some of the most common types Of
cuts in badly bled chickens. A study
OF these illustrations indicates very
plainly why these chickens are badly
bled. The lower jaws from these heads
were removed so that the position of
the cuts could be noted. Head A has
had two cuts. One has run parallel
with the connection between the two
veins and very close to it but has not
cut 1t, and another has run from the
angle of the mouth too close TO the
point where the blood vessel on the
left side of the head breaks into the
two smaller vessels and penetrates
the bones of the skull. The only YES
sells which were cut in this chicken
plying the roof of the mouth and from
which the bleeding amounted to al
most nothing. Head b shows cut
In the right direction but it did not 20
quite far enough back to reach the
veins at their junction. Head A, In
the cut shows the cross cut which
is advocated by so many killers. In
this case it was made too far front.
Both of the large veins escaped and
only the small vessels of the roof of
the mouth were disturbed. "B" is a
good illustration of indiscriminate cut
ting by badly directed knife, which
in all probability was far too large,
since the upper cut extends all the
way across the roof OF the chickens
mouth and almost as far front as the
beak Another cut which partly fol-
lows the groove Ia the roof of The
mouth would indicate that the killer
had tried to make cross cut

bone and go into the inside OF the
skull. and into the deep tissue, where
they are quite safe from the killers
knife, II these large veins are to be
severed, the cut must be made far
enough back to reach them before
they penetrate the bones Of the skull.
On the other hand, If the cut is made
too far back and over the edge Of
the skull, as is shown in connection
with the illustration, much of the
blood will settle in the loose tissue
OF the neck instead of running out OF
the mouth, thereby clogging the YES
sells and preventing complete bleed
ing, as we'll as making unsightly dis
colored areas in the neck near the
head. set
Below is shown the position OF a
chicken ready for killing and held by
the feet in q U-shaped shackle. No
tice that the thumb of the killer is
pressed firmly down on the head lust
below and behind the ear in the space
to which attention was called when
discussing the bones of the skull.
Here, too, is the hinge of the Jaw.
Pressure OF the thumb on one side of
this portion of the skull and on the
other side at the same place with the
foreflnger, or with the foreflnger and
second finger, will result in opening
the chickens mouth. and holding it
open while the operator makes the
cut to bleed. Held in such fashion,
there Is nothing to obstruct the blood
vessels, thereby preventing the blood
from escaping even though these ves-
sells be cut,
The position of the knife In the
mouth, which is shown by the dotted
une. needs no further explanation. The
knife itself, however, is very differ
ent from. that ordinarily used in the
bleeding Of chickens. The knife in
common use is much too large, both
too long and. too broad for the most
successful work.
Intellectual cutting, due to lack of
knowledge of the structure of the
chickens neck and head, the use of
force rather than skill on the part of
the operator, and a knife i'll adapted
to the work which 1t has to do is Illus
trated by the cut above, which shows

odor of stale flesh and finally of pu-
trefaction comes sooner; and in every
way the product Is more perishable.
A very large proportion of the un-
slightly poultry in our markets aside
from the rubbing and tearing of the
skins, is caused by an incomplete re-
moval of the blood This is evidenced
by red dots which frequently occur
where the feathers have been removed,
especially over the thighs and wings,
or by the small veins which are seen
over the breast and in the angles OF
the wings, or larger veins, which mar
the appearance of the neck
Two sketches of chickens head
are here shown from which the lower
jaw has been removed. The lower jaw
of the chicken Is much longer than the
beak. 1t runs back to a point just
below the ear, where the hinged Joint
can be felt. The akin which makes
the corner OF the mouth and limits
the length of the beak ends is indi-
