A new era I'm American progress

entire states were transformed from

westward by the relentless march of
railroad expansion.
Today our country faces problems

writes f. c. TibbltS in Motor. The
future welfare of vast communities is
at stake. There IS dire need Of unified
concentration on the subject of good
roads; and need of vigorous harmOni-
Gus action, by one big federated body
of all organizations interested in good
roads. DissensiOn or jealousy should
not creep into good roads activities on

apparent. We are all after the same

HINTS ON PREPARING
SQUADS FOR MARKET
Usually Killed in Same Manner
as Other Poultry.
Fowls Should Be Washed, Cleaned
and Graded According to Size and
Quality-Small Birds Tend to
Lower Price of Shipment

Squads are usually killed in the
same manner as pOultry-by cutting
the arteries in the back part of the
roof of the mouth and piercing the
BRAIN but if sent to market without
pluCking they are usually killed by
pressing the thumb against the neck,
where il joins the head, until il Is dis
located. In sticking, the squads are
hung by their legs on nails or hooks,
with their wings double-locked. After
they are stuck, the feathers, with the
exception of those on the head, are i'm
mediately plucked clean. using dull
knife for the pinfeathers, and the birds
are cooled either by placing them in
cold water or by hanging them in a
cool place. If the crop contains any
feed, il should be cut open and thor
oughly washed.
Squads should be washed. cleaned
and graded according to size and quail
