While the processes involved in the
preparation of dressed poultry for the
market or table are neither difficult
nor intricate. reasonable care must
| be exercised if the carcass is to reach
the consumer in the most attractive
condition.
The first step in the preparation OF
| the fowl is the killing and bleeding.
| which on the average farm is quickly
and easily accomplished by wringing
the neck or chopping off the head, but
better plan and one practiced in the
to-date poultry plants is to sever the
| main arteries leading directly to the
brain through the base of the skull.
The method usually employed is to in
sert rather long. slender sharp
pointed knife blade in and up into
the mouth until the blade reaches the
|, point where the blood vessels enter
the skull. Then with slight twisting.
cutting motion the arteries are cut.
permitting a free flow of blood which
is necessary to insure the pest
keeping properties and appearance of
the dressed fowl The flesh of poor
ly bled chicken is inferior both in fla
vor and condition.: it is less firm and
much more perishable than the meat
of we'll bled fowls. The surface is
married by red spots where the feath-
ers have been removed. and by the
prominence of the veins of the breast,
wings and neck.
Other methods of bleeding are
sometimes recommended. but are sell
dom used on chick ems destined for the
market. For home consumption the
dislocation of the vertebra of the neck
answers every purpose. 1t is a blood
less operation. that is, no blood eS-
capes to soil the clothes or hands, yet
the body is we'll drained of blood. The
bird is held. by the legs. head down
with the left hand. about on the level
with the breast of the one holding it.
With the thumb of the right hand
back of the chickens head and the
first and second fingers under the
beak the head is bent back and pulled
downward until the neck is broken. A
little practice soon enables one to
learn just how hard to pull. and when
the operation is completed the fowl
bleeds at the point of the break and
the blood collects in the pouch thus
formed The clotted blood discolors
the neck, but if prepared for the table
within a short time. the flesh of the
neck is in no way affected; the neck
skin is cut somewhat close to the
body and the bone scraped clean of
the clotted blood
While this method of killing and
bleeding is cleanly. easy and effective.
it is doubtful as to whether it is as
complete as that obtained by cutting
the blood vessels through the mouth
and thus permitting an uninterrupted
flow of the blood outside the body
Another method cnYpmOnly nra cficad
some years ago, but now discarded
consisted Of running a pointed knife
blade through the head from one side to
the other at the base of the brain. cut
ting the arteries and puncturing the
brain at the same time. The bleeding
was complete. but an ugly scar was left
on both sides of the head. which injured
the appearance of the dressed carcass.

Next Step Is Plucking Feathers.

The next step in the process of
dressing" is the picking or pluck
ing" of the feathers. The fowls may
be first scalded and then picked, or
they may be picked dry. There is no
objection to the scalding process If
the dressed fowls are not to be sent
to market. but are destined for home
use. The feathers are easily plucked'
even by an amateur. The skin. how
ever is as easily SCARED; the cuticle
covering the skin Is destroyed and
the skins protection against bacteria
Is gone, so the more quickly the fowl
Is used, after being scalded, the less
danger there is from effects of putre-
factive organisms.
For best results. the temperature of
the scalding water should be kept just
Immediately below the boiling point.
With the feet of the fowl in one
hand and the head in the other. dip
the body several times. Hold it under
the water each time for four or five
seconds. while keeping it in constant
motion. Then when lifting the body
out of the water see that the legs
are up. allowing the feathers to fall
back and open, exposing the skin to
the air.
When ready, the picking is usually
done with the bird on a table or on the
knees Of the picker; a waterproof apron
should be provided. II properly scalded
the removal Of the feathers may be ac-
complished with minimum effort and
with little danger Of tearing the skin.
Successful dry picking. however. re-
quires more care and experience, with
some skill. The beginner should prac-
tice on the matured fowl. as the skin
is tougher and does not tear SO easily,
but the ease with which the skin Of the
young bird is torn and married makes
the greatest care and experience a ne
