Poultry Letter Mr. Editor: ; A lafge part of the profit in poultry keeping often depends on the marketing ot the product, and the poultry man should study the market demands as to how, when and where to dispose of his pro duct to the best advantage. An attractive appearance is of gnat advantage and the producers slTuu d study the details of killing, dres sing, crating or cooping, if shipped alive, in order to arrange the products in the best possible man ner. The requirements for dress ing, packing, and co sping vary i dllfireut markets. It is id way* best to leirn any >pecial requirements of toe mark t 10 which he ntends shipping or selling. We can nev.-r get the top market prices for pro due's carelessly dressed or packed. If the market to which we intehd shipping requires dressing, the bird should >e kept without feed from eighteen to twenty hours be fore killing, unless they arc to be drawn, then they should hive no feed for at least ten hours before killing. They should be deprived of water f»r eight hours. 'When ready to kill, suspend the fowl by the leys, using a knife, cut the vein at the back of the throat through the month. Then run the knife through the roof of the mouth into the brain. -If dry picked fowls are wanted, remove ;the feathers while the bird is still warm, being careful u»t to tear the skin. Then hang in a cool place until the fowl is cold. In warm weather and the packing 1 e done in ice, they should be put in ice water tifl the animal heat is out. When scalding, immerse the fowl in water a little below the boiling point. INutnpit by dipping in hot water and then in cold for fifteen or twenty minutes. Never over paid, as the outer skin is apt to rub off. If the fowls are to be shipped without ice, they should be thor oughly dry before packing. Some markets require the birds to be drawn, and when this is the case, it should be done befo e the birds are cool. A slit should l>e made near the end of the keel bone toward the vent, large enough to. admit ttie fingers; then cut careiully around the vent and pull out the intest ines, leaving everything else util-ss the market repuirements are other wise. The packages for dressed poul try, should be neit aud clean, and small enough to be handled easily; the inside of the packages should be lined with clean, unprinte paper. Eacli bird must be wrapped sepa rately in unprinted paptr. Pack solidly so the Iwrds can not shift in the packages. For delivery to retail customers, paste board boxes can be used, putting in alteruate layers of ice and birds. Live poul- try can be sold at a better profit than poorly dressed fowls. _ Slated .coopu. are the safest to use, so plenty of air can be had. Never crowd tlie fowls: it is best to use several partitions;. We should never mix colorw or varieties in the same coop. In placing the stock on the market, w"fe may deal with the con sumer, retailer or commission merchant. Probably the best profit can be had in sales to the con sumer. The retailer will usually give fancy prices so as to supply his trade. The simplest method is to sell to the commission metchant, though returns are not so great. It is largely a matter of market conditions, your circumstances anl the class of business you do whether small or great. To sum up; we must have the best sto.-k, prepare t nicely for the market, and we may be sure that the returns will be profitable. The Implement Co., RICHMOND, VA.
