SCIENTIFIC KILLING
OF FOWL EXPLAINED

Grasp the chicken. when killing, by
the bony part Of the skull Do not let
the fingers touch the neck. Make a
small cut with a small, sharp-pointed
knife on the right side OF the roof of
the chickens mouth. just where the
bones Of the skull end. Brain for dry
picking by thrusting the knife through
the groove which runs along the middle
line Of the roof Of the mouth until It
touches the skull midway between the
eyes. Use knife which IL mot more
than two inches long, one-fourth inch
wide, with a thin, flat handle. a sharp

Overlooking Dangerous,
Department Announces

Overlooking is more dangerous to
young chickens than undertaking. say
the Department OF Agriculture special
lists In raising poultry. Young chickens
should be fed from three to five times
daily. depending upon ones experiences
in feeding. Undoubtedly chickens can
be grown faster by feeding five times
daily than by Feeding three times daily.
but at no time should they be fed more
than barely to satisfy their appetites
and to keep them exercising, except at
the evening. or last meal. when they
should be given all they will eat. Great
err care must he exercised not to over,

Though the feeding OF poultry IL q
much debated subject in poultry hus-
bandry. there IL no one best feed or
combination OF feeds. Results depend
almost a. much upon the ability Of the
feeder and the methods OF feeding as
on the kinds Of grains.
The simplest feed-mixturcs and home
grown grains should usually be selected,
the rations varying with changes In the
market price OF grains. II IN advisable
for most poultry raisers TO mix their
own feeds, AZ In this way they can
control the proportion Of the various In
gradients and obtain the precise mixture
that they desire. II, however, one de-

mercial articles may usually DO occurred

CHICKENS ARE EASY

SAY U. S. EXPERTS
More Widely Adapted to Such
Conditions Than Other
Kinds Of Live Stock.

OF the various. kinds OF live stock.
poultry Is the most widely adapted TO
suburban conditions for several reasons.
II can be handled successfully on very
small amount Of land. The waste prod
ucts from the kitchen and the table may
be used to advantage as feed. The care
OF the chickens Is pleasant work, In
comparatively simple. and may be done
by any member OF the family. Eggs
and dressed poultry always are In de-
mand, and may be sold TO advantage In
any quantity, or used at home, thus
furnishing a strictly fresh product which
10 hard to obtain under general market
conditions. and. In addition, the care OF
poultry may provide recreation for
adults, employment and good discipline
for the children, and be a source OF in
cometo the housewife. or saving IN the
specialists Of the Department OF Agri-
culture.
Some Popular Breeds.
The following breeds are among the
most popular In this country: Plymouth
Rocks, wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds,
orpingtons, and slngle-comb White Leg
horns. The Leghorns belong to the egg
laying class of fowls. lay white egg.
and arc especially adapted to large COM
mercisl egg farms. or to sections where
a white egg brings premium over
brown eggs. The other breeds belong
to the general-purpose class. and lay
brown eggs. They are better adapted
TO the average person or the farmer who
keeps only a small number OF fowls, az
they are good layers and also make good
table poultry. Another advantage OF
the Refleral-purpose breeds is that they
will hatch eggs and brood their chick
ems, while the Leghorns and other
breeds of the egg-laying class are nom
sitters.

 New York is first among the cities Of the United States in foreign commerce. Of course by such lead makes the figures Of all Of the others seem small. New Works commerce for May. for instance, amounted to $S69.9l6sO9. and if the figures Of the other two New York districts are added the total is over $40OOOOOoO. or ten times the trade of the Washington district which ranked second

ABSURD

 rule Here is a bill which Is intended to
 to put an end to road building by officials

 it under local control. and yet the very
 papers which have yelled for self govern
 ment don't want this particular kind"
 The Post simply displays it's failure to compre bend the operation Of laws in Alaska. If Delegate Netherlands bill were in the interest Of seEgov. it would provide for the repeal of the whole iniQuitious Alaska license tax. and leave the whole matter of levying taxes the people Of Alaska to the people Of the Territory.
