SHORT CHAT ABOUT OATMEAL.-No
one can live long in q Scotch community
without noticing the healthful look of the
children, whose food consists largely of oat-
meal, compared with those fed on fine
grains, or even groats. which are the same
only without the husks. This chaf or
husk, however, which is left in the meal,
contains some points that act as a stimu-
liant on the coats of the bowels to keep
them active without medicine, and render
the food of great benefit to the dyspeptic.
There is no method of cooking oatmeal
equal to the making of porridge, and when
properly prepared 1t IS generally favor1te
dish for breakfast. What makes your
oatmeal porridge so good?" is frequent
question in our house from strangers, and
they think the meal must be of superior
quality. But to prepare it properly the
water must be boiling, necessary salt added,
and the oatmeal then stirred in slowly by
sitting it through the fingers. The process
must not be hurried if Jumps would be
avoided. When it begins to boil up well,
stop stirring and close the pot tightly. Set
at the back of the stove while you cook the
rest of the breakfast. Lift the porridge
without any more stirring, as it is this that
breaks the grain and makes it waxy. The
Scotch do not stir with spoon, but with a
smooth, flattened stick called spurtle,
that any one can make according to their
own idea. This gives more eyenness to the
mixing andif cooked in this way the por-
Ridge will be sweet, whole-grained and
