This is a question where the value of

Preparation of Fowls for Cooking.
A fowl raised In the barnyard is not
fit to eat II killed directly from there.
1t should be kept in coop (kept for
this purpose alone) for several days
and fed on nice clean diet, such as
milk, bread, corn, plenty of fresh wa
ter and gravel. 1t seems to me can
detect the scents from the barnyard
while the fowls are cooking, II cooked
without the above method being fol-
lowed, says writer in the Epitomist.
It is also very important that the pens
be kept Glenn. for in very short while
the birds will become as unclean as
the barnyard. 1t is, therefore. neces-
sary to have two or three pens and
only put up enough for one meal in
each pen at time. When a fowl is
killed 1t should be hung up to bleed
well before 1t is dressed, then soaked
after 1t is dressed) in one-half gallon
of cold water with about a handful OF
salt in water: II only for q quarter of
an hour. the fowl will BIO improved.
