VALUE OF UNDRAWN POULTRY
Experiments Conducted by Departm ent
of Agriculture Show Birds Spoil
Leas Quickly.
Poultrvpien * ll l l discuss the rela
tive merits of drawn and undrawn
poultry.
Practice varies In different
communities. Qpening the body un
doubted y e x |Mises the internal surface
; to the a ir which always contains ink
j cro-orgsnisins, and thus may hasten
'decom position; but It should lie re
membered also that the viscera daeom-
pose more rapidly than other parts of
the body, and If left they tnay tain t
or infect the rest of the bird.
In
elaborate
experiments
w ith
drawn, partly drawn, and undrawn
poultry, conducted by the United
States .Departm ent of Agriculture, It
was found that undrawn hints spoil
least quickly, and partly drawn ones
less quickly than the fully drawn ones
from which, not only the viscera, but
also the heads and feet, have been re
moved.
H a lf a dosen British w riters having
looked ua over thia summer sad record
ed their Impressions, a Frenchman.
Louis Thomas, is now doing the same
thing for the French Capper’s W eekly,
the Opinion.
"American wastefuloeea la a stupefy
ing thiug to Frenchmen.” aaya Thomas.
“We are th rifty and even we must
admit, avaricious. O ur experts, who
cooperated w ith them In w ar enter
prises, found them abominably waste
ful. Indifferent to coats and Im provi
dent to the last degree."
The reason Is simple, says Thomas.
“Americans are gamblers.
T h e y do not want to make a mod
erate profit, a steady, regular, perhaps
mediocre Income, but. on the contrary,
to make a great deal of money In a
very short time, to 'get rich quick.'
"They gamble at business— not at
roulette or baccarat; but It la gain-
bling all the same.”
As for wastefulness:
“So many people here have made
their money by chance, by good luck,
by a flash of Imagination, and no) by
the sweat of their brow, that they are
1 naturally wasteful and spendthrift to
an extent which we can hardly Imagine
In Europe.
