thereby destroying the control which,

1t also destroys all sense of feeling.
With a few trials this method will
become quite easy and you will find
the feathers ready to almost drop off.

and assures a thorough bleeding,

After this operation, quickly rub

the turkey, the breast and thigh.
Never use the finger-nails to pick

pulling the short, or pin feathers. the
rails will have to come into play, but
great care should be used that only a
careful, clean pluck is made-not a
scratch or scrape.
By the time the body is finished,
the bird will be so nearly dead that
Tapping will be almost impossible, so
the wings can be unlocked and picked
clean. 1t is not necessary to remove

housewife values the turkeys for
brushes and does not mind paying for
the slight additional weight. while the

All Railroads Suffering From Heavy
Car Shortage

Railroads of the United States are
suffering from the greatest shortage
OF cars ever experienced at this time
of the year. according to figures made
public. On September 80 there was
net shortage of 81 ,O30 cars. This
compares with surplus of 49, OPT
cars on October / 1914, and of 1929
on the corresponding date last year.
The greatest shortage is in box
cars. totaling 33,016, while coal and
gondola cars are lacking to the extent
OF 1892. The greatest shortage of
box cars is in the granger States,
while the lack of coal and gondola
cars is felt most severely in the CEN
trail and eastern sections. Railway
men say that the high point of the
shortage will be reached some time
next month, and that mild weather
would tend to minimize the difficulty.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion made public a report of it's in
spections on the car famine in Ne
braska. saying that the railroads are
furnishing all the cars they can sup
ply to meet an unprecedented demand,
but that it is impossible for them to
furnish satisfactory transportation
under the circumstances. The report
says that the only way to prevent re-
petition of the shortage is to provide
a considerable amount of new loco
motive and car equipment and to in
