KILLING DUCKS FOR MARKET
Two Good Methods Are Being Sue
eessfully Used BY Some q the
Largest Raisers.

There are two methods az dressing
ducks for market. by dry picking and
by scalding. Both Of these methods
are good and are being successfully
employed by the largest raisers. Some
have a preference for dry picking
and others for scalding. and Il be-
comes only matter OF taste which
method Is used when birds are
dressed by scalding. they should be
dipped several times. or until the
feathers come out easily. The back

wing the tail feathers and the feath-

not drawn.

knife being dull and the other being
sharp-pointed and double-edged for
bleeding The bird Is taken between
the knees, the bin held open with the
left hand. and a cut made across the
roof OF the mouth just below the
EYES. The bird is then stunned by
striking It's head against a post or
some hard substance. The picker
seats himself in the chair with the
bird in his lap. IT'S head held firmly
between one knee and the box. The
feathers are carefully sorted while
picking: the pinfeathers are thrown
away and the body feathers with the
down are thrown into the box. Care
should be taken about this. as the
feathers from each bird will weigh
about two ounces and Will quite pay

and this should be done without tear
ing the skin The down can usually
be rubbed OF by slightly moistening
the hand and holding the skin tight.
often some OF the pin feathers can
not be taken out without tearing and
disfguring the skin. when such is the
case they should be shaved OF. Seven
or eight minutes is all the time neces-
sary TO dress a bird.
After the birds are picked they
should be carefully washed and
pumped by placing in tank or bar
rel Of ice water They are hardened
in this ice water and given a round
ed and full appearance
They are then packed in barrels
or boxes and shipped to market The
first or bottom layer is packed with
backs down layer Of ice is then
placed over them. and all other lay
ers are packed with the breasts

layer of duckl The top OF the box
or barrel Is then rounded OF with ice
and covered with burlap. A barrel
will hold about three dozen birds.
Some raisers use boxes for shipping
and have the empues returned free.

The size Of the egg is chiefly con-

layers OF large eggs. In number OF
tests at experiment stations slight diff

noted with varying rations and en-
