BY F. A. SOFTER.

The majority of failures in this
business are due to tho fact that most
breeders do not start off with prop
originated stock. They have either
bought cheap stock, or else having
paid enough for good birds, they have
been swindled by dealers.

the bird hung by the 'eet head down
ward between two nails driven closely
together. A sharp pointed knife in

The bird must be thoroughly bled
before picking, or else the blood will
CONCEAL in spots under tho skin where
the hand Of the picker touches It, and
the bird will become "blistered," as
the breeders term it, and it's value
greatly reduced.
Wing and tail feathers should be
pulled first, then the mock, back and
breast, care being taken not to tear
the skin anywhere. as torn squads
spoil the appearance Of the shipment.
After picking, tho bird should be
allowed to cool In ordinary cool wa

then be thoroughly washed. tho crop
cleaned out, and place in tub Of ice
water until frozen, then they are ready
for packing.
Pack in a clean box or barrel. Line

The White Whale.

The white whale, or beluga. is an
arctic cetacean and closely allied to the
narwhal. 1t Is pure white in color,
twelve to eighteen feet long. whalelike
in form, with a huge muZzle and nu-
merous sharp conical teeth.
The white whale swims with ex-
traordinary speed by doubling its huge
tail under its body and then striking
out with 1t. Scientists who have stud
led 1t In it's natural environs say that
1t is able to catch the swiftest of fish
es, often pursuing its prey far up the
northern rivers. 1t is gregarious and
may be seen at times in herds of forty
or fifty.
These herds not infrequently gambol
around boats in the arctic seas, and
the natives of Greenland often capture
them vita harpoons or nets. The flesh
of the white whale, in fact, is con
siderable source of food supply to
them. From it also is derived one Of
the finest grades of commercial oil
