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 a better-appearing market fowl,
but scnlding, which is easier, is often
preferred, If the bird is for home use.
Dry-picking should be done .mmedi-
atplv after the bird Is killed. as the
feathers then 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-
ors null off easily, but do not leave II
IN SO long that the skin scalds.
Cool the fowls after they are
nicked. either by hanging them up in
a cool place or soaking them in cold
or iced water. Fowls for market are
usually sold undrawn, but for home
or local use they may be drawn by re-
