PIIBLIBBER AND PBOPRIETOP THURSDAY, 00T. 26, 1905. THE SENATE (Seaforth Expositor.) The Torouto News, which approves of the increased indemnity to members of the Honse of Commons as well as of the increase in the salaries of the judges and pensious to ex -Cabinet Miuisters, baulks at the increased pay to the Senators. It ease: "It is utterly absurd that one party of the Parliament of Canada should, be ap- pointed by the Government of the day, and if a Senate is uecessary at all, it should either be elected by the people cr chosen by the Provincial Legislatures. It might then be an effective check on the Governtuent and a protection again- st the growing inclination of the central authorities to encroach on the rights and liberties ot the Provinces. An equally absurd feature of the present system is the paymeut of :1;2,500 a year to a Senate for doiug notinug. At present the abo- lition ot the Senate would simply mean the saving of some$40U,000a year by do- ing away with an institutlou that serves no other purpose than to swell the bully of Government patronage." Yes, the whole bnsiuess is absurd. The Senate, as at present constituted, is ab- solutely useless and the large sum it an- nually costs the country is worst than wasted. It is now and always has been an asylum fur worn oat politicians. 1f it must be maintained, it should, in some way be made useful. The only way this can be done is to make it elective by the people. It would be no improvement to have it appointed by the Provincial Leg- islatures as the News suggests. When the Legislatures happened to be of the same political stripe as the Commons their appointees would be as they are now, simply registering machines for the Commons. When the Legislatures hap- pened to be of a different political stripe their appoiutees would go the Senate em- bued with the belief it was their boun- den duty to thwart the wishes of the people as expressed through their chosen representatives in the popular body. The only reform that is practical is to make the Senate elective. Let its members be chosen from a larger constituency than are the members for the Commons. For instance, in the county of Huron, we send three representatives to the Com- mons; to the Senate we might send one. And let them be elected for, say eight years, instead of five. This would give them a different constituency, and would secure a fuller representation of the de- sires of the whole people than we now have, while the elective system would give us better and more live men, and infuse new lite and energy into what is now, practically a dead body. The work of the Commons could also be distribut- ed so as to give a proper proportion to the Senate, thus dividing up the work and making aborter sessions. In this way one body would be a real check on the other; the work would be better and more expeditiously done, and money en- ough saved annually to pay a larger pro- portion of the Interest on the cost the of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway. PREPARING CHICKENS FOR MARKET. Starving. -The chickens should be starved 24 hours before killing, to pre- vent food in the crop and intestines de- composing and opening the flavor of the birds. Several hours after the last feed allow the chickens what water they wish to drink. They should then have a complete fast until they are killed. Killing. --(a) For chickens going into immediate consumption on the local Pains in Small of the Bach market it will be most conyenient to dislocate the neck, with the left bend hold the chickens lege and wings iu one firm grasp. Place the first finger on the right hand ou the right side of the neck and the remaining fingers on the left side. Grasp the head in the hollow cf the hand, with the fork of the fingers behind the head where it joins the neck: The back of the chicken being upwards, hold the legs against the left hip, and the head near the light thigh or knee. Bend the head backwards as far as poss- ible and at the same time stretch the neck, when it is dislocated immediately; pull the head about 13-2 inches from the neck, Hold the wings firmly after kill- ing and allow the chicken's head to hang down, so that the blood can colleot iu the neck: the head is attaohed to the body simply by the skin of the neck. $o severe she could scarcely rise after stooping -The cause, kidney disease.

(b) Chicks that are to be exported or put into cold storage most be killed by stinking in the mouth. Cat the large arteries at the sides of the neck, just below the ears. This can be done by introducing the knife into the throat and giving a couple of quick turns up and down. When bleeding freely drive the blade at an angle with the bird's bill into the back part of the roof of the mouth. Be sure the blade is through the bony structure and has entered the brain, then give a quick half turn to the knife. This causes paralysis which loosens the feathers, making them much easier to pluck. Allow the bird to hang by its feet until plucked. Plucking. -(a) When killing by dis- location, commence dry plucking as soon as the neck is dislocated. Directions for Plucking. -While still holding the chicken in the left haud, ex- tend the tail feathers and the quill feathers of the wing. Allow the chicken's head to hang down and com- mence plucking the feathers on the back and wings sthen pluck the breast and lower part of the neck, work baok on the body to the tail, and, turning the bird over again, finish the back and wings, Leave the feathers on the neck for three inches from the head, a ring of feathers around the lege at the hock joints, and the small feathers on the out- side joint of each wing. Clean pluck the rest of the chicken. Remove all pin -feathers and make the bird as attractive as possible. Be care- ful not to tear the akin. If a tear is made, have the flesh brought together with white thread. (b) Plucking the chick that is bled. - As the bird is hanging on a level with the operator's chest, grasp the wing bet- ween the thumb and first two fingers of the left hand, holding the neck between the third and little finger. This gives the operator control of the bird. Remove the large wing fathers and the stiff feathers at the shoulder joints with the right hand. Remove tail feathers with one quick twisting motion, Pass the right hand rapidly down the back, from rump to neck, removing the feathers with thumb and forefinger. Shift the bird then to the right hand and nab the left hand in picking the soft feathers from the breast: If the sticking has been properly done, the feathers will all come out easily and without tearing. The bird is again held in the left hand while the feathers are quickly stripped; the neck. wing and hock feathers are left the same as in (a.) Shaping. -Chickens fattened for mar- ket should be properly shaped. This gives them a compact, plump appear- ance, and the returns are greater than when the chickens are shipped in a rough, unprepared condition. The shaper is made by nailing two ea inch planed boards together at right angles, so as to form a 6 -inch trough, in- side measurement. This trough can be made six feet long and nailed in a frame, or 13 feet long with ends on it and laced on the top of two barrels; the trough should lean slightly backwards. Directions for Shaping. -As soon as the chickens isl plucked, place its legs alongside its breast; then with its breast downward, force the chicken into the angle of the shaper. Cover the chicken with paper and place a brick on top to shape it and one against it to hold it in position. Continue the same process as the other chickens are plucked, plat. ing each chicken in the shaper close to the last and moving the lower brick along to hold the row in position, Leave the chicken in the shaper for at least nix hours. Packing. -After being thoroughly cooled, the chickens should be packed into shipping cases. The chickens mast be cotlied and dry on tate skins before packing. Unless. they- are artifically cooled they should not be packed for 20 hours after killing. The shipping cases used by the Department of Agricnitnre are graded according to the size of the birds. Each case holds 12. Full des. cription is contained in Bulletin No. 7. For those having only a limited main ber of chickens, the ordinary small packing cases, to bo obtained at the grocery store, will be found fairly' satis- factory. To ascertatn the price per pound at which chickens may be sold by drawn, plucked or live weight, to realize the same amount of money, the following table of equivalent values for the differ. ent selling prices has been calculated : --- Equal pries per pound (in cents) for fattening chickens sold by live weight, THE W1NGIIAM TIMES OCTOBER 26, 1905, TWENTY YERS AGO, (From THE WINOHA'at TIMES of Friday, October 23rd, 1885.) LOCAL NEWS. James Hobbs, civil engineer, who was is business in this town last winter and smog, died at the residence of his father, West Niesouri, on Sunday last Arrangemeuts were completed this week for the sale of the Beaver block by Geo.

Elliott, treasurer of the band benefit concert, on Wednesday handed over to Geo. Mason, the band treasurer, the sum of $59.70, beiug the net proceeds of the concert recently given in the Horticultural hall after deducting•all ex- penses. The other day Robt. Little of this town, called at the TI1tES office and left a sample stalk of the corn grown on hie lot on Edward street, near Patrick. The stalk measures exactly twelve feet in length, and in probably the tallest corn grown in this neighborhood.

McCosh, chaplain; J. A. Morton and Hugh Miller, representative members. The salt well is now down nearly 1,100 feet, and the indications are very favorable. On Monday some brine was brought up which indicated a large per- centage of salt, but the bed has not yet been reached. Monday evening S. You - hill Ieft at this office a small quantity of salt, the first manufactured product of our salt well. It was very fine, some- what dark in color, but very strong. It is hoped that a rich bed of salt be struck this week. The second contest for the silver cup given by the proprietors of roller skating rink here, was skated on Wednesday evening. There was a fair audience present to witness the proceedings and much enthusiasm was shown. Time was called at nine o'clock when the skaters took their , places.

Receipts from various classes of fees in the Provincial Secretary's Department for the nine months ending September 30 last show a considerable increase over the figares for the same period of 1904. The total was $98,984, compared with $83,766 last year,, en increase of $15,168, The Money is' derived chiefly from the incorporation of new compan- les, automobile licenses, and marriage licenses. "In two years we have brought over 5,000 immigrants to Canada, and next year we expect to assist from eight to ten thousand British people to homes in this country," said Brigadier Thomas Howell, secretary of Transportation and Immigration of the Salvation Army to the Toronto Star. "The Army will charter several Csnedian line steamers to bring over our proteges. We are not bringing in slam people, but able-bodied persons of excellent char, atter." The Army may also undertake the lmpettstion of a number of Swedes, Danes, Norwegians and Germans. Local history of the early 80s. Items from The "Times" fyles.

I). RAISING PIGS. ' • They Mast Be Kept Growing alma Thriving-nreeds and Feed. Pigs pay well when properly has+ dled. From my experience and ob- servations, covering a period of over a quarter of a century, I have conclud- ed that first the breed should be adapt- ed to the farm and the farmer's style of work, says a Pennsylvania farmer in American Agriculturist. In the mile dle and central west, where corn In king and wheat and other cereals are a close second, the breed usually chosen Is the Poland -China, Chester White or large English Berkshire. Of late Dtl- roc-Jerseys have become very popular and are giving good results. These all make fine porkers and are of the large type, furnishing heavy hams and shoulders and much lard when ma- ture. They are nice hogs for the cut up butchers' trade wben not too large when slaughtered at six months to one year old. In the eastern states and near towns and cities, where much of their food consists of byproducts of the dairy, orchard, garden or hotel, some of the smaller, quick maturing breeds are generally found beat adapted to the peculiar situation. Small Yorkshires, Cheshires, Lancashires and small Berkshires will make good showing's in such places. With the larger breeds and in the corn belt spring and summer or even fall pigs should be wintered on a growing ration only, composed of vegetables, roots, cut, steamed or soaked hay, with small grain ration, and then turned on to se good pasture as early in spring as the ground permits and fattened on grain in time for the market they are intend- ed for. Profitable pigs must be kept growing and thriving all the time. It is usual- ly a loss to let them stand still or go back for a single week. By studying the markets one can readily determine what will be the cheapest line of food- stuff for him to purchase, or if grain, etc., is grown on the farm what will pay best for him to feed and what to sell. The returns from any line of feeding will be best determined by careful work in actual feeding. Success In Growing Borneo, The men who make a success of growing horses are the men who put brains into the business, says T. AL Wilkinson in Chicago Record -Herald. They decide upon a type to grow and then select the best mares of this type that their money will buy. A man had better own but one high class brood mare, whether she be draft, coach, trotting, saddle or thoroughbred, than a whole yard full of mixed breeds, sizes and inferior quality. Select a stallion • of known reputation, as you can then see his colts, and by observ- ing mares and colts produced you can judge how he will mate with your own mare. It is time the farmer realized that he must abandon the production of the common general purpose horse. They bring the least money of any. Corn and Cob Meal For Cattle. . "For a number of years it has been the policy at the Iowa experiment sta• tion and Agricultural college," says Professor Curtis, "to use corn and cob meal instead of cornmeal whenever the conditions are such as to warrant grinding at all, and we have neves had any injurious results that could be attributed to the use of corn and cob meal when properly ground and fed to cattle." PROFITABLE FEEDING As a result of an experiment in feed- ing hay with and without grain to calves the Nebraska experiment station has arrived at the following conclusion: That the cost of producing gains in calves is least when considerable grain is fed along with hay. The results of an experiment conducted during the preceding winter also indicated that the feeding of grain was profitable from the standpoint of economical production. For the entire year, with no grain during the summer while on grass, the results would go to shows that a moderate grain ration in win- ter, not more than one-third a full feed along with hay, is most economical. Field Peas For Lambs. Experiments in lamb feeding at the Wyoming station resulted in the fol- lowing conclusions: Sixty lambs fed 100 days on eleven and six -tenths acres of field peas which were raised on sod land with- out irrigation. These lambs harvested the crop, made better gains and went to market in better condition than lambs from the feed pens which were fed alfalfa and corn. It is possible to fatten lambs without grain on a cheap ration of alfalfa, tur- nips and oilmeal, and such rations will be further investigated. A complete and well balanced ration of alfalfa, turnips, corn and oilmeal gave the largest gains on the smallest actual amount of nutrients in the food. Cottonseed Meal For Hotta. A Texas farmer writing in Farm and Ranch says: I have noticed that when being fed on cottonseed meal bogs can- not stand much exercise. Have had several bogs to drop down and die In a few minutes while driving them from the feed lot to the shipping pen, about half a mile. I get the best and quickest results from two parts of Cornmeal and one pert of wheat shorts (cost not counted), soaked twelve hours. Think I have fed twenty tone of cottonseed meal to 1,000 hogs during teed.the past ten menthe.
