BE CAREFUL IN PRE-
PAIRING VEGETABLES

IF vegetables not quite fresh are
brought into the kitchen there is
no hope Of ever restoring them to FIRST
class condition. Even good vegetables
win not be- at their very best If not
properly cared for after they have been
received
Most housewives think that washing
vegetables with water Is the last word
In carefulness- SO It is n the water Is
above suspicion. but when water is not
considered safe for drinking It should
be boiled as well for washing vege-
tables as it should be for family con-
sumption.
AS to the best way OF washing vege-
tables. a few cautions win not come
amiss. Some people never eat aspara-
gus at table unless Il has been pre-
pared by some one who is careful as
they do not enjoy biting on sand The
cleaning OF this vegetable requires
conscience as well as time.
The bunch should be placed. heads
down. In water for some hours and
should be shaken back and forth to
dislodge the particles OF earth
Spinach is another vegetable which
requires the very best attention In the
cleaning line to free It from grit Aft
er the roots have been cut OF 1t should
be washed in a number Of waters and
lifted out OF the pan each time in loose
handfuls before the water has been
drained on.
Celery and lettuce and other salad
plants. eaten raw. must be washed
with especial care. They should be
searched with particular care. leaf by
leaf. for insects. washed in several wa
tiers and then wiped dry with a clean
cloth and put in cold place to become
crisp Otherwise these vegetables are
not worth eating.

Banner Grange Counties.

Jefferson and Chautauqua counties Of
New York state are vying with each
other for premier honors in grange
membership. The former has the lead
just now, with its 1900 members,
though t'hautauqua has reached the
1000 mark and better. Jefferson has
twenty delegates to the next state
grange meeting. and Chautauqua has
nineteen. They are both grand grange
counties, doing excellent work in the
Order and making their influence felt
for the farmers good in many ways.
When we speak Of 1000 grange men,
bership In a single county and realize
that this is quite ten times as many
Patrons as few of the western
grange states contain. and these states
have as many delegates to the nation
al grange as does the entire state of
New York. with its nearly 100000
members, we find in 1t rather strong
argument for proportional representa-
ton.
At the recent meeting of Pomona
oranges in the above counties special
lines Of work were indicated as being
planned for the near future. In Jeffer-
son a county Patrons cooperative
trade association is being organized.
which will be governed by a board of
thirty three directors. one from each
grange in the county. The working
out of the plan will be watched with
interest, inasmuch as successful CO.
operation is now interesting many
grange communities. In the same
county farm bureau is being organ
ized. in which the grange is taking a
prominent part.
