development of bone and flesh. ; One advantage with dairying is that ' all things considered, it is not as ex-; Ihaustive of fertility as some otheri lines of farming. This is especially! the case when the cream only is sold and the skim milk is fed upon the; farm. But even when the whole milk ! is sold there is not as great a loss? as many suppose. In 2,000 quartsuâ€"org 4,300 pounds of milk sold only 22' in this a considerable amount of good ‘ fertilizing material is returned to the amount given. f .of hot air. The dried substance is I packed and salted, and when required ‘for use can be dissolved in cold wa- ter and beaten up like fresh eggs. But this process, I do not deem prac- tical for general use, but may answer well where long journeys are to be taken, for in this way they can be the soil from washing. Or they might 3 be plowed under early enough to al-3 low of sowing rye as a cover crop.l -.'We do not think they enrich the soil 3 as much where they freeze and rot! in the ground as when plowed in, but the difference is not very great. Nor are they as valuable as clover for siderable value, the seed costs but a! trifle and the labor is not much. If! this is done, corn may be planted3 again where corn has grown thief year if desirable, as corn is of the! grass family and may be grown many years in succession upon the same soil it the fertility is kept up.
