How I'm Pan PnfafOem.

Cut raw potatoes in thin slices, put
them in q baking pan, sprinkling each
layer with salt. When the dish Is
nearly full. pour sufficient milk to COW
er the potatoes, and bake them In
slow oven about two hours. Stir them
occasionally. taking care not to break
the slices, and If the milk is reduced
more than one-half add a little more,
as there should be good deal Of mois-
ture when the process Is finished. This
mode Of cooking gives a peculiarly de-
licious favor even to inferior potatoes.

Raising Geese.

Gosllngs are easily raised. They
must be kept out of the wet weeds and
rain and must have plenty Of grass and
water. They should be fed bread and
milk as soon as hatched, for if you wait
until they learn to eat grass they will
not eat anything else. Bread and milk
is very essential, as the sweet milk will
make rapid growth.
