TIMELY SUGGESTIONS
ON PACKING POULTRY
Shippers Can Prevent Heavy
Losses by Proper Care.
Specialists OF Bureau Of Chemistry
Have Developed Improved Meth
ods for Bleeding, Killing, Chill
ina and Storing.

Poultry shippers may avoid heavy
losses from spollage by proper meth
ods of preparing and shipping their
birds to market. say the specialists OF
the bureau of chemistry. United States
department of agriculture, who have
developed improved methods for bleed
ing. killing, chilling, storing and pack
ing poultry If correct methods are
followed, poultry cnn be carried for
some time. even under adverse weather
and market conditions, with little loss
from spoilage Improperly packed
poultry, however. under such adverse
conditions, is likely to be n total
loss.
The specialists recommend the fol-
lowing methods for handling dressed
poultry:
l. Never handle birds roughly.
either before or after killing. since
such treatment causes bruises, broken
bones, scarlet skins and soft places IN
the flesh.
?. Food In the crop or in the intes-
tines of dressed birds causes loss OF
than offset any gain from extra weight.
For this reason n chicken or turkey
should not be killed when the crop is
full of feed. Give the bird only water
for "a hours before IL is killed

particularly undesirable because 1t has
tens decay.
.. Chill every dressed bird until the
body temperature Is below 30 degrees
Fahrenheit. Never pacl; or ship an
imperfectly chilled bird More de-
cay is due to imperfect chilling than
to any other single factor In dressing.
Dry chill, If possible. Chickens cooled
in water lose flavor. decay sooner and
will not cold-stora as satisfactorily rs
dry.chilled. Refrigerator cars will
carry well-chilled birds In good condi-
ion, but they cannot chill warm birds
TO sufficiently low temperature.
g. Pack in boxes or small kegs
whenever possible. A large barrel
makes an undesirable package because
where poultry is packed in large
masses the weight of the upper layers
crushes the birds at the bottom.
I. Line all packages with parchment
paper and cover the top of the poultry
before the lid is put on.
s. Wrap every head in suitable pa
per so that blood from one bird will
not mar the appearance of another.
o. Use only good refrigerator cars
and see that they are In good condi-
tion. Ice and salt the car "a hours be-
fore loading. The car at the end OF
"a hours should show Temperature
below 40 degrees Fahrenheit at point
four feet above the floor and between
the doors.

and shipping poultry viii be sent upon
