HOW TO BUY POULTRY
Government Warns Against Ice.
Packed Chickens.
Worth 10 to 10 Per Cent Per Pound
Less Than Those Properly
Handled.

Washington. Paying the same
price for wet-packed chickens as for
dry-packed involves heavy money loss
to the consumer, according to the
dressed poultry specialists Of the Unit
ed States department of agriculture.
Government experiments have shown
that wet-packing broiler and sending
it to market on ice causes it to lose IL
per cent of it's value and fowls lose
about 10 per cent. If dry-packed brOfl-
ers are worth 40 cents, wet-packed are
not worth more than IS cents; if dry
packed fowls cost 80 cents, wet-packed
one should not cost over u cents.
A chicken thrown into ice water to
remove animal heat and sent to market
in a barrel in direct contact with
cracked ice, it is pointed out, absorbs
water for which the consumer has to
pay chicken prices. The water also
dissolves out from the chicken valua-
bic havoring and nutritive substances.
These 60 into the water at the bottom
of the barrel along with filth that IS
washed from dirty feet and bloody
heads, and trickles downward over the
poultry.
With a dry-packed chicken the AMI
NAL heat is removed by hanging the
bird in an artificially cooled room
maintained at nearly freezing tempera.
ture. The chicken is then packed into
q box containing IL birds and sent to
market. The box Is hauled in refriger-
ator cars and Is kept by good retailers
in good ice boxes until sold. The bird
is never wet, has no chance to absorb
water or becomes washed out. A bird
should never be wet until it gets q
final quick rinsing off in the house
wife's kitchen. The practice of some
housewives of soaking chicken after
1t is dressed, in pan of water, even
for an hour or two, helps to leach out
valuable qualities.

WestWard!

On the Technology of the trenches HE
went West" means "He died."D
Crimson the trail that westward runs
From the shot swept Sky and the flaming
guns,
From the haunts where death keeps vigil
still
With fiery breath and steers hot will.
Crimson the trail to the sunset far,
Countless the feet on the pathway are;
Westward is peace beyond the din:
Where the gray ranks met in the dawn
mist thin.
Crimson the trail to the quiet skies
Where the great guns threat into silence
dies
Where wounds are healed with holy
balm
And the fevered rest in a slumber calm.
Glorious the trail that the brave heart
Though love behind knows the old heart-
aches
Over the hills where the sun goes down
To wales eternal Of bright renown!
