tening. You would not kill and take to market a pig that Is little more than skin and bones. You would first load 10J pounds of fat on his carcass. The meat would be better in quality, the price would be multiplied several hundred per cent, the quantity would be increased, and your business reputation would be saved. You would follow the same prin- ciples In marketing your beef and mutt ton. Why not exercise a like wisdom in the handling of your turkeys and fowls
 I saw wild ducks in a big city stall the other day at s pair This is an- other proof that what people really de- sire they will pay for at a high price. Study the sensitive palates of the epi- cures. You can't raise a bird that is too meaty and plump and juicy for the mi!lionaire's Christmas or New Year S dinner. What he wants Is the best; the price will be promptly forthcoming.
 If you have high quality birds it will be worth while for you to look up pri- vate customers. The poultryman who has limited quantity of stuff to dis pose of will do well to consider this ad- vantage. Evade if possible the profits Of the middleman. Be your own mid dleman.
 APPEARANCE HALF BATTLE
 Yes, the bird that looks well is half sold. Talk with the fancy fruit mer- chant about this. He buys the stuff in the rough and in quantities He will sort it. polish 1t, garnish it, display it in beautiful cartons under favorable light where 1t will catch the eye of the pass er-by.
 This is perfectly legitimate business procedure. Poultrymen must do the same if they expect to win in their game
 Wet picking. Market poultry that is scalded and picked wet is likely to look rough, parboled and more or less torn The utmost care should be exercised It Is especially well to remember this caution in preparing young birds fol sale.

CAN STRIKES CONTINUE
IN TIME OF WAR?
(By the Associated Press)

Chicago, Oct. Whether an or
ganization can strike during war
time and whether members of an or
ganization can stay on strike when
that strike was initiated before the
war started, are the two paramount
issues between the government and
the 166 indicted l. w. W.'s, accord
ing to Otto Christensen, attorney for
the organization. He is in Chicago
today preparing for the legal battle
which will open soon.
Sweeping denial Of the charges
named in the Indictment was made
by Christensen who asserted the
chief point at issue is whether l. w.
WIS are within the law in promul-
eating strikes during war times.
.'The government charges cannot
possibly stand up" he declared. "The
1. w. w. has at no time taken posi-
tive position in regard to the war.
Some Of the Z strikes we are charged
with starting to embarrass the gov
ernment,' were started before the
war began.
.'The charge that German money
has been backing the organization is
ridiculous"

Stockholm, Sept 9.-(Cor. Associ-
ated Press Owing to the expected
scarcity of food during autumn, the
stock of live cattle in Sweden will
be reduced, approximately Is per
cent, and steps are now being taken
to arrange sailing and packing the
enormous quantity of meat which
will result from the slaughter of cat
tie. The government also announces
that licenses have been granted for
the export of 5000 head of cattle to
Norway or Finland but nothing to
Germany as heretofore.
The government has taken ener-
getic steps to organize wood cutting
and the transportation of the enor-
nous quantity of fuel which will be
wanted in the winter. Germany has
only sent about one fifth Sweden's
ordinary consumption of coal, s.
100000 tons, and England practi-
cally nothing.
On Stockholm's boulevards, half
the ground space is covered house.
high with piles of firewoOd while ev-
cry open place presents the same pic

ing props every week to port before
the water freezes in October or Nov
ember. Sweden in this way is to q
certain extent making herself inde-
pendent Of English and German coal
for the time being.
Lighting is another capital prob
lem In Sweden. Petroleum has in
creased In value to over $500 q gal
Ion and cannot really be counted on

of calcium carbide have increased

Sweden also has hurried the cleo

gress that Imperial Chancellor DR.
Michaelis had stated among other
things that Germany was ready to
return Alsace Lorraine to France.
The imperial chapcellor's utterances
are generally known and the asser-
ton of the Russian war minister is an
invention.
The war minister further stated
that it was Germany's intention to
make separate peace with Great
Britain and France at the cost Of the
Russians. Great Britain and France
have informed the Russian govern
ment that they would not be parties
to any such proposal.
II herewith state that Germany
has made no proposals whatever for
a separate peace either to France or
Great Britain" said the German for
eign secretary.
