Desirable quality in the flesh Of
poultry intended for table use depends
on the flavor Of the flesh; on the tex
ture; on the amount of flesh in pro-
portion to the weight Of the bird; and
on the distribution of both the flesh
and the larger masses Of fat over the
carcass. Other things being equal, the
flesh Of the females usually is milder
than that Of the males. say home
economic specialists Of the United
States Department Of Agriculture.
Caponizing makes the flavor Of cocks
more delicate, tends to produce finer
and less tough muscle 6bers, and in
creases the size Of the masses Of meat,
especially in the breast.
Effects Of Age on Flavor.
Age tends to increase flavor. at first
advantageously, but later usually, dis
advantageously. Most very young
birds have flavor too mild to be sat
lsfactory for stewing or fricassee. but
make splendid eating as broilers or
flyers. The delicacy Of flavor usual
ly is lost in decidedly old birds. As
the bird grows older. the proportion
Of flesh to bone usually increases. at
least up to the period Of full matur-
ity. Often the large masses Of flesh
found on such birds can be utilized
more satisfactorily than the smaller
ones found on young and scrawny
chickens.
Exercise affects the favor and tex
ture Of poultry flesh, as in any kind
Of meat. It toughens the fibers and
the connective tissues, and lessons the
amount of fat. It may also affect the
distribution Of flesh on the carcass In
creasing the naturally strong, tough
muscles rather than the less-used, ten
der ones. In some birds. notably
chickens, the exercise can be con-
trolled. Almost any poultry. however,
can safely be penned for few days
before killing.
The difference between the flesh of
"a plump chicken and Of lean one
Of similar kind and age is due princi-
Epally to the fat present. The skill Of

TIE STORYOF
OUR STATES
By JONATHAN BRACE

OKLAHOMA


able under the Homestead Act was diff
cult to find 30 the United States bought
from the Indians, who had been seq
.regated in Indian territory, a large
tract of some 10000 square miles that
had been used largely by the Indians
as pasture for their cattle and horses
This was called Oklahoma, q word
meaning fine country" and was AZ
ranged to be ready for sale to home
steaders at IL o'clock noon Of April
q, 1880. Troops were placed on
guard to prevent any settlers entering
before that time for more than 100. 600
boomers" as they were called came
from all over the country to obtain
farms or places for business. On the
stroke Of the hour, bugles sounded and
the mad rush by men. women and chill.
dren to locate claims began. The gov
eminent had arranged land Offices at
many places at which claims could be
filed for the farms or city lots, and
all that day these were besleged by
fighting mobs to register their selec-
lions. Before nightfall hundreds Of
farms were staked out and Oklahoma
City and Guthrie were well on their
way to become cities. The latter In
particular seemed to burst full fiedged1
from grassy plain to bustling city. In
less than three hours four business
blocks were laid out, and lined with
tents In which were shops and Offices.
A city council was elected at four
o'clock with over 10000 votes cast
and the Oklahoma Herald issued its
first edition before all the boomers
had reached town. In less than six
months Guthrie had four newspapers,
electric lights, street cars. and half a
dozen banks. Additional lands were.
opened up for settlement In later. years
and the same scenes Of phenomenal
growth were re-enacted,
Thus was developed this region
which came into the possession Of the.
United States as part of the Louisi-t
ana Purchase in 1903 and which was
set aside for so many years as Indian
country. Previous to the formation;
Of Oklahoma territory, congress had
forbidden white settlers in this part
Of the country, and this edict was en-.
forced BY federal troops. As the de-
mand for more land was felt and as
the Indians decreased in numbers, In.
dian territory was added to- Oklahoma,
territory, and in 1907 1t was admitted
TO the Union as the State Of Oklahoma,
adding another star to our flag, which
for, eleven years had contained forty

an extent that 1t has ten presidential
electors. which is more than double
that Of many Of the older states Of
