brought to a class of customers
who are fastidious. If they are not
dressed in a manner to render them
attractive they will not purchase
them. For fowls to present their
best appearance they should not be
dressed more than one day before
they are exposed for sale. The APP
pearance OF beef, pork and mutton
is not injured by their hanging sew
eral days in a suitable room. But
fowls, especially turkeys and chick
ems, commence to look uninviting
shortly after they axe dressed. Ma
ny marketmen are so we'll aware of
this that they do not ordinarily
dress fowls till they are ordered by
customers.
1t would be greatly to the advan-
tage of producers, shippers, deal
ers and consumers if this practice
of sending fowls to market alive
became general. TO accomplish the
desired end, however, it will be
necessary to have cars constructed
expressly for the purpose OF carry
ing fowls, as they now are tor
carrying various kinds of live stock,
The poultry cars should be pro-
vided with five or six floors, 50 that
the birds could stand upright with
out discomfort. Ample provisions
should be made for ventilation, and
means should be provided for sup
plying food and water. With cars
built expressly for the purpose, the
expense Of shipping given weight
of fowls would be but little greater
than for an equal weight OF hogs.
sheep or beeves. On arriving at
the point OF destination, the birds
should be let out in spacious yards.
a part of which should be allowed
to recuperate before they are killed
This would greatly improve then
appearance and condition, and ado
much to their market value. Fowls
shipped hundred miles OF more
are in no condition for the market
when they arrive at it. They
should be allowed rest to recover
frosa the failure OF the jourc cy, and
food that will cause them TO iattcn
rapidly, At present no farm pro
duct is marketed with so poor adj
vantage to all parties interested as
poultry,

Marketing Poultry.

Experience shows thatlt is ordi-
narily best to ship beeves and hogs
alive. Still dressed hogs and beef
do not rank among perishable arti-
cles because they may be cured
and packed ifthere is little demand
for them in fresh condition. There
are greater advantages in shipping
live fowls than live hogs and beeves.
The former require as much care in
dressing in order to meet the de-
mands at the market az the latter.
Much of the poultry that comes to
market is dressed so poorly that it
is said for less than its real ualue. |
AS much skill is required to dress
poultry properly as to dress hogs
md beeyes, Fowls are chiefly.
