‘‘How to Kill and Bleed Market Poultry” is the title of a 
circular issued in August by the Bureau of Chemistry, De- 
partment of Agriculture. All who raise poultry for the pro- 
vision market should have it. The importance of the subject 
is shown in the following extract from the circular : “At 
least 30 per cent, of all the poultry coming into the New York 
market' is incompletely bled. Much of it is so badly bled 
that it results in a loss of from two to five cents a pound, as 
compared with the corresponding poultry which is well bled 
and in good order. Aside from the bad appearance of in- 
completely bled chickens, their keeping properties are very 
inferior. The flesh loses its firmness sooner ; its flavor is not 
so good ; the odor of stale flesh and finally of putrefaction 
comes sooner, and in every way the product is more perish- 
able.” While it is true that in Honolulu poultry is bought 
alive by the dealers, the demand for poultry from raisers at 
a distance will probably, at no distant day, become so great
