To Dress Chickens.
Kill by bleeding in the mouth. or

For ScaIding.
The water should be just below
the boiling point. The best way is
to pick the legs dry before scalding,
then take hold by legs and head and
immerse up and down a few times
until the feathers come nicely. If
the head is immersed, the. scalding
colors the comb M eyes and gives
the whole head a shrunken appear
ance, which is unpleasant and might
lead the buyers to suppose the fowl
had been sick. After removing all
the feathers, place in cold water for
ten or fifteen minutes, wash them off
nicely and hang up until animal heat
is all out, before packing for ship

Scalding can also be done if you do
not wish to save the feathers. Some
parties advise, after scalding, to-
wrap them in a blanket for the pur-
pose Of steaming. Be careful not to-
leave them wrapped too long, as it
may cook the flesh.
Poultry should not be drawn if
starved before killing, and will keep
better in that condition.
Dry Picking Turkeys or Chickens.
