Growers Learn
Proper Turkey
Dressing Method
DEMONSTRATIONS SHOW HOW TO
GET BEST GRADES AND
PRICES

The final one of series of turkey
dressing demonstration meetings con-
Quoted last week throughout the coun
| ty was held Saturday morning at the
Hidden Treasure ranch of D. j. Burch
near White Bluffs with about IL in
terested turkey raisers in attendance.
The demonstration Saturday was
conducted by B. F. Patheal in coopera-
ton with County Agent E. G. Durdle,
w. E. Starkey Of Yakima, noted tur-
key authority in this part of the state,
was also present and addressed the
meeting.
THE turkey that goes on the mar
ket before it is in proper condition is
a loss to the producer and a detri-
ment to the entire turkey market"
said Mr. Patheal
Other points brought out in the dis
cussion were that the turkey that is
marketed before it is in good flesh
SO that it will dress out and make
nice looking bird and thus be demand
ed by the consuming public. is not
ready to dress The turkey that is
fat and yet is full of pinfeathers, is
not ready for market. Pin feathers
left on the breast are particularly OBJ
jectionable.
Turkey growers may increase the re-
turns to be received for these birds by
carrying them certain length of time
to permit the pin feathers to develop
or the bird to take on flesh SO that
when dressed out it will look we'll.
With feed prices at the present level
this usually can be done and show
neat net return to the grower, the
bird gaining in weight more than
enough to offset any slight decrease
in the market price and besides grad
ing out better than when marketed
early.
After the bird has been put in prop
err condition for marketing then it Is
essential that asgood job of dessing be
done. The proper dressing of tur-
key was discussed by Mr. Patheal and
Mr.. Starkey. Growers were shown the
proper methods of bleeding and stick
! ing as well as proper methods OF
picking. Especial emphasis was laid by
! both parties demonstrating on the nee
essity of handling the birds carefully
SO as not to burn" the bird over any
part of the body BY burning" is
meant the removal of the bloom or
very thin skin over the entire carcass
SO that when the bird has been left
for few hours dark spots show upon
the skin. This is of no real conse-
quence as far as eating qualities are
concerned but does do much to over
come the appearance of otherwise a
we'll dressed bird
Turkey growers at all of the meet
ings were very appreciative of the
meetings and it is believed they will
be able to realize considerably more
from their flocks from the following
of practices demonstrated at the meet
ings.

Interesting Relic
Found on Mountain

A sword found recently by Henry
Chairman on the south Of Gable
mountain and brought to the Spokes-
man office, has been the object OF
much interest this week.
Except for the nickel or silver plat
ed portions, the scabbard is heavily
coated with rust, indicating that it has
lain out in the weather for several
years. The sword itself. however, be-
ing protected by the scabbard, except
for little rust just below the hilt, is
as bright and shiny as ever.
The letters, "F G B" on one side of
the silver mounting, just below the
handle of the sword, and ~ r" on
the other, caused considerable specu-
lation until DR.. Newton remembered
that his father had been a member
of the Knights of Pythias and said
that in his opinion the sword had at
some time belonged to some division
of that lodge.
He said the letters "F G B" stood
for Faith. Charity and Benevolence"
and the "U r" for uniform Regalia. f"
Later r. E. Gibbins, member of the
knights of Pythias, confirmed this.
This, apparently, has determined
the origin of the sword but who owned
it and how it came to be discarded
on Saddle mountain is still to be ex-
planned.
The encyclopedia says that the
knights of Pythias lodge was first or
ganized in. 1864 and that the branch
Uniform Regalia" was established in
1878.

RECIPE FOR IA
HAPPIER NEW YEAR

The wise man promises many
years to those that are obedient to
his words. This is a New Years
message worth needing.
What, however. If our lives are
cut short by some swift disease or
some terrible accident? We have
listened to the words of the wise,
we have obeyed them according to
our light. What then becomes OF
the promise of many years?
Not one word of the Almighty
shall fall to the ground! Whatever
mis- chance may befall us. the years
of our life shall be many. For we
who are Gods children are heirs of
Gods eternity. This is the glorious
assurance we take with us this new
year. 1891 shall be to us the be-
ginning of the endless years.
Life, eternal life-we should be
appalled, at the tremendous prospect,
our Saviour, if we were not walking
forth with Thee. But Thou art our
Comrade. And all our endless years,
with Thee, are a blessedly familiar
place.
