YOUNG CHIcKENs.-Onoo Of tho most
scientific and successful poultry breed
ers Of Germany, whose experiments
we have personally examined, says
that young chickens should never be
fed with boiled eggs, nor should they
have access to water otherwise than
mixed with their food, until several
days old. Many people on the farms
with us arc in the habit Of mixin q
dough with cold water. This is
wrong. Tho Indian meal ought to
be cooked, or least scaldcd. Many
lose thcir young chickons from neg
lect to scald the meal and wonder
what tho matter was. Poultry is
worth too much now to afford to neg
lect it.

KILLING AND DRESSING POULTRY.
open tho bcalt Of tho fowl, then,
with pointed and narrow knife,
make an incision at the back of the
root, which will divide tho vortebre
and cause immediate death; after which
hang the fowl up by the legs until the
bleeding ceases i; then rinse the beak
out with vinegar and water. Fowls
killed in this manner keep longer, and
do not present the unsightly external
marks as those killed by the ordinary
system Of :wringing the neck. When
the entrails are drawn Immediately
after doath, and the fowl stuffed, as
they do in France, with paper shaw
ings or coeoanut fbres; to preserve
their shape, they will keep. much
longer fresh. Some breeders cram
their poultry: before killing, to mako
them appear heavy; this is most
injudjcious plan, as tho undigested
food soon enters into fermentation,
and putrefaction takes place, as owl

20 OUT QUIETLY.-What a noise

That is tho way some Sabbath
schools arc dismissed, but it is very
ugly way. Of course, there should
no needless noise during tho school
hour, butalso thcro should bo mono
attcr it. You must so in quietly, keep
quiet, 60 out quietly, and go home
quietly.
Children that arc noisy when the
school closes other forget, or do not
caro- that it is Gods house whore they
arc and that they must reverence it,
They forgot that it is Sabbath, and
that they must keep it holy.
1t is a bad sign to 500 children 80
noisy and rompirg whom thoy arc
leaving the schoolroom, the place of
prayer. 1t shows that they did not
care much to bo there, because they
seem too glad to get away. Street
boys arc noisy, loud, .uue and romp-
not caring for tho holy Sabbath but
Sabbath'school children, ehould cor

FOOD VALUE OF TIE POTATO.

There is probably no other vegcta-
bic food, except wheaton bread, Of
which SO much can be fairly said in
its favor. IT,; merits, however, vary
much with tho kind Of 'sccd," the
period Of maturity, and the soil in
which they arc grown. That kind
should be preferred which becomes
mcaly on boiling, and which: when
we'll cooked, can be thoroughly crush
cd with the finger. Tho potato which
is known as "waxy," and those that
remain somewhat hard when boiled,
do not digest so readily rs tho mcaly
Kind. but for that same reason they
are said to be moro satisfying. :.
1t is not material in reference to nour-
ishment whether tho potato DO boiled
or roasted, since in both methods it
should be we'll cooked. In point of
economy and convenience, however,
il has been found better TO boil than
to roast them; for, whilst tho loss in
boiling upon lib. of potatoes scarcely
exceeds half an ounce, that in the
most careful roasting is 2oz. or 3oz.
1t is also moro economical to cook
them in their skins, and to peel them
Immediately before they arc eaten !;
but this is not very convenient in
many families, and the color of the
potato is not quito so agreeable, as
that of those which have been boiled
after pooling. Whom they are pcclcd
before boiling, and particularly when
they arc small, and tho operation is
performed carelcssly, from one-third
to one-fourth of the whole potato is
lost, and if there be no pig to eat tho
peelings, the whole is wasted whilst
the weight Of the peel which is re-
moved after boiling would not amount
to more than 1oz. in the pound. When
potatoes have been roasted, the loss in
weight from the skin and drying is
more than one-fourth Of the weight
before cooking An average sample
Of potato, after it has been peeled,
contains II per cent. Of carbon and
0 3b per cent. Of nitrogen; and hence
in each pound there are ITO grains Of
carbon and "a grains nitrogen, and it
is greatly inferior to bread. The econ
omy Of it's use depends upon it's cost,
