HOW TO BOIL VEGETABLES.

Vegetables are differently affected, ac-
ding as they are bo:lcd in hard or soft
water. The addition Of salt hardens wa
ter, ana a small amount of soda sostens
1t. The supply of water for cooking pur-
poses is usually hard and in cook n
beans peas. and other leguminous veg2-
tables. 70 salt should be used. sucn
vegetables do not boil tender in hard
water. A little soda, of an amount
about the size of a pea to a quart of wa
ter. should be added, and Wien the veg
etables are tender they should be salted
enough TO make them palatabie. Most
root vegetables-onions. beets and others
boil tasteless in soft water. and salt
must be added at the beginning Of the
cooking. In extracting the juices Of
meat for soup. use soft, cold water When
boiling beef, where it is desirable to re-
tain the juices of the meat, use boiling
sailed water.
