PREPARING BIRDS
FOR CITY MARKETS

The approach of the holiday season
usually means an increase in the ac-
tivities of the poultry raiser and farm
er who sends birds to market. Proper
methods of killing and plucking the
birds not only makes them more ac-
ceptable to the purchasing housewife,
but results in the poultryman receiv-
ing higher price for his product.
The ordinary farm practice in pre-
pairing poultry for the table is merely
the conventional guillotining with the
aid Of the family ak and the chopping
block. After the bird Is decapitated,
and the headless body stops Hopping
about the woodshed, it is hung by the
legs and dipped in scalding water af-
ter which the feathers are pulled out
and the carcass turned over to the
tender mercies of the cook. This kind
of killing has it's merits but there are
many disadvantages from the stand
point of marketing.
Food Is important to chickens at all
times, as what they eat during their
growing period has some influence on
their "eating qualities" But what they
have consumed in the two or three
weeks prior to being sacrificed" is
particularly important.
Fattening Methods
Two general methods of fattening
are recognized; namely, milk feeding
and corn feeding. To produce a par
ticularly good quality of flesh use milk
feeding, a special process of feeding
and handling. Corn feeding is any
other method, corn being one of the
most common poultry feeds.
In milk feeding use a mash largely
made up of cornmeal, wheat middlings
and buttermilk. This method of fat
tening takes skill. The, birds must be
taken to the killing room just as they
have taken on the maximum amount
of flesh, because after they have
reached that stage they lose weight
rapidly. Mature fowls stand this con-
centrated diet for from one week to
ten days and young chickens from
two to three weeks. During the fatter-
ing, the birds are usually confined in
batteries" which may be made up of
a series of poultry crates about two
by three feet in size with capacity
of from eight to twelve birds each.
Care must be taken to see that the
crates are well ventilated and kept
clean to prevent disease.

Once they are properly fattened,
poultry should not receive any food
for period of "a hours before they go
to the execution chamber. They should
be allowed access to water only during
the first IL hours of the fast, as that
helps to reduce shrinkage and aids the
digestive tract to empty.
If the fowls are not properly starved,
food products in the crop and intes-
tines begin to decompose. The walls
of the digestive tract are practically
bacteria-proof when they are nearly
empty, but when expanded they are
thinner and the germs can penetrate
them more easily, causing infection in
the surrounding flesh. Expanded in
testines are broken easier, too, when
the bird is being drawn.
Fowls which are properly starved
bleed better when killed. The correct
method Of slaughtering is one which
results in well-bled and attractive
carcass free from bruises, tears and
other exposed cuts.

articles on the preparation of poultry
for market, by the dept of Poultry
Husbandry, Washington State College.
The second article will appear next

HANFORD BUILDING
BURNED TO GROUND

Defective wiring is thought to have
been the cause of fire which COM
pletely destroyed the four-room home
of Mrs. Sarah Lampher at Hanford
Friday afternoon. ALI of Mrs. Lam
piers possessions, except few chairs,
were lost. The house was unprotected
by insurance.
Mrs. Lampher was visiting at the
Paul Crimson home across the street
when Mrs. Paisley, her next-door
neighbor, noticed the flames. The fire
had gained such a start, however that
nothing could be done to stop it.
Mrs. Lampher spent Friday night at
the home of Mrs. Ethel Remlinger in
White Bluffs, and is now living at the
Planters hotel in Hanford.

Andy will again be called out of

it is regretabe that he was assassinated
It would have been much better to have retired
him from public life through the recall and eventually
that would have happened for the people of Louisiana

doubtful if the world ever had man who was so
