Ordinary vs Milk-Fed Chicken
Milk Fatted Poultry
C>l HICKEN—fried, boiled, roasted,
j stewed, fricasseed, etc.—is the fa
vorite dish for Sunday dinners,
holidays and other special occasions.
It is, therefore, strange indeed, that
a food so popular should he so little
known as to its preparation and han
dling. To consumers “chicken :s chick
en” and buying one is a game of chance.
While Ihe experienced housewife
may successful in selecting a chicken
satisfactory to her as to size, age, fatness
and tenderness, yet on the most im
portant point of all—flavor of the meat
—she takes a chance and is often more
or less dissatisfied.
It is a fact that poultry meat takes
on the flavor of the food eaten more
quickly and more completely than any
other meat used for human consumption.
The reason for rank and unpleasant
flavors or odors in poultry meat is usually
this—bad or odorous food.
Poultry originates, of course, on the
farms. These farms are of every de
scription and the poultry is raised by all
types of people, ranging from the
few who are interested in raising
the best possible poultry under the
most favorably conditions, to the
many who are wholly indifferent.
All this poultry—good, bad and
indifferent—goes to market. The
poultry that is killed and sold as it
comes from the farmer is the kind
that housewives are more .or less
dissatisfied with. It is not claimed that
all farm poultry is undesirable, for there
are some farmers who are careful about
the feeding of their poultry, but the
chances are against you in making a se
lection from this kind of poultry.
The proper way of preparing poul
try from the time it is marketed until it
is ready for consumption has developed
into a scientific method. Only good,
sound, healthy poultry is purchased from
the farmer. It is then fed on a feed that
is properly blended to give the correct
amount of protein, carbohydrates, fat,
mineral matter and fiber; together with
fresh buttermilk to produce clean, sweet
flavored meat. Other factors that con
tribute to the proper meat development
of the poultry is clean, sanitary quar
ters, free from noise, excitement or exer
cise. Their days are made up of eating,
resting and sleeping.
During the 10 to 12-day feeding pe
riod, the character of the flesh almost
completely changes. Much of the water
in the tissues is replaced by food oil. All
the barnyard and other undesirable
flavors are eliminated.
The meat becomes clean and sweet,
and there is about 5* per cent more of
edible meat on milk-fatted poultry than
on ordinary poultry of the same size and
weight.
The comparison of the two methods
of handling poultry, as mentioned
above, will prove to you why
milk-fatted poultry has clean,
sweet-flavored meat of a better
quality.
You can be sure of getting
tine-flavored, sweet-moated poul
try by insisting on milk-fatted
poultry. Having used milk-fatted
poultry, you will not he satisfied
with the ordinary kind.
There are a variety of ways of pre
paring poultry that are tasty, satisfying f
and economical, too. The following are *
a few suggestions:
