cents. while In st. Louis and Chicago
the retail price usually Is about IS
cents, and in New York 81. On the
Pacific coast very few guineas are
raised. being found only occasionally
even In the largest markets
The marketing season for guinea
fowl is during the latter part of the
summer and throughout the fall. At
this time the demand In the city mar
kets Is for young birds weighing from
one to two pounds each. AT about
two and one-half months of age,
guineas weigh from one to one and
one-half pounds. At this size they be-
gin reaching the markets in August.
AS the season advances the demand
Is for heavier birds.
More Attractive UnpIucked.
The usual practice In marketing
game birds is to place them on the
market unplucked. and In most mar
kets guineas are sold In this way.
They look more attractive with the
feathers on and sell more readily.
When dressed the small size and dark
color of the guinea are likely TO
prejudice the prospective customer.
who may be unfamiliar with the birds
excellent eating qualities, For hotel
and restaurant trade, however, guineas
should be dressed in the same way as
common fowl. Before shipping any
birds to market. Il Is advisable to
inquire Of the dealer to whom they are
to be shipped whether the feathers
should be removed.
If the guineas are to be marketed
with the feathers on. II Is sufficient to
bleed them by severing the vein In the
roof of the mouth. allowing them TO
hang head downward until bleeding is
complete. IF the feathers are to he re-
moved. this should be done by dry
picking. The vein In the roof Of the
mouth Is severed first TO insure thor.
ough bleeding. and the knife then
thrust through the groove in the roof
of the mouth. thus piercing the brain.
When the brain is pierced the feathers
are loosened by convulsive move
ment Of the muscles and can be re-
moved easily.

KITCHEN WASTE FOR FOWLS
Scraps Of Many Varieties and consid-
cradle Volume Are Available
During Summer. ~

During the summer months kitchen
waste Is of many varieties and of
considerable volume. When of good
quality such waste products as beet
tops. turnlp tops, carrot tops. potato
parings, onion tops. watermelon and
cantaloupe- rinds, the outside leaves
of cabbages, waste lettuce leaves, and
similar vegetables are reIished by
hens. But when such food Is mixed
with dishwater, decomposed waste
material. or moldy bread harmful re-
suits from feeding may he expected.
In saving the scraps 1t Is well to sep
arate the portions adapted for feeding
to the poultry flock and place these
in receptacle or pail OF their own.
When the flock of young chickens is
kept separate from the mature birds
q separate classification for each
group may be made. Sour milk,
chopped meat. and other food rich In
protein elements are valuable in
Fastening growth of chickens.

pieces eight feet long and spiking .wo
by six pieces on the ends and also
on top. To save a little expense sled
tongue can be used. and will answer
just as well as,to make one. A four
by four piece is placed between the
floats and is held In place by lag
screws In each end. This piece should
have teeth inserted into its lower side
which are made from five-sixteenths-
inch round iron, and should stick out
about two and one half inches. Holes
should be bored into the four by four,
slightly smaller than the iron. and
should slant backward. A lever can
be bolted TO this piece, which by NOV
ing front or back will press the teeth
more or less into the soil. There could
be seat put onto 1t. but 1t is better

OF arrival, because Of the favorable
market, only about one-third of the
shipment came In by closing time. and
IL was noon the next day before the
remainder was delivered.
The long. winding trail did not end
ut the wholesalers. Once unloaded.
the peaches were put on display for
the benefit OF various jobbers, some OF
whom purchased few dozen crates
and some larger amounts. Some OF
these men were situated within two or
three squares of the wholesaler and
their purchases were delivered on
hand trucks. In the. case of other job
beers another wagon transfer was nee
essary.
Next in this process which econo-
mists call distribution, came the retail
ers to look over the lots, In the end
buying small quantities such as they
could sell In day or two. This, or
course, necessltated another handling
and carting over the city's rough pave
ments.
Last, but not least, came the con-
sumers, each buying only small frac-
ton Of crate and paying big share
Of the expense all the handling had
entailed.
Carriage 10 Costly.
This instance Is no exaggeration,
A very large part OF the fOodstufs
brought to American cities goes over
some such devious trail. One Wash
ington %. c. wholesale merchant has
stated that he spends $4,000 year
for cartage which could be saved II
the city had wholesale terminal
where cars could be unloaded directly
into premises occupied by the whole
salers. Following an investigation In
New York city II was estimated by
local organization that the saving In
handling costs which would result II
adequate terminal facilities were es-
tablished would be S2,000,O00 annual
ly by the borough Of Richmond;
SS.OOOOOO by Queens; $18.0O0.0O0 by
the Bronx; S21 100000 by Brooklyn.
and an even vaster sum by Manhat-
tan.
Marketing experts admit that there
are many battling aspects to the high
cost-of-living problem. but contend
that the remedy fer the phase Of our
costly distribution system just de-
scribed Is plain. Cities which will pro-
vide modern Wholesale terminals,
where shipments can be delivered
from the railroad cars direct to whole
salers few feet away, will make pos
sble the saving Of immense sums Of
money now charged up to the con-
sumner.

Along In the late summer and fall
roasted and broiled guinea fowls APP
pear on the menu of many of the best
metropolitan hotels and restaurants.
The value Of the guinea fowl as sub
stitute for game birds. such as grouse.
partridge, quail and pheasant, is be-
coming more and more recognized by
those who are fond of this class of
meat, and the demand for these fowls
is increasing steadily. United States
department of agriculture specialists
say. Hotel and restaurant stewards In
the large cities are eager to secure
prime young guineas, which are often
served at banquets and club dinners
as special delicacy. When well
cooked, gulneas are attractive in APP
pearance. although darker than COM
mon fowls. The flesh Of young birds
Is tender and of especially fine flavor.
resembling that of wild game. Like
all other fowls, old guineas are very
likely TO be tough and rather dry.
Eastern Markets Pay Best.
The highest prices for guinea fowl
are paid in the large Eastern markets.
Guinea raisers who are near these
markets. or who have developed
trade among private customers receive
prices that make this industry very
profitable. One poultryman located
near New England summer resort
has raised as many as 400 guineas in
one season, selling them In August,
when they weigh about one pound
each, at SIPS pair. Wholesale
prices In New York usually range
from S1.25 to SIZE pair for dressed
spring guheas weighing two pounds to
the pair, and from S1.50 to 50 a pair
for those weighing three to four pounds
to the pair. Old guineas are not in
as good demand and seldom bring
more than 80 or 60 cents pair.
In, the city markets of the middle
West and South the demand for
guinea fowl is small. and the prices
are correspondngly low, the average
price received by the producer being
from 20 to 30 cents each. The or
binary retail price for guneas In
Birmingham. Ala. Is from 30 to 40

IMPORTANCE OF MALE BIRDS
Exert Much Influence In Producing
Qualities Of offspring-Two
Glasses Of Hens.

Doctor Pearl. formerly of the Maine
experiment station. makes mention Of
the fact that among the high .produc.
ing hens there are two classes. one
class having the ability to transmit
their high laying qualities to their
daughters and the other class being
poor breeders. 1t simply amounts to
the selection by means of the trap nest
of the high layers. These I'm turn are
mpted to sons of high layers and the
progeny Of the mating is again tested
az to egg production. II Is agreed by
the most careful observers that the
male bird exerts a very important in.
fiuence In the producing qualities OF
the offspring, and that good hen
mated to poor male would likely
give very Indifferent results.

DAY FOR DIGGING POTATOES

The table quality of potatoes Is In

Potatoes should be dug II possible.

wet enough to cling to them. advises
the college. They should be left in
the field only long enough to become
dry, then stored in place which is
cool and rather moist, and as dark as
possible.
Under ordinary home storage condi-
lions, because of the danger of decay.
1t Is not wise to haze the potatoes more
than two and one-half or three feet
deep, either in pile or In a box. says
an agricultural college potato man.
