TO MAKE WITH cHEsrNUTs
Variety of Good Things That Will Be
Appreciated by Those Fond of
the Edible.

Chestnuts are liked by almost every.
body, although they are sometimes
found indigestible. II they are boiled,
they are easily digested. This is a
good way to boil them: Cut each
chestnut with cross on the stem end.
and tie them in a piece of cheesecloth
or put them in cheesecloth bag. Boil
them until tender in sailed water.
Then serve them with butter and salt.

deliberately.
Chestnut custard is a delicious des-
sert, and can be made either from
roast or boiled chestnuts. Remove
the shells and skins from the cooked
chestnuts-a pound and a half of

full OF powdered sugar and half a cup
full OF cream, whipped stiff. Then fold
in lightly the whites of the eggs, beat.
en- stiff, and heat in a double boiler
until 1t thickens. Do not boil. Chill
thoroughly before serving.
For chestnut salad. boil 20 chest
nuts. as directed above, and drop into
cold water to harden. Then peel and
cut into pieces the size of the chest
nut quarters. Serve with French
dressing on crisp leaves of lettuce.

cooked chestnuts rubbed through a
sieve. Thicker six tablespoonfuls of
hot milk with four level tablespoon
fuls of flour rubbed smooth with two

USE BRUSH IN THE KITCHEN
vegetables Cleaned With That Innple-
ment May Be Served With AS
surance OF Perfect Safety.

One of the best ways to wash yege-
tables is to provide yourself with a
stout little brush, which should be
Kept In a convenient place by the
sink. With this you will find the
work OF washing the vegetables will
De made great deal easier. Then
there is something that concerns
house brushes of all kinds. When
they are in need of cleaning, put tepid
water into pan, sufficient in quantity
to cover the bristles of the brush. but
not to reach the backs, which perhaps
would be injured by the water. Add
to the water three tablespoonfuls of
ammonia for each quart of water, then
put the brushes in to soak for ten
minutes. Rinse them well in cold wa
Ter and set them to dry, with bristles
downward. In washing hair brushes,
De careful not to use soap. Instead.
dissolve piece of soap in warm wa
ter and allow the bristles of the brush
70 stand in the water. The bristles
VIII become white and clean. When
allowed to- dry you will find that the
Drlstles will be just as stiff and firm
as ever they were and the backs of
the brushes wiz not have been hurt
by soap getting down into the places
where the bristles are set into the
packs. An old tooth brush is pretty
good thing to save. 1t may often be
found very useful in the kitchen
around cleanup times, in getting into
little inches where ordinary brush
or cloth would not reach.

CASSEROLE A GOOD FRIEND
Especially Valuable in Its Usefulness
In the Making Over Of Joints Of
Preceding Days.

When the making over of cold
meats into warm dishes is in question
consider the casserole. BY it's use
even the smallest scraps of meat, veg
etables, sauces and gravies can be
used up. Not spoonful of anything
edible need go to waste.
When the Sunday joint of roast beef
has been served hot and then cold,
make delicious lunch or supper of
the remains If there is insufficient for
a dinner. In the bottom of the casse-
role put sliced potatoes, carrot and
couple of onions, small, chopped, and,
II on hand, few mushrooms. Over
this pour the gravy left from the meat,
or, II this has been thrown away, add
water seasoned with pepper and salt.
Put on the cover and bake in a slow
oven for an hour Half an hour be-
fore serving lay the cold meat on ton
or the vegetables, replace the cover,
and continue the baking.
Cold roast of lamb will prove a very
tasty dish cooked in a casserole wit
peas. The peas placed in layers i
the casserole alternately with slice
of the lamb. The liquor in which tn
peas were boiled is thickened an
poured over, the casserole being set i
the oven until the meat has heate
through. Served with mashed pots
toes, an appetizing meal is the RI
suit. When cold peas ar other vegt
tables are on hand white sauce ca
be poured over, or any gravy that ma
be available. The liquor from tn
peas is not absolutely necessar,
though it adds to the nutriment of tn
dish.

SPRING OR FALL PLANTING
Matter of Moment Over Which Ex-
perts Have Disagreed for
Great Many Years.

Among horticulturists in Illinois
there is keen dispute as to whether
spring or fall planting of fruit trees
is better. The preponderance of tes-
timony is in favor of spring planting.
But, for all of that, some of the fall
planted trees succeed well; and often
it is much more convenient to plant in
the fall than in the spring. 1t is the
belief of the writer that a person
sending to nursery in the early fall
for a certain tree is more likely 10
get that tree than in the spring, be-
cause the variety desired is more like
ly not to have been all sold out The
'sF ~ atagf of fall planting is that
the roots are covered by loose dir
and the roots freeze harder than the
would in the ground from which the
are dug. Fall planted fruit tree
should have the dirt heaped quite higl
above the roots, and, after the groun
is partly frozen, some litter should b
scattered about the roots of the tire
and tramped down hard to keep mic
from working in it and gnawing bar
of the young tree. Horse manure
