or even older IL the operator is careful
to make a thorough application. 1t is
better TO use the caustic on the calves
when they are young enough to insure
that the operation will be effective. and
this age is from three days to three
weeks.
In our work at this station we have
used the stick caustic potash or caus-
tic soda entirely, and in its use we
necessarily handle 1t with care, not
allowing it to come in contact with the
fingers, as it has burning or corrod-
ing effect and will take off the skin
very quickly. This can be prevented
by simply wrapping the end Of the
stick in piece of paper to serve as n
handle. In applying the caustic to the
head it is well not to allow the spot
to become too moist, as 1t will run
down the side of the head, making n
sore, removing the hair and leaving
a scar which may show, and then
there is danger of it running into the
eye, which would certainly cause
blindness. 1t would be well to have
some water standing close by, so that
the caustic could be dipped into it a
couple of times during the application.
In using the caustic thorough rubbing
is necessary, and insufficient rubbing
caused many failures. 1t is well to
rub until the skin over the horn COM

the crop and intestines. The fermenta-
ton of food In the crops and intestines
will wholly spoil the birds. Give a
small quantity of water just before
killing. Kill by wringing the neck and
not by knitting or sticking.
One dealer says the easiest and best
mode of killing is by the dislocation of
the neck. This manner of killing is
generally adopted by the English and
continental poulterers.
The method of killing turkeys In
Norfolk Is also recommended. II is as
follows: The bird is hung up by the
legs, the wings being crossed TO pre-
vent struggling. Next it is given a
sharp blow on the back Of the head
with stout piece of wood, which rem
ders Ii insensible. The knife is then
inserted into the roof Of the mouth so
as TO pierce the brain, cutting 1t along
the entire length. The bird Is left
hanging by the legs for a few minutes
to allow the blood to drain out. Pluck
at once, while still warm.
Twist the wings on the back of the
bird Gig. y. A string, which, however,
should not encircle the body, may be
used to keep them in place. AS soon as
the feathers are off hang the bird up
by the feet to cool. Do not lay 1t down
or hang 1t by the head. The blood
should drain toward the head and be-
come coagulated there One dealer says

POULTRY FOR SHIPMENT.

pciuzs of General Interest In Dress
ing and Packing.
In she poultry industry, as in every
other, attractive marketing is an i'm
p rtaut feature and one too often over
looked. The Canadian experiment sta
tions have devoted considerable atten-
tion 20 the poultry industry. Special
efforts have been made to learn the re-
qurements of the English market. In
a recent report of the Canadian COM
missioner of agriculture and dairying
the methods of dressing, packing and
shipping poultry for British markets
are discussed. Some of the directions
for shipping turkeys seem of general
application. Among the principal points
are the following:
Plucked turkeys are regarded as
more salable than unplucked. Fast the
birds for twentyfour hours to empty

Twin River.

1t is now understood that active
construction work on the Twin River
Water and Power Companys line
will begin within a month As al
ready stated, the project involves
piping water from the head of Twin
river in the Toyabe range to Tono-
pah, a distance of sixty-five miles.
Clearing away trees and brush, road
building. etc, has already begun. 1t
is calculated to use l2-inch pipe
from the reservoir, for Which there
is a fine natural site, to be utilized
by the construction of dam.
John c. Ralston of Spokane, the
engineer for the company, left Tono-
pah on Wednesday for the scene OF
operations, where he will direct the
corps of surveyors already there.
Mr.. Ralston had just paid visit to
Bishop in company with Governor
Adams, where they made locations
on the creek of that name for the
purpose of generating electric power.
The company's place of business is
at Carson, with l.. H. Rogers as
general manager, The plan is tC
supply Tonopah with 900, 900 gallons
of water per day, and the cost of the
system is estimated to be around
81 .000. 600.

The San Francisco Bulletin was

does not bear upon the good effect,

titled to the thanks of all for it,
laudable and appropriate effort.

After the ceremony few of the
brides most intimate friends gather

BUSINESS CHANGES

The eastern part of the business
portion of Canon City is growing very
rapidly, and two fine, new buildings
are being contemplated. One, the
new Baker Il Biggs building, which
will Join the RECORD block on the
east, and the new Coulter block
across Sixth street on the same side
of Main will add greatly to the ap-
pearance of that corner.
With the removal Of the Baker &
Biggs business to the new building a
large industry will be transferred
from the west to the eastern part OF
the city. For the past several years
the general trend of the business has
been east. and now it is the best
place in the city for business loca-
tions. Main street in Canon City
seems to contain most of the business
houses. Fifth street contains sever
al which have been built lately, and
other cross streets will doubtless soon
follow this example.

A CITY OF MUSIC

Canon City people are partial to
piano music. There is one Of these
instruments in nearly every house in
the city.
The week before Christmas one
firm delivered seventeen pianos to as
many different houses.
This is not the only thing Canon is
remarkable about, either. Too much
cannot be said about the delightful
climate. The days this week have
been just like those that are here in
the summer time. About all one can
hear on the street is isn't this fine
day? Just like summer weather"
