COOKING.
HON. f. L. GARDENHIRE.

Cooking is both science and an
art. Now don't stand aghast at this res
mark. l don't mean to say that it re-
quires a Solomon of science or a Ra-
phael of art. But l do mean to say,
that there may be science and art in
the kitchen, without anybody's think
ing of it. To know how to cook. we'll
is a science; To know how to cook
economically is an art. Making money
is an art, Now, is there not more
money made and lost in the kitchen
than almost anywhere else? Does not
many a hard working man have his
substance wasted in the kitchen? A
careless cook can waste as much as one
man can earn, which might as we'll be
saved. 1t is not what we earn, so

stupid woman can cook a relishable
meal of yictuals, if she has an abun~
dance of good things with which to do
it. But to cook well out of little,
and well from a scant larder, is real
art. This is a great accomplishment;
for while it will save money, it will
save health; and it will often save both
patience and love. Many a husband
loses his love with his money. Love
often runs out at the same place where
his money does. Some women wear
out their husbands love on their backs
and heads others cook it out in the
kitchen; others travel it out.
cit goes the same way very often
with the waste of money. While, there.

nary art, for the health and prosperity
Of the household, l do it also for do
nestle love. Oh, all We matrons,
young and old, rich and poor, learn to
practice the art of cooking, much with
little; so will you study the interest
of your household, and save much to
feed the fires of cOnjugal love-"
What man can be christian, with
his stomach full of indigestible bread
and meat, made so by bad cooking a?
And what man can long love a wo-
man who sets on his table such un-
healthy, intolerable stuff. When a
meal is well cooked and palatable, it is
easily digested, and the man is
healthy and strong, full of amiable
spirits, and ready to love and venerate
a wife, who thus has his meals pre-
pared. On the other hand, if the
housewife cuts out the choice bits Of
meat, and throws the other to the
dogs, and half cooks what she thus
cuts out, and the tired, hungry hus-
band is compelled to fill his stomach
with a crude mass of indigestible stuff
that gives him headache, collie and dis
pepsia, who could expect him to be
amiable? Writing with pain from a
mass of indigestible, rotton stuff in his
stomach, is it a wonder that he readily
loses his temper, says harsh things,
and commits acts of violence, that had
their origin in the pot and the skillet
Surely Job must have been spared the
afiiction of one of these dirty, wasteful,
lazy, bad cooks, or he might have ia
ken Mrs. Jobs advice to curse God
and die.
Good cooking is essential to the high
est health, the most joyous spirits, and
the most amiable disposition. Chill.
dren can play with man, after eating
a well cooked meal. But with the
abomination of bad cooking in his
stomach, the tOoling with him is worse
than handling edged tools.

Since 1877 have made an effort to
turn under all the green weeds and
grass that came up on my wheat and
oat land before the seed ripened, and l
have been handsomely paid for the

under the first part of October will be

enough to let you see that it was a rag
weed and how tall it grew. l like to
turn the weeds under deep enough not

and we will go to the opera. Our eli.
mate may make some difference, but I
have seen the almost sound root stalk
of a rag weed plowed up after crop of
wheat had been raised and the ground
run in clover. Ny plan is to turn the
ground when you can get the most
green vegetation, and drag it under
with a chain.
W. S. WAKEFIELD.
Maury county, Tenn.
In the preceding article from the
Southern Cultivator, Mr.. Warfeld ad-
yances good ideas. His way of follow
ing the turning pillow with a
two horse bull.tongue subsoiler will do,
but would prefer using the three.horse
sulky turner with a bull tongue or
other good subsoiler attachment. Many
of our Hickory Greek farmers of this
county are using the sulky turning
| pillow and are we'll pleased with it. 1t
not only does the work we'll, but is
easy on man and beast. The rolling
cutter cuts the sod and the pillow has
only to turn it over, which it does
beautifully and with ease to the team.
The pillow runs uniform depth, and
has sufficient weight to cut all the
briars and sprouts, when the latter are
not too large. The sulky not only does
its work well and is easy on the team,
but boy or an old man who can drive
team can run it. 1t will do the work
of two ordinary two.horse teams and
will be found to be great saving to
the farmer who uses it.

Teachers of Science.

It may not be amiss to call attention
to certain requirements in the teacher.
That an original investigator in any sci
ence may be poor instructor In that
science is too well known to be disput.
ed, but | believe it to- be equally true
tha5 no man can teach any science in
spirit and truth can produce upon his
pupils the effect that ought to be pro-
duced unless he has the spirit and
knowledge of an investigator himself.
In truth, it is confidently believed that
no man can be a teacher of the high
est order who has not walked in the
temple of mystery itself, and wrung
from Mother Nature some of her closely
guarded secrets. As well ask one who
has only read about disease to properly
teach medical students the practice of
medicine as to ask one who has only
read about any science to give proper
instruction to his students in it. Yet
this is the thing which the majority of
our colleges are doing, and they fill
their chairs as if they thought thor
ough training in any science disquali-
fed a man for teaching it. And then
