HOW THE CHEF is TRAINED.
1t Takes Him Ten Years to Acquire
Art of Cooking.


Art of Cooking.
The chef, whose salary is $4,000 a
year, tipped the cabman handsomely

delphia Bulletin.
How one becomes a chef?" he said
You want to know how one learns to
be a chef, eh? Well, the answer is, by
hard work-nine or ten years of hard
work"
The chef" he said, begins as a
boy, as apprentice to master. For
several years be works under the vege-
mashed potatoes that look like white
roses, how to cook and arrange all the
vegetables, from the truffle down, In a
hundred fine and beautiful ways. He
gets no salary. He only gets his
board.
"Now for q year he studies raw
meats. He learns how to select them
and how to cut them up. He can tell
at a glance, for instance, the genuine
salt-meadow mutton from the false.

goes a study of fish and of game and of
poultry-how to stuff, dress, lard, truss
and so on.
Next for a year, at a small salary,
he stands before the range, learning
how to broil, fry, roast and bake.
He now reaches the foundation Of
his art and is admitted into the pres
ence of the chef himself-only assist
ants have taught him so far The chef
teaches him how to make soups, pas
tries, ices and the more complicated
buildings and souffies. Three or four
years Is none too long a time to study
here.
Ten years of hard work should turn

Such 4 chef without difficulty earns
from $25 a week up to $3.50. # he
gave half as much time to the bar, the
church, or medicine he would earn
thrice as much"

Strawberry Culture,

L believe there are few farmers that
would be without Strawberries if they
knew how easily they can be grown,
writes George Jorgensen, OF Poy Sippi,
Wis. Many fail on account of follow
ing the widespread notion Of planting
in August. Others attempt to reset
plants which have already fruited and
are therefore worthless.
L pillow soil in fall or early spring
and cultivate before planting. Any
soil that will grow corn or potatoes will
grow Strawberries. l have raised good
ones on heavy clay that had previously
been well MANFRED. The richer the
ground the better, provided the manure
is not applied the spring Of planting.
Heavy soil will perhaps yield more
berries, while sandy soil is easier to
handle. l plant as early as weather
will allow, running a spade into the
earth and making a sufficient opening
to permit the roots to be set in straight.
Take care that plants are not wilted
before setting. Press the ground firm
ly around the plant, making sure that
the crown is neither 50 high as to ex-
pose the roots or so low that dirt will
be washed into it. For hand culture
the rows need not be more than two
feet apart; for horse cultivation there
should be thirty to thirty-six inches
between rows. l generally have rows
from thirty-siX to forty-eight inches
apart, plants about eighteen inches
apart in row, and allow runners to
mat one foot or over. Use a line or
wire 70 get rows straight, this is neces
sary in horse cultivation. The groum

dry the plants will not require water

the surface with one horse cultiyator,
or garden rake on a small patch. This
will keep the ground from drying out.
