Fat Pickings
Several men employed at a poulterer's establishment, in a suburb of Sydney are earning £30 a week each plucking fowls. The men have to make the feathers literally fly to earn this money ? and to show a greater degree of skill than is generally associated with fowl plucking. One day recently four men stripped 1167 fowls of every feather. "With the pressure on all you, want to do by the end af the week is just to lie down and die " said one. "But it's, not bad pay . Ivttcn \illowing for ta.\, it amounts a week." Just to show what, he Icould do, the proprietor of the jbstablishment cleaned and trussed a Jowl in Ms— and then apologised ffk being "it'bit out of touch."
