The Modern Cook.

49,
What are some Of tho things that ev-
cry cook who prepares a meal for any
family ought TO know Unless the
whole routine OF her work be haphazard
and unreliable, she should have intelli-
cent and well defined opinions concern
ing the relations of food to physical
growth, so that she can furnish that
which is the best adapted to the whole
household, 10 to build up healthful and
symmetrical bodie3 for the children as
well as tho mature workers in the family,
the nutriment necessary to keep good
the balance between supply and de-
mand. The children should not fail to
develop properly on account of her ig-
norancc of their needs. The father
should never give out more vitality in
his struggle with the world thon she
can make good to him as she prepares
his daily food. All this implies a prac-
teal application of the principles taught
in physiology and chemistry, as well as
q knowledge of the kind aud the quail
ity of nourishment stored in plants.
flesh, fish and fowl. Earth, air and sea
furnish her with materials which she
must understand how TO prepare, so
that it can be transformed into bone,
blood and muscle in such proportion
that each shall have its proper devel-
opment. She must be both too wise
and too humane to concoct any dish or
brew any drink that will induce dys-
popsia, headache or dullness.
Never until cook gives more time TO
the mastery of such studies will cook
cry take its proper place among tho
sciences. These bodies Of ours are ex-
ceedingly complicated aud delicate ma
chimes, not TO be safely tempered with
by bungling. A blacksmith can under
take with greater impunity TO make a
watch than an ignorant and unframed
housekeeper TO build up, without
knowledge or skill, a symmetrical and
perfectly-developed human body, And
when the value of these bodies, not only
rs physical organisms, but as related 10
mental growth, is fully appreciated, the
work of the skilled cook will rank with
that of other great scientists, and more
than that, with other great philanthro-
pists. 1t is not extravaganza TO say that
the progress OF humanity toward true
perfection depends largely upon this
branch of domestic economy. How
much thought and study are given tc
the proper food for fine stock. Surely
we owe as much care to our children as
10 our herds. 1t is certainly true that
just in proportion TO the advance OF any
people in civilization will be the adj
vance Of care and skill in the prepare
ton Of the articles of food. Il is, there
fore, worthy of an absorbing study.
Health, mental yigor, virtue and hap
piness are more closely d. endent than
we arc apt to imagine on the cook that
reigns in the kitchen. Mrs. H.. y.

kindly treatment Of Domestic Animals

Nothing can be more foolish than the
attempt to catch either a horse, COW,
pig, sheep or dog by running after it.
How many futile attempts to catch a
horse have been made in pursuance of
the above method. How many times
has the horse, just as the hired man was
about to walk up to its head and at the
point of catching it, made a sudden
wheel and shown the brightness of its
shoes, At this juncture we have seen q
little boy, who had never struck the
horse with a whip, but who had given
the animal many an apple in days gone
by, stroking him and PLAYING with him
lat the time we have seen even this
little fellow take the horse quietly by
the foretop, and together they would
go to any desired point. Or perhaps a
lady makes her appearance, in whom
the horse recognizes q friend who has
frequently RECALLED him with a lump of
sugar. He does not even wait for the
lady to come TO him; for he goes to her,
and the simple lump Of sugar will en-
able his mistress to lead the noble horse
TO his stall, a task which all the chasing
and yelling Of the hired man has failed
70 accomplish. The intelligent animal
is attracted neither by the personal APP
pearauoe nor the tone of voice of the
rough fellow who strives to rule by
force alone.
Another individual attempts by run
ming and yelling to catch his COW or
cows. Why do these naturally gentle
animals u away from himP Because
they remember full well that on former
occasions, when he has succeeded In
catching them, q series of blows from
some heavy cudgel has been their re-
ward. Is there not some better way of
securing the good will Of our herds and
IN managing them as We wishp There
IS q hollow place on the head OF every
COW, just behind the junction of the
horns, which is commonly full of dust,
short hairs and the like, causing the
animal an itching sensation. IL is a
source OF extreme pleasure TO the COW
TO have the spot scratched, and (since
from its location the animal herself
cannot reach it), hence, when her
keeper approaches her, either in the
stable or in the pasture, an era of good
feeling may at once be established II
due attention DO paid to scratching this
hollow spot. IT, at your first APP
proach, the COW is a little shy, offer her
from n hand a nubbin OF corn while
with the other hand you gently scratch
the particular spot in her head men
toned above. In a very short time,
whenever you go into their pasture, the
whole herd viii come TO you to have
their heads scratched, and you will soon
be satisfied that it is as easy to have
them follow you as to resort to driving
and loud noise. -Anleriean Cu'tiuator.

Packing Eggs.

There is a mode of packing eggs by
which they may be safely carried ally
distance, and oyer rough roads, with
out any damage. And there is another
mode by which half of them may be
very easily broken. The secret lies In
solid packing, with an elastic material
between the layers. We have watched
many barrels of eggs opened without a
single broken in them; and many
badly packed, which we would not
have handled had they been given to us
for nothing. The proper mode of
packing, either in barrels, boxes, or
baskets, Is to place first a layer of long
hay or straw three inches thick in the

taking care that they do not touch
