Mrs. Kennedy even had to get out of
bed at o'clock last Tuesday morning
and mend a setting hen that he broke
UP. The thing grew nonotonous. Mrs.
Kennedy sent the rooster home to Mrs.
McClintock under guard twenty times
tAIrs. McClintock said it was only twice.,
and asked her to keep him al home, and
then tod Mrs. McClintock if he didn' I
let her setting hens alone she would kill

All things should be cooked well,
There are but two classes of cookery,
the good and the bad. There is no me-
dium. II things are not palatable they
are bad. 1t is not only the food that is
wasted, but.the time of preparation;
and, strange as it may seem, the most
artistic and the most wholesome ways
of preparing foods are the simplest.
One great trouble with the average
housewife is that she has not studied
the art Of cooking which, being
complicated one, cannot be learned
from book any more than the art of
painting or dancing can be picked up
without an instructor. To save trouble
the housewife falls into routine;
oyerwork and over-anxiety rob her Of
her appetite, and she is poor Judge of
the appetite of others.-.Mrs. s. 7.
