ELECTRICAL COOKER IS NEW
Device Is Cylindrical In Form, With
Several Compartments Arranged
One Above the Other.

By FRED c. PERSON. Colorado Agri-
cultural College)
A new electrical cooker" Is now
upon the market. This cooker is cyl
indrical in form. with several cooking
Compartments arranged one above the
other In the lower part of the cooker
is a flexible pressure plate above q
basin of water The current being
turned on vaporizes the water as the
heat increases until certain pressure
is reached; this automatically opens
the circuit. thus shutting off the cur
rent Since the walls of the cooker
are made OF non-conducsing material
the cooking continues under the IRE
less principle. Wher the cooling has
reached a certain point condensation
has reduced the pressure and the cur
rent is in use only part of the time;
this gives an economical use of cleo
tricity.

Correct Grasp Of Head at Angle Of Jaw
and Position Of Small Knife When
Cutting Vein.

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 it. 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 penetratas
the bones of the skull. The only yes
sells which were cut in this chicken
were the small superficial veins sup
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 60
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 root OF
the mouth were disturbed. "B" Is
good Illustration OF indiscriminate cut
ting by a badly directed knife, which
in all probability was far too larae.
since the upper cut extends all tho
way across the roof OF the chickens
mouth and almost as far front as the
beak. Another cut which partly fol
Jews the groove In the roor Of the
mouth would indicate lat the killer
had tried to make 4 q Be cut.
Belington progressive. [volume] (Belington, W. Va.) 1912-1927, 1914-04-16

bone and go into the inside Of the
skull, and into the deep tissue, where
they are quite safe from the killers
knife III 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. II 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 ves-
sells and preventing complete bleed
ing, as we'll as making unsightly dis
cofored areas III, the neck near the
head.
Below is shown the position Of a
chicken ready for killing and held by
the feet In U-shaped shackle. Mo-
tice that the thumb of the killer is
pressed firmly down on the head just
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 or
this portion of the skull and on the
other side at the same place with the
forefinger, or with the forefinger and
second finger, will result in opening
the chickens mouth, and holding 1t
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 yes
sells be cut
The position of the knife in the
mouth, which Is shown by the dotted
line, needs no further explanation. The
xnife itself, however, is very differ
emit 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 knife III adapted
to the work which 1t has to do is illus
trated by the cut above, which shows
