HOW TO CLIP WING OF FOWL
Plan for Performing Operation
Without Disfiguring.

When fowls won't stay inside the
fence, wings have to be clipped, to
protect the garden and flower beds.
The Cornell experiment station recon-
mends the following plan for clipping
the wing so it will stay clipped with
out disfiguring the fowl;
Remove few feathers around the
second Joint. Spread the wing out to
its full width and you win see just be-
meath the skin on the outer edge OF
the second joint small white liga-
ment or cartilage. Insert small knife
blade under the ligament and cut 1t in
two, pulling upward and outward on
the knife. Then cut a piece from the
end of the cartilage one-sixteenth of
an inch long. This may be done with
pair of scissors or with knife. The
object In removing this section Is so
the cartilage will never grow together
again. Since no major arteries are en-.
countered, you will find this very
simple and practically bloodless oper-
alton.
