Geo P White weight 1880 h. cost Sis ~ express freight
Mr.. White is one Of the largest poultry merchants
who make business of supplying this market Part
of the above was out of lot of fifteen hundred ur-
KEYS upon his farm in Chautauque County. Messrs.
Miller Harng & Co. will sell twenty-five tuns for him
this year. Mr.. Whites turkeys looked so remarkably
nice that we inquired how he dressed them. This Is
lis statement I" tie their legs and hang them by the
"heels and stick them to bleed to death. By the
time they are entirely dead have them plucked Of
the principal part of their feathers. They are then
dipped in hot water and finished. This leaves the
"skn whole, smooth and yellow, and the body
"plump." If to be sent directly to market, poultry
should not be frOzen-Ony cooled
This direction of Mr.. White should be remembered,
because his poultry always rank No. Ii much SO,
that poultry-men call him Professor White'-pro-
fessor of the art of poultry fatng dressing and pack
ing lie says it is important to feed poultry upon
proper food than is to feed pigs for good pork and all
farmers know that that is important
b. g. L. Beatty of Cayuga County are also very
large poultry merchants, and were present at the
conversation with Mr. White and fully concur in his
views Mr.. Beatty injured lot turkeys by feeding
them with buckwheat. The flesh was white aud not
20 rich as those fatted upon Indian corn.
The finest turkey we ever saw or tasted was fatted
in Louisiana upon Pecan nuts.
The cost of express freight from Auburn upon one
and hall tuns of Messrs. Beattys poultry sold on
Monday was 81 80 per cwt Their sales this year will
be six tuns in the time and gathered from the
same district where it was ten tuns last year. They
j
duction of the two years in that region We hope
farmers will BE induced to increase the product next
year.
ROW TO SELL POULTRY
Owners need not come themselves with their poultry.
In fact, generally speaking, they would do better to
stay at home.
One owner came here and was offered at the railway
station so much more than he expected that be hur-
redy closed the. bargain, congrauating himself that
he had saved the commission. SO he had; he sold his
turkeys for fourteen cents and after met neigh
Dor who had sold poor Tot for eighteen cents.
How i'll the world did you get it -
=. easy enough read The TRIBUNE"
The man that didn't read The TRIBUNE swore.
Another man who was reader was ntrusted with
large lot Of poultry to bring forward for the owner
At Erie he met very dsnteTested stranger, who told
him that the account printed in The TRIBUNE of high
prices had brought much poultry into market that
il could not be sold for enough 10 pay the freight.
Shortly after another stranger offered him eight cents
a pound and he took hun al the frs Offer and tele
graphed his owner the happy news that he had sold
the whole lot, a. he supposed TO a greenhern, and
got an answer that turkeys in great demand here
at eighteen instead Of eight cents. BE had not sold
rreelhor-he had met two sharpers.
