Of the unsightly poultry In markets Is
caused by an incomplete removal Of
the blood from the carcass. This Is
evidenced by red dots which frequent
ly appear where the feathers have
been removed, especially over the
thighs and wings, or by small veins

colored areas, which look like bruises,
on the sides Of the neck close to the

the killer holding the neck Of the bird

ticed, the birds are cut to bleed and
are also stuck through the brain to
paralyze the feather muscles. The
latter operation Is sometimes perform
ed by running the knife under the eye

the knife reaches the top Of the skull.
The knife, as In sticking under the
eye, should touch the brain In the
back part Of the skull. The point Of
the knife should then be twisted
slightly, so that enough brain tissue
may be destroyed to paralyze the bird
and cause the feathers to loosen.
Bleeding From Brain.

practiced. practically no blood es-
capes. But If Draining inside the
mouth is adopted. the cut blood ves-
sells In the brain find an outlet
through the knife hole. Bleeding from
these vessels, under any circumstan-
ces, is Of assistance In obtaining the
best results, and where the neck ves-
sells are missed the condition of the
chicken Is often greatly improved BY
the bleeding from the brain.
In killing, the chicken is held In a
U-shaped shackle. The thumb Of the
killer Is pressed firmly down on the
head just below and behind the ear
where the hinge Of the jaw occurs.

the skull and on the other side at the

will result in opening the chickens
mouth and hold 1t open while the oper-
ator makes the cut to bleed. Held in
such fashion, nothing constructs the
blood vessels and prevents the blood
from escaping. The pressure against
the jaw makes accurate cutting Of the
veins easier, since the bird cannot
close its mouth. Care must be taken
not to stretch the neck unduly, else
the vessels will be pulled to such a
narrow diameter that they are mora
difficult to find and also more difficult
to empty.
