j There ts no law against the prac-

eggs by some means, if science has
j yet found it, by which their freshness

The M ass Meeting Here Toworrow
The Farmers Union is not a political bo ly. It is essentially different
from any organization of its kind that has ever been launched. However,
like all organizations that tend toward the public good as they see it they
unite in striving to cany their point. The organization has passed its opin-
I ion on the bill before the (icncial Assembly of Georgth looking toward the
I abolition ol the county court of Baldwin and establishing the city court.
There arc two sides to every question There is no doubt but that all
.courts arc expensive, but still we have that as an argument against the est
ablishment of the new tribunal. Then again there are actually lots of folk
! who have an idea that the city court will be Milledgeville's court and not
1 Baldwin county’s court, They are of the opinion that the citizens only of
J Miiledgeville will be eligible to serve on the jury and others even think that
only purely municipal cases will be tried.
It is to be expected that we should err. Most of us entertain opinions
that are d'ecidedly averse to truth, if the new court is established it will be
J essentially a court ol the people of Baidwin county and for the people of
Baldwin county. Every man will have a band in operation just as they Will
: paying for it.
As a matter of fact we are against courts. II only t'ne mills of the gods
Icjuld grind out justice and we could hive use for no other courts then we
would indeed be pleased, But this sphere is a vale ot tears and we are ac
tors in the great drama which sooner or later is paraded before the bar of
justice and held up to the world.
But the potent factor in tomorrow's meeting will show that the folk of
Baldwin county have the interests of the public at heart as they see it.
There is no doubt but that many will come out and give experession to their
views. This is perfectly right and just. It makes us proud to think that
we live in a community where people are standing together for common good
as they recognize it to be. It shows that we are still living in a democratic
age in a democratic section where the will ol the people will some day
triumph over corporate power.
As tor ourselves we disclaim any knowledge of the bill so much discuss
ed. We didn’t even know it was going to be introduced, didn’t know when
it was introduced, didn’t know the reason for it, but we are here to live and
learn, but in doing this we want to say consider both sides of the question
even in the matter of laws and courts.
And back ol it all we see and know that the farmer is coming into his
own and with pardonable pride we look back over the race we've run and
say, thank goodness, we were, are and will be farmers just as long as they
keep on clamoring for their own rights, no matter if they do get the wrong
impression sometimes.

in the mouth, keeping the point to the
right side of the bird's neck and na
near the outer skin as possible until f

This saould came the bird to bleed
freely hut by holding the beak up
the blood will remain in the neck, gtv- i
Ing you plenty of time to pierce the ;
b ain. The latter Is located Just .
above the eye and can be easily
reached through the neper part of the |
mouth by using a stilt steel blade, in
serted in the mouth with blade edge
up and pointing slightly over the
eye. With young birds little trouble
Is experienced in piercing the brain,
blit with older birds a very stiff blade
is required, as the bones are much
harder. When the point of the blade
enters the brain, give the knife a
quick twist to right or left to widen
'he aperture. It the brain has been
reached, the bird will attempt to
squawk or will give a nervous jerk
as the blade touches the spot, and this
touching the brain or nerves not only
loosens the feathers of the bird for
dry plucking, but will greatly Im
prove the appearance of scalded
stock."
\ weight, which may consist of nn
old tomato can half tilled with stones
and cement, is Immediately attached
by means of a w ire hook to the lower
inaudible of the bird. "Then by
grasping tlie wings close to the back,
the bird will not be able to flutter,
and can be easily and rapidly pluck
ed. This, of course, should always
be dene while the bird is bleeding. •
* * The can catches the biood, and
by hanging the bird over a barrel the
feathers may easily be saved."
Since there is considerable difH-
culty in scalding birds properly aud
it is often improperly done, dea'ers
usually pav a little more for dry-
plucked birds.
"The breast should be plucked fir»r.
starting near the crop. Aft vz the
breast the thighs, then the bac-v rear
the,base of the tail, and las ’he
wings. As soon as the featheis have j
been removed the wings should be '
twisted over the bnck and ihe bird
taken from the hooks and the feet
washed after which the thighs and
legs should be pressed to th" body j
either by placing a bre c on the '
bird's breast or by tying the body, the
object of this being to give the bird
a plump or blocky appearance." [
The birds should not be allowed to
hang until they become rigid, as that
causes them to look thin. Can* must
