PLANS OUTLINED FOR
PREPARING POULTRY
Best to Kill Fowl by Cutting
Throat With Knife.
Dry-Picking Makes Better Appearing
Product for Market-CooIing May
Be Done by Placing carcasses
in Iced Water.

Birds to be killed and marketed
should be kept without feed for at
least II hours before killing, say poul-
try specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. The best
method of killing is to suspend the
fowl by the legs and through the
mouth cut the jugular vein in the back
of the throat with a sharp-pointed
knife. After prosecuting this vein
once or twice. cut into the roof of the
mouth so as to pierce the brain with
the point of the knife, slightly turning
the point after 1t has pierced the
brain.
Fowls to be used at home may be
killed more easily by chopping off
their heads. The fowls may be either
dry picked or. scalded. Dry-picking
makes better-appearing market fowl,
but scalding, which is easier, is often
preferred, if the bird is for home use.
Dry-picking should be done immedi-
ately after the bird is killed, as the
feathers ther come out more easily.
Be careful not to tear the skin. For
scalding, use water heated just below
the boiling point, immersing the fowl
two or three times, or until the feath-
ers pull off easily, but do not leave it
in so long that the skin scalds.
Cool the fowls after they are
picked. either by hanging them up in
a cool place or soaking them in cold
or iced water. Fowls for market are
usually sold undrewn, but for home
or local use they may be drawn by re-
moving the crop through an opening
made IN the skin of the neck, and cut
ting around the vent and then remov-
ing the irtestiues and all other Wis
eeral material making an additional
slit into the abdomen If necessary.
Place the Iiver and gizzard back in

DEFENDS SHIPPING BOARD

Chairman Benson Says More Than a
Billion Has Been Earned by Fleet
New York-More than $1,000, 900 ,O09
in gross revenue has been earned by
the government-controlled merchant
fleet since it began operations. Chair
man Benson of the Shipping board
said in an address before the Municipal
club of Brooklyn
While the board cannot show profit
as large as would have been the case
if the fleet had been privately owned,
Chairman Benson said. this billion dol
lars stayed in this country and but
for the possession of fleet built by
the government, would have been
spent for the use of foreign bottoms.

The tools ordinarily required are
two outside ground socket-handled
gouges Zone three-fourths of an inch
and the other 1h inches), knife,
mallet or hammer, and an oil
stone. Only keen edges should be
used on the bark or near the cam
blum.
Remove Diseased Wood.
Remove all the diseased or insect
eaten or water-soaked wood. In dis
eased areas of many years standing
there may be only a thin shell of
healthy wood around the cavity, in
which case the tree must be braced
or guyed. and it is often better re-
moved and replaced by a healthy one.
Do not leave cavity so it will re
tain water. In shaping a cavity that
is to be filled with cement, etc., have
the sides undercut, if possible, so as
to hold the filling more firmly in place.
InrOlled bark at the edges of the open
ing should be cut away after the de-
cayed and diseased matter has been
SOlApiStCl CASdNdlCu anu lllC CuSCS Vi
the sapwood and bark adjoining the
cambium shellacked. The remainder
of the cavity also must be sterilized.
Creosote is recommended. Over this
a heavy waterproof covering should
be applied.
Filling the cavity is of much less i'm.
portance. Often a cavity is better left
untitled. A cavity must be watched
from year to year and any tendency
of the waterproofing to crack, split
or blister should Immediately be coun.
teracted by repainting.
Where sheet-metal covering is used
there should be narrow half-inch
ledge of bare wood around the edge
to which the margin of the metal can
be tackled. The cavity must be thor
and the sheet metal fitted tight at the
edges.
If long cavity is to be filled with
cement or asphalt, it usually is advis-
able to place one or more bolts
through it to hold the wood and filling

as rule, should be bolted every Is
or "a inches.
The most widely used material for
filling cavities is cement, usually in
the form of cement mortar or con-
crete. Under certain conditions as
phalt and sawdust and sand used in
combination with cement blocks or
with wood would be better than either
used separately, and they often are
more economical. Often large pieces
of wood or smaller sectional pieces
can be fitted to the opening and the in
terstices filled with the plastic.
The Department of Agriculture in
vites correspondence concerning meth
DDS in tree-repair work, and will be
prepared to advise for or against any
particular method so far as experience
and the results of experiments will
permit.

KEEP SILAGE FROM FREEZING
See That All Ventilation in SiIo Wall
Is Excluded by Closing
Upper Openings.

There is very little that can be done
to prevent silage from freezing
around the edge of the silo i'm severe
cold weather. About the only provi-
sion that can be made is to see that
all ventilation in the silo wall is ex-
cluded by closing the upper openings
of wall and in case there are any
along the bottom, to close these also
says an exchange. If the trouble
comes from the freezing of the
silage at the top, we would suggest
that care be exercised in closing any
ventilation through the roof and, in
addition, it will be found desirable to
cover the top Of the silage with tar
paulin or cloth bags, and in case these
are not available, covering of straw
will be of some value. The purpose
of the covering is to keep out any
circulation of air and to cOnfine all
the heat there is in the silage.

Tree surgery is comparatively sim
pie and inexpensive and most persons
can, with little preliminary practice,
undertake the simpler types Of tree
repair work that will prove immense
ly profitable in saving fine trees. A
few fundamental principles must be
observed to secure permanently good
results.
O Remove the dead, decayed, dis
eased or injured wood or bark. When
on limb this can often be done best
by removing the entire limb; on a
large limb or on the trunk it may
mean at times digging out the decayed
matter so that cavity is formed.
(2) Sterilize all cut surfaces.
(3) Waterproof all cut surfaces.
(4) Leave the work in the most fa-
vOrable condition for rapid healing ;
this will often mean filling or cover
ing deep cavities.
year for defects and If any appear at
tend to them Immediately.
Removing Large Limbs.
A large limb rarely should be re-
moved by single saw cut from the
upper side, as this usually strips the
bark and wood as it falls. A prelim-
mary cut should be made from the un-
der side, beyond the point for the
final cut; and second cut on the up
per side an inch or more beyond the
first one. Then cut the stub close to
the trunk. A coat of good shellac
should be applied over the entire area
Of the bark, outer sapwood, and the
cambium Immediately.
Creosote should be applied to the
rest of the exposed wood not already
covered by the shellac as protec-
ton, and the entire shellacked and
creosoted surface should be finally wa
terprOofed with thick coal tar or as
phalt. Grating wax, particularly the
thick liquid alcoholic kind, is excel
lent for waterproofing small surfaces.
Another good method of treating the
scars is to char the surface with a
gasoline or alcohol blast torch and
then quickly cover the hot surface
with heavy tar, pitch, or hot asphalt.
The treated surfaces should be
watched from year to year and recoat-
ed as necessary to preserve the wa
terprOofing.
In removing small branches and
twigs the cut should be made as close
to the supporting branch as possible,
so as to leave no projecting stub. The
pruning wound must be sterilized and
water-proofed. For very small wounds
shellac is handy.
When a wound has been allowed to
remain untreated for year or more,
decay producing organisms are almost
certain to have started an area of de-
cay and insect activity behind the ex-
posed surface. Such regions gen.
orally require excavation of decayed
and diseased wood and sterilizing and
| waterproofing of the cut surfaces.

kahn DISCUSSES
REVISION OF TAX.
New York Banker Advocates
Levying a Flat Tax on Profits
of Corporations.
FAvORS HIGHER TARIFF
Reapealing of Excess Profits Tax and
Placing Tax on Sales Would
Check Profiteering He
Thinks.

Washington-Esta of q
| .,ales tax, repeal of the tax on excess
! profits, reduction of the higher rates
Of the tariff and the levying of a fiat
tax on profits of corporations, were
advocated before the house ways and
means committee by Otto H. Kahn
New York banker in a comprehensive
discussion of tax revision legislation
Mr. Kahn dwelt at length on the
question of a sales tax, partly in re
sponse to Indications in the committee
that that sort of tax is gaining in
favor. Chairman Fordney, before Mr.
Kahn was called, said he and several
other members believed some sort OF
sales tax would eventuate, but thai
they were seeking methods by which
the tax would not be multiplied and
the consumer unjustly taxed in the
final purchase
AS result of the chairman's state
men Mr.. Kahn discussed that phase
of the problem. Advocating legisla
tive provisions which would require
the tax to be made known in each sale
and added to the selling price as a
separate item. Such an arrangement
he said in his opinion, would check
the profiteering which has resulted
from the excess profits tax.
In his discussion of a need for re
vised taxation program Mr. Kahn de-
clared that American business could
not experience healthy growth if the
government continued ION a road of
excessive taxation and continued to alb
sorb the life blood of business through
concentration OF taxes on income and
capital"
Commercial Development Stopped"
He added that "the tax burden" had
already actually stopped commercial
development
What has happened in the past,
he continued. "can reasonably he ex.
pected to happen again in the future
We have seen the end of this tax plan
and have seen its disastrous results
1t has forced every business house, to
run to banks for credit to conduct bm-

ness has felt the effects. The retailer
has not been struck to the extent that
l fear he will. You can see from that

One of the means suggested by Mr..
Kahn for lifting the present tax bur.

and was saving securities. He urged

SCALES FOR TRUCK USE

Farmers as q rule have not
in the past installed platform
scales suitable for mOtortruck
weighing. This fact should be
taken into consideration in buy

if one does not own motor
truck when he decides to buy a
scale it is well, in most cases at
least, to buy a scale designed
for weighing motortruck loads.
