THE BUSINESS
FARMERS CORNER
OBTAINING AND DRESSING MAR
KET POULTRY.
By E. ]. LAMBERT.

Poultry Instructor X. /. State College
The best poultry markets call for
chickens with yellow shanks and flesh
full, round breasts and plump, meaty
bodies. The market qualities of any
flock may be improved from year to year
by careful selection of the breeding birds
The average chicken is usually at its
best when around six months of age
having reached normal growth. Their
market condition is often improved by
eaging birds two weeks before killing
and feeding fattening rations composed
OF cornmeal moistened with milk No
matter whether they are especially fat
tened or not, care must be taken as to
the quality OF their food Tainted meat,
fish or pungent favored vegetables, such
as onions or garlic, injure the quality
of market poultry.
The last meal should be fed twelve
or twenty.four hours before killing. The
crop is then devoid of food and intes-
tines nearly empty. The best markets
demand dry picked poultry, and scalded
stock is usually sold at low prices, be-
cause it is disfgured and the keeping
qualities injured The best method OF
killing is to suspend the bird by stout
cord, slipnoosed around the shanks, and
hanging the body mead down at a con-
venient angle for picking. With bill
let of hard wood give the bird a quick
rap on the head so as to stun it, open
the mouth, inserting a sharp knife well
up into the roof, far enough back to
pierce the brain. Turn the blade half
over, cutting across the top of the mouth
just back of the skull, so as to cause pro-
fuse bleeding. Then grasp the wings
with one hand and with the other begin
to pick feathers from the breast and
parts of the body where the skin is ten
der and easily torn. As soon as the
bird ceases struggling both hands will be
free to remove feathers. Pick clean with |
the exception of head and the short |
feathers on last joint of wing tips.
When the weather is warm as soon as |
birds are. picked clean they should be
immersed in cold or iced water until all |
animal heat is removed before they are |
packed for shipment. During winter, if |
they are hung in cool room for two |
lours after the operation they will then |
be in shape for market.

Ashland realize they are on trial, and
business men of Ashland, who have guar

interest in the success of their farmer
friends. The old spirit of suspicion and
misunderstanding has disappeared, which
formerly existed between rural and city
residents, and banks are extending credit
accommodations to farmers who year

Kicker Squelched.

A woman who travelled a great deal
in the West was known as the most in
veterate Kicker" a certain hotel had
ever known.
One evening after she had been served
with dessert, this lady, who was always
complaining, asked the waiter why the
dish served her was called "ice cream
pudding"
IF you don't like 1t, ma'am, Ill bring
You something else" suggested the po-
lite negro.
20, it's very NICE" responded the lady.
"What | object TO is that it should be
called ice cream pudding. It's wrongly
named. There should be ice cream
served with it."

WOULD BENEFIT THEM
To Improve the Everglades, Says vii
liam II. Heine.

Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 2l.- William
II. Heine OF Fort Lauderale, Fla, in an
address last night before the sixth an
nual convention of the Atlantic Deeper
Waterways association, declared that
the improvement Of the Florida Ever
glades would increase freight tonnage Of
that section approximately 100000 train
loads of 30 cars each, yearly.
Florida, he said, already had complet-
ed four great canals at cost of 81
100000 and was preparing to construct
others. All of these canals are destined
to be used for transportation, Mr. Heinc
said, and several Of them would con
meet with the proposed inter.coastal wa
terway that the association was urg
ing.
Mr.. Heine's address featured the night
session of the convention and completed
a day rich in suggestions for the ad-
vancement OF the work of the associa-
ton. There were many addresses on
variety of subjects, chief among them
being the relation of water transporta-
ton to the high cost of living.
This subject was discussed by Eugene
WI Fry Of Philadelphia treasurer OF
the Southern transportation Co. Mr.
Fry pointed out how agricultural prod
ucts and other necessities could be trans
ported from the farms to the markets
in the cities much cheaper than by rail.
This, he said, would prove to be one OF
the main items of freight for the pro
posed inter-eoastal waterway.
Other suggestions came from Senator
/ Of 81 If 10
dent of the Mississippi to Atlantic Wa
terway association. He took for his
topic the Advancement of that project
in connection with the Atlantic inter
coastal route.
Representative ]. Charles Lnthicum
of Maryland talked on the Canal Ap-
proaches to Baltimore" with particular
reference to the inter-coastal waterway.

mer member of Congress- discussed Go

chief of the bureau OF foreign and do.
mestic commerce, talked on "Waterways

Mr.. Heine began his address BY de-
elaring that a wrong impression regard
ing the Everglades existed in the minds
of most people.
lit is asserted" said Mr., Henc, that
the Everglades viii produce annually,
go tons OF sugar per acre, and there are
100000 acres. Three million times 60
tons. or ls0,000,000 cons represent the
tonnage that the Everglades will fur

IS seminaries, located in various parts
of the country.
There are also $50 colleges and
academies for boys and 6S4 academies
for girls where the higher education
of our Catholic youth is given ser-
GUS attention. The number of acad-
cmics for girls, is OF course, larger
than the number Of colleges for men
and boys but the number of men and
boy students is much larger than girl
students.
One of the features Of the Directory
which will give food for thought is
the table giving the statistics Of the
parochial schools. According to the
figures which have been supplied by
the Diocesan Chancery officials there
are 1856 parishes which have par
ocljal schools connected with the
churches. In these $3.50 schools L.
36O.76l boys and girls are receiving
their elementary education. Further
more it must be borne I'M mind that
in many rural districts. where. par-
, ochial schools cannot DC organized,
! due provision is made for the religious
| instruction of youth. With this in
mind the fact that 1,3GO,76l children
are attending the parochial schools
| will stand out more sharply. -.
II must also be remembered that
there are a7.415 orphans in our or
pfan asylums and adding together the
number Of pupils in parochial schools,
i'll orphan asylums, detention schools.
| institutes. academies. high schools and
coll eges. it will be found that there
are 1.59S,s1G young people under
j Catholic care in the United States.
The most important item in connec-
ton With the table of statistics, is Of
course the population item. and Jo-
seph II. Meier, the editor of kcnedys
