the American Wholesale Coal associa-

was the optimism of both Fuel Admin

the steadily increasing production of
coal

For white birds have three tubs one

ings.
Wash the males first. Clean the
shanks and feet with the nail brush
soap and water. Insert the bird in the
first tub and push it down under the
water several times until the plumage
is wet through; make a heavy lather
with the sponge and soap and thor
oughly wash the plumage with the
sponge; open the wings and sponge
them in the direction of the feathers
Always wash the length of the feather
from the quill to the tip and not across
1t.
Keep the birds head out of the soapy
water If possible; sponge the.soap of
the bird and remove to the second tub
Press it under the water several times,
allow 1t to stand and drip for few
seconds, and then dip it twice in the
tub containing the bluing water. Re-
move the bird from the water. hold its
legs firmly and raise it up and down
quickly. so that it will flap and expand
its wings and tail, and shake out the
water.
DO not use towel to dry a white
bird. Move the exhibition coop near
the fire or some heat so that the bird

the breast and opening the feathers OF
the fluff while drying has tendency
to Increase the apparent size of these
sections. 1t is necessary to examine
the white birds frequently If the coops
are near stove to guard against over
heating them or scorching or curling
their feathers.
