DON'T MIX DRESSED POULTRY
Pack Young and Old Fowls Separately
Carefully Place Neat Tag on
All Shipments.

In marketing fowls, especially
chickens, never mix the young dressed
fowls with the old. If you do, the
young go in at the price of the old,
no more. Pack all the dressed roost-
ers In box to themselves, but don't
mix the old with the young in this
case, either.
Tag all your shipped fowls, for If
you are sending prime stock the tag
will recommend you highly, not only
to the house you ship to, but the GUS
toners he sells TO.
The young poultry Matched late this
summer can be sold for roasters in
January and February.

senator John Sharp Williams made a
brilliant speech in the Senate the other
day. which purports TO have been a
defense OF President Wilson's foreign
policy. II must have been a brilliant
speech because the President has said
