Fowl. for the Table.

In discussing the comparative eX-
celIence of the different breeds of fowls .
a correspondent Of the livestock |
Journal writes: OF all table fowls the
well bred Dorking still stands pre-
eminent. The reasons for this are:
First, it is a large-sized bird, and its
meat is tender, savory and juicy; at
the same time sufficiently firm IN
texture. Second, the breast is very
broad, deep, and projecting. This IS
the most valuable part of the fowl
and in the Dorking enables one to
cut extra wide slices from it. The
shoulders also are quite full, which
is another good point in its favor
Third, the body is long parallelogram,
thus making it in comparison to other
fowls like that of the shorthorn to
cattle. The Houdan is the nearest
approach to the Dorking of all other
breeds. both in size, good shape, and
qualities of meat. AS it carries fifth
toe and a topknot, it is generally
thought to be a cross of the Dorking
on the Poland yet l have seen it
stated in a French publication that
they have been known in France for
upward of 500 years, The game fowl
is first quality, but its meat is ofditfer-
ent flavor from the top above, resem-
bling that of the pheasant, and for this
reason many prefer it. The size varies
from large medium to small, and il
does not carry so much meat on the
breast in proportion to its size as The
Dorking and Houdan. This is deep
but more rounding and less project
ing Some other breeds of fowls ar,
well shaped and moderately full in Thu
breast. Among these. l have founC
the Dominique superior Most of tn
Eastern fowls are deficient in a goo,
breast. save the Langshan, which j
said TO be pretty fair in this point
The others, except the Brahma roy
and then, run too much to rump, wher
they are extra large. AS the mea
here is not equal to that on the breast
and is rather coarse, they do not exec
as table fowls. But the chickens gro'
large rapidly, and as people general
are not particular as to the quality {
poultry, they sell well and are popt
lar with the public, their extra si7
being their chief merit.

A Generous Girl.

He was a bouncing big turkey, and
they hung him by the heels, 50 that his
nose almost touched the walk just out
side the butchers shop. A little girl
was standing there watching it. You
could see that she was hungry little
girl, and worse than that, she was
cold too, for her shawl had to do for
hood and almost everything else. No
one was looking, and so she put out a
little red hand and gave the great tur-
key push, and he swung back and
forth, almost making the huge iron
hook creak, he was so heavy.
What splendid big turkey"
The poor little girl turned round.
and there was another little girl look.
ing at the turkey too She was out
walking with her dolls, and had on a
cloak with real fur all around the
edges, and she had'a real muff, white,
with little black spots over it.
"Good morning, MISS said the
butcherman. You see, he knew the
little girl with the muff perfectly
well.
THAT'S big turkey, Mr.. Martin"
EYES," said the poor girl timidly;
"he's the biggest ever saw in my life.
He must be splendid to eat"
"Pooh r said the little girl with the
muff; "he isn't any bigger than the
one my papa brought home for Thanks
giving tomorrow, know"
"Could l have leg if l came for 1t
tomorrow" asked the poor little girl
softly.
"What ! haven't you a whole tur-
key?'
"Never had one in my life" said the
poor little girl.
"Then you shall have have this one
said the little lady with the muff.
"Mr. Martin, I've got some money in
my savings bank at home. and my
papa said l could do just as l wanted
to with it; and I'm going to buy the
turkey for this little girl"
The poor little girls eyes grew so
very large you would not have known
them: Il shall love you always so
much-so very, very much; and I'll
90 home for Foxy to help. Foxy is
my brother, and know we can carry
him."
| have not room to tell you all about
IT; but the poor little girl got her tur-
key and papa his bill.
"What's this?' said another
turkey; eighteen pounds; three dollars
and sixty cents"
That's all right" said the little
GIRL who had the muff. 81 bought
him. and gave him to poor little girl
who never ate one; and the money is
in my iron bank"
The bank was opened, and there
were Just four big pennies in it.
A very generous little girl was thi;
Of whom the New York Tribune tells
us this story; but, like some others o
us she was generous with the money
of some one else.
