Are You Ready for Wifiterf As winter approaches, whn the keeping of fowls is attended with more expense, we should inspect ur flocks and reject all except those which we are sure will prove profitable or will be needed for breeding purposes in the' r: n i l . a i , i.jI spnag. vret nu oi uie superaanauiea cocks and hens, and the very late pul lets that will not begin laying before next spring. It is a good plan also to dispose of all the cockerels raised on the place, and replace them with an entirely new lot of thoroughbreds, procured from some reliable poultry deale. hese young cockerels should be of the early spring hatch, so as to be near maturi ty; and if possible I prefer buying them early in the fall, for they are not near so pugnacious among themselves as when almost grown, and if the old roosters, who for so long have leded it over the yard, show a desire to drive them off, why it is better to dispose of them, too. Keep, by all means, your early spring pullets; they apjar larger now it any thing than the old bens, but can easily be distinguished by their smooth, clean legs, trim shape, and bright handsome plumage. If some of the flock have been al lowed to roost out of doors during the warm weather, which is by far etter plan, thev should now be s nailed to go indoors. The frost destroyed the leaves on the trees, ifter tins the fowls will have no tection from the chilling rains and the cool night wind. The owls, too, can lave a better chance at them, and these sly rogues, as every farmer knows, are especially lively in the fall. 1 he poultry house should be thor oughly cleansed and made reidy for lie accommodation of the new comers, giving the perches especial attention. 1 he frequency with which the floor needs sweeping of course depends on the size of the house, the warmth of he weather and the number of fowls kept. I never like a longer interval than two weeks to elapse at any time; in summer one week is preferred, though my poultry house is large, well ventilated and not at all crowded with inmates. After each sweeping the smooth plank floor is covered with dry earth, ami lime sprinkled over that. the nests, which were ail removed for the summer, will soon be replaced, and then the old biddies will be happy. or nothing pleases them so well as keeping house in it house. In fact, so oth were some of them to give it up, hat they persisted during summer in depositing their eggs on the upper sill or plate of the house on which tha raf ters rest, from which insecure place the eggs of course rolled down, and made a feast for the fortuuate fowl hat found them. A nest eggs, they much prefer the white glass or china eggs, which stav cleaner and fresher, and look more like real eggs than the unpainted wooden ones, which, though cheaper at first are dearer in the end for they so soon get lost. It is unfortunate that the brooding instinct of many improved breeds of fowls is still inseierable from their increased prolificness. Even some of their non-sitters, when kept on the farm for a few years where they have a wide range and a variety of food, return by degrees to their or iginal brooding habit. And the trouble of it is, they are just as determined to sit out of season as in; they have no method whatever in their madness. And how thev do sck, these same innocent brownies! always wrap my hand up in mv ap ron when I fiucLone ot them on the nest. She doeYnt say a word, but if her sharp eyes catch a glimpse of my wrist she fires away, and the mark stays there for a week. But if it's a Plymouth Kock on the nest, then my hand goes boldly under her soft feath ers; she may quarrel a little but she wouldn t hurt me for the world; in fact, she is too dignified to be aggres sive. The hens kept for brooders next pring should be from two to three years old; their eggs are larger and more perfect, and the hens themselves make more sensible, patient, aud more thrifty mothers. Pure-bred Plymouths that have been fed pretty liberally are not generally profitable after the third year; they are apt to become fat and sluggish too lazy to do anything but eat, and too heavy to make good brooder. They are excellent for the table, how ever, all during fall, winter and early spring; and when dressed whole and stuffed like a turkey they make quite a handsome appearance, being nearly a large as a turkey hen, the skin clean and transparent, with the yellow fal shining through, and the flesh tender and savory, juicy and sweet. I have never had a Leghorn get toe old to lay; they are too active and in quisitive to "carry flesh, and too full of mischief to grow sluggish. When cared for judiciously, they may doubt lss lie kept with profit until five years of age. A Fakmeb's Daughter. Logan Co., Ky. The sub-treasury idea is rapidly los ing ground in Kentucky. S. B.

JONES, VIRGINIA. With a sharp axe and a sharp batch er's knife at hand, lay the hog on the chopping bench, sidedown. With the knife make a cut near the ear clear across the neck and down the bone. With a dexterous storke of the axe sev er the head from the body. Lay the carcass on the back, a boy" holding it upright and keeping the forelegs well apart. With the axe proceed to take out the chine or backbone. If it is de sired to put as much of the bog into neat meat as possible, trim the chine very close, taking out none of the skin or outside fat with it. Otherwise the cutter need not be particular how much meat comes away with the bone. What does not go with the meat will be iu the offal er sausage, and nothing will be lost. Lay the chine aside, and with the knife finish seperating the two di visions of the hog. Next strip off with the hands the leaves or flakes of fat from the middles to the hams. Seize the hock of the ham with the left hand, and with the knife in the other pro ceed to round out the ham, giving it a neat oval shape. Be very particular in shaping the ham. If it is spoiled in the first cutting, no subsequent trim ming will put it into a form to suit ex actly the fastidious public eye. Trim off the surplus lean and fat and pro jecting pieces of bone. Cut off the loot just above the hock joint. The piece, wheu finished, shoulu have near ly the form of a regular oval, with its projecting handle or hock. With the axe cut the shoulder from the mid ling, making the cut straight across near the elbow joint. Take off the end ribs or "spare bone" from the shoulder, trim the piece, and cut off the foot. For home use,, trim the shoulder, as well as the other pieces, very closely, taking off all of both leau. and fat that can be spared. If care was taken to cut away the head near the ear, the shoulder will be at first about as wide as long, having a good deal of the neck attached. If the meat is intended for sale, and the larg est quantity of bacon is the primary object, let the piece remain so. Bat if it is preferred to have plenty of lard and sausage, cut a smart strip from off the r.ech side of the shoulder, and make the piece assume the form of a parall elogram, with the hock attached to one end. Trim a slice of fat from the back of the middling, take off the "short rib," aud, if preferred," remove the long ribs from the whole piece. The latter, however, is not often done by the far- Put the midline in nice shape niers. E by trimming it wherever needed, which, when tinishel, will be very much like a square in form, jierhaps a little lon ger than broad, with a small circular piece cut out from the end next the ham. The six pieces of neat meat are now ready tor the filter. The head is next cut open longitudinally from side to side, seperating the jowl from the top or "head," so-called. The jawbone of the jowl is cut at the angle or tip, and the "swallow," which is the larynx or upper part of the windpipe, is taken out. The head piece is next cut open vertically, and the lobe of the brain is taken out, and the ears and nose are removed. The bone of the chine is cut at sev eral places for the convenience of the cook, and the task of the cutter is nn ished. Besides the six pieces of neat, there are the chine, souse, jowl, head, fat, sausage, two spare and two short ribs, and various other small bits, de rived from each hog. A good cutter, with an assistant to carry away the pieces and help otherwise, can cut out rom fifty to sixty hogs in a day. American Agriculturist. The Veteran's Story. Our State is Progressing. HIS ESCAPE FROM THE PRISON PEN AT . NEW INDUSTRIES TO BE PUT IN OPJOA- SALISBURT, N. C. I was one of the crowd of Union prisoners which dag the long tunnel and escaped from the prison pen at Salisbury, N. C, said a veterau to a New York Sun writer. Those of us who had worked the hardest had the first show on the night when we broke through into the railroad cut. As fast as we got out we took different directions, as had been planned. I went up the Yadkin river, hoping to get into Virginia. I had a $20 gold piece one which I had carried in my boot heel for three months unknown to any one. It was given to me by a citizen of Salisbury in exchange for $5,000 worth of Confederate gold bonds. I made fair progress to the North that night and the next day. As ev ening came again I was forced to stop at a farm-house and ask for something to eat. My request was readily grant ed, and when 1 rose to go the man of the house observed: Stranger, they say a lot of Yanks ffOt rlun out- ftf tho mm u t iil,ni'r i i 1: i r 17 : r jui iiuiiiisning a carriage T.ON.

"Yes?'' - "And they say that whoever brings one back gets a hundred dollars.'' "Well?" "Well, I reckon I'll hitch up the cart and drive you back." "What ! Do you take me for an escaped Yankee prisoner?" I exclaimed. "Sartin we do," replied the farmer and his wife iu chorus. "You are greatly mistaken. Would a Yankee prisoner have this about him?" 1 laid the gold on the table. Per haps it was the first twenty either had ever seen. It seemed a tortune to a poer family. "I am going to leave it with you," I continued. "You can give me some meat and meal and a bed-quilt for it." The were perfectly satisfied of my identity and where I had come from, but the man held the gold in his hand and said: Q"Mother, he'un can't be no Yank." "In co'se he aint," she replied. "He'un must be a Confederate contractor-looking after hogs an' co n." "1 reckon." "An' it's our dooty to help he'tin get through." "Of co'se."

Naomi Falls contemplates A Little Boy's Heroism. HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING To BE LEFT IN THE CEMETARY. A little boy's heroism was tested not long ago through a mistake. The edi tor of a contemporary relates that a gentleman in a New Eugland town proposed to drive with his wif to the beautiful cemetarv besides the river beyond the town. Calling his son, a bright little boy some four years old, he told him to get ready to accompany them. The child's coun'.cuauce fell and the father said: "Don't yuu want to go, Willie?" The lit lie lip quivered, but the child answer): "Yes papa, if you wish." The child was strangely Silent during the drive and when the carriage drove under the wide archway he clung to his mother's side aud looked up in her f.ce with pathetic wist fulness. The party alighted aud walked among the graves and alo;ig the tree-hadowed avenues, looking at the inscriptions on the last pesting place of the dwellers ia the leabtiful city of the dead. After an uour so spent they returned to the k;arrige and Ike father lifted his little son to h: sent. The child looked ur .iri.ed, drew a breath of relief, and asked: "Why, am I going back with you? ' "Of course you are; why not?' "I thought when they took little boys to the cemetary the' left theiu there,' said the child.

The Rail Road reporter of the Atlanta Constitution has learned that the new, solid vestibule train between Washington and Atlanta will be put on about the first of January; that everything is completed with the exception of the observation car, which is still iu the Pullman shops. This train will, without exception, be the finest in the southern country, and the best equipped. It will cousist of bag gage, mail, dining and observation cars and two sleepers, and the entire cost, in cludiagengine,will be $200,000. The train will be equipped with everything in the matter of the safety, comfort and con venience of the travelling public that the wonderful ingenuity of the modern man has been able to suggest. It will be lighted with gas from eud to end by the celebrated Piutsch gas system. Each car will be keated by the standard system of hot water circulation. This system com prises circulation pipes within the car, which are filled with water, and two heaters iu opera, ive contact with these pipes, which can be used simultaneously ro seperately tor imparting heat to the water in pipes, steam from the locomo tive being the primary source ot heat, and Baker, or any similar heater, within the a . . 1 I .. . . car, tne nuxmarj wuwi wic iiihu.ii heater is not iu use. The heat obtained ia abundant, pleasant, easily regulated and absolutely safe. At both ends of the car are valves which close the pi pea when the car is uncoupled, and the heat i thus retained in the car for hours after wards. There is no need t dwell upon the ef ficacy of the Pinseh lighting syhicm, which is everywhere recognized as the highest step reached in the lighting of railway cars. This is the first regular sdid vestibule train ever in the South. The distance oi 64Smile to Washington is to be traversed in righ;een hours, or at the rate of CO miles an hour, including all stop9.
