Thorough Cooking.

I Itiss one Of the most common
mistakes of the cook to give too
little time to the cooking of meat
and and vegetables. She is care
less about getting them over the
FIRE in season, and to make up for
the delay, she attempts to crush
things by using very hot fire,
spelling the food by too furious
boiling or baking. Hard boiling
toughens the fiber of meat, and
spoils the texture, of vegetables,
but a long steady boiling heat grad
ually softens Or makes tender the
toughest. fbers. o9Many persons supa
pose. that certain articles of food do
not agree with them, when the
whole difficulty arises from the inn
perfect mannerin which they are pre-
pared. Some vegetables are. thought
to be especially provocative of
hatulenoe, but aimofs thof6ug cock
ing usually remedies that evil. Flat
ulence has other causes, as over
eating, or too great proportion of
sugar IN the diet, but those articles
of food which are usually associated
with the evil may be. robbed of
these terrors by lahore prolonged
cooking. y Qook dry beans seseral
hodrs,a gentle but STEADY simmer
ing-fye, hours arg. not too many,
even9 after an all night soaking.
Dry peas need the same treatment.
VegetaBl q nee q more and more
time as they grow older. By spring,
-rutabagas need cooking almost half
a day and ohious Should be boiled
an hour or more. Satisfy and
psranips, 1sspeciatiy The former,
need horauthan thatgetey ralhutes
