Cooking Potatoes.

Baking is by the far the best method Of
cooking potatoes. Some think they dry out
so much, that boiling is more economical.
This is mistake. At least four ounces out
of every five Of the weight of potatoes are
simply water, and there is no loss UrnutriIncnt
in drying out these four ounces Of water. On
the contrary, the dry, mealy portion left
after baking, is more congenial to the stom-
ach and more easily digested than when the
moisture is kept in by boiling.
Frying potatoes in lard is the worst Of all
methods. Unless masticated very thoroughly
before swallowing-a thing few persons do,
no matter how good their teeth-it is next
to impossible for the gastric juice in the stom-
,ach To attack and dissolve lump Of potato
coated with fried lard, or other grease. If
any one doubts this, let him eat three baked
potatoes one morning; and the next morn
ing eat the same amount of potatoes fried.
In the latter case an uneasy dull feeling, for
two or three hours after eating, will afford
abundant evidence as TO which Is the better
mode.
If potatoes are cooked by boiling, they
should always be thoroughly mashed before
eating. If not done in the Kettle, let it be
done upon the plate. When mashed in the
kettle, it is not economical, or best, to mix
in large quantity Of butter. The use of
butter, spices, etc., is to stimulate the glands
Of the mouth and cause them to throw out
abundant saliva to nOisten the food and bet.
ter prepare Il for the gastric juice Of the
stomach. This saliva is what really gives
food its "good TASTE" and that food is much
relished which makes the mouth wateI"
most freely. Butter, salt, or other condi.
ments upon the outside Of food, come most
readily in contact with the glands Of the
mouth, and little butter will taste better
on the outside Of mouthful of food, than
double the quantity mixed intimately through
it Half pound Of butter mixed into a
loaf Of bread will not taste as we'll as two
ounces spread upon the slices. This rule
holds good IN many preparations of food.
We suspect that "Ore cup Of butter" only
in q cake, and quarter Of cup spread on
the outside in eating, will taste better than
"two cups" put into the mixing pan. We
are quite aware that the ladies will need the
butter In the cake to make il "short"-but
our rule holds good in degree, neverthe-
less. We Ike good butter on the outside Of
food where we can sec and taste it. If the
butter is poor, put it In the inside and bake
out its lad taste as far as can be done.
But we have wandered from cooking po.
tstoes, and must say more about boiling
them "mealy" at another time. The above
h nts are very small things to write about,
some will say, but 1t Is the little things that
have most to do with good cooking. The
larger matters everybody will, Of course,
look after.

Best Breed of Hans.

The question is often asked, Which Is
the best breed Of hens7" This Is o very
difficult matter to decide. Nearly every
variety has lie own particular admirers.
You may ask dozen different persons their
opinion on this matter, and they will re-
commend a. many different varieties. But the
profits Of poult y.raising depend more upon
the manner Of keeping than upon the breed.
As general thing, the smaller breeds will
b found most profitable; at any rate, the
indications are that il is so, as in this sec
ton oil tho large fancy breeds Of fowls
the Shanghai, Cochin China, etc.,-haye been
got rid Of, IS l mppose the old-flshioned
barn yard breed u found TO Be more cheaply
and easily raised, and TO give more eggs and
better flesh. But, as before remarked, BY
judiciously crossing with some Of the inn
ported fowls, an improvement Is made; for
Instance crossing with the Spanish, the half
bloods will Invariably commence laying
younger, generally before they are five
months old, and earlier in the season than
the fhlLblood Spanish fowls. Another evil
TOO prevalent Is IN breeding. Ny plan,
when eomnspeed was 70 procure 2 cock
and hen from widely different parts, so as to
avoid any relationship. From these bred,
