COOKED CARRoTs.-Not fourth as many
are used upon our tables that should be. l
know there is prejudice against them as
vegetable, but this prejudice is among those
only who refuse, on account of it, to give it
fair trial. Few seem to know how to
cook them properly, though they are as
easily prepared as any other vegetable.
Scrape them well, or pare as thinly as
possible, split them third of the way
| down from the top, and put them in boil
ing water with salt They require consider
able, say from a half hour for small young
carrots to an hour and half for larger
ones, according to size. When done they
should be placed round dish of corned
beef or boiled mutton, or buttered and used
I as q side dish. Carrots are also excellent in
soups and stews. | use them constantly in
my cooking in this way. They should be
cut into oblong bits or sliced thin, and then
! add in the usual way of other vegetables to
the soup. They will retain their freshness
and flavor for three or four days.
STEws.-For a change there is nothing
more sppetiZing than frst-class stew,
whether made of mutton or beef Mutton,
however, is to be preferred. But, like every
thing else, it must be wel-prepared. Moth
| ing will give more satisfaction as an occa-
sional dinner in a family. 1t is, beside,
very economical dish. For a goodsized
family take three pounds of mutton chops
or of beefsteaks, divided into middling
sized pieces, and place layer of meat at tho
bottom Of the pot then Il layer of sliced
potatoes, cnt rather thick, and then another
layer of meat, and so on until the whole is
in the pot. Salt and pepper as you so
along. then pour in pint or pint and
half of cold water, adding more If it should
be required, and let simmer for two hours or
two hours and half, until thoroughly done.
An onion or few herbs adds to the quality
of the stew, but it is not relished by every
body.
FRIcAssEEp CHIcKEN-A fat young
chicken is good cooked in any way, but in
no way quite so good as broiled when very
young, or fricaseed when full-grown. To
prepare fIicasee as it ought to be done, all
the skin must be removed, say from two
fowls, then carve the carcass carefully and
neatly, completely separating the white
meat from the black. The black meat must
be chopped up fine, seasoned with pepper
and salt, adding about two ounces of butter.
some swee. herbs, and q pint of water,
dredged with -four. Stew slowly until the
water is reduced one half This is for tho
gravy. When done, strain. Then place
the white meat in another stew pan, and
pour over the gravy, adding some mace and
little cayenne pepper. While simmering
add the yolks of two eggs, shaking up the
pan, and when done and before removing
from the pan add gill os sweet cream and
let it again simmer mot boiD for a single
moment
J This is as excellent dish as can be pu,
upon table, either for dinner or tea.

HUMOROUS.

MASSACHUSETTS SCENE.-On train that
was putting distance between it and place
called Boosting" by some, was a lady of the
variety known, as well preserved" who ap-
peared to be travelling alone. Behind her
sat specimen of human masculini:y indi-
geous to those parts, whose thoughts had
apparently long been busy with the one be-
fore him. At last, leaning forward in an
easy attitude, with his arms on the back of
the seat, he said:
"a fine Gay, marm."
"a beautiful day, indeed, sir" replied she.
After pause of few moments he said
"Mourning long z"
"About three months was the reply.
''Father or motherl"
Husband, SIR"
"Did he die Of long sickness Z"
"He was drowned"
''Seafaring man 2"
MY husband was captain of the Equinox,
wrecked last summer"
"Religious man?"
"He was, SIR"
"Save his chist T.
"The cargo and my husbands effects were
saved"
Don't you think you have a great deal
to be thankful for that he was pious man
and saved his chist Z"
No answer, and longer pause. Then he
said:
"About how much might you have paid
for that ere umberrel you have in your
hand2"
The widow rose, with glow on her face
"You are impertinent, sir!' and moved
| to the other side of the car. The "speci
men" took chew of tobacco, and looked
inquiSitirely out of the window.

"A Word for wives.

Little wives, if ever balfsuppressed sigh
finds place with you, or half-unloving
word escapes you to the husband whom you
love, let your heart go back to some tender
word in those first love days; remember
how you loved him then, how .enderly he
wooed you, how timidly you responded,
and, if you can feel that you have not grown
unworthy, trust him for the same good love
now. If you do feel that you have become
less loveable and attractive than you then
were, turn-by all that you love on earth,
or hope for in heaven-turn back and be
the pattern of loveliness that won him be
the "dear one" your attractions made you
then. Be the gentle, loving, winning mai
den still and doubt not the lover you ad-
mired will live forever in your husband.
Nestle ny his side, cling to his love, and let
his confidence in you never fail; and my
word for it, the husband will be dearer than
the lover ever was. Above all things do
not forget the love he gave you first. Do
not seek to ''emancipate" yourself; do not
strive to unsex yourself and become Lucy
Stone or Rev. Miss Brown; but love the
higher honor ordained by our Saviour oI
olt-that of loving wife. A happy wife
blessed mother, can have no higher sta.
tion needs no greater honor.

COOKED AND UNCooKED FooD.--A cores
pondent in the Neu England Farmer, says
II purchased two pigs, weeks old, Oct. 16,
1864. They were small breed, part Ches-
ter county. They were kept mostly on
skinned milk, with very little meal, till
May, 1865. From May to July they were
kept almost wholly on milk with few
weeds. When dry weather commenced, not
having sufficient milk for them, began to
give them meal, increasing the quantity as
the milk lessened. In September 1 began
to give them potatoes and pumpkins, but
did not discontinue the meal. For several
months their usual allowance was 3 quarts
of meal three times day. with what milk l
had, and the same quantity of potatoes, or
an equivalent in pumpkins. Several weeks
before they were killed. began gradually
to lessen the quantity of potatoes, but gave
some at every meal. l never cooked any
thing for them, and never gave them any
warm. They were never sick. Dec. Is,
1865, one weighed, dressed, 800, the other
342 lbs. Quite number of pigs of this
same litter were sold to different individuals
and killed about the same time. but not one
Of them, so far as can learn. weighed over
300 lbs. There are certainly two weighty
reasons for giving hogs uncooked food. 1t
saves labor, and avoids all danger of injur-
ing them with hot feed, while it adds to
the weight of the hogs and the quality Of
| the pork"
