Who annually sends 36,000 fowls to • •
the London market. This market' has
sotme peculiarities Which the poultry
Canon must take into account.. The
chicken must be sent to market with
its head on, for the buyer will_not in-
vest in a fowl whose head has been
cut off. The idea is that chickens that.
are mutilated may possibly have been
killed by some animal. It is also im-
portant that the chick.en should have •
white or at least light yellow legs, as
the poultry buyers object to black
legs. There is no good ground Dar
this objection, but consumers will
have their way and their Whims must
be gratified. • If chickens with black •
legs are forced upon the market they
bring anly about 1810 tha price of
those with light legs.
