esjH'vially with turkeys, when bent to
market. (ireat caie tilinuld be exer
cised in having them in good, lij:ht,
new, roomy c-oops that will permit
them to stand ereet. that will slir w all
the birds separately as nearly us pos
sible, ho that the buyer ean inspect
them with but very little trouble.
They should be in condition to uttract
the eye of any passer-by. If the tur
keys are well fattened and in fine
fchape and appearance, then the com
mission man can almost name the
price.
If turkeys are well fattened and nre
sent to market in a dirty, .shabby,
eramped up coop they nre apt to be
left until late in the day, and nine
times out of ten if the market is well
supplied they will not sell at nil, just
because their appearance knocked
them out. Again, if turkeys nre placed
in a close coop, so that they are com
pelled to sit or stand in a cramped con
dition, when dressed the breast and
thighs will be very black and not fit
for sale at any price. The people who
buy turkeys for holidays nre people
who understand all these things and
will not buy them at any price even
if they are well fattened. Turkeys
should not be fed for 24 hours or at
lenst 12 hours before shipping, as
when not fed they wiTt not drift near
ly as much und will be in better con
dition for dressing.
Another point should not be loRt
sight of, and thnt is to always try to
put your turkeys on the mnrket when
the demand is likely to be good. A few
days before Thanksgiving is usually
a first-class mnrket for turkeys.
After that dnte the consumer is sup
plied and the market is dull. A few
years ago we knew a breeder to mar
ket his turkeys just after Thanksgiv
ing. lie struck n bad mnrket and he
had a black eye for turkey breeding
ever after thnt, while if l,e iuid known
his business and marketed them at a
proper time they would nave been re
munerative instead of a loss to him.
There is as much in selling ns there
is in buying. J. C. Hipp, in National
Stockman.

NOTES FOR BEEKEEPERS.
Windbreaks in winter nre beneficial.
He sure that each colony has a good
fertile iucen.
Arrange so that no stock shall run
in the apiary.
It will not do to confine bees on
combs of pollen.
I'.ees must be kept very quiet if they
are to w inter well.
Do not leave on the hive any upper
Morics or boxes of any kind.
You can feed sirup only on warm
days before cold weather sets in.
Division boards should be used in all
weak colonies, thus contract ing the
space.
Chan cushion divisions are prefera
ble to boards ulone, n.s they are
warmer.
Itees may readily be wintered in a
cellar if un even temperature can be
kept up.
The cheapest und best way to pro
tect the bees in winter is by using good
ckutT hives.
A good way to keep the extra combs
is to hang them in a rack in a dry
room. Toronto (Out.) Mail.
How to Stamp Out Roup.
If one of your birds shows signs of
roup take it away from the flock at
once and place it in warm, dry quar
ters. Hub the heud with coal oil and
squirt some up in the roof of the
mouth, allowing the bird to swallow
a small amount. Should the bird sot
be a valuuble one it would be better
tc kill it at once and avoid spending
more time with it than the bird is
worth, and a'.so kicp the disease from
spreading farther.. Give the rest of
