PICKING CnICKENs TO MUSIC.
Customs of the Italian Poultry Deaf
ers of san Francisco

The sailor has his musical shanty, 10
which he keeps time as he trots about
the capstan until the svchor is hoisted
TO the peak; the farmer trills a lay TO
tighten his labors Us he pitches hay
into a wagon; and th,s songs are ia
mlliar to many: but whoever heard or
say Il gang of Italian chicken-pickcrs
sing and denude owls to the time Of
the musicI
Such a scene IAN be witnessed any
Friday evening at the Clay Street mar
ket, while the employees of the big
poultry houses that have their places
Of business there are preparing for
sale the chickens that the housewife
buys for the Sunday dinner.
The men seat themselves in a half
circle and each takes a fowl. One
stroke OF a sharp knife across the
throat puts the unfortunate squawking
broilcr out of its misery. and then the
foreman of the gang starts the song
AS they catch the air and the time the
others chime in, and in an instant the
plucking begins. With rhythmic mo-
ton the nimbiA fingers grasp the
feathers and pull them out during all
the time Of the soIg.
Feathers hy in all directions, but the
song goes on until the last ~pin-feathers
are removed and the ~carcasses are
tossed into a pile, ready for the man
who puts on the finishing touches and
prepares them for the inspection OF
prospective purchasers.
The rapidity with which a chicken Il
stripped Of Its feathers il astonishing
to the unlnitiated who has tried it but
a few times, and so adept have these
men become that they finish their fowls
almost simultaneously, and the process
is repeated in unison. Three dozen
birds is not considered a heavy nights
work for one man. and when pressed
for time they manage to compass even
more than that.
