BALKY HoRsEs.-It Is rarely well to
whip or kick or scold balky horse. as Is
the common practice. One of the best
methods is to feed where he stands with
any accessible food, such rs oats, ears of
corn, or even grass by the waysde, or hay
from the wagon, which can be provided for
the emergency. Forgetting his whim he
will generally start without trouble. An
other good way is to do something not
harmful, but new, which will direct his
thoughts, and before he knows it he will
be jogging unconsciously along. Some
times, if one can spare the day il is best to
wait TILL, from unessiness and hunger. the
animal submits to the will of his driver, and
the triumph in this instance is generally
complete. In any event, it Is poor policy
to whip and abuse the animal, because it
does no good.

How to cook vegetables.-lt Is often OBJ
served that meal from vegetables is not
satisfying; but it frequently happens that
the persons who thus object do not know
even how to boil vegetable. The rule
is simple and should never be forgotten.
Every kind of vegetable intended to be
served whole should, when put to boil.
be placed at once in boiling water; and
this applies especially to potatoes and
vegetables from which the outer coating
has been removed, Now it often happens
that potatoes, ETC., are, TO save time,
placed in cold water and left to boil grad
ually. 1t is just this that allows the nutr,-
cious matter to escape, and renders the
meal unsatisfying. When, on the con-
trary, the water bOils from the moment
that the vegetable is immersed in 1t, the
albumen Is partially coagulated near the
surface, and serves to retain the virtue of
the vegetable. The reverse Is of course,
the. rule for making soup, or any dish
from which the water will not be drained.
By placing the vegetable in cold wator
the albumen is slowly dissolved, and actu-
ally mixes with the water-a process
most necessary for the production Of nu-
tritious soup.
