Canadian Poultry and Eggs for the British Market.
VALUABLE INFORMATION FOR RAISERS AND DEALERS AND EXPORTERS OF POUL- TRY AND RGCS,
(From a Circular issued by John Dyke, Canadian Government Agent in Liver-
pool, G. B.)
Having paid considerable attention to the initiation and development of a trade between Canada and Great Britain, in poultry and eggs, I have arrived at the conclusion that a° very remunerative busi ness can be conducted if proper care be taken. This opinion is based upen a careful examination of nearly every con- signment made from Canada since Febru- ary, 1874, when, with the first shipment of fresh meat from the American Contin- ent, we had a ton and a half of poultry ;— and upon an intimate knowledge of the market here. With the view of extending this branch of export trade, [ propose to give the result of my enquiries, together with : ? THE PRACTICAL EXPERINNCE OF
FROM CANADA,
SHIPPERS
and also of the London and Liverpool! sales- men, who have. for many years, conducted an enermous trade from France, Holland, Belgium, Italy, and other parts of the Con- tinent. The value of peuliry imported into the United Kingdom from abroad in 1877 was upwards ef $1,600,000 being up- wards of $100,000 more than in 1876, and it is hardly probable that the present high prices would be seriously effected if these efferts were quadrapled. Shipments of Canadian turkeys to England have proved most remunerative, whilst those of fowls, ducks and gesse have also proved fairly successful. The
DIRECTIONS FOR FATTENING, as given by La Basse Cour, an eminent French journal, specially devoted to the in- terests of the poultry yard, to ensure white, plump poultry are as follows :—‘'To get good weight and a delicate color, only meal frem grain of the last year’s growth should be used in the fattening process, and the water employed for mixing the food sheold be salted in the proportion of six draclims or about one-third of an ounce to the quart. Further a small quantity of coarse gravel should be added to the paste made, so as to assist the bird’s digestive functions. Special care should be taken to keep them perfectly quiet, and not to vive them any heavy imeal for at least twelve hours before they are to be killed, so that the intestines may be empty at the time of death, and the acid ferinentation of their contents, which wenld otherwise ensue, avd which facilitates decempesition may be avoided. Poultry killed when digestion is going on will hardly keep for a week. By attention to the above directions, they may be preserved for a fortnight in mild wet weather, and for a long time when it is dry and celd.”
THE NECKS OF ALL POULTRY, should be breken close to the head, not cut. A slight incision may be made in the roof of the mouth to dislodge the blood, which would otherwise settle in the head and neck. They should then be placed in a position to thoroughly coel, eare being’ taken to arrange the feathers, for an at- tractive appearance is of primary import- ance. It is very important that all pouitry
FOR SHIPMENT TO GREAT BRITAIN
should be neither plucked nor drawn,
The feathers not only absorbe any moisture which may arise during the passage, but act as ths most natural
and at the same time most eflicient, nen- cenductors of heat. Nothing, in fact, will tend to the preservation of any bird more than its own feathers. Select young cock turkeys, the heavier the better. Cock tur- keys will realise at least 20 per cent. more than hens. If convenient arrangements |
can be made, shipping in refrigerator on beard ship is to be preferred. The packing should be in light wooden cases, not neces- sarily air-tight, about 7 feet long, 2 feet 6 incnes te 3 feet wide, and about a foot} high, to contain about a score in each case, | which should be marked with the weight! and sex of birds, to facilitate the sale to} dealers. Onno account should the heads | be placed under the wings. Place them as_ straight as possible in the cases, that they) may

breast downwards, thus avoiding sweating. | If it is impossible to obtain space in refrig- | erators, in cold, frosty weather, they may. be enveloped im newspaper and packed in
flour barrels, and shipped as ordinary | freight. No hay, straw, or any other arti-| cle which will heat or ferment, should be | used in packing. Several lots sent in this. manner kave arrived in excellent condition.
'Exporters to the London market from the
Continent and the West Coast of Ireland use a solution of permanganate of potash as a preventative of decomposition or taint The plan adopted is this—a piece of paper—or perhaps cetton batten would be best for Canadian shippers to use—is soaked in the solution and placed
in the mouth and vent of each bird. I should also recommend that the heads be wrapped in paper prepared in s similar man- ner.
FRESH ECGS.
The Canadian fresh eggs which have as yot arrived this season have net been of the sarno general good quality as in former years. [tis my duty to warn shippers that, if there be any doubt about the freshness they should on no account ship them. “The injury already done by not taking these precautions imay seriously affect the prices of Canadian fresh eggs at Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle and other centres of pop- ulation, this season. That they can be safely shipped is proved by the large ship- ments nade during the last three seasons by the same parties, PIKLED BGGS, I was much amused the other day when my attention was called to a shipment of pickled eggs from Canada—they were packed in the following manner :—placed rather loosely in Jayers of chopped straw, in a beer bar- rel, and then filled in with salt brine and headed up. No bill of lading accompanied them, and the commission agent had to pay freight and other charges. A letter arrived inferming the consiguee that other shipments would follow. The result may (easily be imagined. Upon opening the barre!s A TERRLBLE STENCH WAS EMITTED ; and not only did the unforiunate man lose the expenses advanced, but was threatened by the police with proceedings for creating a nuisance in the street in which the eggs were opened. Eggs pickled in this man- ner, | need hardly state, are uot required in England. The method of pickling, as generally followed in Canada, leaves noth- ing to be desired, but THE FOLLOWING SIMPLE PRECAUTIONS
must be taken to ensure successful transit to Great Britain, viz.: The eggs must he thoroughly dried ; then take a flour barrel, and place in it about three to four inches ef chaff, or finely cut hay, which has been previously dried in a kiln or oven. Com- mence packing the eggs flat, with large end towards side of the barre}, in circles, care being taken to keop at least 14 inches of chaff between the sides of the barrel and the eggs ; then place another layer of chaif, and repeat until the eggs are about 6 inches above the top of the barrel; they should then be pressed, and ‘headed in, and will arrive here with a wonderfully small amount of breakages. In this manner seventy dozen of egys can be placed in each barrel, and the freight on the same fvem places easy of access in the Provinces of Ontario and Quebec, will not exceed 2 cents per dozen, and the same from the Maritime Provinces. Unless the British salesman is personally known to the shipper, I strong- ly advise him to accompany the first ship- ment. 7p.
The War-Ship of the Future.
The acute German mind has already per- ceived the folly of building impregnable ships. The learned Prof. Loewenthal has become convinced that instead of building ships which cannot be pierced by the guns now in use, we should build ships which would offer the least possible resistance to cannon balls. Heclaims that the frigate of the future will be so comstructed that the balls of the enemy will pass directiy through her without inflicting any damage, and that she will attack her enemy not with guns, but with torpedoes. Herr Loewenthal selects for the material of his newly invented war vesssel India rubber of one foot in thiekness. The whole hull is to he made of India rubber, strengthened be- low the water line with a light steel frame. The vessel will be driven by an ordinary steam engine, and will have no masts. Atthe bow will be a projecting spar, to which the terpede will be affixed, and the entire crew including the helms- man, will be on the lower deck out of range of shot. When acannen ball strikes the India rubber ship, it will pass directly
' through it above the heads of the crew, and | the hole made by it will instantly close.
Paying no attention to such futile attacks, the India rubber vessel will steam toward her adversary and explode her torpedo. The doomed vessel will instantly sink, while her elastic destroyer will be driven hundreds of yards backward by the recoii following the explosion. Such a vessel,
says the inventor, could easily destroy all
the navies of the world, and after her work was done she could be made as strong as ever with the aid ef two or three bottles of cement.

A Secret Document.
A special despatch to the Halifax Herald
says :-~-The sympathy universally expressed \taking the precaution te arrange them)
by Her Majesty and all belenging to her in the continued murderous attacks which are made on the Czar’s life, is augmented now by the fact that a secret document, belenging to the Nihilists, has been found which leaves nota shadow of doubt that the Russian Emperor must fall. Under these circumstances, the greatest anxiety is manifested by the Queen and H. R..H. the Princess of Wales; during his visit. The Prince, however, ridicules the idea that any harm can befall him; nevertheless, those who are so devotedly attached to him have their fears for his safety.
Tue Northern Light reached Georgetown at six o'clock last night. She brought six pas- sengers and a quantity of freight.
