POULTRY HANGER IS USEFUL

Device Found Quite Convenient by Eastern Poultrymen in Holding Fowls While Killing. Here is a device which poultrymen of Boston have found very convenient in holding fowls during the killing process. Nothing could be simpler or

more effective. It consists of a string an<f a thin disk of wood hung from a nail, as shown at a in the drawing herewith, says the Orange Judd Farmer. When to be used the fowl’s legs are brought together in a horizontal position, as shown at b, and the disk passed around them as indicated by the heavy dotted line. The disk is then placed beside the legs, but beyond the vertical part of the string. Now the ,fowl is lowered and allowed to hang head downward, as Indicated at c. If applied in this way there is no danger of the fowl working loose. To release the bird the position is reversed and the disk slipped to one side.
