How to Choose FRESH FOWL for Cook;n6

FHE average housewife, especially TIE
young housewife, has to rely upon her
butchers word when It comes to ser
1ecting good meat. "Is that tough" she
invariably asks, and naturally the butcher is
not going to admit it. There are many ways
in which good. fresh meat may be selected if
any one is careful and observant
The chief object in choosing poultry OF any
kind is to ascertain the age of the fowl,
Common fowls ought to be plump on the
breast and fat on the back. When young, the
legs and combs are smooth. In old birds the
legs of turkeys are rough and reddish; in
young ones they are smooth and black.
When fresh killed. the eyes are clear and
full and the feet moist.
When old, the bills and feet Of geese q
red; when young they are yellow. When
fresh killed, the feet are pliable when too
long kept they are stiff, Ducks with plable
feet and plump breasts are the best. When
old, the launches of hares and rabbits are
thick and the ears dry and tough The ears
OF young hare tear very easily.

The banana with the brilliant unspecked yellow skin
will not digest quite so easily, although it not dan

do not digest quite easily as the ripe fresh fruit
although they form valuable food product either dried
