POINTS AS TO SELECTION

People are getting to be educated
along many lines up to a very fine
point. For instance, the United States
government has Just issued an expen-
sive circular letter telling people how
TO scientifically kill and dress turkey
for the big Christmas dinner. / sus-
pect that there are many old Virginia
cooks of the colored variety and other
wise who could give the government

turkey. but the government recipe. RS
furnished me by Joseph William King
horne. in charge OF the Virginia end
Of poultry investigation of the United
states Department of Agriculture, IS
interesting. Here it Is:
The most common way OF killing
turkeys is to hang them UP by their
legs and stick them with n knife in
the mouth, making one or two cuts
in the mouth while moving the point
OF the knife forward from the edge of
the skull
after sticking. the birds are Drained
BY running the point OF the knife under
the eye or into the roof of the mouth
in such a way as to strike the inside
Of the skull directly between the eyes.
The knife may be slightly twisted when
the point reaches the brain, the bird
properly Drained. after which the fcath-
ers pick easily.
The feathers are usually picked in
the following order: Flights. main tail,
back, sides, breast legs. and thighs.
Turkeys are usually dry picked and
shipped undrawn to market The long
wing feathers bring a good price on
the market. The methods Of killing
ana dressing turkeys and chickens are
practically the same.
In the Market Stalls.
Market poultry Is divided into sew
eral classes. which vary In different
markets. in general there is n class
called Chickens which covers all
chickens up to the age when the roast
ers get tough or shaggy which is
told by the growth Of their spurs,
which first appear as buttons, and tho
lack of feXibiIity OF the end OF their
breastbone or keel. After this age
cockercls arc usually classed as stays
or old cocks. Pullets may be classed
on the market as fowls after they be-
gin to lay, but are frequently classed
as chickens until they are one year
old.
Chickens are usually divided into
brolers., those Weighing under two and
one-half pounds; springs, Weighing
from two and one-half to three and

His Hand. :

Earl Cooper, said to be without a
peer as road race driver for the sea-
son uf 1915, is well on the way to re-
covery from the injuries incurred in
San Jose Cal, November "a. A cut in
the face and two broken bones in his
hand are the extent of his hurts and
his skill at the wheel will be in no
way impaired.
One of the most prominent of the
motor trade journals in America halls
Cooper as the greatest of the road
racing stars of the season and cites his
record of five firsts and one second in
six starts as the reason for awarding
the laurel. Throughout the years cam
paign, Cooper's car never was shod with
any other than Firestone tires.
The Californian's list of victories lie
as follows:

Cooper won his first victory in 1902,

In 1906 he was first in the Seattle meet
and he captured tlie three races of the
