They should be well kept before being cooked ; if dressed when freshly killed they would be flavourless and hard. The length of time that they are to be kept, and their condition when cooked, must depend, however, upon the weather and the taste of those who have to eat them. Young birds are to be preferred, with dark coloured bills and yellow legs. Muffins (January 29th). Rice Pudding
