KILLING, DRESSING,
AND PACKING POULTRY

PoJltry SHOULD bc kept without any
hard feed from Is to 81 hours before
killing, but Il light meal of soft feed
can nc given up 10 - hours before xiii.
ing. Water should be given them a.. to
time of killing, say poultry spc alists
of the United State Department Of
Agriculture. When ready to Kill, sus.
pend fowl by the legs and, using a
knife, cut the vein at the .HrK cf the
throat through the mouth. ~ soon as
this vein is cut run tae point % the
knife through the roof of the lloIth
into the brain and give the knife Il
slight turn, which causes the bird TO
lose all sense of feeling.
In most market dry-piekeJ birds are
preferred Immediately after killing,
while the bird is still bleeding, the pi"-
ker should remove the feathers, bciag
careful not to tear the skin. If the
picker waits until the bird partly
cold, the feathers will be difficult to
remove. AS soon as picked the fowls
should be hung in cool place until
thoroughly cold. If the weather is
warm and fowls are to be packed IN
ice where no cold storage is availa',,,
they should he Fhsee1 ne hnr+-uf ice
water until all the animal heat has
left the body.
When birds are scalded before re-
moving t:ir feathers they are miners
ei in hot water, which should be a
it'll below the boiling poiut, as soon
as they are through bleeding, They
should be immersed three of f0Lr times
and then picked clean. Be careful not
to overscald, az this will cause the
outer surface of the skin to ru0 of,
If fowls are to be shipped dry. they
should be hung up nutil the skin pp-
comes thoroughly dry. 1t they are to
be packed in ice, they should be left in
cold water several hours or Jntil they
are to be packed.

A WELL PLOTTED TRIP


Some time last Saturday, perhaps
after dark, when all was still in the
streets in darkness, q number of our
men congregted and smoked off for a
trip to the by.
1t all went fine, but on account of the
I'D condition of our light plant the Bay.
on was dark all the way, while the
moon lighted up Ciina, the mud flats
could not seeto get out of the WY and
came near being run over, but the BOYS
were energetic and hustled to back the
boat off, taking their time, all the wav.
The credit was given TO ~ Chigi Cap
tian for his excellent plotting in the
dark,
Tho rs;i.'ant pilot WAS more success
fni. He did not get to any mud flats,
and was wonderful il his plotting, ex.

MISS EDNA WINSTON
GIVES SONG RECITAL
Has Excellent Voice, but Is
Lacking in Skill.

Miss Edna Winston, described on the
programme as a dramatic soprano, gave
her second song recital of the season
in Aeolian Hall yesterday afternoon.
She was previously heard on February
q. The list OF numbers presented by
Miss Winston evinced a desire to have
herself regarded as a singer of operatic
calibre and also abilities in the most
exacting kind Of lieder, Ponchelli and
Puccini contributed operate excerpts
while Schubert and Schumann were
called upon for the lyric tests
Undoubtedly Miss Winstons voice be-
longs to opera, though in this field she
might encounter difficulties not to be
sung out of notice But she is the pos
SCISSOR Of vocal instrument OF very
large power and excellent quality. For
tunatcly. she is young, for she has much
to learn, even before she can strut her
brief hour behind the footlights. 1t will
be still longer before she is ready to
reach the hearts OF hearers with songs
by the masters OF that intimate species
of art.
Miss Winston's singing yesterday, as
at her first recital. was deficient in
technical skill to an extent that robbed
many of her tones of their natural
beauty. or finish in the treatment of
phrase and the means OF expression she
showed almost nothing. Her style was
rough crude and immature. With such
a voice as hers, however, much might
be accomplished. even though the in
intelligence behind it should
eventually prove 10 be small.
