To Boil CHIcRES. artless
boiling Is apt TO produce 4 yellowish.
slimy-looking chicken. Before cooking.
the bird should always be well washed in
tepid water aud lemon juice and, to in
sure whiteness, deIcacy, and succuIence
should be boiled in paste made of flour
and water, and, after being put into the
boiling water, should be allowed to sim
mer slowly This method is very efectu-
al in preserving all the juices OF the fowl
and the result Is far more toothsome
and nourishing morsel than the luckless
bird which has been ''galloped to death
IN plain boiling water. Mutton is also
much better for being boiled in paste -
