praised or blamed fol fhis agency We mos,
iully deny. The true cause Of these changes
is to be found ia the manner Of feeding the
animals before slaughiering. An animal
that has been long and we'll fed, Till the fal
cells have become fully charged with solid
matter, will, on exposure 10 boiling water,
absorb portonof It, and consequently swell
The dimensions Of the flesh; while that which
has been hastily or bur partially fttened,
will diminish in cooking from the abstraction
of the juices which occupy the cavities or
spaces between tho lean iibres This is Tue
whole secret of The shrinking aud swelling
of meats. II will thus be perceived that one
carcass Of equal weight may differ material
ly in value from another of neerly the same
apparent quality. This difference in valuc
is equally manifest in the quality Of FISH and
poultry. Eggs from well fed hens are also
much more rich aud substantial than these

his arrival at Montemorelos, a despatch arr

with no means OF j1dging how far this in
