GUINEAS MAY BE MARKETED
WHEN YOUNG AND SMALL

The marketing season for guinea
fowl is during the latter part of sum-
mer. and throughout the fall. At this
time the demand in the city markets
is for young birds weighing from to
2 pounds each. At about 21a months
old guineas weigh from 1 to 11a lbs,
and at this size they begin reaching
the markets in August. AS the season
advances the demand is for heavier
birds.
The usual practice in marketing
game birds is to place them on the
market unplucked, and in most mark
cts guineas are sold Il lis way. They
appear more attractive with feathers
on, and sell more readily. Dressed,
the small size. and dark color OF the
skin are likely to prejudice the pros
pective customer who may be unfa-
miliar with the birds excellent eating
qualities. For hotel and restaurant
trade, however, guineas should be
dressed in the same way as common
fowl. Better ask the dealer, before
shipping, whether he wants the feath-
ers on or off.
The Department of Agriculture has
learned that if the feathers are to pc
left on the birds all that is necessary
in preparing for market is to bleed
them by severing the principal blood
vessels of the neck, allowing them to
hang head downward until bleeding is
complete.
If the feathers are to be removed it
should be done by dry picking. When
the brain is pierced after severing the
blood vessels in the neck the feathers
are loosend by a convulsive movement
of the muscles and can be removed
! easily
