The woods need not occupy good
farm land that will grow other
crops. Trees should, as a rule, be
located on land not suited for cul
tivation, such as gullied or very
rock land, swamps, steep slopes,
and barren soils. Unused corner and
small, uncultivated spots about the
farm are good pilaces for growing
trees as a crop.

CANDLING IS USED
TO DETECT EGGS
NOT GOOD FOR FOOD
Makes it Possible to Detect Eggs
Containing Blood Spots.
Candling consists of holding an
egg at an angle of 45 degrees, large
end up, and twirling it before a
light which is placed behind so that
it will shiriq through a circular
opening; an arrangement that vir
tually constitutes a candle, states
a writer in the Los Angeles Times.
By looking at the egg toward this
light, working in darkened quart
ers you can determine the interior
quality. You can check the size of

The air cell, the shadow of which
you can see when candling, is an
air space usually found at the large
end of the egg. It is about the size
of a dime when the egg is cooled.
Since the egg shell is porous, evap
oration occurs inside the egg and
the air cell incitqases in depth as
the contents of the egg decreases in
volume.

SLACK-SCALD METHOD
> BEST PICKING BIRDS
Gives the Dressed Birds a Very
Clean Appearance
FREE OF TORN SKIN
Poultrymen who sell dressed
broilers and fowls at retail this year
should realize that the slack-scald
or semi-scald method of picking the
birds is the most satisfactory.
When the slack-scald method is
used, dressed birds have the plump
clean appearance and the keeping
qualities of dry-picked birds, yet
they artei free from torn skin which
is often found on dry-picked broil
ers.
The slack-scald * method consists
of immersing the bird for 30 sec
onds in water heated to a tempera
ture of 126 to 130 degrees Fahren
heit. For broilers the water tem
perature should be from 126 to 128
degrees, while fowls require a
highfer temperature of 128 to 130
degrees. Higher temperatures pro-
duce scald spots which often result
from the ordinary method of scald
ing, but lower temperatures will
not loosen the feathers.
Bldeding must be complete be
fore scalding, otherwise red crops
will result. Move th e birds back
ward and forward in the water to
make sure the water reaches the
skin through the feathers. Remove
the feathers by pulling rather than
rubbing them off.

When all feathers have beten re
moved, immeraei the carcass in cold
water for 15 to 20 minutes, then
transfer it to ice water for threte
hours. This will remove the body
heat and improve the keeping
qualities of the bird.
