LA.BEL YOUR GOODS.

example. Mr. Green Greeter 'phones
to his commission house for a hamper of
lettuce. IL C011.1e8 and it proves to be
good. The packer had had good lettuce
and he bas been careful, though he only
makes one grado of his crop. Mr, Groc-
er wants more. Again he 'phonee and
geteetegbaloper. This one looks just like
the other, bearing on the top inereis the
name of the conmaisslon merchant and
e number tor identification. But this
timo he receives the prosuee of ant ther
grower who makes three grades. This
taisket contains the third. Next daY
Mr. Grocer goes deevn town, calls on his

The poor lettuce has spoiled the trade
in unmarked stuff and all such passes
for culls, or nearly so. The man with
the label reaps the profit. What, thellr

HOW TO PZILL POULTRY.
So great is the demand made by people
of every class of life for information
abdut the rearing and killing of poultry
that the Department of Agriculture, fre-
QUently sends out more than one and bne-
half et copies of a single eamph-
14 teelating to the poultry businees. Here
are directions for killing poultfy:
"The knietes in common 1180 in bleeding
and braining poultry are not suited to
their purpoSe. The blades are tOte broad
and too long and the curve at the point
should be an the back instead of on the
cutting edge. The handle is to large
that the killer is encouraged to use too
intich force in making the cut to bleed,
whereas, a light touch of the sharp
knife, properly directed, is ail that ia
needed to eut the blood veesels. The
itnivem are also insanItitly, in that dirt
tollects at the junction of the blade anti
handle. The knife which is to be used
to bleed and brain potato, should be
small, with a narrow blade; stiff, so
that it doe* not bend: of the best steel,
so that it den be kept sharp, and is not
flieked when ueed braining; and the
handle and blade should be in oils piece.

Dower of .the parents, We have noticed
both in stock and poultry breeding that
$ome fine individuals -both male and fe-
male, do not have the power of trans-
mitting their qualities to their offspring.
Still. to produce heavy layers, we must
breed from heavy layers, There is tin
other course to toilets'.
Massing as many favorable factors as
we can gives us a degree of succese
preportion. Prolifeacy is not in the
breed, not in the feed, but in those fac-
tors wbieh form the first life. The possi-
bilities of the hen and the prepoteney of
the male are both determined right here,
and nothing can cha,nge or alter it. Good
rare and feeding only aid the heti to de-
velop and do the best with what Nature,
has endowed her. Environment may
have much to do in bringing forth pro-
lific fowls. for it may go back of even
the development of the parents to the
best they are capable.

-All kinds of rumors are afloat as to
the new silhouette, whieh one or two
of the leading hotteee on the other tide

they will suit us. These coats age ear -
