and free from yermin. 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 1t Is
killed. Food in the crop or In the in
testines OF a dressed chicken, causes
loss of flavor and hastens decay, which
more than offsets any gain from extra
weight
3. Good bleeding Is absolutely es-
sential to a good appearance on the
market and retards decay. Circular 6l
Bureau of Chemistry, Department of
Agriculture, explains the best methods
of bleeding and loosening the feath
er muscles for 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 has
tens decay.
5. Dry pick If possible. Scalding Is
particularly undesirable because it has
tens decay.
6. Chill every dressed bird until
the body temperature is below 80
degrees f.. Never pack or ship an i'm
perfectly chilled bird. More decay Is
due to imperfect chillingthan to any
other single factor in dressing. Dry
chill, If possible, Chickens cooled in
water lose flavor, decay sooner, will
not coldstore as satisfactorily as dry
chilled, and are i'm every way more un-
desirable on the market. Refrigerator
cars will carry well chilled goods in
good condition, but they cannot chill
warm goods to a sufficiently low tenn
perature.
T. 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.
8. Line all packages with parch-
ment paper and cover the top OF the
poultry before the lid is put on.
8. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per- so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another
TO- Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are in good order.
Ice and salt the car "a hours before
loading. The car, at the end of "a
hours, should show a temperature be-
low 40 degrees F., at point feet
above the flood and between the doors.
General Suggestions.
Never handle chickens roughly eth
er before or after killing. Rough hand
ling causes bruises, broken bones,
SCARED skins, and soft places in the
| flesh. Undue haste on the part of the
killers and pickers results in lowered
keeping quality and poor appearance
of the product,
Piece work which leads to quantity
rather than quality makes for lower
prices on the market. Those who pay
by the piece should remember that
they sell by the quality of the piece.
These directions will apply with
equal force to turkeys intended Tor

corning the aliens to Washington at

the neutrals can remain in the coun

that some of the aliens already had
been admitted.
Other officials OF the bureau, how
ever were of the opinion that those
aliens who are not admissible to the
country under the immigration laws
would have to be transported to New
York and placed aboard a steamer from
that port bound for Buenos Aires. from

have to bear the expense OF the trans

charges. In ordinary cases il a steam

LACK OF CAR TICKETS
BLOW TO DETECTIVES
District Appropriation Bill Dropped
Expense Item-Question of
Uniforms Involved.

Members of the detective force feel
they have been Disseminated against
in the matter of free transportation on
street car lines
The District appropriation bill recent
1y passed by Congress provides that
the several street railway companies
in the District of Columbia are au-
thorized and required to transport free
of charge all members Of the metro
politan police, crossing police. park
police and fire department of the Dis
trict of Columbia when in uniform and
In the performance of their duties"
An order Of the public utilities COM
mission also provides that the street
railway companies shall give free
transportation to members of the police
department when in uniform and in
the performance of their duties"
Members of the detective force fear
that by the provisions Of the appro-
priation bill. upon which authorization
the utilities board has issued its ruling,
portation because they are plain
clothes" men and do not wear a uni
form. They are anxfously awaiting
Corporation Counsel Syme's interpreta-
tion of the law, for should that official
rule that only men in uniform shall
receive free transportation a serious
situation will confront them. It will
mean that they must either walk or
pay their own street car fare when in
the performance of their official duties
No Cash for Tickets.
Congress having provided free trans
portation for police and firemen, no
item for the purchase of street car
tickets for tho two departments dur
ing the next fiscal year was included
in the appropriation bill. Until June
80 funds will be available for this pur-
pose, but after that time the detectives
will have to pay for their street car
transportation, if it is held that only
uniformed members of the force are
entitled to free rides.
When the District appropriation bill
was before the Senate District commit
tee several of the detective force con-
ferred with members of the committee
and suggested a change in the wording
of the law so that 1t would include
the plain clothes members of the po-
lice department. They were told, it Is
stated, that no change would be neces-
rides. A member of the committee
stated he considered the words land in
the performance of their duty" would
apply to detectives in plain clothes and
that they need have no fear about the
matter of free transportation.
In the detective bureau the burden
will fall heavily upon seven men who
do not get the additional $50 month
for expenses received by most of the
men, il the transportation decision
goes against them. Provision was
made in the appropriation bill for
the coming year for the designation OF
four additional members of the de-
tective bureau at an increase of $40
and many members of the force are
seeking the positions.
