Fowls for The Table.

IN discussing the comparative excellence
Of the diflt rspt breeds OF fowls correspond.
enr of the Live Stock Journal writes: OF oil
table fowls the weli-bred D0rziug skill stands
pre- eminent The reasons for this are:
First, it Is a large sized bird, ard Its meat is
tender, ssvOry aud Juicy; az 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 toe D0rkiDg enables one to cut extra
wide slices from it. The shoulders are also
quite full, which is another good point in
It's favor. Third, the body is long paral'

other fowls like that of the short horn to
cattle. The Houdan is the nearest approach
to the Dorking Of ali other breeds, both in
size, good shape, and qualities Of meat. As
it carries fitth toe and topkuot, it is gen.
erslly thought to be cross OF the DOrking

favor from the above, resembling that OF
the pheasant. end fo~ this reason many pre-
fer IL. The size varies from large medium

on the breast in proportion to its size as the
Dorking and Houdan. This IS deep but
more rounding and less projecting. Some
other breeds OF fowls are we'll shaped and
moderately full in the breast. Among these.

of the Eastern fowls are deficient in a good
breast, save the Lsngshan, which is said to
be pretty fair in this pbint. The others ex-
cept the Brahma now and then, run too niue 4
to rump, where they are extra large. As the
meat here is not equal to that on the breast,
and is rather coarse, they do not excel rs
table fowls. But the chickens grow large
rapidly, and as people generally ara not par.

well and are popular with the people their

Relations of Color and Flavor.

Mr. Emett S. Goff records in the American
Naturalist some investigations he has made
10 determine whether there may not be
law Of relation between the color aud flavor
in fruits and vegetables. He was led to his
experiment by the observation that in several
fruits and vegetables. such as onions. cur
rants, tomatoes, and raspberries white or
hght-colored flesh is accompanied by
milder and more delicate flavor than exists
in other varieties of the same fruit or vegs-
table having a dark-colored flesh; also that
some vegetables are 'blanched" to give them
more delicate flavor. The usual aim in
improving tke qualities Of fruits and vege-
tables is 10 intensity the desirable qualities
and eliminate the undesirable Ones It is
evident, therefore, Mr.. Golf says, that, IL the
color Of the flesh has relation to It's flavor
and tenderness. we have a valuable index in
the work of selection If by whitening the
flesh OF fruit we can eliminate acid and
solidity, or II by darkenlng the hesh OF
apotber fruit, already too tsnder and in
sip;d, in the same way We can heighten its
Characteristic favor and increase ito frm.
