Tho Poultry Industry in China.
The breeding and rearing of fowls
is an important industry in China, as
they form a very considerable portion
of the daily food of the better class of
the people. The United btates consul
at Chin-Kiang says that the varieties
of fowls are few in number. The
principal are the Yangehow fowl, a
large bird of good flavor, weighs irom
four to six pounds. This variety is a
good layer and sitter, the eggs being
of brownish tinge and good size. It
lays, during eight or nine months of
the year, about aoo eggs, ceasing only
in the hot summer months. This de
scription is kept more for the table
than for laying purposes, as its Mesh is
particularly good. The Langshan fowl
is a distinct and fairly pure breed from
the Yangtze River region, just below
Chin-Kiang. It is a large, heavy, hand
some bird, weighing from seven to
eight pounds. The eggs are of darkish
brown, and of good size. The Black
Bone or Typhoon chicken is a distinct
fancy breed. In color it is white, and
its skin, legs, bones, flesh and comb
are very dark. The flesh of this fowl
is much esteemed, and, boiled down
into soup, it is prescribed by physicians
for certain diseases. The Chow is
another variety. This breed is small,
weighing generally from two to three
pounds. A pure white cock of this
breed is always carried on the coffin
at a native funeral cortege, and is
sacrificed at the grave. Also on native
boats a cock bird is killed on the Chi
nese.New Year's day, and the blood
sprinkled on the bow to propitiate
evil spirits, and to insure good luck
during the year. Ducks are reared in
great quantities, and are largely used
as food, both fresh and salted. They
are ail artificially hatched, as the duck
is an uncertain sitter. The common
duck is a good sized bird, weighing,
when dressed for the table, three or
four pounds, and is much esteemed
for the excellence of its flavor. After
fledging, the birds are driven about in
vast flocks through canals, and from
pond to pond, where they find their
food. They are brought under strict
discipline, and obey their keeper's call
with extraordinary intelligence. The
Mandarin duck is smaller than the
common duck, and is a beautiful bird,
with diversified and brilliant plumage.
It is reared chiefly for its beauty. In
the grounds of the wealthy there is
always an artificial lake, where the
Mandarin duok is kept. They are
considered as emblems of conjugal
fidelity, and a pair of them usualiy
form a part of wedding processions.
Preserved ducks' eggs are considered
a delicacy, and always form an impor
tant part of a Mandarin dinner. 1 he
process of preserving them is as fol
lows : A lye of beanstalk and lime is
made by burning these to powder.
Phis is put in water, black tea leaves
and salt in certain proportions being
added. The boiling is continued until
all the water has evaporated, and the
residue becomes caked and hard.
This is powdered fine, and the tresh
eggs are placed therein one by one
with a little rice husk. They remain
in this preparation one hundred days,
when they are ready for use. The
preserved eggs will keepior several
years. When ready for use they have
the appearance of hard boiled eggs.
The shell is taken off, and they are
put on the table cut into small slices
and eated as hort lmtwes. This
goose is generally of pure white
plumage, very striking in appearance,
of great size and majestic carriage,
much resembling the swan. 1 he tur
key has long been introduced into
China, and is reared at Canton and
Tien-Tsin entirely for foreign markets,
that is, for the foreigners at the treaty
pons. The peacock is reared in many
parts of China, and has long been
known to the people, though it is not
a native of the country. Its tall feathers
are used for the Mandarins in their
caps to designate official rank.
The gold and silver pheasants of
China may be called domesticated
birds, as they are now so extensively
reared that it is doubtful if they are
found wild. There is a bird in China
the cormorant-which is domesticated,
trained to wonderful intelligence, and
employed in catching fish. These
birds are reared and trained with great
care. A pair costs from five to six
dollars. 1 hey are taken out on the
lakes and rivers in a small boat ; one
man to every ten or twelve cormo
rants. I he birds stand perched on
the sides of the boat, and, at a word
from the man, they scatter on the
water and begin to look for fish. They
dive for the fish and then rise to the
surface with the fish in their bills,
when they are called back to the boat
by the fisherman. As docile as dogs,
they swim to their master and are
taken into the boat, when they lay
down their prey and again resume
ihtir labor. 1 he use of incubators in
hatching eggs has been known and
practiced in China for several him
dred years. It is a large and profitable
industry, but the apparatus used ii of

of th e building are a number of round
straw baskets plastered with mud to
prevent them from taking fire. A tile
forms the bottom of each basket. Up
on this heat acts, a small fireplace be
ing below each basket. Upon the top
of the basket there is a straw cover,
which fits closely, and is kept shut
during the process. When the eggs
are brought they are put in the baskets,
the fire is lighted beneath them, and
a uniform heat maintained. In four
or five days after the eggs have been
subjected to this temperature, they
are taken carelully out, one by one,
to a door, in which are a number of
holes nearly the size of the eggs. They
are held against these holes, and the
attendants, looking through them, are
able to tell whether they are good or
not. In nine or ten days after this,
that is, about fourteen days from the
commencement, the eggs are taken
from the baskets and spread out on
shelves. Here no fire heat is applied,
but they are covered over with cotton
and a kind of blanket, under which
they remain about fourteen days more,
when the young chickens break their
shells and come forth. The natives
engaged in this business know exactly
the day when the young chickens or
ducks will come forth, and are ready
for their arrival. They are generally
sold two or three days after they are
hatched. Scientific A merican.
Be Not too Sanguine.
Let those be not too sanguine who
thus parly presume to forecast the
political horizon. It is very unsafe to
be certainly sure about things of a
political nature these days. States
hitherto Republican are quite as apt
to forget their political cunning, be
cause of the prevailing and unparallel
ed commercial strife and confusion
resulting from strikes and the tariff
muddle, as are other States of Demo
cratic persuasion to break the cordage
ol their political moorings and then
drift into the fold of the opposition
through supreme disgust or violated
promises.
The man who would presume to
guess nearly straight must not neglect
to consider many things that have
transpired of a disruptive political
nature in both of the old parties. Nor
can he neglect to consider the im
portance and rapid growth of the
Populist, and the Prohibitionist, as
well as the uncertainty of affiliation
on the part of the sore striker whose
troubles are for the most part with
Republican capitalists, and which are
the outgrowth or effect of Republican
laws and jurisdiction.
So that while under ordinary cir
cumstances Democratic defeat would
be considered almost certain, under
the prevailing extraordinary conditions
there is nothing certain about it,
because of the reasons we have en
deavored to state.
The most grievous Democratic
discord or rupture is confined to head
quarters between the President and
the Senate and it does not necessa
rily or seriously distract or affect the
rank and file who do the voting. On
the oilier hand, the Republican attitude
is such as to put it in anything but
harmony with striking laborers who
feel that the advantages derived from
Republican hih protection is a cheat
and a snare so far as they themselves
are concerned, and they want no more
o it. Where can they find what they
want is t!.o question with the un
protected. While it may seem to be ttue that
D::nocr" -y has been driven and
forced, a.id perhaps bought, into an
11 n .; t political attitude, what is
ll. ere n : hope and aspirations of
i!u j-rerv :t Republican pariy to
attract the disgusted or disaffected of
any or all parties who want only fair
nlay and eouitable government. The
House being true to the issue upon
which they were elected, and true to
the wish and requirement of ' the
majority who elected Cleveland,
makes the disobedient and recalci
trant Senate all the more obnoxious.
The cause of Senatorial objection to
popular wish in the matter of tariff
refotm and income taxation is too
plain and simple to be misunderstood
by even the most illiterate country
man. Political sophistry from stump
speakers between this and election
day can hardly dislodge a plain truth
when a countryman once gets hold of
it right. We believe the countrymen
now not only understand the issues
correctly, but that they also under
stand the attitude ot the old pames
on these issues too well to be fooled
or mislead much longer by them.
In choosing the least of the two evils
or deceptive parties we hold that
Drmocracy will be as apt to get the
majority of the votes as the Repub
lican party in its present attitude can
reasonably hope for. Promises unful-
filed (made with intent of deliberate
deception) are getting too old and
bald headed to much longer answer
the purpose of the old parties. They
both know how to write attractive
platforms; and we put it none too
strong when we say they are both as
deceitful as the devil 365 days in the
year. The President has been true
and has aimed to the right. The
lower House has been true because
it was afraid to accept the inducements
to be otherwise. The Senate has been
true only so far as President Cleve
land could coerce it. He has received
their anathemas for his honest effort,
but the American people know the
difference between them, and some
of them will die in ignominy because
of their attempted treachery and
political perfidy, while the attitude of
the President will rear him an en
during monument in the hearts of
his countrymen who are ever ready to
applaud fidelity and condemn hy-
pocracy whether it be ot a political
or a religious nature.
