FAT ON A FOWL

is why lots Of people can't eat ducks

and less easily digested, there being
much less lean meat in proportion to
the fat. Most Of my customers are now
willing 20 pay what good turkey is
worth. understanding the difference.
What is the difference? Why, there
are few rules that must be observed.
For at least six days before killing
bArnynrd fowls must be coOped. not
huddled. have good, clean space
and be well fed on corn for at least
five days. Then for twenty-fOur hours
before killing they should he fed on
skinned milk or soft boiled rice. The
night before the killing the turkey
must have plenty of water. but no

Lack OF Air and Water
II is by indirect methods Of observa-
ton that scientists learn OF the alb
sence OF atmosphere In the moon.
There are various arguments that can
Zoe adduccd. but the most conclusive Is
that obtained ON the occurrence OF
what is called the occultation OF a
star. 10 sometimes happens that the
moon comes directly between the earth
and star. and the temporary extinc-
ton OF the latter Is an occultation. We
can observe the movement when II
takes place, ami the suddenneSs of the
extinction OF the star Is extremely re-
markable. II the moon had a copious
atmosphere. the gradual interposition
Of this would produce a gradual ex-
tincton OF the star and not the sudden
phenomenon usually observed.
This absence OF air and water from
the moon explains the peculiar and
weird rusgedncss OF the lunar scenery.

snow is constantly tending To wear
down our mountains and reduce their
hard outlines. but uo such agents are
