Philosophy of Cookery.

Mrs. Hale says: Cookery is an art be-
longing to woman's department Of knowl-
edge; it's importance can hardly be over
estimated, because it acts directly on hui
man health, comfort and improvement.
One of the first duties of woman in domes-
tic life is to understand the quality of pro-
visions and the preparation of wholesome
food. The powers of the mind as well as
those of the body are greatly dependent on
what we eat and drink. The stomach
must be in health or the brain can not act
with its utmost vigor and clearness, nor
can there be strength Of muscle to perform
the purpose of the will. To preserve the
full nourishment of meats and other arti-
cles of food, in dressing and cooking, is an
art which requires a large amount of
scientific Knowledge, added to long ex-
perience and observation. Without the
knowledge derived from this two-fold
source, a great part of food is wasted and
health injured. 1t is an established prin-
ciple in physiology that man is omniverous
that is, constituted to eat almost any
kind of food containing nourishment. He
can eat and digest them in raw state !;
but his health is promoted by their being
cooked, that is, softened by the action of
fire and water.

Improving Seed Wheat.

A writer in the Rural Net0 Yorker, who
has been remarkably successful in the cul-
tivation of wheat as a farm crop says: It
has been my practice for the last eighteen
years to run my wheat for seed over a very
coarse seed screen, so as to SOW none but
the very largest kernels BY SO doing l
have improved my wheat so that have sold
my wheat at home for seed. But in 1871
hit upon new plan. 1 had a piece of
Treadwell wheat that was injured by insects
in the previous fall and killed by freezing
in the winter, SO that there were spots not
worth cutting. After harvest observed a
few scattering heads Of unusual size. 1t
occurred 30 me that there was wheat that
had withstood the ravages of the insects
and the rigor Of the winter. l gathered
enough to sow one rod square, from which
l realized twenty pounds of wheat, of un-
usually large, even berry, which was at the
ratio Of over fifty bushels per acre last
harvest had twenty bushels which weighed
sixty six pounds per bushel. 1t is my opin-
ion that we realize the best crops from the
best and most perfect seed in the vegetable
as we'll as the animal kingdom.
