can only be done with the money,
and at the outset we want to tell our

PLAN FOR DEWEY AND MILES.

Friends Would Have Congress Provide
for Coronation Appointments.
Washington, Jan. 1.-Friends of Adj
miral Dewey and Genera Miles, Who
fear those officers may not be selected
to represent the army and navy at the
coronation ceremonies next summer. in
tend to have added to one of the appro-
priation bills a rider providing an allow
ance to defray their expenses on the oc-
%casion. In this way, by specifically pr
yiding that the money is available to
meet the expenses incurred by the adj
miral of the navy and the general COM
manding the army, their friends hope to
insure their selection, as the money can
not be used by others. This is a form Of
coercion which, If successfully engin-
eered thru congress, would likely meet
indignant resentment upon reaching the
president.

The manner of killing Ia an interest
ing sight, but Is one that an extremely
tender-hearted person would not care to
witness. The birds are not fed for
twenty-four hours prior to killing, i'll or
der that their craws will be empty when
killed. A craw that is filled means that
the grain that the bird has fed on will
sour, and thus faint the meat. Most
people think that the birds are drawn
after they are killed. but such is not the
case. Their internal mechanism is left
as nature made it, 1t having been found
that the meat keeps better when there Is
no air allowed to touch the interior OF
the birds than it does If they are drawn.
The birds are taken from their pens by
the pickers, hung by both legs to a short
rope, and fastened to the ceiling. With
6 small, keen knife blade they are stuck
thru the lower part Of the mouth. the
blade ranging upward and penetrating
the brain, which means instant death.
This is done so quickly that the birds do
not suffer at all, and it is the work OF
only a few moments before the fowl is
ready for the cooling room. There is an
other object in touching the brain with
the knife. 1t has a tendency to release
the feathers, which are removed almost
entirely, with the exception of the wings
and tail, by the simple rubbing OF the
hands, slightly moistened, over the bird.
For the picking the men receive 21a
cents for young chickens. 2 cents for old
chickens and 8 cents for turkeys. All
the pickers average between SIS and $40
per week. and some Of the better ones
are able to earn s25.
The demand for chickens, turkeys and
other classes of poultry by the local
dealers ana market men is great enough
to create lively competition, and the
highest prices may be obtained for all
kinds Of marketable poultry. The es-
t~ablishment of these houses in Mar
shalltown is of growing benefit to the
poultry raisers, large and small, and to
the city. There fs always a market for
this product, and for butter and eggs.
or course the poultry business. at this
eeason OF the year, Is the big end OF the
business, but. that is not the only mar
ket that is afforded country people by
these institutions. In the summer time
the butter and egg business Is big, and is
carried on on the same extensive scale
as is the poultry business during the
winter months.
Manager E. L. Stultz, of Armour g.
Co., says that all he has to complain of
is that the building they are in is entire
" too small to accommodate the busi-
ress. and that by next year he hopes to
have better facilities. Manager NJ. c,
Beaver, Of Swift & Co, a v his firm is
very we'll pleased with the business Of
the first aso in Marshalltown and
that plans are being made to do busi-
l,ess on a much larger scale next year.

A New Years Poem.

New York, Jan. 1.-The Forthcoming
number of the Independent will print q
poem by Alfred Austin, poet laureate OF
England, entitled Together" and dedi-
Gated with the Warmest Sympathy to
the American People" Following are
the two closing verses which speak the
best sentiment of the poem:
Should envious aliens plan and plot
'Gainst one and now the other,
They swift would learn how strong the
knot
Binds brother unto brother.
How quickly they would change their
tack
And show the recreant feather.
Should Star and Stripe and Union JACK
But loaf mas high together!
Nov let us give an hearty grip
AS by true men is given,
And VOW fraternal friendship
That never shall be riven;
And, with our peaceful flags unfurled.
Be fair or foul the weather.
Should need arise, face all the world,
And stand or fall together"
