dressed poultry con signed to commission houses in largo cities sells low because the carcasses are not dressed and packed with skill it is of prime importance that the poultry products be placed on the market in a condition that will make them appear as inviting as possible it is not enough to turn out superior goods much is lost if they are not marketed in the most careful manner the poultryman who receives the highest quotations for his product throughout the year is the one who studies how when and where to market ha learns that during cer tain months in the year there is s shortage of different kinds of poultry products and he plans to produce as large a quantity as possible of these products during tho season of scant supply he then ascertains in which markets he can dispose of these goods to best advantage and prepares and packs them according to the require ments of those markets the package sells the goods the old style of shipping dressed poultry in barrels and large packing- boxes is not used by the presentday poultryman the most popular pack age today for dressed poultry is the box holding- one dozen carcasses these boxes aro made in definite sizes to contain similarsized birds but in packing them for shipment it is nec essary to see that the birds fit tight also they may become bruised and poil in the journey the boxes should be lined with parchkrient paper and for fancy qual ity each bird should be wrapped in the paper before befng placed in the box the carton system is used for spe cial trade a carton six inches high six inches wide and eleven inches long will hold a five or sixpound roaster or two broilers if the birds aro nicely wrapped in parchment pa per they open satisfactorily at the end of the journey something to sell every day the

something to make those girls feel bad and she intended to do it the paper dolls 1 lightly she ran across the back yard and down a side street to janes playhouse she knew just where every thing was she picked up a box of colored papers that she had decided to burn or tear or spoil in some way but when sho took the cover off the box a scrap of white paper fluttered to the floor she thought it was a paperdoll dress and stooped to pick it up but then she saw that it was a note be sure to be on time it said wont it be a lark mrs cummins said the rest was torn off mrs cummins that was phylliss

rains and chilly winds the cutter enables us to keep the cut- which give unprotected poultry many ter working continuously colds it is a satisfaction to have the our silo filling on each farm runs birds busily scratching in clean straw from sixty to eighty tons with the usual farm chores and a thirteeninch cutter we find this a nice days work usually we dont work until dark wo want to keep the farm chores up and do them nearly on time that is as much our business as the silo filling and it is as seasonable too i found last fall that if the unloading man will slip off some extra bundles and throw them back of the feeder when there is a little time this serves as a reserve easier saving do you believe in daylight saving well yes its easier saving by day light than after tho cabaret light is turned on forty thousand tons of tobacco are smoked in the united kingdom every year how to get better prices for comb honey by d c gilham do you know why so many beekeep ers howl about low prices and poor market for honey ill tell you it is because of carelessness in producing or handling the honey for instance i have seen beekeep ers place sections in supers thatwero not meant for that particular type of section result the sections were diamondshaped instead of square another thing that detracts from the appearance of combhoney is tho ket price oh account of the neglect in packing and in the handling of combhoney many a section is cracked or a hole is punched in it if the merchant buys he soon has a sticky messy pile of goods to dispose of and is disgusted with tho handling of combhoney carelessness in handling i havo found it is not always tho fault of the producer many clerks are careless in one instance where i had delivered an order of comb- presence of propolis the glue used by honey one of the clerks dropped a bees for filling cracks on the sections this is not hard to get off if you take proper precautions tho best way to proceed is to coat tho tops of the sections in the supers that aro expos ed to the bees with a thin coating of paraffin do this beforo placing tho father presiding at breakfast table asked william aged three if he would z v like an egg yes daddy one with a then when the empty wagon moves out the feeder can keep the cutter plugging away we have constructed a detachable feeding table on our cutter about four feet wide and six feet long throwing the bundles on this table prevents get ting them mixed and enables the feed er to keep an even flow of corn in the cutter all the time there is always a supply of one or two bundles ready to use we have found that an extra team doesnt hurt anything when filling let the wagon stand loaded then when someone comes in too slowly take a man out of the silo and run this wagonload through last year i tried to use one man in tho silo at first two a little later and then three near the top and when finishing i had four men tramping i figured that the bottom of the silo would be packed pretty well with the weight from the top in feeding out i am having a little trouble with small moldy spots around lower doors i wonder if this is because of the ono light in please said
