But whatever the way, the slaughter should bo done with least possible pain to the victim and to the sensibilities of humankind.

If you are engaged in winter dairying try to sell direct to consumers. Chickens are as apt. to catch ci>lds in ' windy weather as en rainy days. Heavy feeding of fowls just before killing is detrimental to quality. Don't fodder stock on the ground when it is so easy to provide racks.
