First. then. let the carver plunge
the fork firmly into the breast OF the

the breastbone II he would operate
successfully.
Let him then cut off the wing near
est him, which IS done by passing the
knife underneath the socket and Is
easily accomplished II the bird be
young and tender.
Remove the leg on the same side In
the same IA pressing the bone
outward while making the tut. Sep
arate the first and second joints Of the
leg and next remove the side bone by
running the knife along the backbone
and close TO 1t. IL Is attached only
by n flament of skin and fat; hence
this task is not difficult.
Legs and wings being removed. the
slicing OF the breast is a simple mat
ter, and this opens the cavity, from
which filing may be removed with Il
spoon. The removal OF the leg usual
ly makes another opening. to be util-
lied in the same manner
