-FARMERS' COLUMN.


1l Preparing Vegetables for the Table.
Asparagus should be freshly cut. II
necessary to keep it little time before
cooking, stand the stalks upright in a
dish containing little water, in cool
place. Have The water boiling; salt It
well, aqd e9okr the asparagus, green
part alone, about twenty minutes, or
until tender, Toast few slices Of stale
bread, and dip in the water; butter
them, and lay the stalks upon them, with
thin shavings of butter over all. ri.
The portion of the preparation Of
greens that needs the most careful
attention, is the preliminary washing.
Many dish has been spoiled by gritti-
ness. With spinach or dandelions, for
instance, take each cluster, without dis
turbing the connecting root, pick out
stray bits of grass, then souce up aud
down in pailful of cold water, until
the soil is all rinsed off; finally cut OFF
the root, 1t is the most satisfactory
way. No limit of time can be given for
cooking greens, as that depends upon
their age and freshness. Soft water
should be used, salted. Some add a
little soda, thinking that it preserves
the green color Dandeloins especially
are considered wholesome in the spring,
as having medical effect upon the
system. Young bcets and turnips, with
the tops of each, horse-radish tops,
young milk-weed, "cowslips" or marsh
lnarisolds, chicory, and many others
are good as greens.
Green peas, to be good, must be fresh
Cook peas when shelled in barley water
enough to cover them, They SHOULD
cook in about twenty minutes, but i
not quite fresh, it viii take longer
Some boil the clean young pods first
then remove them and use that wate
to cook the peas. Rub two tablespoon
fuls Of butter smoothly With the sam,
quantity Of floor and add to the pea
when nearly done, letting it cook for
few minutes.-MARY NINcHEsTER il

large and Small SWINE.

Large white pigs have always been
very popular in England, where bacon
and hams are largely consumed. We
have imported into this country good
pigs Of some of these breeds, which have
made a good reputation, and among
them the best known is perhaps the
Large Yorkshire. This name however,
is not absolutely distinctive, for the
large white breed is not pecuiarTo any
special county in England, where the
Large Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Lin
colnshire pigs are all classed asthe large
white breed These three counties ad-
join each other, and there is really no
essential difference between the pigs Of
the several localities, except as individual
breeders take pains with their herds.
This race of swine, which is popular in
that part of England, has been much
improved of late years, although the
writer, when in that country as long as
thirty years ago, met with many animals
which weighed from seven hundred to
nine hundred pounds, and these were
considered as nothing unusual as to size.
A good deal has been said and written
OF late Of early maturing pigs; animals
which will reach profitable weight at
nine months old. But it is altogether a
matter of fancy, whether an animal
should weigh three hundred pounds in
nine or ten months, or three times that
weight at three times the age. Certainly
there is something in the uses to be
made of the pork, which has influence
upon the manner of feeding the animals
and it would not do to have all the pigs
of very large size. For some uses,
large sides and hams are desirable, and
it is beyond question that the meat of a
full matured pig has some qualities,
which make it preferable to that OF a
pig forced 10 great weight before its
muscles have been matured For some
purposes fat is more valuable than lean,
but generally "a streak of lean and a
streak of fat, in pork, makes it most
desirable for food. The large English
breeds have this peculiarlty, and on That
account are preferred BY many breeders.
