STOCK POT.
:In our kitchen the chicken pot ” has as regular a place on the stove as the stock pot. It is a very large vessel, and large as it is, before night it is always frill... After breakfast there are scraps of meat and potatoes, egg shells, bits of toast and cold pancakes. Instead of throwing the coffee grounds and tea leaves into the sink, after the usual slatternly Irish fashion, our domestic empties them, with the rinsings from the cups, into the chicken pot. Every bit of refuse vegetable matter, with the parings, goes into this receptacle; and, as each day’s dinner varies, the fowls’ diet is likewise a varied one. Two or three times a week a panful of sour milk or buttermilk is heated, made like mush with bran, and made healthful and palatable with a teaspoonful of red pepper or two table spoonfuls of black. Chickens are as omnivorous as swine and a great deal more pleasant to look upon. *
