Celery is not only very healthful

waste the leaves and root trimmings.
Hardly any thing gives farm .

OF bushes around every field, and
clumps OF brush growing in the middle
OF them.
Salmon Salad: Cut some salmon
into pieces the size of a dollar, garnish
with lettuce. chopped beet and strips
OF lettuce. Put salad dressing over
the whole and serve.
Keep the onions in the barn loft
or some other dry place. When the
crop is dug let them dry well. Store
them free from dirt and loosely, as
they should not be piled, but scattered.

Rock Cream: Sweeten one cup of
cold boiled rice and put in deep dish;
lay on it. in different places, small
squares OF jelly; beat the whites of
six eggs to froth with n little pow
dered sugar; add one tablespoonful OF
cream and pour over the rice.
The term breaking" as applied
to the domestic animals has an I'M

Fish Croquettes: Take dressed
fish of any kind, separate the meat

suit the taste. Add one well-beaten
egg, IA very little -four and milk, and
make into balls. Roll these in egg,
then in cracker crumbs, and fry nice

-Smothered Veal: Place in the
bottom OF a baking pan three or four
potatoes sliced. one small onion sliced,
two slices of salt pork cut into strips,
season with salt, pepper and sage,
place over this three or four pounds of
veal from the breast, or any other part
desired, cover the meat with sliced
potatoes, onion and other seasoning,

oven and cook one and one-half hours,

When cream is thick and ropy,
and will not churn. it is because of the
presence of an excess OF albumen,
which is like the white of an egg.
This also prevents the escape of the
air. gathered by churning. as is de-
noted by the swelling OF the cream,
which becomes frothy. Too low a
temperature sometimes operates in
this way, while too high tempera-
ture makes the butter too soft and
porous. 1t is we'll to raise the tenn
perature of the cream somewhat
higher than the churning point. and
let it lower at it. as fat is bad con-
ductor and does not heat as soon as the
fluids in the cream.
