and legs and immense, and lift up and down
three times; If the head Is immersed 1t turns
the color Of the comb and gives the eyes
shrunken appearance, which leads buyers to
think the fowl has been sick; the feathers and
ID n feathers should then be removed imme-
diately, very cleanly, and without breaking
the skin; then ''plump" by dipping ten sec
onds in water nearly or quite boiling hot,
in cool place until the animal heat Is en-
tirey out. To dry-pick chickens properly
the work should be done while the chickens
are bleeding; do not wait and let the bodies
get cold. Dry picking is much more easily
done while the bodies are warm. Be careful
and do not break and tear the skin.

lNOTE-Care should be taken in packing and
shipping: country shippers and dealers are in
the practice of sending roll butter to this mar
keith every conceivable package including bar
rels, pine boxes, etc. The above named pack
ages should be entirely avoided, as pine will
have tendency to affect and flavor the but
ter, while barrels are too large and not easily
handled, besides the weight brushes the roll.
New tubs or hardwood boxes are the most de-
sirable, while half barrels or kegs will do
equally as well. and these only should be used.
Care should also be taken before putting the
butter in packages, that all the sides and ends
of the package be lined with new white mus
lin, thus keeping the butter from DETACHMENT
by touching the wood. Another bad practice
is in putting the butter up in paper; this
should not be done, as the paper sticks to the
butter and damages the appearance. Each
roll should be separately placed in piece of
new muslin cloth washed in warm water to
take out the starch, and thoroughly wet in
good brine. The rolls should also be of mod
crate size and not too large. Then again, the
rolls should be of uniform color. not packing
the light and fresh-made with other that has
been colored.
