TPE FUMES OF CABBAGE.-Many
persons are fond of cabbage, but not at
all fond of the unpleasant fumes which
penetrate the entire house during the
process ofboiling. Therefore we recon-
mend pnanner of cooking that rerders
the vegetable SO pleasant to the taste as
to obliterate all prejudice against its
free use. Reduce the cabbage to small
pieces nearly fine enough tor slaw, then
stew for halt an hour III covered sauce
pan, with not enough water to cover it.;
when done, drain off the water and sea-
son with salt, pepper ard liberal guam
tlty of butter, using vinegar on the
table. Served in this way, you have a
nice Vegetable, much more delicate
than boiled cabbage, and suitable to eat
with any kind of meat you may chance
to have on hand.
