KITCHEN MANAGEMENT.
Lots of Trouble Saved by a Little Fore
thought and Method.

Lots of Trouble Saved by q Little Fore
thought and Method.
The great point of good management
N the kitchen is to clean things away
hs you go on, and to be one day ahead
IN ordering necessaries. For instance,
take the everyday want of tea and
sugar. At starting, order in two pack
cts of each, and as one packet is cleared
order in another, so you will always be
prepared for an emergency, and the
servant will not be called away from
GERS" The kitchen, managed by some
looks, is everlastingly in muddle, be-
cause things, after they have been
used, are left here, there and every
y here, instead of being washed and put
away in their proper places. The mis-
drcss of the house should insist upon
order in the kitchen, and also that her
at least in preparing them-befort
they are wanted; that is to say, with re-
gard to potatoes, try to get them pared
early in the day, and don't leave the
Smelling of peas when in season until
the last moment. A dinner is often
spoiled through vegetables being in
sufficiently cooked. 1t is the fashion in
some houses to put kitchen clock on
at least ten minutes, a plan that is
worth following when the cook has a
tendency to be late. 1t is wonderful
what lot of trouble will be saved by
q little forethought and method in tie
Kitchen; and how time is economical
if every vessel is in it's right place.
Sometimes one sees the sink laden with
dirty pudding basins, milk jugs, knives
and forks and other things besides.
Cooks will leave stale pieces of bread
about, and choppers and boards with
fragments of meat still clinging to
Them. This is all very untidy and very
unnecessary. One great secret of sue
cess in cooking is to have everything
clean and fresh; another is: "Never
put off till the last anything that can
be done beforehand" thirdly, keep Q
wary eye upon the clock.--Madame.
