MAKE AN EXCELLENT DISH.
Sweet Potatoes Properly Cooked are
Very Palatable.


81 see that there is to be an exeep-
tionally large crop of sweetpotatoes TINS
vearn observed the Southerner In lhe
marty. land | am sure that the NEWS
would be much more thrilling TO New
Workers If they knew the proper way
to prepare the vegetable. Now, nat,
for myself that do know, for the sweet
potato is an appreciated vegetable III
the South and the manner of cooking !.
has NOT been carelessly considered
have never eaten sweet potatoes IN any
but one form since tasted them nrst'
and in that way they first become
known TO most Southerners, who lh-
deed continue to eat them so during the
most of their lives. The potatoes should
be peeled and boiled until they are
thoroughly but not too well cooked
Then they should be cut into -FOUR
pieces lengthwise and placed In I'm
baking pan. Butter and sugar should
be placed over the potatoes abundahuy
before they are put in the oven 10 BAKE
slowly. After a while the butter and
sugar, mingllng with the juice OF the
potatoes, forms a delicate crust that
should be cooked until 1t has almost
reached the point at which 1t Is candy.
Under this crust is a 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 and butter on top Of the potatoes
have formed a crust.
ut Is this unwillngness 10 cook
things long enough that interferes with
the success of many New York dishes.
Take 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 YorlShad for years a
reputation for the ham served at Its
free lunch. 1t was good, but merely be-
cause IL had been sufficiently cooked.
The old rule, and the one that Is fol-
lowed in the South to-day. is 10 boil a
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 bone at the ends. That
Is the method of cooking that makes a
ham in the South so very different from
the kind New York eats."-New York

The Chinese Cook.

Mrs. White determined In the FIST
flush of her newly wed dignity that
she was not going to be squeezed by
the Chinese cook and the storckcop r,
as It was quite plain every one olec
was. Accordingly she purchased seal $
and weights and announced her intrn
ton Of personally weighing everything.
For some days this method proved very
satisfactory, but she was sometimes n
little puzzled on finding that the proyi-
sions occasionally weighed more than
was charged for.
One day the mystery was solved.
She was carefully weighing chicken.
In China not only is everything, living
and dead, sold by weight, but fowls are
always supplied alive. The chicken
during the weighing operation sudden
ly entered a vigorous objection and be-
gan to flap and struggle with all its
might, and during these napplngs and
struggllngs something weighty fell
with a thud to the floor, evidently from
somewhere about the chicken. This
turned out to be n large piece CT lead
which had been cunningly fastened un.
der one of the wings. Further inyestl.
CATION led to the discovery of similar
piece underneath the other wing The
overweight of the pnst few days was
now accounted for.-Chambers' Jour
