DIRECTIONS
For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.

For Preparing, Packing and Shipping
Poultry for the Boston Market.
Killing and Dressing.-Food in crop
injuries the appearance, is liable to
sour, and purchasers object to paying
Tor this worse than useless weight;
therefore, keep from food twelve hours
before killing. All poultry, but more
especially turkeys, should be killed by
bleeding In the neck, and picked while
Ghe body Is warm; and in no cas
should poultry be scalded; wet picked
poultry Is not wanted in this market,
and will not sell for what it is really
worth. AS soon as the poultry is
picked, take off the head at the throat,
strip the blood out of the neck, peel
back the skin a little, remove portion
of the neck bone, then just before pack
ing, except in warm weather, draw the
skin owe the end and tie and trim
neatly y. Draw the intestines, making
the incision as small as possible, and
leave the gizzard, heart, etc, in. Pull
out the wing and tail feathers clean.
Undrawn poultry can be sold to a
limited extent when there is no other
to be had, provided there is no food in
the crop, or entrails, but as a rule has
to go at very low prices.
Packing.-Poultry should be entirely
cold, but not frozen, before being
packed. If packed with the animal
heat in, it will be almost sure to spoil.
Sort your poultry carefully, and have
the No. 1 stock of uniform quality.
Pack the No. 2 stock in separate pack
ages. Ifyou have any old bull turkeys,
put them in a separate package or with
No. 3 stock. Line the boxes with clean
paper, but never use straw in packing
and wrap the birds in paper. Pack as
closely as possible, backs upward, legs
out straight. and see that the boxes are
SO full that when the covers are nailed
on, there can be no possibility of the
contents shifting about. Boxes are
the best packages, and should contain
from 100 to 200 pounds. Larger boxes
r inconvenient to handle, and more
liable to get injured.

DIRECTIONS FOR PACKING AND

Packing.-Be sure and have the two
divisions in each crate. Before putting
in eggs scatter some fine cut hay or
straw, bran, cotton seed hulls or oats
on bottom of crates or put in several
layers of paper. After putting In your
boxes of eggs fill in around sides n
on top with same packing SO that the

AS the Executive Committee have
ordered that all orders must have the
Alliance seal on them, brethren will
please observe that ruling, and when
making orders, be certain to have the

order sheets stamped with the seal, SO
that they can order. The rulings of
the Executive Committee must be

rent will be issued by the latter part of

Those brethren wishing to ship tur-
keys, ducks, chickens, or geese had
better have them In the best condition,
very fat, and hold till about the mid
die of December before shipping. The
following letter from our Boston house
of Nov. 9th, says:
Just received two boxes of elegant
turkeys, as fine as any from Vermont,
New York or the West, we know this
to be true as we had a pile of it today,
but the dressing knocked out at least
- per pound. The feet and legs
were taken off up to the first joint, and
they cut open at the neck to take
out crop, also a large hole was made
to draw them; ought to have been a
small hole to draw intestines, but it
was we'll picked. Go according to di-
rections and ship us ten Or twenty tons
of turkeys, chicks, fowls and ducks,
keep geese for Christmas. Received
two crates of eggs from Mr.. Barnes,
sold them at % cents-top price, same
as fancy Eastern. Let us have all the
poultry you can, but dress with legs
and feet on, headed all right, crops can
be left in if no food is in them, or IN
draw the intestines which will make
about one cent less. Ship every day if
you wish, al get top prices, but dress
with 1eet on" Express to Boston on
fowls exceedingly high. Find out cost
before shipping.
The brother who shipped the tur-
keys did not follow directions, conse-
quently he did not get full price. Fol
low directions OR do not ship. The
eggs shipped by Bro. Barnes was for
testing the market etc. He went on
the market and purchased from wag
ons just from Chatham county, he as
sorted, cleaned and packed by direc-
tions, only nine eggs reported broken
out of four crates and he received %
cents per dozen. no damaged eggs were
sent. Take pains in asserting, clean
ing and packing, and you will always
secure good prices. The great trouble
to those who have shipped is In the
packing. Bro. Barnes was told by the
parties he purchased the eggs from
that they paid in Chatham eight and
ten cents per dozen from them. 1t
packed, cleaned and assorted properly
and are fresh there will be no trouble
in getting top prices, and u Boston
man says, they are the finest eggs
ever seen from the South, and as soon
as the consumers learn that they can
get such eggs by asking for them they
will be in great demand and the prices
will be high. Ship me a loads OF
such eggs"
