bread, toasts and puddings, and, final.

of boiled wheat.

boiled wheat, after you onco learn to
eat It, YOU always like it. My hus,

bright, when he sees the above named
article on the table, and he says when
through eating, "Marie, what a good
healthy meal this was have it often,
or, dear, and pleuty of it,"
Perhaps not every farmers wife
knows how to prepare this healthy
dish. The wheat should be cracked
in mii. fake one quart and put

let it.stspd upon the stove several
