No bids had been received at the

he sent us a dollar for which we are

THE BY-PRODUCTS OF POULTRY
o .
With the poultry men of America,
the only by-products of the fowl that
are considered are feathers and ma-
nure. On the other hand, poultrymen
of France attach considerable impor-
tance to the blood and offal. The
feathers are not only taken care of,
but the intestines are boiled and,
after the fat is skimmed off, are mix-
ed with the mash food.
The combs and kidneys are sold to
pastry cooks, who use the former for
decorating and the later for the con-
tents of pies.
The head, neck, and feet, which we
throw in the garbage can, the French
sell to restaurants who use them for
flavoring sauces, and sometimes they
are boiled down to make chicken jelly.
American poultrymen sell poultry
whole, but the French will sell the
legs, wings, breast, etc., separately..
This practice has in recent years
started in Pennsylvania, and probab{yr
elsewhere. It is claimed to be a'- *«
profitable move, breasts being pur-
chased for sandwiches; wings, necks,,
and other parts for soups, etc.
_ The French find the blood of fowls-
rich in nitrogen, and excellent far"
stock food. Some of our Americas?
poultrymen have found it valuable aa*
a fertilizer. Together with the offai,
the blood is frequently mixed' witty
dry soil, and used for vejteJJaia&f
stimulation.
Edwin Cake, a Birmingham; Rngy
baker, won a cake offered m a bak-
ing contest.
