Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 95, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 March 1912 — METHOD OF KILLING FOWLS [ARTICLE+ILLUSTRATION]

METHOD OF KILLING FOWLS

Neat and Proper Way Is to Clip Head Off of Bird and Place It In Box to Bleed Freely. The following method of killing fowls is a neat and proper one: Set a square post about two feet in the ground and about two and one-half or three feet (or as desired) above ground, writes J. E. Raiser in the

Farm and Fireside. After clipping the fowl’s head off (for this I prefer a corn-cUveer or knife to a hatchet or ax), place the fowl in the box, where it will bleed freely. This method, to my notion, is more humane than to have them flopping about oil the ground.
