broths and Soups Seem to Be Espe.
cially Favorcd-For Stewed Ok
tall--Just How to Brander
a Steak.

The following recipes come from a
Scotch housewife who says they are
favorites in the land Of the thistle,
her own family having used them Tor
many years. Scotch housewives take
special pride in the preparation OF
wholesome broths and soups, one OF
the famous ones being cookie leekie,"
Any fowl touch ttender), youthful or
middle aged, may be used, but II one
does not possess n fowl, beef may
take its place. though the dish will
not be so delicate in flavor. For four
pounds of meat, eight or nine large
leeks and pepper and salt to taste.
Wash the leeks thoroughly and II they
are old scald them for few minutes
In boiling water. Take of the roots
and part Of the heads and cut them
into pieces OF about an inch In length.
Put the meat and half OF the leeks into
the pot, and allow these to simmer
gently for about half an hour; add the
remaining leeks and boil them for
fully and season to taste with salt
and pepper
For stewed oxtail cut the tail at the
joints, discarding one or two pieces at
the extreme points. Put them into q
stewpan with just enough water to
cover them When the water begins
TO boil, remove the scum on top and
add sliced onion and two carrots.
After covering let the meat simmer
gently for two and half hsurs. Melt
an ounce of butter In little pan, stir
in gently half an ounce of -four and
some of the strained liquid from the
meat Allow this to boil for five or ten
minutes. Add tablespoonful OF catsup
and little lemon juice. After brown
ing II slightly pour the GAUGE over the
tails, which should be arranged with
the vegetables on a dish. Serve ut
once.
10 broil, or in Scotch parlance, to
"brander," steak In Scotch style,
have the "brander." or gridiron, very
hot and the Are clear and bright. A
little salt sprinkled over the iire will
keep down the fame. When the bran
der Is hot rub It all over with piece
of suet. This prevents the steak
from sticking; Cut the skin that lies
along the edge of the steak in several
places and fatten slightly with a roll
ing pin. Lay 1t on the gridiron and
turn 1t every half minute with steak
tongs With double gridiron II is o:
course unnecessary to use the tongs,
but in shifting the meat about while
on the gridiron steak tongs are useful,
and not as familiar as they should DO
among American housewives who too
often use fork for the purpose, A
fork should never be put into the meat
while II Ia cooking Have ready a
very hot dish and when the steak has
been turned for ten minutes lift 1t up
and slip II on the hot dish. Put on
a cover and set II into a Dutch oven.
Let II stand for ten minutes. Lacking
Dutch oven, the American house
wife will have to content herself with
her up.to.date gas range. The steak
is then lifted on to the hot gridiron
and turned for five minutes more.
Serve on a hot platter after spreading
lightly with butter. Americans. as
they like their steaks rare, will select
a very thick steak II they desire to
cook II in Scotch style.

Butter and Cheese.

Good butter has NO strong odor. It
is of an even, golden yellow and has a
fine grain; II slick 1t has not been
properly handled II should never be
marbled In appearance. If there is too
great proportion of moisture present
the butter breaks easily. In this case
the purchaser pays for the water.
Cheese should be of good color, de-
pending on the variety, and OF fine
grain. The cheese with large air cells
is usually not OF the best quality; II
the fat separates from the body OF the
cheese rapidly 1t usually indicates the
addition OF foreign fat.

A SPOT.

Another bad accident has occur
red at the curve at the foot of the
hill at Morgan. 1t is to be hoped
that with the completion of the new
bridge over Cheesequake creek the
freeholders will take the necessary
steps to have the road so straight
ened that this dangerous spot will
be entirely eliminated. 1t Is with
out a doubt one Of the worst places
in the entire state, as far as auto
mobile traffic Is concerned. The
only wonder Is that more accidents
have not happened than have al
ready been reported. Middlesex
