DRESS SQUADS FOR MARKET
After Penetrating Brain With Sharp
Knife Bird Is Allowed to Bleed
Thoroughly.

(By MICHAEL X. BOYER, New Jersey
One-half dozen or more squad are
hung on the rack at one time. The
wings of each are then locked. which
is done by drawing the wings closely
together in the back, allowing one
wing to overlap the other. It holds
them firmly and causes no pain.
The mouth of the squad is held open
with the thumb and first finger Of the
left hand, the head and shoulders be-
ing held in the left hand. With knife
in the right hand the blade is inserted
through the crown of the head, pene-
trating the brain.
At once the operator releases his
grasp and allows the bird to bleed
thoroughly before starting to pluck the
feathers.
BY the time about half q dozen OF
the birds have been stabbed the first
killed has bled sufficiently to be ready
for picking. The squad is then re-
moved from the rack and held in the
hands while plucking the feathers.
This method is said to be the most
rapid, it being found that from 100 to
$50 squad can thus be dressed In q
day by a good operator.
Some pigeon men believe in holding
the bird while killing, but it has been
proven that birds held do not bleed SO
thoroughly as when hanging, owing to
the fact that the hand more or less
congresses the fine veins, thus retard-
ing the flow of blood.
When bird is not sufficiently bled
it shows itself in blisters. These bills
tiers are red blotches that form on the
backs of the birds, and which develop
by the time the carcasses reach the
market.
Fresh water should be given twice
daily, but only the very best Of grain.
Avoid damaged stuff.
Do not fail to bear in mind that the
profit is derived only from the mated
pairs.

BULBS ARE PROFITABLE
Very Little Attention Is Required
After Planting
Most Brilliant and Gorgeous Of Sum
mer-Flowering Plants Are GiadIoli
Succession May Be Secured
for the Summer.

Any smart woman, with a bit OF
ground, near large city, can make
money growing bulbs for market.
The summer Towering bulbs require
little attention after planting.
The Gamma, caladium, tuberous-root-
ed begonia, dahlia and gloxinia all re-
quire to be started in March for the
best results.
Many of the beautiful dark-colored
cannas produce both fine foliage and
flowers.
In starting bulbs to be used for
hedges, use long, narrow boxes, allow
ing for only one row, and when ready
to transplant, pull the boxes apart
and slip out the bulbs without disturb
ing the roots.
Many Of our bulbs can be planted in
the open ground.
The most brilliant and gorgeous OF
our summer-fowering bulbs are the
gladioli, and these should be planted
out in the garden at intervals Of two
weeks from the middle of April until
the middle of July, thus securing a
succession of bloom for the most of
the summer.
The tuberose and tigredia are both
beautiful summer-fowering bulbs that
can be planted where they are to
grow.
In buying bulbs it is true economy
to buy the best, securing them of for
lists who have them in proper storage.
Their Towering period may be hast
ened or retarded at will, thus timed
for special occasions or for a success
sion.
The chief reliance for this purpose,
either in professional or amateur cul-
ture, centers in the various classes of
hyacinths and narcissus. and the list
is being yearly extended by new vari-
cites.
Bulbs should have a rich, mellow
soil Of garden loan. sand and ferti-
lizer. This soil should be prepared
some time before, as fresh fertilizer
causes rapid and unhealthy growth
and often decay.
It is important that your bulbs
should be planted as soon as possible
after they are received, as the mois-
ture which they contain evaporates
rapidly, and with it goes much of
their vitality.
In planting the bulbs see that both
ends Of the bulbs are sound. If Ell
Their end is unsound the bulbs will
not grow, as the plant sprouts from
one end and the roots from the other.

Breeding Immature Ewes.

A good many sheep owners practice
the plan Of breeding eve lambs,
which is a poor practice from any
standpoint. These immature ewes
cannot be reasonably expected to pro-
duce strong, vigorous lambs and sup
ply animals that will make good
growth and develop into profitable
feeders, and at the same time reach 9
desirable degree Of development and
maturity themselves.
