TO PACK POULTRY
Specialists Urge Unusual Care in
Preparing Fowls.
Methods Recommended Which Are
Essential to Perfect Product at
Any Time, Especially When
Weather Is Unfavorab!c.

Poultry packers are urged by the
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture to give unus
ual attention to preparing and pack
ing their birds for shipment particu-
larly IL the mild weather which has
been widely prevalent this autumn.
continues. The poultry specialists
say that the weather conditions In
many sections have been very similar
to those which prevailed in the au-
tumn Of 1918 and which, as poultry
shippers will remember. proved dis
astrous to all packers wko did not
dress. chill and pack properly.
The specialists, therefore, recon-
mend the particular observance of the
following methods of handling dressed
poultry, which are essential to q per.
feet product at any time and are OF
vital importance Whenever weather
conditions are unfavorable:
Methods of Handling Dressed Poultry.
l. Keep the holding batteries for
your incoming stock clean. well aired,
and free from vormin. 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 in
testines of a dressed chicken causes
loss of flavor and hastens decay, which
more than offsets any gain from extra
weight
8. Good bleeding is absolutely es-
sential to 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.
Hang the chicken by both feet
while picking. Hanging by one leg
spoils the shape of the bird. Picking
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1916-06-24

'5. Chill every dressed bird a...i lTss
body temperature Is below 35 degrees
#. Nevcr. pack or ship an imperfoctly
chilled bird. More decay is due to
imperfect chilling than to any other
single factor in dressing. Dry chill, II
possible. Chickens cooled in water
lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold
store as satisfactorily as dry-chilled,
and are in every way more undesiratlc
on the market. Refrigerator cars will
carry we'll chilled goods in good con-
iition, but they cannot chill warm
goods to sufficiently low tempera-
ture.
I. Pack in boxes or small kegs when
ever possible. A large barrel EIakes
an undesirable package. because where
poultry is packed in large masses the
weight of the upper layers crushcs
the birds at the bottom.
8. Line all packages with parchment
paper and cover the top OF the poultry
before the lid is put OIL
9. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another.
~. use only SOOu IciIiSSidtoi Cal .
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 temperature be-
low 40 degrees T. at point four feet
above the foor and between the doors.
General Suggestions.
Never handle chickens roughly,
other before or after killing. Rough
handling 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.
Pieoework, 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.
Inese directions will apply with
equal force to turkeys intended for the
market.

Declare Themselves Satisfied
That Hughes Nomination
Is Put Off.
CBy the Sun News serviee.)

Chicago, June s.-The Hughes managers
were saying when the convention ad-
journed for the night that they were
more than satisfied with the gain made
by their candidate on the second ballot.
and they predicted that he would be
nominated on the third or fourth ballot
tomorrow.
The allies, however, gained an advant-
age on bringing about the adjournment.
Their tactics through the entire conven-
ton session were directed to that end.
They knew that their only chance of de-
feating Mr.. Hughes is to bring about
deadlock. They hope that If his
nomination can be held of until the
third ballot his strength may disintegrate
and the honor fall to one of their number.

Chicago. June s.-The allies were
holding many conferences tonight
seeking to get together on a common
candidate. The Hughes people, while
expressing confidence. were plainly
worried.
Gov. whitman, who has managed
the Hughes boom. was particularly
fearful that the adjournment would
give an opportunity for the allies to
make deals. Ex-senator Fairbanks,
of Indiana, and Snator Sherman, OF
Illinois, were being talked Of as pos
sihilities on whom the allies might try
to unite.
The general belief here tonight is
that the Vice Presidency will go to
Fairbanks If Hughes is chosen.
