Poultry should be used about once n
week on the average. This will insure,
as rule, some lcftovers for an extra
meal or at least an entree. Boiling
chickens or fowls, as they are technic-
ally called, are the most economical.
There are ways Of cooking. stewing
and sautelng by which these are made
almost as nourlshing as when brOiled
or roasted. These fowls are often as
low in price as 10 cents pound and
seldom higher than IL. Roasting chick
ems are the next in price, ranging from
10 to 20 cents pound. Those for broil-
ing are much more expensive and are
so small that they are usually sold by
the pair They are not at all econom'
lcal for. since they are very small, a
number are needed for family of any
size. These brOilers are everywhere
considered a great delcacy.-Mary Ora
