10 POULTRY Specialists Urge Unusual Care in Preparing Fowls. Methods Recommended Which Are Eitential to Perfect Product at Any Time, Especially When Weather Is Unfavorable. Poultry packers are urged by the specialists of the United States de partment of agriculture to give unus ual attention to preparing and pack ing their birds for shipment, particu larly If the mild weather, which has been widely prevalent this autumn, continues. The poultry specialists say that the weather conditions in many sections have been very similar to those which prevailed in the, au tumn of 1913 and which, as poultry shippers will remember, proved dis astrous to all packers who did not dress, chill and pack properly. . The specialists, therefore, recom mend the particular observance of the following methods of handling dressed poultry, which are essential to a per fect product at any time and are of vital importance whenever weather conditions are unfavorable: Methods of Handling Dressed Poultry' 1. Keep the holding batteries for your incoming stock clean, well aired, and free from vermin, and see that the chickens have plenty of fresh water and plenty to eat. 2. Don't kill a chicken when the crop is full of feed. Give the chicken only water for 24 hours before it is killed. Food in the crop or In the In testines of a dressed chicken causes loss of flavor and hastens decay, which more than offsets any gain from extra weight. 3. Good bleeding is absolutely es sential to a good appearance on the market and retards decay. Circular 61, bureau of chemistry, department of agriculture, explains the best methods of bleeding and loosening the feath er muscles for dry picking. 4 Hang the chicken by both feet while picking. Hanging by one leg spoils the shape of the bird. Picking on the lap gets the skin dirty and hastens decay. 5. Pry pick If possible. Scalding Is particularly undesirable because it hastens decay. 6. Chill every dressed bird until the body temperature is below 35 degrees F. Never pack or ship an imperfectly chilled bird. More decay 1b due to Imperfect chilling than to any other single factor in dressing. Dry chill, if possible. Chickens cooled In water lose flavor, decay sooner, will not cold store as satisfactorily as dry-chilled, and are In every way more undesirable on the market. Refrigerator cars will carry well-chilled goods in good con dition, but they cannot chill warm goods to a sufficiently low tempera ture. 7. Pack in boxes or small kegs when ever possible. A large barrel makes an undesirable package, because where poultry is packed in large masses the weight of the upper layers crushes the birds at the bottom. 8. Line all packages with parchment paper and cover the top of the poultry before the lid is put on. 9. Wrap every head in suitable pa per so that blood from one bird will not mar the appearance of another. 10. Use only good refrigerator cars and see that they are In good order. .... 4 1 1 Hi mmw MSEB lib HEADS OF ARMY AND NAVY APPROVE PLAN Ma;or-Genera!s Bliss and Scott Support Secretary Garrison. Advocates Organization of Reserve Corps of Officers and 500,000 Additional Trained Men. Rack for Squatted and Hanging Dressed Poultry, Ice and salt the car 24 hours before loading. The car, at the end of 24 hours should show a temperature be low 40 degrees F. at a point four feet above the floor and between the doors, General Suggestions. Never handle chickens roughly, cither before or after killing. Rough handling causes bruises, broken bones, scarred skins, and soft places in the flesh. Undue haste on the part of the killers and pickers results In lowered keeping quality and poor appearance of the product. , Piecework, which leads to quantity rather than quality, makes for lower prices on the market. Those who pay by the piece should remember that they sell by the quality of the piece. These directions will apply with equal force to turkeys intended for the market NEW SEEDINGS OF ALFALFA Ground Is Not Firm and Considerable Damage It Done by the Tram pling of the Plants, New seeding of alfalfa should not be pastured. The ground In these fields is not firm and considerable damage Is done by the trampling of the plants, especially during wet weather. Fields established a year or more may be pastured lightly in the fall, but should never be eaten down close. If the growth of alfalfa is not very strong the field may be top-dressed any time during the fall, preferably Just after the third cutting bat been removed. New teedlngs may be top-dressed at any time except during wet weath er when the ground Is soft UNIVERSAL MILITARY SERVICE IS IDEAL Washington, D. C Unqualified sup port was given Secretary Garrison's army plan before the senate military committee by Major General Scott and Major General Bliss, respectively chief and assistant chief of staff of the army. Both amplified statements made on the subject last week before the house committee. General Scott decarled the plan would save at least five months' time in building up an army of defense in a war emergency. He advocated im mediate organization of a reserve corps of officers actually commissioned and assigned to the posts they would take in time of war. General Scott also urged that a quartermaster's re serve corps of enlisted men be formed to include mechanics of all kinds, tel- egraphers, radio operators, motor ve hicle drivers and experts, teamsters, railway men and the like. A repre sentative of the American Legion, he said, had told him recently that;16,000 men of this sort had been listed by the organization who were willing to en list in such a corps. Both of the generals expressed the opinion that universal military service was the only "ideal democratic" meth od of building an army, but thought the country would not tolerate the pro posal now. General Bliss said it was only talked of by army officers as an academic question on this account. Discussing the details of the various bills under consideraion, General BHbb said that the measure proposed by the War department was the only one which appeared satisfactory or which seemed to contemplate a definite pol icy. The War college division of the General Staff, he said, has fixed 600, 000 men, more or less trained, as the irreducible minimum necessary for the country's Bafety in the first shock of war. The proposal to Increase the regular army to 250,000 as suggested in Sen ator Chamberlain's tentative bill, he added, was wholly inadequate by it self. Moreover, he added, it was im possible to recruit a larger force than 140,000 men, as proposed by Secre tary Garrison for the regular army, without increasing1 pay or otherwise giving added inducement. He read a report from the adjutant general de claring that it would be impossible to recuit even 200,000 men in peace times and that the arevage maximum force that could be maintained was only 122,000. five Negroes Are Hanged From Limbs of One Tree in Georgia Sylvester, Ga. The death of five negroes, whose bullet-riddled bodies were found early Saturday morning hanging from a tree near Starkville, Ga., was held in a coroner's verdict to have been due to "strangulation and gunshot wounds at the hands of un known parties." There was no indica tion that any further investigation would be conducted. The negroes, accused of implication in the killing of Sheriff Moreland at Starkville, were taken from tbe jail here late Friday by a small party of men who gained access to the cells through a well-planned ruse and whisked the five prisoners away in automobiles. They persuaded the sheriff to open the jail doors by asking permission to place a negro they brought with them in a cell for safe' keeping. The negro disappeared while the sheriff was being overpowered and efforts to locate him or learn his ident ity have been fruitless. Consuls to Be Set Free. Washington, D. C. Through the good offices of the United States, the German, Austrian, Turkish and Bul garian consuls at Saloniki, who have been held under arrest by the allies on board a French warship in the harbor, are to be released. George Einstein, head of the American legation at Sofia, has been instructed by cable to surren- der the British vice consul there who took refuge in his quarters when Bul garia ordered the arrest of enemy con sular officers in retaliation for the seizure of the consuls at Saloniki. BIG TAX PROPOSED ON EXPATRIATES; IMMIGRATION BILL LIMITS JAPANESE Washington, D. C A measure pro posing a high graduated tax on the in comes of American expatriates, de rived from their American properties, will be introduced in the senate by Senator Kenyon of Iowa. The Kenyon bill would place an an nual tax of practically 30 per cent on the incomes of the wealthier expatri ates. AIbo it would make dowen giv en to American girls who marry titled foreigners a source of considerable rev enue to the United States government. With the steady augmentation of American fortunes aboard as a result of the expatriation of thousands of rich Americans, chiefly heiresses, the movement in favor of imposing heavy taxes on incomes thus derived from the United States has gained much strength in congress. Drastic restrictions would be thrown about the immigration of Janpanese in to the United States and both Hindus and Chinese virtually would be barred from the country by a provision that has been written into the immigration bill to be reported to the house this week by the immigration committee. As agreed on tentatively by the com mittee, the exclusion section of the bill includes a paragraph barring "Hindus and all persons of the Mon golian or yellow race and the Malay or brown race. Representative Wilson, of Illinois, has introduced a bill requiring the Oregon & California Railroad com pany, on demand of settlers, to sell the unsold portion of its grant in quarter- section tracts at $2.50 an acre, giving preference right of purchase to first appplicants and to applicants who have been erroneously located and who heretofore have sought to buy not more than 160 acres. The bill as introduced was prepared by the National Information Bureau and is intended to protect the interests of thousands of applicants who have tendered the purchase price to the rail road company, but have been unable to acquire title because of the railroad s refusal to sell.

Nowadays In many households an appetizer or an entree is served for dinner Instead of soup. A fruit appe tizer Is often tempting. Grapefruit in any form, in Its own shell, garnished with a maraschino cherry, or cut In dice, and served in cups or mixed with a little orange or pineapple, is always good. Diced pineapple, with sugar and a little lemon Juice sprinkled over it, is also good.

Orange Delight-Soak half a box Mother of four Children Wins 1916 Rose Festivar Slogan Contest Portland, Ore. "For You a Rose in Portland Grows" is the slogan that will advertise the 1916 Rose festival. The author is Bertha Slater Smith, whose father, James H. Slater came to Oregon in 1853, and was at one time the state's representative in the Uni- Britain to Dilute Labor. London The urgent necessity of speeding up the 'supply of munitions has determined the government to put into force immediately plans for the dilution of skilled labor with semi skilled, unskilled and female workers in all controlled establishments. In a statement on the subject in the house of commons, Premier Aaquitb an nounced that the government was con vinced that this plan offered the only prospect of securing a sufficient supply of munitions to enable the war to be brought to a speedy conclusion. Blood Transfusion Urged. Chicago Confident that blood trans- fusion will save the lives of many if applied in cases of gas poisoning. Cor oner Hoffman sent a letter to every hospital in Chicago giving instructions as to the preservation of blood to be used in life-saving work. He said he would provide blood containers for any hospital Experiments indicate that blood can be safely kept 30 days. There have been 3423 deaths from asphyxia tion in Chicago in the last 11 years. "Stmm ' II'1 n"Wi'iirM" V '" W.LSOH. : ted States senate. Judge Woodson T. Slater, formerly on the Supreme bench in Oregon, is her brother. Mrs. Smith is the mother of four children two girls four years of age and fine looking twins. Mrs. Smith did not send her slogan to the festival headquarters until Saturday morning, January 15, the last day of the con test. She is a native daughter and was born in La Grande. Mrs. Smith received a check for $25 from the festival board. It was pre sented by O. C. Bortzmeyer, secretary and S. C. Bratton, chairman of the publicity committee. Mrs. Smith was photographed as she mailed a letter to President Wilson, in the huge mail box in Portland, a feature of letter writing week, inviting the nation s chief exe cutive to visit Portland June 7, 8 and 9, and participate in the fieBta, the national dedication of the great Co lumbia river highway. More than 300 cities and towns in Washington and Oregon were repre sented in the slogan contest by resi dents of Idaho, Montana, British Co lumbia, California and North Dakota, from former Oregon residents, Aged Physician Suicide, Seattle, Wash. Heart-broken over the recent death of his wife, who had been his inseparable companion during their 25 years of happy life together, Dr. J. M. Morgan, pioneer resident of this state, and, in former years, well-known Seattle physician, ended his life in his home at California Place by firing a shotgun through his heart. Nearly every day and night since the death of Mrs. Morgan, December 5, the physician, who was 89 years old, bad prayed for God to still his heart and place his body beside his wife. Yuma Will Be Rebuilt. Yuma, Ariz. With the waters of the Colorado receding, work of rescu ing Turns valley flood sufferers was carried forward Monday by local au thorities, aided by officials of the Southern Pacific railroad from Tucson, Ariz., who arrived here with equip ment to supply the city temporarily with water, gas and electricity. It was estimated that the damage from the flood would amount to more than $1,000,000. Men are engaged in re pairing the levee which released the water that inundated this town Sunday, Grand Duchess to Wed. Zurich, Via Paris The Neue Zu richer Zeitung's Luxemburg corre spondent announces that the marriage of Grand Duchess Marie of Luxemburg probably will take place shortly. Court officials of Luxemburg favor an Aus trian archduke, ineducness, for po litical reasons, cannot marry German Prince or any of the Bourbon Princes and the Princes of the smaller neutral stations either are too young or are Protestants. Seattle, Wash. Seattle's weathliest and most exclusive circles which got their first shock Monday when the Rainier club was raided on search war rants under the new prohibition law were rocked by a social volcano when the homes or two millionaires were raided by deputies acting under orders of Sheriff "Bob" Hodge, the coal miner aspirant for the governorship, and large and valuable stocks of fine wines and liquors were seized. Where the law officers' lightning will strike next is the topic in the homes of Capitol Hill and Richmond Highlands. The palatial home at the Highlands of W. E. Boeing, millionaire lumber man, was raided at noon Wednesday by deputy sheriffs. Sheriff Hodge had been told that an $8000 stock of liquors belonging to the Seattle Golf and Country club had been secreted there in violatoin of the dry law. In one room in the basement the deputies said they found a specially fitted device by which great numbers of bottles were put away, corks down. The liquors were of the richest kind, including bottled Scotch, rye and Bour bon whiskieB, vermouth, champagne, including some of the vintage of 1830, and valued at $60 a quart; a case of Pol Roget, Chartreuse and other li quors and three cases of beer. In the butler's pantry were found 18 bottles of baer and about 15 bottles of assorted drinkables. The liquor found in the basement was said by the deputy sheriffs to be worth at least $2000. Mr. Boeing is president of the Greenwood Lumber company and of the Northwest Aero club. The home of D. E. Skinner, presi dent of the Skinner-Eddy Steamship company and of the Port Blakely Mill company, was raided, and a stock of liquors worth about $3000 confiscated by deputy sheriffs. In each instance the great stocks were removed and will be held pending hearing of the cases. No arrests will be made. It is said to be practically certain that the raid will result in hotly con tested legal battles, ' attacking the dry law from the standpoint of raids on private residences and particularly that feature of the common law grant ing a householder extraordinary rights in his premises. Rumor has it also that further resi dence raids are in prospect, directed against the homes of officials of var- 'lous clubs. Mr. Skinner was delivering an ad- dresss upon "The Merchant Marine" at a luncheon of the Seattle Real Estate association when a note was handed him informing him his home was being raided. He angrily de nounced the police, thinking it was they who were making the raid instead of the sheriffs, and declared he had or dered his servants to destroy all li quor, smash the bottles so the law offi cers could not hold orgies on fine wines at his expense. The prohibition law permits persons to keep in their own homes not more than two quarts of spirituous liquors and 12 quarts of malt drinks. Fund for Alaska Favored. Washington, D. C. Two million dollars with which to push work on the Alaska railroad with the opening of spring and $75,000 for the confi dential diplomatic fund used by the President and the secretary of state are included in an urgent deficiency appropriation bill favorably reported Thursday to the house. Construction of the road will begin in earnest in the spring.

GRAHAM BREAD WORTH WHILE Baltic Proves Obstacle, London From views obtained in official circles it is known that the ob stacle in the way of substituting an actual blockade of Germany for the situation created under the orders in council is provided by the Baltic Sea. The problem of controlling of the Bal tic so that the precedents established during the American Civil war may De met is giving the government con siderable trouble and on its solution depends the decision of the cabinet as to the cancelling of the orders in council. More to Be Executed. Chihuahua City, Mex. The Villa bandits who looted Magistral, a mining camp in Durango, several days ago, and who were attacked and beaten by Carraza troops Thursday at Guerrero, are said to include some men who took part in the slaughter of 18 foreigners at Santa Ysabel, January 10. Several prisoners taken were being brought here to be executed and their bodies dispalyed with those of Jose Rodriguez and Miguel Baca-Valles, which were exhibited at Juarez. Montenegro to Fight On, Paris, via London The following official statement was issued Thursday "The wireless news of the surrender of the Montenegrin army appears somewhat premature. It is now an nounced from another source that ne gotiations between Austria and Mon tenegro have been broken off, the con ditions of surrender imposed by Aus tria having been found quite unaccept able by Montenegro. "The royal fam ily is about to proceed to Italy." Fruit Business Makes Big Gain. Puyallup The bookkeepers of the Puyallup & Sumner Fruit Growers' association are completing the annual inventory of the business, from which will be made the regular report to the members and stockholders at the an nual meeting in February. While the figures have not yet been given out, expect the amount of products handled by the association during the last year, it is stated on reliable authority that the total business for 1916 will amount to at least a third of a million dollars more than in 1914. The 1914 business was approximately $1,250, 000. Last year's increase was more than 25 per cent. Dairymen of the valley are planning to organize a cow testing association, Prof. E. O. Gibson, of the State college, will take a leading part in the work as soon as he can find time from his other duties as dairy instructor at the winter school. A committee con sisting of W. J. Langdon, C. L. Boss, Adolph Loncke, J. A. Shrenghost and Dr. F. B. Gault 1b doing the necessary advance work among the dairymen. It is roughly estimated by experts that one-third of the cows in Pierce county are "boarders," that is, the milk does not pay for their feed and upkeep. The testers' association teaches tbe dairymen how to find these cows so they can dispose of them and get better ones in their places. It will also advise the members as to the best kinds of feed. More Orders for Oregon Hops. Portland The hop market is firmer, with a broad and healthy demand. Orders are more plentiful than at any time since the year opened. The Hub bard & Jones lot of 204 bales at Inde pendence wsb bought by McClellan at 10 and Hi cents. S. T. Edmiston, of Sherwood, has started a movement for the formation of an assBociation or bureau of grow ers, the object of which is to collect information, independent of the deal ers, as to the exact quantity or hops grown in the state. He believes the growers are seriously handicapped by the lack of such information, and thinks that a properly organized body can obtain the data accurately. It is his intention to take the first steps toward organization in this section, Cattle In Grant County Die, Wenatchee, Wash. A great deal of stock is reported as dying in the south ern part of Grant county from starva tion and exposure in the worst storm that has visited that section in years, The temperature dropped to 10 degrees below zero on several nights, and this with driving snow and wind, made it severe for the stock, which has been accustomed to winter out. G. L. Man- dervllle returned from a trip almost to the Frenchman Hills, getting his stock, and reports that he found several head belonging to others dead on the way. Cold Snap Hurts Market. The quietest period the Portland Yamhill-street public market bas bad was during the cold snap, according to the report of Marketmaster Eastman, submitted to Commissioner Bigelow, The market took in but $6 for rental of stalls, whereas the usual earnings amount to many times that amount each day. Tbe masket was practically deserted because of the difficulty of keeping produce and particularly fruits and vegetables. Meat wu about the only commodity offered for tale on the market.); '.-mo-..
