PREPARE FOWLS FOR MARKET
Dry-Picklns Method Allowable for
5roiIers onIy-Attractively Dressed
Poultry Sells itself.

Either scalding or the dry-picking
method can be used for fowls intended
for market, but for broilers only the
dry-picking method is allowable. A
chick only few weeks old is a very
tender bird, but if scalded it will be
found impossible to PICK it without
occasionally rubbing little OF the skin
of. These spots will darken and give.
the broiler a stale look. The scald-
ing will also increase the tendency to,
decay. With dry picking not only
will the bird keep much longer, but
the natural firmness of the flesh pre-
vents all fear of skinning.
The more neatly a C-rcass is
dressed, the better the chance to sell
1t to a good trade Attractively dressed
poultry sells itself, while inferior
stuff goes begging.
Dry picked poultry will stand larger
shipments than those that are scalded.
The carcass should be dressed i'm
mediately after being killed To al
low the feathers to remain ON for,

tion

Washington, Feb. 17.-"Permit the
steamship Wilhelmina to proceed at
once with her cargo to her destina-
ton, unless his majesty's government
can produce further grounds than that
already advanced for doing other
wise"
This is the Suggestion" forwarded
to the British foreign Office by the
state department on Monday through
Ambassador Walter Hines Page at
London.
With the new note was submitted
evidence furnish n the state depart
ment by the owners of the Wilhelmina
to show that her cargo contains no
contraband of war, and that there is
no reason under international law
why Great Britain should hold up the
vessel
In statement to the house OF COM
mons in London, Winston Spencer
Churchill, first lord of the admiralty,
intimated that further action would be
taken by the allies to prevent the
importation of foodstuffs in neutral
ships to Germany.
Mr. Churchill, in introducing the
navy estimates, said that efficiency
was the keynote of the admiralty's
program, and that at the beginning
of the war the supplies of ammuni-
ton, men and oil were complete.
Every ship in the navy which was fit
for service, as well as new ships
which were being built for foreign
governments and armed merchant
men, had been fully manned.
"The task lying before us is both
anxious and grave. We are now to be
the object of warfare never before
practiced by a civilized power. So
far we have not attempted to stop the
importation of food. We have not
prevented neutral ships from trading
directly with German ports. We have
allowed German exports in neutral
ships to pass unchallenged. But the
time is near when the enjoyment of
these immunities by a state which as
a matter of deliberate policy has
placed herself outside of international
obligations must be reconsidered.
"A further declaration on the part
of the allied governments will be
made. which will have the effect of
applying for the first time the full
force naval pressure on the enemy"
The foreign Office announced defin-
ftely that if the cargo of the Ameri-
can ship Wilhelmina should be divert
ed for the relief of the distress in Bel
GUM the decisica send the cargo to
a British prize court would be recon
sidered.
Otherwise the cargo must be sub
United to the decision of the court.
The German government in a note
to the United States submitted to
the state department at Washington
through Ambassador Bernstorff de-
clared that Germany is willing to re-
cede from its announced policy to at
tack British merchantmen if Great
Britain will cease interference with
shipments of foodstuffs destined for
the noncombatant population of Ger
many.
The German note asserted that the
war zone proclamation was a retail
atory measure, adopted as a result of
Great Britain's departure from rules
OF international law and her purpose
to starve out Germany's civil popula-
ton.

Sunshine is absolutely necessary for
the health and vigor Of the laying
hen. Low windows SHOULD be set so
that the sun will shine into every
part of the house during some part of
the day. Roosts should be placed on
level, and not too high, as the hens
are apt to injure themselves either by
crowding, falling or flying against a
projection about the house. Keep the
windows in the poultry house clean.
