The lightâ€"weight chickens are dressed, eviscerated, and delivered to the market as quickly as gfu sible to keep them fresh. The housewife should use the birds within a dag or two after buying. They should be kept in the refriâ€" gerator until cooked. It‘s just that I get sentimental once in a whileâ€"who doesn‘t? Oh to be horseback riding on a cool prairie evening! couldn‘t help marvellag at the beauty of your trees down here.

Alâ€" though these can‘t compare in beauty to the Eastern trees, the{ seem to fit in with the overâ€"all newness of the West and its cities, where as the oaks and elms of this part of the country are so properly associated with the older history of the East. LIGHTâ€"WEIGHT CHICKENS In these days of modernizing and streamlining, even the chickâ€" en gets the new look! The small chicken in the shops today has been raised on special feeds to produce the most tender and meaty bird in as short a time, and at as small a cost, as possible. These lightâ€"weights, most of them under 12 weeks of age. weigh an average of two and a guaner pounds â€" eviscerated, . an are available all year. ’f’hey may be gurchased either whole or cutâ€"up. here are two ways of buying cutâ€" up chickenâ€"all the cuts of the bird together in one package, or each cut, such as the breast and legs, separately. This is ideal for a small family as they can buy just as much or as little as they need, and favorite parts may be selected. The breast and legs are naturally higher priced than the whole readyâ€"toâ€"cook bird, while the back, neck and wings sell for less per pound. The cheaper cuts are economical for fricassees and soup. > West Lacks Trees The West does lack the beautiâ€" ful old trees of the East.
