SUMMER VEGETABLES.
BY Louis Role.


At this season of the year we all eat
vegetables, since they are not only sea
sonable but healthy. but sometimes W.
tire of the old or usual ways of serving
them. Thanks to better knowledge OF
cookery, there are now many methods OF
preparing the gifts the summer brings
and few of the most approved l Will
make the basis of this article.
You will notice that none of the re-
cipeS given call for any great outlay or
money. although some of them may re-
quire the use of little time. 1t Will
not be time misspent, however as those
who share your table will testify.
An essential to us all is the onion and
the Spanish onion is one in great favor
have found 1t most desirable for stuff
fling and suggest you try my method.
When the onions are large | allow one
to each two persons, but otherwise stun
one for each person ut the table. Pull
off the thin outside skin and the roots,
but do not use a knife for this, as YOU
may cut so deep as to penetrate tn"
onion and injure it for your purpose.

NOODLES AS A VEGETABLE

With three slightly beaten eggs mix
two tablespoonfuls of water. a little salt
and enough flour to make II stiff dough.
Work well, adding more -four when
necessary, and when smooth cut off a
small piece and roll 1t as thin as n
wafer Sprinkle this with -four and
make into tight little roll and with a
sharp knife cut 1t into ribbons one
quarter inch wide. Let them dry for an
hour or more, then throw them, a few
at time, into boiling sailed water.
Separate them carefully with a fork to
prevent their mating together, and
when done, skim them out and keep
them warm until enough are cooked.
Season with butter, place them on the
dish In which they are to be served and
sprinkle over them bread crumbs which
have been lightly Drowned in hot butter
This dish is to be served with meat or
fish,

POTATO BLIGHT IN STOWE.
o the Editor of the Free Press:

Sir: I visited Stowe Tuesday, August
49, and there found the first signs / have
seen this season Of late blight on pota-
to leaves. In no case was IT very far
a few leaves on each hill show
cd the brownish black spots and when eX-
amined carefully on the under side each
spot revealed the delicate white mildew
which is the cause of the disease. Prompt
application of Bordeaux mixture in such
fields is the only thing that can prevent
serious loss from blight and rot. ] there
fore ask you to convey this warning note
to your readers
If anyone is In doubt as to the presence
of the blight on his plants we Will prompt
ly examine specimens if sent to the EN-
pertinent station and report the results.
The best way to send such specimens Is
roll them In newspaper since they do not
backen and decay so quickly thus as when
packed in a bCx.
Many of your readers know how to make
and use the Bordeaux mixture. The fol-
lovNlg brief directions will aid others:
Take IL pounds of blue vitriol Copper
sulphate) and l pound of quick lime mot
air slackcd) to ten gallons of water Dis
solve the vitriol In one-half the water,
Stake the lime In another vessel and add
1t to the rest of the water thus making
a thin whtewash, Then mix the two and
stir thoroughly. Add Paris green IL desir-
ed FOR bugs.
Apply In whatever way IL most conven-
lent aiming to cover the upper surface of
every leaf as completely AZ possible. This
can be done best and most economically
of both time and mixture by means of a
spray pump. But a sprinklng can or
even pail and a wisp of hay may serve
the purpose in the absence of the pump.
BE sure to apply literally, using at least
three barrels to the acre Bordeaux mix
ture will not injure the plants II used In
any amount DO the work promptly and
or II will be OF little use.
