BUrIsG PouLTRv.-I send the follow
ing which I have observed for some years
in purchasing poultry. and which may be
Of use to some Of your readers who may
not be familiar with the age of poultry.
Few hocsekeepers, andsfswer cooks. are
as good judges Of the age of poultry as
they ought to be. We oil know when
poultry comes, upon the table. whether it
is tender or toug gh and there should be
no difficulty cf knowing just as cert.iuly,
whether chicken, duck :. goose or turkey
is old or young, when it is offered for sale.
Now the following is offered as a rule By
which poultry can be safely judi gcd which
il read over for few times, and then laid
away for ready reference when needed. no
person need purchase old, tough poultry
