CAN'T SHIP LIVE
TURKEY IN MAILS
Post Office Department Has Some
Protection Against Sending
Thanksgiving Dinners.

An admonition has been given out
by the local post office authorities to
senders and receivers of parcel post
packages with Thanksgiving dainties
enclosed. Perhaps all remember the
story of the oppossum, who was sup
posed to be dead and was going to be
sent to the president for his Christ
mas, but to tell the truth the oppos-
sum was only playing 'possum, and
then there was trouble with the vii
lage postmaster.
However, to come down to brass
tacks, it should be clearly understood
that no live game or live turkeys or
chickens can be sent through the
mail. Be sure that your turkey or
your duck isn't playing 'possum and
be sure that his little heart has stop
ped beating. To make certain of this
it Is a wise plan to stuff him before
you send him away, for a stuffed tur-
key seldom comes to life. A warning
is also issued as to the packing Of

of falling apart as the result of lit

POULTRY BULLETIN
HAS BEEN ISSUED
Wranins Is Given to Guard Against
Tendency to Monopoly Of Poul-
try Packing az In Other Lines.

In an effort to guard against a
tendency towards monopoly of the
poultry packing industry and to pre-
vent its falling into the hands of a
few big interests as has happened to
the beef packing industry, the depart
ment of agriculture has just issued a
warning to chicken raisers to give en-
couragement and support to local
poultry packing industries in all parts
of the country.
There is danger, poultry specialists
OF the department feel, that the poul-
try industry will become as highly
centralized as the beef industry in a
few distant packing centers," the de-
partment warns. an this event, just
as the farmer with few beef cattle
to dispose OF had to seek market
several hundred miles away Or deal
through local commission men or
agents who will buy live cattle, chick
en- raisers, unless local poultry dress
ing and refrigerating establishments
are maintained, will have to dispose
of their product for live shipment to
Chicago and other centers.
From the point Of view Of the con-
sumer, the department says, the
tendency to ship live poultry long
distances by rail is decidedly waste
full Poultry shipped four hundred or
five hundred miles, even under the
best conditions of transit, loses an
average Of thirty percent in weight,
the departments specialists compute.
Chickens that have travelled long dis
tances by rail reach the killing CEN
tiers in much worse condition than
those which are sent few miles, Be
sides the additional cost of feeding is
an important item.
The department specialists, there
fore. are encouraging dressed poul-
trv producers not to centralize their
slauehtering establishments. and In
stead of erecting one 100000 plant to
draw from territory with large
radius, are advising them to build in
