Polly Larkia.

Any one who is blessed with very
sensitive and sympathetic nature should
never pass along the streets where poul-
try dealers are receiving and dispatch
ing coop after coop of chickens and
other poultry, unless they want their
peace of mind destroyed and their
hearts filled with Indignation. If cir
cumstances are such that they are COM
PEELED opass by these places of business
day after day, the chances are they will
lose much of their sweet disposition
and harbor thoughts that would not
harmonic with the three graces-
faith, hope and charity" In the
first place, there is law for the protec-
ton of chickens from thirst and hunger
and unnecessary rough handling, but
you haven't bit of faith that the
poultry dealers will pay any attention
to it. In the second place, knowing
these people as you do and their slack
way of looking at these everyday occur
rences, which amount to positive cru
city, you haven't grain of hope for
anything better. Charity, you have
none. If you ever had any towards
these people it has vanished long since.
So, in this particular phase of life, faith,
hope and charity" don't figure. Polly
never has to pass by these places that
my blood don't boil with indignation,
and l am sure to have thoughts that
are altogether uncomplimentary to the
men in this business. Here comes
wagon with seven or eight coops
crowded with geese, chickens, ducks or
turkeys, as the case may be. Rattling
over the rough stone pavements is bad
enough, but that is unavoidable. The
wagon is backed up to the sidewalk
with force that you would think the
awful jar would not leave live bird in
the cages. Then coop after coop is
dropped to the sidewalk with bang
that leaves them painting, bruised, and
frightened nearly to death; but the
torture is not over. Off comes the Stats
and they are grabbed by the wing or
leg and torn out of the coop and handed
squawking to man near by, who
holds them in this cruel way until he
gets his dozen, and then they are hus-
tied down stairs into a dark cellar and
put in coops prepared for them. 1t
does Polly world of good when some
motherly old hen resents the rough
handling and gives vicious peck at
her tormentor's hands that brings the
blood. 1t is altogether unnecessary to
be as cruel as these italian poultry
dealers are. Most of them are of that
nationality, and their one thought is
haste and the almighty dollar. They
seem to be devoid of common humanity
Many of them belong to the class
known as dagoes, and you don't expect
anything better from them.

One OF the greatest acts of cruelty,
however, is allowing coops of chickens
to stand in the broiling sun all day
with not drop of water or food. The
chances are that they have been sent
from some interior town, and have pos
sibly been without food or water for
three or four days. Parched with thirst
every fowl in the coop is painting with
wide-open mouths, as if begging for a
drop of water to appease their thirst.
1 have seen them struggling to get to
the edge of the cage and pushing their
heads through the Stats would bury
their bills in the mud and remain that
way until you would expect them to be
suffocated. 1t seems to Polly that here
the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals should step in and include
poultry in the list of their good work.

Sick chickens, well chickens, lame
chickens and blind chickens all go into
the same cage, although the rough han
ding causes much of the lameness and
broken legs and wings. They are jerked
out of the coop in a way that makes
the feathers fly, and not infrequently,
if it does not break their legs or wings,
disjoints them. But what of that?
The lame and the not altogether healthy
and plump-looking chickens are sold to
the cheap restaurants and tamale deal
ers. 1t would make you shudder to see
some of these fowls that are sold to
these places. There isn't housekeeper
who raises chickens for her own table
but would have the poor, sick chicken
killed and thrown over the fence; or, if
unusually careful, would have the car
cass buried for fear of the other poultry
being infected. Another thing that
one sees frequently in these places is
the fowls that have not been sold and
have lain in pickle for goodness knows
how long. Suddenly some cheap res
taurant keeper has a demand for chick
EN- dinners, possibly for chicken salad
for some entertainment; out comes
these chickens, looking blue and green
and yellow, and they are sent off by
the basketful. They are sight to be-
hold, and repulsive is no name for
them. 1t takes all your appetite and
fondness for chicken away for many a
long day. You don't even want to hear
the name of chicken or turkey.
During the winter season when so
many dressed chickens and turkeys
are shipped from the interior, as well
as whole carloads from the East, for the
holidays, is another trying time for all
poultry lovers. l have seen dressed
turkeys piled up on the street several
feet deep, and you can rest assured they
were not the choice pick of the consign-
ment, but the majority of them were
bruised and torn in a way that would
make you turn your head away in
disgust. Knowing the way of the poul-
try world in our markets, it makes one
very wary of calling for chicken unless
it is in an entirely up-to-date restaurant
and even then you are rather shy OF
chicken fricassee.
