Preparing Chickens for the Table.

There Is science" in all things, and
this is the way a French paper puts 10 in
regard TO fattesing poultry for the table
To get good weight aud a delicate color,
only meal from the grain Of last years
growth should be used in the fattening
process, and the water employed in mix
ing the food should be mixed with salt
in proportion Of ten grammes 70 the
litre. Further, small quantity Of
gravel should be added 10 the paste thus
made, 40 as to assist the birds digestive
functions. Special care should be taken
not 20 give them any heavy meal for at
least twelve hours before they are 10 be
killed, 70 that the intestines may be
empty AZ the time Of death, and the acid
fermentation Of their contents, which
would otherwise ensue, and which facil
itates digestion, may be avoided. Nor
should we be in too great a hurry 10
pluck them; u feathers are pulled out
while the blood is sill fluid, the vesicle
at the root Of each Of them becomes
gorged and the skin gets spotted. A fowl
killed while digestion Is going on will
hardly keep for a week. By attention TO
the above directions they may be pre-
served Tor fortnight in mild, wet
weather, and for three weeks or more
when IL Is dry aud cold A few pieces Of
charcoal put 10 the inside viii assist in
preservation. To boil pullet thus pre-
pared, Il should be put in cold. gravy
soup, made ready beforehand, and cook
ed BY a SLOW Ere. Directly il Is taken
from the pot Il should be powdered over
with aali In coarse grains, and II eaten

Il has occurred also 10 the writer to
make many observations as to the cir
eumstances under which tea and coffee
are found 10 agree OF disagree with
different persons: in the first place, as
Sir W. Roberts has pointed out. tea, i
taken at TIE same time as farinaceous
food, Is much more likely to retard its
digestion and cause dyspepsia than i
taken little time after eating; and the
custom adopted by many persons at
breakfast. for instance, Of eating inst
and drinking their tea or coffee after
ward Is a sensible one; so also If Is
better TO take ones five-o' clock tea
without the customary bread-and-bufter
or cake than with il
Indeed, while there is little that can
be said against q cup Of hot tea as \
stimulant and restorative, when taken
about midway between lunch and din
ner, and Ecith0stt solid food, it may. on
the other hand, be q fruitful cause Of
dyspepsia when accompanied at that

curious fact that many persons with
