: Killing And Dressing
! Turkeys For Market
Turkeys which have been properly
i fed and cared for are ready for mari
ket In from, twenty-four to twentyi
eight weeks from the time they are
hatched. It Is very essential that only
turkeys which are in good physical
condition and free from small pin.
feathers be marketed or Killed and
dressed for home use. A prime turkey,
particularly a young one, should
not normally have an excessive
| amount of fat. but It should have an
even covering of fat so that the skin
appears white or Ivory rather than
blush In color.
Breast of the turkey must be well
covered with flesh and the whole carcass
should be free from small plnfeainet?
and- feruls&s- w. ?Kio. abrasions.
This means that great care
must be taken In handling the birds
so that they do not run against fences
or hoppers or other obstruction which
would cause body bruises, and they
should he handled very gently to avoid
damage to the outside parts of the
carcass.
If the birds ?re io be killed " 'ho
late afternoon or evening, give them
a light feed of mash early In the
morning. Withhold the scratch grain
during tho day of killing. The purpose
of this is to avoid a cropful of
feed at the time the bird is slaughtered.
All birds being held for slaughter
should have free access to water
up until the time of killing. It is
much easier to dress a turkey with
an empty crop than a full one. Also,
the appearance of the carcass If It Is
to be sold Is much better with an emp!
ty crop than with a full one, and It
Is for this reason that birds with a
full crop when dressed bring a lower
grade, therefore a lower price when
sold.
When the turkey Is to be killed,
hang it up by the feet, holding the
' head in one hand being careful not to
| compress the veins in the neck. Open
' the mouth and cut the jugular vein
far back to the throat Just below the
base of the skull. For this purpose,
use the point of a sharp, narrowbladed
knife. As soon as the blood
begins to flow freely, push the knife
point up to the groove in the roof of
the mouth and Into the brain at the
back of the skull. This operation renders
the bird unconscious. When the
proper spot In the brain is reached,
the bird gives a peculiar squawk, the
tail feathers spread and all the feathi
era of the body are loosened by a
quivering of the muscles.
I After this operation, continue to
hold the bird's head and hang a blood
can or a weight with a hook attached
either to the lower Jaw or through
the nostrils. The turkey's wings
should never be locked nor Bhould
they be held tightly, as this usually
results in broken bones or dislocated
Joints due to the reflex struggles of
the bird. The weight of the blood
can or other object which is used to
keep the bird properly stretched out,
should weigh from three to four
pounds for a medium sized turkey.
It is Important In dry-picking that the
i feathers be removed immediately,..Qth1
erwi&e tTfey fTsel'r and'become difficult
, to pick.
i if the proper point in the brain has
been reached by the blade of the
knife, the feathers come out very
I easily. Tail and large wing feathers
should bq ^renipy.ed jarat;... then the
body feathers, leaving the small wing
feathers, neck and upper breast feathers
until last. Only a few feathers
should be pulled out at a time, Ahd
they should not be rubbed off, as this
injures the skin and spoils the appearance
of the dressed bird. Drypicking,
of course, can be learned best
by personal instruction and by practical
experience.
I After the bird Is completely picked,
' the blood which remains in a clot In
the bird's mouth Bhould be snapped
out by a quick movement of the bird a
head. The vent then should be squeezed
to remove any droppings '[hkih
may be there. The feet, if <Jirty,
should be washed and dryed. These
precautions make for a clean carcass
and Improve the quality of the dressed
turkey. After picking and chilling
the bird, the head should be cover?<*
! with heavy wax paper if the birds
are to be sold. This, of course^ is
I unnecessary for home use. The wax
paper wrapping over the head present*
the blood from soaking thro?gh
: and smearing the carcass. If the skin
lis torn it may be sewed neatly' with
1 white thread. The loss in weight of
[tho dressed turkey over the original
live weight Is about 10 per cent, in
drawing turkeys with the head and
feet removed and giblets rePlac? '
there is further loss of about 16 per
cent.

Outdoor Program
The beautiful music of Christmas
tline. tripping feet in the rhythm of
the Unlit fantastic, an inspirational
message of Christmas-tide hy Rev. J.
U. Cast on, these were ?U part of a
colorful and beautiful Christmas festival
oflfered In Hampton Park M?n-t
day afternoon of last week by various,
agencies working under the direction
of the Chamber of Commerce
The events marked the formal opening
of Santa Claus liane and will
go down In Camden history as being
outstanding In character. Hundreds
of adulta and children tilled the big'
park ill front of thu platform ami
community tree in the afternoon and
between a thousand and twelve hundred
gathered to tako part In the
carol singing In the evening.
It was a picture that will ever linger
in the memory of all,who witnessed
it. The stately and brilliantly
lighted Christmas tree, the platform
bathed in the silvery radiance of powerful
flood lights, tho white costumes
of the glee club, the colorful outfits
of the dancing Cossacks, the. beauty
of the fairy dancers, the inspirational
appearance* of the caroUers, all provided
a setting that was impressive
und beautiful to an extremo.
The afternoon program started
when the lights on the community
tree were turned on while a group of
little folks under the direction of
Mrs. Virginia Davidson gave two ensemble
numbers, "Jingle Hells," pud
"I'm Waiting for Santa Claus."

the garments and boot tops and sIbo
of the hoods.'
At this Juncture the young folks
who figured in the recent tableau
when the Christmas seal sale was opened
appeared and sold a bond to
Santa Claus. Following this came
the singing of two carols, "O Little
Town of. Bethlehem" and "It Came
Upon a Midnight Clear."
Next came a Russian dance which
was well presented by a group In attractive
costumes. The high school
glee club under the direction of Mrs.
C. V. Salmond, offered two selections,
"Legend" and n request number.
Three carols, "Silent Night," "Joy
to The World" and "Praise God From
Whom All Blessings Flow" closed the
afternoon program.
In tho evening the carols offered
were the same as in the afternoon.
In the absence of Dr. Maurice Clarke,
who was called out of the city unexpectedly,
Clifton McKain acted as
leader for the singers.
Mr. Heath, of the Chamber of Commerce,
acted as master of ceremonies
and introduced Rev. J. B. Caston of
the Baptist church, who gave a most
inspiring talk relating to the Spirit
of Christmas. Then came more carols
after which two little tots from
the, Hermitage village offered a duet
that was accorded'lnuhh applause.
Following the singing of more ca- '
rols Mr. Heath closed the program
with a message of appreciation to all
who had aided in making the Santa
Claus I>ane a great success. On bohalf
of the Chamber of Commerce,
the city and the* business men he extended
to all a message of Christmas
hope and happiness.

Prevent Forest Flroa
Uncontrolled fires are the most destructive
of forest enemies. Forest
fires are very destructive, much dam-|
ago is done when a fire passes through
woods. It kills the seedlings or the
young trees. Injuries and kills large
trees, robs soil of humus and fertility,
kills and drives out game and wild j
life", reduces timber and lumber's
grade, hastens erosion by exposing the
soil, and sometimes burns homes and
other structures.
It has been estimated that 98 par
cent of the woodsflres are man caused
and the other 2 per cent are caused
by lightning. If 100 per cent of the
peoplo In this county knew the real
value of the forest and would cooperate
in the prevention and the suppression
of forest fires, the woods
fires would decrease over half of the
present number per year and the fires
that inrvraln get onx anyway would be'
put under control much quicker and
by doing this our forest would he
more beautiful and more profit would
be derived from the forest.
In spite of the woll directed efforts
In forest prevention, the usual amount
of carelessness or indifference, result
In the occurrence of a certain
number of fires. It is necessary therefore
that effective measures for Are
control to be put Into effort by the
landowner. Fire control measures Include:
Cooperation In protective activities
of the landowners of the community
or County In behnlf of prompt lire
protection from observation towers,
which also Includes the reporting of
fires.
Cooperation In community or County
activity In sending woll organized
and equipped Are-Aghting crews to the
Area. Maintain supply of Are-flghtlng
tools and equipment, and see that the
tenants and employees use them.
Divide property Into blocks by Are
breaks.
Make large areas accessible for
flra ' Aghters by a system of truck
trails.
Slaves of the Press
Ah a newspaper man, In chains to
the press for life, I have to read a
great many periodicals. Dally papers,
news magazines, literary publication,
trade papers, religious weeklies and
monthlies?these ceaselessly claim my
hours and thought. Too little tlm-9
la left for big books, and for leisurely
converse with friends.
Possibly what ails nil of ub is that
wo are too contemporary. Wo aro
"up to date" on too many things that
will soon.be out of date. Wo noglect
the timeless themes and tho wisdom
that has survived tho centuries. Our
forebears knew fewer facts than wo
know; but they also knew more about
really vital themes. They got more
wisdom from the txook than wo got
from all of our periodicals.?William
T. Ellis in the Detroit News.
