Boston Market Requirements
For Preparation and
Shipping of Poultry

(By o. H. Thompson. Poultry Com
mission Merchant, Boston,
Dealing first with the shipping Of
live poultry, I cannot emphasize too
strongly the advisability of using
strong though not too heavy, ship
ing crates, discarding the old worn
out ones.
I advise never to ship large fan
cy roasting chickens alive. Such
almost invariably sell to much
better advantage when dressed for
market. On the other hand. poultry
of poor quality, though it should not
marketed alive. There Is no fatten-
ing or so-called finishing of live
poultry by receivers or buyers in
Boston.
Let me bring to your attention
this fact that New England produc-
ers have a decided advantage over
other producing sections in that
your product can and does, when
properly handled, attain quality
of meat and selling style not posi-
Bile with the western product and
So always sells for higher prices and
is used by a more discriminating
class of buyers. whereas the poorer
quality native poultry which cannot
have the advantage Of proper grad
ing has to be sold in competition
with the western goods.
Avoid marketing chickens either
too early or too late in their growth.
The killing of half grown, un-
developed chickens Is distinctly an
economic loss. as such invariably
sell for much lower prices than full
grown and well fattened birds
weighing five pounds and over. On
the other hand never allow roasters
to live long enough to become stag
gy. with spurs beginning to pro-
trude, for they are then going down
hill fast in quality and must be
sold accordingly.
The market Is always satisfactory
on large, fancy, well fattened native
roasting chickens.
I strongly advise against the
various leghorn breeds. AS poultry
they are third raters and always
sell at law prices and, while this
may antagonize some Of the growers
who keep leghorns for their large
egg production, 1t is certainly my
experience that their eggs are small
er, lack style and color and sell for
somewhat, lower prices than the
eggs from the larger breeds of poul-
try.
Get into the capon game. Capons
are coming more and more in de-
mand. They grow much larger than
rooster chickens on but little more
food expense, are better meat than
any but the very best chickens, sell
for higher prices and If properly
handled are great money makers.

light enough to be handled easily.
and less serum and virus are re-
quired.
weaving, tho generally thought Of
as the nrocedure of separating
mother and young, in the case Of
pigs is more than that. They are
the victim Of many foreign infiuen-
ces and activities over which they
have no control AS consequences
they must be handled under sys-
tenn of feeding and care that will
provide energy for growth as well
as energy for vitality to withstand
these unnatural conditions. Best
results come from regulating the
events of the pigs lives SO that
those activities which harbor posi-
BILE backsets will be made to appear
and will be taken care Of one at a
time, or in other words, on the In
stallment plan.

Orchard Management
BY G. A. Yeaton, State Horticulturist

10y W. "A. 1cdton, State Horticulturfst
Augusta
Drainage Is the most ,,nor+.nt
FACTOR in starting a commercial or
chard. When we speak of drainage we
mean both water and air The trees
VIII never be vigorous, productive or
lohg lived if water stands around
thelr roots and to make sure of this
the water table should be at least one
Ioot and half below the surface. Air
drainage plays a large part in the
game. slight elevation above the
surrounding country will some
tunes be sufficient to ward off the dan
ger of injury from late frosts.
Nearly all of the nursery compan-
les put out three grades of trees
designated as No. 1-2-3, all of those
were started under the same condi-
lions and grew in the same rows In
the nursery. The No. are from 81
IT,, NO. from As TT. and No. from
ga #.
The land should be prepared for the
trees py careful cultivation the year
previous and some hoed crop should
he grown to take care of the expenses
while the trees are coming to bearing
age.
After the head Is formed, little
pruning will be necessary other than
to correct bad crotch that may form
or crossing branch that will later
give trouble. Too much pruning will
delay fruiting and will also have an
erect toward stunning the growth of
the tree. Grow the tree as fast as II
Is safe the first five years.
When the orchard has reached bear
Ing age We must give 1t the care that
VIII keep 1t in healthy, growing
condition from the fact that there is a
correlation between the wood growth
and bud formation It apparently
makes little difference whether we
practice clean culture or the sod mulch
system. On hillsides that are steep
enough to cause serious errosions. the
sod mulch will be found more practi-
cal, but when cultivation is feasible
this method will give profitable re-
suits and Is recommended by the best
growers. II we are to use the sod
mulch we must not depend on the
grass that grows in the orchard to
supply all the fertilizing element that
the tree requires. This must be SUD-
plemented by some quick acting nitro
genous fertilizer like nitrate Of soda.
or sulphate of ammonia and this
should be applied about the time the
buds are bursting open, to get the
best results.
All dead or diseased wood should be
taken out and any branches that
show signs of running out, removed
as 1t Is only on healthy wood that we
get fancy apples. Keep the tree
thinned enough so that the sunlight
can reach each apple that it may have
color and quality. Spray enough to
keep the tree healthy and the fruit
clean
