GOVERNMENT ISSUES BULLETIN
ABOUT HANDLING POULTRY

precautions to avoid contamination that
surgeon uses in performing an oper-
ation-that is, with the use of sterile
instruments and rubber gloves and
under strictly scientific, sanitary con-
ditions, so that there would be no
bacterial contamination in the process
of drawing-the drawn poultry would
be preferable to the undrawn. How
ever, it is not practicable under ordi-
nary commercial conditions to prevent
some bacterial contamination in the
drawing of poultry. To produce this
result trained bacteriologist and
highly skilled worlxmen would be re-
quired in every poultry killing estab-
lishment. The cost of such process
would be prohibitive.
It is the opinion of the specialists,
therefore, that under commercial con-
ditions unknown poultry will keep bet
ter than drawn poultry. The expert
ments upon which this conclusion Is
based were conducted several years
ago, but continued observation of
thousands of shipments of poultry un-
der ordinary commercial conditions
since then has served only to
strengthen the opinion of the specialists
who made the original experiments.

The United States department OF ag-
r.culture has issued the following bull
letin dealing with the handling of poul-
try:
Undrawn poultry. contrary to the
general impression, keeps better in cold
storage and while passing through
trade channels than does drawn pou1-
try, say the specialists of the Bureau
o. Chemistry, United States Depart
nent of Agriculture, who have made
extensive studies of the handling of
poultry from the time it is killed to
the time it reaches the consumer.
Careful observations of a large num-
Der of shipments of both drawn and
rndrawn poultry, made under CONNER
cial conditions. showed that the un-
drawn poultry reached the consumer
with fewer bacteria and with less
chemical change in composition than
the drawn poultry. The shipments
were accompanied by the scientists

and the retail dealers. Recording ther-
mometers accompanied the shipments
through their entire course and the
varying temperatures to which the
shipments were subjected were re-
corded.
MUCH DRAWN POULTRY SPOILED.
Samples were taken from the ship
Incnts at the time the poultry was
killed, at the time it entered cold stor-
age, at intervals while in storage at
the time they reached the commission
men, again when the shipments
reached the retailers, and finally when
scld to the ultimate consumer. Bac-
THEOLOGICAL examination and chemical
analyses were made of all the sam
pies taken at the various stages.
Changes az they developed were noted
and studied. Comparisons were made
Of the samples taken from the un-
drawn poultry with samples taken
from the drawn poultry. 1t was found
| that archaeological and chemical In
dications of deterioration developed
much quicker in the drawn poultry,
end as the shipments progressed
through the various steps of CONNER
cial handling, the difference in the
signs of deterioration became more
marked. By the time the shipments
reached the consumer. much Of the
drawn poultry was unfit for food.

way Is not.
why, people from this section, OF

said Mr. Coffin. "And when they gel

Assistant State Leader of County

Every farmer in Idaho is interested
In the problems of the farm and home
and upon him rests the responsibility
of properly attacking and solving such
problems. These problems are being
solved more easily each year through
the Farm Bureau.
The Farm Bureau is an organization
Of the representative rural people Of
the county, brought together to work
out these problems under their own
leadership. From the various COM
munity needs a county wide program
of work is determined, and interested
leaders are chosen to lead each project
or phase of the program. This plan
is carried still further into state and
national program.
The problem first must be recog-
nized. then steps can be taken TO soNe

CROPS thus materially cutting down
farm profits. To fight them, under the
Farm Bureau plan, four steps are es-
sential: First, to recognize the prob

problem throughout the county by en-
listing the help of every farmer; third
to demonstrate practical methods Oh
destroying the pest, with the help OF
from the state and federal govern
mcnts; fourth, to make a countrywide
campaign of squirrel determination.
The campaign is led by the county
nroicct leader, aided by all of the COM
munity leaders OF the project. Each
local leader enlists the interests and
co-operation of the farmers within his
respective community, arranging ioca
demonstrations and planning In detail

association is engaged in tremen-
dously important work along health
lines with the dread disease. tubercu-

require quite sum of money to meet
the crying health needs of Idaho the
coming year and II Is the sincere and
earnest hope of those directing the

the purchase of seals will be very gen.
eral and liberal. Never was there a
greater need for work of this character
than there is in this state now and I

pie we'll enough to anticipate most
generous outpouring Of money for this
purpose.
Let us lay our pennies. and even dol

SACRED TRIBUTE ID FRENCH DEAD PAID
 ON ALL SOULS DAY
Crowds of MOurners Ob- serve Sacred Rites Which Had Been Interrupted
 by the War
By A. B. MARLER.

Paris, November 2.-(speciaL)--All Souls Day!
 Today and tomorrow are the first All Souls and All Saints days since the signing of the arnistice. and the French are at last able to give them selves up to the undisturbed public mourning of their dead.
 Both days, sacred to the memory of the departed, were strictly though quietly observed during the war. All the grave yards were crowded with mourners, who went to pay the regu- lar annual visit to their tombs. Every one in France regards it not as priv ilege, but as definite duty, to pay this act of respect to the memory of their departed between October 26 and No- vember 6, if indeed. they cannot carry out their act of piety on All Souls or All Saints Day itself. It was sad to see the long processions of widows, with their long black veils streaming behind them, mothers muffled to the eyes in crepe and the pitiful figures of lone orphans. stranded by the war.
 certain number of French soldiers have their last resting place in Paris, as they were brought back to the me- tropolis sick or wounded, to die. But the immense majority are buried on the battlefields of northeEp France. They were inferred by their comrades where
