FUR BRITISH MARKETS,

Hints en Dressing, Paeking and Shipping of Poultry.

A most useful bulletin on the dressing

avu packing of poultry for the English

ayarcet has been prepared by Prof. Jas W. stobertzon, Dominion Dairy Commis- sioner. We give herewith a brief synopsis of conditions laid down :—

Tie exportation of turkeys from Canada

to Great Britain is hardly yet paet the experimental stage. Most of the ship- mesis have been sent more as an oceational venture than as part of a

yevu >” business, Qoe importer of poultry in Creat Britain says: “Everybody thinks he i+ qualified :o pack snd ship poultry; whereas, as much as any otber artucle of food, it requires the ekilful handlin, which can be given only as the resnit of experience.” [t will be prud.oc for a heginner to send only small trial shipments early in the season, and thus open up 4 trade which can be enlarged as it is orofi wble. . If Turkeys be prepared, packed and shipped according to the requtmements of the British markets, they will, undoubt. ed!y meet a good demand and secure prices equal to those of the turkeys imported from France and other continectal couotries. The price varies from year to year, aud alse at different times of the year. Wholesale, the range of price may be fron “.ve pence per sound, up to nine nce per pound, for tue fin-st qualny of bird. mu the best condition.

TIME TO SHIP,

The demand is usnally good from the Ist of Decemberto the let of March. The reception of poultry io the British markets is affected by tha condition of the weather much less than formerly. Cold storage faculties in the several cities in Creat Britain enable the handlers to guard ngainst deterioration from mild and soft weattier on the arrival of the birds.

Thev should be packed about ten in a case. Birds of swa!l eize are not wante’; anything under vine pounds in

geese os veglected. CHICKENS AND F WLS.

lt is recommended that they be pre- pared io the same way as the turkeys whict are to be plucked. The dealers vecowmend the breskwg down of the brea«t bone by pushiog it over to one side with ibe thumbs, the bird having ite back pressed up by the knee. —

A “breskinb-down” sticks, or knife, should be used only when the dreseer is not abie to break with thumbs.

‘Tbe wings should be twisted under the back, .od the legs alko should be tucked unde: the back.

The head should be wrapped in thick paper to absord any blood and to prevent it from taking a dull and damaged appear- ance,

Immediately after killing, the birds should be hung up by the feet and left to! become quite cold before being packed, Such birds are not to be drawn. After they are thoroughly cooled through, they should be packed in air-tight barrels or boxes,

The head should be put up under the wing, but should be laid in the middle of the back, where there is the least amount of flesh.

The birds shonld be sorted according to size, and the casee ehould be marked on the ends indicating the number of birds, whether cocks or heas, and the range of weight.

CEESE AXD DUCKS,

Geese are in demard io Great Britain for a longer time after Coristmas than is usually the case in markets on this side of the Atlantie. It isnot probable that a profitable trade of large volume can be developed in tie near future. The supply of ducks, chickens and fow)s in Canada is hardiy yet enfficient for the demand of the Cavadian home trade. Where trial ship- mente of geese and ducks are to be mace the following peints should be observed: —

The geese and ducks should be fasted for at least 24 houre before being killed.

They should be killed by cutting in the reof ofthe mouth. The cutting should be lengthy ise, acrose, and deep enough to reach the brain.

All the feathers shou'd be plucked oif except on the tips of the winge. They should not in any case be dipped in water, and the down may be left on.

The entrails may be left in.

One can believe in the density of the population—24,000,000 people on this is- land of 49,197 square miles, about the size of the state of New York—when he sees the people trooping along these country roads, and he can well understand why every foot of Iand is cultivated, how even in the benevolent land of the banana every one must produce something, must work er starve. Men and boys toiled to the passer, bent over with the weight of one or two monstrous jac'fruits or durians on their backs. A woman with a baby swing- ing in the slandang over her shoulder had tied cackling chickens to the back of her belt and trudged on comfortably under ber umrella, and a boy swung a brace of ducks frem eech end of 9 shoulder pole and trotted gayiy to the passer.

EDUCATING MUSCLES.

A New Theory Propounded In Regard to Them,

And now comes a Russian professor with a book of his own making, in which it isshown that muscular exercise does not develop muscular strength where there was none before. In _ short, Professor Alexis Horvath completely upsets the the- ory that the absolute strength of muscles may be largely increased by exercise taken for that purpose, says the Washington Post.

He contends that muscles are a gift of nature and that no amount of exercise can convert acongenital weakling into an ath- lete, and a strong man may preserve con- siderable strength for many a long year even in the face of absolute physical excr- tion. The principal difference between a man who exercises his muscles and one who does not lies in the greater endurance of the former. A regular course of gym- nastics does, during the first weeks, in- crease the muscle power by a little, but the improvement socn ceases, and the size of the muscles changes very little.

The beneficial effect of gymnastics and of work shows itself principally in the greater staying power of the. muscles. The best means, Horvath thinks, for per- fecting the muscles and giving them the power to resist fatigue are oft repeated rhythmical contractions. He gives as a corroborative example of this theory the human heart, which, although it goes through these contractions consecutiwely during a whole lifetime, never tires or ceases its functions for a minute.
