MARKETING.
A considerable proportion of the
dressed poultry consigned to commits
sion-houses in large cities brings to the
producer a much smaller profit than it
would had it been dressed and packed
with greater skill In most of the
American markets fat fowls with a
yellow skin brings the highest price.
This condition may be secured most
cheaply by feeding grain ration COM
posed largely of corn for two or three
weeks before the fowls are slaughtered.
OF the more common grain foods there
Is none that excels corn for this pur-
pose.
The commission men and shippers,
who study in detail dressing and pack
ing. state that uniformly fine quality
will soon acquire a reputation among
buyers The shipper must always be
careful to have the product look as neat
as possible. In some of the large cities
ordinances prohibit the sale of dressed
poultry with food In their crops. In a
few instances the sale of live poultry
in coops which contain food is also
prohibited. In all cases II is best 10
withhold food from twelve to twenty
four hours before killing, but the fowls
should have plenty of water during this
time, that they may be able to digest
and assimilate food already consumed.
All fowls should be killed by cutting
through the roof of the mouth and
allowing them to bleed to death In all
operations of dressing avoid cutting or
bruising the skin or breaking bones.
Care is required in the case OF the
heavy fowls in picking and handling
to prevent bruising the skim In pack
ing fowls use neat, clean and as ngnt
packages as will carry safely. Boxes
or barrels holding about 200 pounds
meet these recuiremtns best; boxes are
better for turkeys and geese and barrels
for chickens. Barrels may be used,
however, for dry shipment as well as
