Dry Picking Chickens.

Most markets require that picking
be done dry, Any one can become an
expert in this manner of picking with
little study and experience. As soon
as the bird has been killed and while
1t is still bleeding, the feathers should
be removed, care being taken not to
tear the skin. The picker should not
wait till the bird has bled, because
it will become cold then and the feath-
ers Will not be removed so easily.
Killing is generally done by sticking
the knife in the roof of the mouth.

Water for Rees.

Plenty of water is absolutely neces-

visit the camps of one of the big lea

in the morning, like the average busl.

through their PAGES sends them all

BITS OF INFORMATION

At least two observers, Messrs. F.
B. LoomiS and ]. A. Harris. have.
within the last two years, noted the
curious fact that the prairie dog and
burrowlng owl sometimes initiate, in
a most realistic way, the rattle OF the
rattlesnake. among whose dens they
are often found. When the owls are
disturbed they utter this warning
sound In such a manner that even
experienced horses are startled and
deceived by IT, Mr. Harris suggests
that this trick is intended as meas,
ure of self protection. Even young
birds, ne says, mako the same sound
when taken from the nests.-Nature
