| 6. Chill every dressed bird until the
body temperature is below 80 degrees
F. Never pack or ship an imperfectly
| chilled bird. More decay is due to
imperfect chilling than to any other
single factor in dressing. Dry chill, if
possible. Chickens cooled in water
lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold
store as satisfactorily as dry-chilled
and are in every way more undesirable
on the market Refrigerator cars will
carry well chilled goods in good condi-
ton, but they cannot chill warm goods
to sufficiently low temperature.
I. Pack in boxes or small kegs
whenever possible. A large barrel
makes an undesirable package, be-
cause where poultry is packed in large
masses the weight of the upper layers
crushes the birds at the bottom.
s. Line all packages with parch-
ment paper and cover the top of the
poultry before the lid is put on.
9. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar She appearance of another.
10. Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are in good order.

'HOW to Handle Chickens
Is Told by Men Who Kn0W

Washington, d. c., Nov. .9.-Poultry
packers are urged by the specialists
| of the Department of Agriculture to
give unuusal attention to preparing
and packing their birds for shipment,
particularly if the mild weather, which
has been widely prevalent this au-
tumn, continues. The poultry special
lists say that the weather conditions in
many sections have been very similar
to those which prevailed in the au-
tumn Of 1913, and which, as poultry
shippers will remember, proved disas-
trous to all packers who did not dress,
chill and pack properly.
The specialists therefore recommend
the particular observance of the fol-
lowing methods OF handling dressed
poultry, which are essential to per
feet product at any time and are of
vital importance whenever weather
conditions are favorable:
l. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean. well aired,
and free from vermin, and see that the
chickens have plenty of fresh water
and plenty to eat.
2. Don't kill a chicken when the
crop is full of feed. Give the chicken
only water for "a hours before it is
killed Food in the crop or in the
intestines Of : dressed chicken causes
loss of favor and hsstens decay. WHICH

3. Good bleeding is absolutely es-
sential 10 good appearance on the
market and retards decay Circular
81, Bureau of Chemistry, Z. S. De-
rartment of Agriculture, explains the
best methods of bleeding and loosen
ing the feather muscles of dry picking.
4. Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by one leg
spoils the shape of the bird. Picking
on the lap gets the skin dirty and
hastens decay.

particularly undesirable because it

A BUSINESS DEAL
BY LOUISE OLIVER.


Richard Adrian was a rich bachelor.
That was why he was on the list of
every concern in America that had
something to sell. His daily mail was
chock-full of advertisements of all
kinds, from pastry -four to gold mines.
And he was hourly besieged by agents
of both sexes who insisted upon show
ing him only editions" and improved
razOTs.
Mike, the Office boy, was able to dis
suade too persistent males, but Dor
Othy Darlington was prepared for
Mike. She had heard of him, and,
arming herself for the ball game,
Mike went down an easy victim.
Richard Adrian had decided that it
was near enough to noon to escape
from involuntary Incarceration, as he
always referred to his Office, when
Dorothy breezed in and shut the door,
How do you do? Please don't
blame your boy for letting me in. He
couldn't help it. I'm sorry if you

Yes, yes! l suppose so. Well, sit
down, Miss Darlington. I'll take five
thousand of your insurance, but well

searching for papers in her bag. |

business"
Two months later Dorothy had to
get past Mike again. Never mind
how she managed it, but she did.
This time she was asked to sit
down. But, really, l cannot take
any more insurance, Miss Darlington.
I've made all my second cousins bene-
ficiaries now"
But it isn't insurance this time"
she declared. Its house I'm SELL

would take any insurance."
But, don't want a house, either.
