What is known as the yellow
skinned or yellOw-mcated poultry is
prime favorite in the markets of this
country. To intensity and beautify
the richness of these colors, meal made
from yellow corn is largely used in
the process of fattening. For the
English market, which is largely
catered to by these packers, fowls
having the white color of flesh are pre-
ferred. To intensity and improve this,
ground oats, meal from white corn,
and some finely ground rice is made
use of. To add luster, finish and
quality to all these, "A small per cent.
of melted tallow is mixed into the
warm mash. and fed in semi-liquid
state the last four or five days of feed

The fattening of poultry with corn
adds fatty globules throughout the
entire carcass. A fowl that has been
fattened with corn is usually what
might be termed greasy meat, while
poultry finished or fattened in this
way lays on close or solid meat with
no globules of fat scattered through 1t.
Crate and machine fattened poultry
sells for the highest prices of any
poultry sent to market.

PACKING FOR MARKET.
In packing for market, square boxes
that will hold IL, "A and As chickens
are made use of. Fowls all of one
size and weight with the same ap-
pearance are packed in one box. This
plan is of great advantage in selling.
Farmers and country people generally
lose large amount of profit through
the carelessness in dressing and send
ing their fowls to market. When nice
ly graded and selected all of one kind
in package, both eggs and poultry

finest quality that makes the profit in

large packing houses, which handle
hundreds of thousands of fowls in this
way, aim to make of all they fatten.-

G0PHERS WIN IN DEBATE
IOWA TEAM DEFEATED BY MIN
NESOTA IN ANNUAL MEETING
LAST NIGHT.
A : tho and IF ono {

At the end of one of the most power
which a University of Minnesota team
has participated, Minnesota last night
secured the votes Of two of the judges
and won over the University of Iowa
team, for whom had been cast single

they have met of late. -.

All. things Tin e theg local world Of
vaudeville date from the annual engage
ment Of the Orpheum road show at the
Orpheum theater, and since this edition
de luxe Of modern vaudeville will make
it's first reappearance at the Seventh
street house tomorrow q fternoon there
is reason to regard the coming week as
the most eventful one for those who
follow the high varieties.
The Orpheum road show is the crea-
ton Of Martin Beck, general manager
Of the Orpheum circuit, and generally
regarded as the keenest judge of vaude-
vile in America It is his ripe expert
ence and personal Judgment that select
the features for each annual tour of the
Orpheum road show and in putting the
show out each year he invariably exc
icutes his determination to, make the
show an exemplifcation of the best in
vaudeville.
This year Lasky, sRolfe & Co. IS pro,
duction, Ye Colonial Septftte. in g An
Old Tyne Halloween, forms one of the
principal features. Ye Colonial Septette
shows one Of the prettiest novelties in
vaudeville in stage settings and access
cries in the way of costumes, songs,
dance and musical turns. It gives a
pretty picture, or rather three pictures,
neat story, and the contributors are
singers and instrumentalists Of unusual
merit. Among their especial numbers
is a cornet solo by B. A. Rolfe, a
sousaphone solo and brass sextette-
the famous one from s Florodora. = The
stage settings, after the old colonial
style, are pretty, and the costumes of
the characters set it off to great adj
vantage.
