English Cookery.

In England very little benefit is ex-
tracted from the present long list Of
vegetable substances. Bread and po-
tatoes, cabbage, and in the agricultural
districts, beans, with little bacon and
cheese, and milk for the children, al
most exhaust the list of food attainable
by the working village population.
What is called butchers meat rarely
makes its appearance in the cottage of
an agricultural laborer, but it is quite
certain that if the humble and whole
some materials at his disposition were
more skillfully treated, he would be
greatly the better In manufacturing
towns great quantities of food are de-
stroyed, rather than consumed, owing
to the ignorance of the women of the
most elementary principles of cooking

"lump" of butter of indefinite size,
some bacon and few eggs Of doubtful
freshness, compose the culinary prepa-
ratons of family earning between e.
