Show Midvale Journal, Thursday, September 18, 1930 POULTRY TIPS BEST KILLING METHODS While many folks ship their broilers and other market poUltry off alive and others just use the old-fashioned ax, the more profitable way is probably to do the killing yourself providing you do it by the approved methods. A modern poultry killing room is quite simple and easily rigged up. From the ceiling of the room the fowl is suspended by the feet at about the height of the shoulder, er a rack can be used for the purpose. A strong sharp jackknife can be used in the killing although a special knife of a heavy piece of steal about 2 inches long, ~-inch wide, and :lk-inch thick is especially made for this purpose. The head of the fowl is taken in the left hand and the knife in the right hand. With the thumb and forefinger of the left hand the mouth is forced open by pressure and the knife is inserted into the mouth with the blade pointing toward the back of the head. The knife is then foroed up to the jwcture of the head and neck where the arteries come down on each side of the neck. These are severed and the fowl ble~ds freely. Partially remove knife immediately and then force the point into the roof of the mouth, and into the brain cavity to pierce the brain. This is a very desirable method as it causes the bird to make a conculsivc movement which and relating missionary experiences. Miss Della.

Poultry Association to Construct Radio Broadcasting· Station Plans for the construction of a large radio broadcasting station by the Utah Poultry Producers Cooperative Association, an affiliation of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation to serve members and fm·ther the c~use of organized agriculture, were announced recently by Clyde C. Edmonds general manager of the association. Petition for authority to operate the proposed station is now before the federal radio commission at Washington, D. C. The station will be erected immediately following favorable action by the commission. It is understood that this is the first time a cooperative marketing organization has undertaken to utilize the radio in its service to members and to all farmers. Agriculture in Utah and most of the west has never had an official instrument through which it could picture its struggle for a fair existence before the public. One of the principal functions of the proposed poultry association's radio is to sponsor agricUlture's cause and afford a medium of disseminating general farm information. Association members will be given egg and poultry market statistics and market trends at regular and frequent intervals. Officials believe that it will be of great value in futhering service to this state's 6,000 commercial poultry men, and thus prove another progressive move towards perfection in cooperative marketing. If the requested permission is granted by the federal commission the radio station will be made an intregal part of the association's new headquarters now under construction in Salt Lake. r;:-~::::~:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;1 i! li i: !:a i: i1 ELECTRIC HOME !! ~ : l;ii BAKERY !i jJ ;i!' 16 North Main 1l ;I ~ i ll ~I ! i II : LEO LEWIS, Pro!). ~ ~ 1'1 ~I l i lj : J ' ! - ............ - ....- ....................................................................... ~ : ,_...._ ..._ _......................................................................... -::..t.J Orchid Beauty Salon $6.50 Duart Permanent Waving ---------Marcelling Finger Waving Water Waving Shampooing 13 N.
