Sweet Potatoes Properly Cooked Are
Very Palntnbic.
Il see that there Is to be an eXcep.
tlOnally large crop Of sweet potatoes this
year." observed the Southerner In the
party, land I am sure that the news
would DO much more thrilling to New
Workers II they knew the proper way
to prepare the vegetable. Now, ! Hat
ter myself that do know, for the sweet
potato Is an appreciated vegetable In
the South aud the manner Of cooking 1t
has not been carelessly considered. !
have never eaten sweet potatoes In any
but one form since I tasted them first,
and In that way they first become
known to most SOutherners, who In
deed continue to cut them SO during the
most Of their lives. The potatoes should
be peeled and boiled until they are
thoroughly but not too we'll cooked.
Then they should be cut into four
pieces lengthwise and placed In tin
baking pan. Butter and sugar should
be placed over the potatoes abundantly
before they are put In the oven to bake
slowly. After Il while the butter and
sugar. mingling with the juice Of the
potatoes, forms delicate crust that
should be cooked until 1t has almost
reached the point Mt which 1t Is candy.
Under this crust Is thick, rich syrup
Of the sap of the potatoes, sugar ana
butter. Anybody who has eaten sweet
potatoes In this way will never be sat.
isfed with any other way OF cooking
them. The principal merit of this meth.
cd lies. Of course, In having them thor
Oughly cooked. The fire must be slow
and the cooking must continue until the
sugar aud butter on top Of the potatoes
have formed a crust.
ut is this unwillingness to cook
things long enough that interferes with
the success OF many New York dishes.
Take q boiled ham, for instance. Few
of the boiled hams In New York are
cooked. They are generally more or
less raw In the center, merely because
nobody Is willing to take the necessary
time to have them thoroughly boiled.
One hotel In New York had for years a
reputation for the ham served mt Its
free lunch. 1t was good, but merely BIO.
cause 1t had been sufficiently cooked.
The old rule. and the one that Is fol-
lowed In the South to-day, Is to boil q
ham One'half hour for every pound.
Thus a ten-pOund ham ought to be al
lowed to boil for five hours, and In that
way the meat will be kept firm, dry and
sweet throughout, instead of raw and
wet In the center and cooked until II
is as dry as a bone at the ends. That
is the method of cooking that makes q
ham In the South 30 very different from
the kind New York eats."-New York
Sun.

IN wAsHINGroN
Hon q spliman, OF Kinghsher, at ths
National Capital

Hon r q spliman, OF KIngAsher, at the
National Capital
The Evening Times of Washington,
D. c., says; Z. A. Spilman, OF King
fisher, Oklahoma, a member of the
Democratic national congressional
'committee, is at the National for a
few days. He called on former Sena-
tor Arthur P. German and John r.
Mclean this morning to urge the sup
port of the Democrrtic leaders for the
free homes bill now before congress
The most important question Ia
Oklahoma today" said Mr.. Spilman,
sis that Of free homes for the resi-
dents Of the territory, 1t will effect
the Democratic party throughout the
entire southwest The people in my
country feel that they are entitled TO
all the benefits provided for in the
Eddy aud Pettigrew bills, which,
while they are not idsntically the
same, will be made SO in conference.
The bill IL passed will remove the
government price of $3.50 an acre on
lands opened under the present home
stead act, and make thousands of
acres free TO settlers after Ave years
occupation. This will mean a saving
in the wealth OF the territory of be-
tween eight and ten millions of dol-
lars, equal 10 the value of the entire
wheat crop for one season. / have
worked hard in the interest OF the bill
and think ii will be passed during
the coming session of congress-. All
the political parties are pledged to
pass such a law, and Republicans and
Democrats alike are supporting II in
Oklahoma" MIR. Spiliman visited the
capitol today in the interest of the
free homes bill, and will probably
leave Washington for Oklahoma to-
night.
