Irln nil Shipping Poultry. Price & Keith, commission mr chants, sand us the following article on dreaming and shipping poultry for the Chicago market: In the first place, poultry should be kPt without food twenty-four hour; full crop Injure the appearance and re liable to sour, and when thin does occur, correspondingly lower price must be accepted than obtainable for choice atock. Novor kill poultry by wringing the neck. To Drew Chicken. Kill by bleeding In the mouth or opening tho veins of the tieck; hung by tho feet until prop erly bled, Isave head and feet on, and do not remove Intestines nor crop. Hcaldcd chicken sell bent to home trade, and dry picked beat to shippers, so that cither manner of dressing will lo If properly executed, but an there ') but very few outride ordere re ceived for chickens until after the first of the year, we would advlHe shippers to scald their thickens until after the holidays. For scalding chickens, the water should be as near boiling point as possible-, without boiling; pick the leg dry before scalding; hold by the bend and legs and Immerse and lift up and down three times; if the head Is Immersed It turns the color of the comb and gives the eyes a shrunken ap pearance, which leads buyers to think the fowl has been sick: the feathers and pin feathers should then be re moved very cleanly, and without breaking the skin; then "plump," by dipping ten seconds In water nearly or , quite boiling hot, and then Immediate ly Into cold water; hang In a cool place until the animal heat Is entirely out of the body, To dry pick chick ens properly, the work should be done while the chickens are bleeding; do not wait and let tho bodies get cold. Dry picking Is much more easily done while the bodies are warm, lie care ful and do not break and tear the skin. To Dress Turkeys, Observe the same instructions as given for picking chickens, but always dry pick. Dressed turkeys, when dry picked, always sell best and command better prices than scalded lots, as the appearance Is brighter and more attractive, En deavor to market all old and heavy gobblers before January 1, as after the holidays the demand is for small fat hen turkeys only, old toms being sold at a discount to canners. Ducks and Oecse. should be scalded in the same temparaturo of water as for other kinds of poultry, but it re quires more time for the water to pen etrate and loosen the feathers, Borne parties advise, after scalding, to wrap them In a blanket for the purpose of steaming, but they must riot be left in this condition long enough to cook the flesh. Do not undertake to dry pick geese and ducks just before kill ing, for the purpose of saving the feathers, as it causes them to bocome very much inflamed, and is a great in jury to the sale. Do not pick the feathers off the head; leave tho feath ers on for two or three inches on the neck. Do not singe the bodies for the purpose of removing any down or balr, as the heat from the flame will give them an oily and unsightly ap pearance. After they are picked clean they should be held in scalding water about ten seconds for the purpose of plumping, and then rinsed off in clean cold water. Fat heavy stock is al ways preferred, Ilefore packing and shipping, poul try should be thoroughly dry and cold, but not frozen; the animal heat should be entirely out of tho body; pack In boxes or barrels; boxes holding 100 to 200 pounds are preferable, and pack snugly; straighten out the body and legs, so thut they will not arrlvo very nniHlt bent and twisted out of shape; fill the packages full as possible to prevent moving about on the way; barrels answer better for chickens and ducks tliuu for turkeys or geeae; when convenient, avoid putting more thHn one kind la a packae; mark kind and weight of each description on the package and mark shipping directions plainly on the rover.

Own mod BuU 6o Horn and He Largs Landed Katete. The announcement that Queen Vic toria Is to leave, by will, Osborne house to one daughter and Balmoral, th royal residence in the highlands, to th. duke of Counaught, recalls the fact that tho tunn who would devour this particular widow's houses must make an uncommonly full meal, says an ex change, It was discovered a few weeks since that the queen owned COO houses in various parts of England, not royal residences, but rent-yielding property and that about 6,000 housis had been built by crown lessees an building leaseholds by the queen. She then had also rent from markets and tolls from ferries, besides the proceeds from mines and other works upon her 'property or the crown property, Bhe has large estates In Yorkshire, Oxfordshire and Perks, valuable lands in the lisle of Man and Aldeniey, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, Of the New Forest there are 2,000 acres of absolute and sixty three acres of contingent crown prop erty, Her mnjnnfy enjoys income from several other forents and from rich properties In and about London. Osborne, on tho Isle of Wight, and Dalmoral, in the highlands, ere the private property of tho queen and are maintained out of her own Income, Hut she tins the use of a few royal palaces besides, and these are maintained by the nation at an annual vxpcndituri runglng from 2,r00 to $."0,ooj, Tho queen Is in the occupancy of Bucking ham palace, Windsor castlo, the white lodge at Klchmoiid park and part of Ht James' pitldce, Tho remainder of the last-named pnlneo is occupied by other member of the royal family, Other royal paluccs maintain d as such, though not in the occupancy of the queen, are Kbnidngton palace, llamp ion court, wnicn, according to a re cent estimate based on the statistics of eight or ten years, costs the nation on the average of over $70,000 a year; Kew palace, Pembroke lodge, the thatched cottage and 8heen cottage, Richmond park; Hushy house, in Mushy park, and Jlolyrood palace, NOT MULTIPLYING RAPIDLY, 111 Seminole Indian In Klnrlile Have Sir lut Law Ahnat Merrleee. Dr. J. K. Urecht, superintendent of the Florida Indians, with headquarters at Fort Myers, arrived in the city yes terday from Tallahassee, his mission there being to purchase lands with the appropriation of $3,000 now annually set apart by the general government for the Hemlnoles, says the Florida Times-Union. Heretofore the Senil noles have been homeless, so far as Ownership of land Is concerned. The doctor has located and surveyod all of their habitations and his endeavor now Is to pursue the work of securing deeds in the names of the individual owners, "The Indians," says vr. Urecht, "are not multiplying rapidly. This is due to physiological and social reasons. Rtlll there has been on increase, In 18&$ there were but 112. Now Uiere are something over COO, Tho chief so cial reason for their slow propagation is the custom of countenancing no mar riage of persons who have a drop of the same blood In their veins. This is sometimes hard on the girls. One leader I know has two beautiful daugh ters who cannot get mar'hd because tlto eligible young men are almost all akin to them. Very often the custom causes strange alliances, and I know of a numbe of Instances where young bucks of 20 have squaws of CO, "The reason for a lack of Increase is the dearth of knowledge on the part of men and women of physiology, sanita tion and hygiene, Tho mothers, though Intensely fond of their offspvlng, will allow them to stuff themselves with food and traHh In the shape of cand, charcoal and clay.
