Echoes of Miss Regina Connell’s debut dance are heard on évery side this morning. “Wasn't it a pretty party?” they exclaim, and everyone gladly assents. Only one person who attended the . affair, however, knows what commotion one of the gentle- men present caused on his way home. The gentleman wernt to the party alone. Madame, his wife, has recently gone east for a short trip, and so he left his car at home and used the street car as his conveyance. Coming home early in the evening, he was accosted at a junction where he was waiting for a car by a man who wheedled a nickel fromr him. When he boarded the street car for which he had waited, the conductor was quite overcome by the unusual sight of a high silk hat. He stole surreptitious glances at it, he winked at a man riding on the platform with him, and when the silk- hatted one got off, after a few blocks. he giggled openly. Soon the car reached a railroad crossing, and the motorman ‘opened his door with a loud ha-ha. “Didn’t you know who that was, you boob?” quoth he. “Well, I'm not used to seeing ‘silk hats,” the conductor ‘said .in_self-defense. Loud and long laughed the motor- man. They reached another track and he resumed the conversation. “Ha ha, you were laughing at him, didn’t you have no better sense? Why he's one of the directors of this company.” National Secretary in Omaha. Mrs. Gertrude F. Martin of Ithaca, N.

It was not so many years ago that fowls were killed in the morn- ing, to be eaten for supper. House- wives in those days had to rely on the poultry brought to their doors in farmers’ wagons and baskets for their table supply. As distances be- tween the fowl-raising districts and the consumer became greater, poul- try was packed in ice in such a fashion that it would last for a week. This method, which to a certain ex- tent exists today, is most unsatis- factory and fowls so packed are often unfit for consumption. Do not con- fuse such methods of ice packing with the system of - refrigeration which carries the poultry in cars cooled to the exact temperature re- quired and kept so during the long trip by renewal of ice and salt. This, of course, never touches the contents. Feeding Fowl for Market, There .is no better illustration of the improvement in food standards than the manner in which fowls are raised, killed, transported, graded and offered to the consumer, in com- parison with the hap-hazard system in vogue:not many years ago. This become a highly specialized | busines Improperly handled poul try is still on the market. The in- | telligent housewife can, however, guard herself against buying it and putting it on her table by buying | fowl by brand or house name, The best New York hotels demand Sill's|j t poultry. They know they will get|t correct quality, weight and | service. The retail consumer may have the same kind of protection v | by patronizing a house of national |t | reputation. | The big concerns that handle first grade poultry do so in large quanti- ties. Their buyers comb the corn belt of the middle west; Oklahoma is prolific in poultry and Texas has quantities of turkeys. These fowls |y are all scientifically fed and reared. No barnyard fowls are accepted. The barnyard fowl is a scavenger; add to that the fact that there no flesh so quickly tainted with ir proper food as that of fowl and you !, will demand properly fed fowl! for your consumption. First-class | fowls, bred for the market, are fed on the best of corn flour, with the judicious addition of butter and pure meat juice. The result is not only a triumph of delicate, clean flesh, but a gastronomic delight. Distribution of Poultry. The manner by which poultry raised in remote parts of the country gets to the city markets in perfect condition is very interesting. stock is bought from the farmers and carried to various feeding stations, where the fattening process is gener- ally continued from ecight to fourteen | days under the most modern condi- tions with plenty of light and air, and fed on scientifically balanced rations. Some breeds will double in weight during the period. Great care is taken in transporting. stock to the feeding stations. Turkeys, for in- stance, are harmed by tying and put- ting in wagons. Prime turkeys now are slowly driven along the road, per- haps a thousand at a time, fed and rested at intervals, and this is one of the sights of the turkey raising dis- tricts. Turkeys are not allowed to roost, for the reason that this bends the breast bone. The straight breast bone and fat filet is one of the stand- ard marks of first-class turkeys. Modern Methods. The modern method of fowl killing is the one approved of the United States government research stations, and it is rather interesting to note that it fulfills the Rabinical law as well as that of modern hygiene, in re- spect to the fact that the bird is instantaneously and completely bled. This thorough bleeding renders the meat more white and wholesome. There is a special knife employed for the killing. The birds are hung by their feet, the knife inserted through the mouth, both arteries and veins pierced. Another deft twist reaches the brain tissue controlling the mus- cles which hold the feathers in place, so that feathers are easily removed and the bird plucked as he hangs, a much cleaner method than plucking on the lap. All first-class poultry is dry picked. A suspended cup catches the blood, the mouth is examined for any pos- sible clot of blood, feet and head are cleaned, and the clean, plucked fow! goes into the cooling room. In some of the establishments every process has been so systematized "that two | i | d Steer Pot Roast, 1b.....
