HAS DISTINCT FLAVOR
cAuLIFLowER ONE OF THE BEST
OF VEGETABLES.
Careful Preparation Needed to Bring
Out lite Really Fine Qualities In
Some Dishes That Have Indorse-
ment Of Experts.

Caulifower has a distinctive flavor,
suggesting cabbage somewhat, but
more delicate. Whatever the method
of preparing II for the table. care
should be taken to preserve and de-
velop its flavor and to keep the creamy
white color which Is so attractive.
This means that It must be cooked
just long enough to insure tenderness
and no longer II overlooked, the
white portion turns dark and the flavor
becomes strong and finally rank. Some
persons insist that overlooked cauli-
flower and overlooked cabbage may be
the cause Of digestive disturbance
-h..ch e rot noticed when these vege-
tables are properly cooked
The following recipes are worth try
ing:
Boiled caullflower With Drawn But
ter.-Place the cauliflower, head up,
in boiling water to which salt has been
added Zone teaspoonful to a quart of
water) and cook until just tender,
which should require for a medium
sized cauliflower about one-half hour.
Then remove whole to a hot dish and
serve with melted butter. Sometimes
the head is wrapped in cheesecloth be-
fore being cooked to make sure that
the delicate fowerets are not broken
off, If the leaf stalks are cooked with
the head, serve in such a way that
each person receives portion of both
head and leaf.
Dreamed CauIlfiower.-The cauli-
flower cooked as above may be served
with a cream sauce, and the dish looks
particularly well when the head is left
whole and the sauce is poured over It.
II more convenient, however, 1t may
be broken up into small portions,
which should be arranged neatly in
the dish and then covered with the
sauce.
Cream Sauce.-This kind OF sauce
ESQ often served with vegetables)
should be made rather thick for cauli-
flower, as follows: One cupful milk,
two tabiespoonfuis butter, two table
spoonfuls flour, one-half teaspoonful
salt and one-fourth teaspoonful pepper.
Heat the milk over boiling water; beat
the butter and -four to a cream and
stir into the hot milk. Cook five min
utes, then add salt and pepper.
In this and the other dishes referred
to salt and pepper can be added as
desired.

Random" Drainage System.

used when large quantities of surface
water are to be removed or where
land and labor are cheap. The disad
Vantages OF open bitches include the
large amount of land they occupy
their interference with farming oper.
ations, and the high cost of keeping
the bitches clean and the banks free
from weeds. The drains usually give
more thorough drainage. They oc-
cupy no land surface and do not inter-
fere with farming operations. If prop
erly constructed they are practically
permanent and require almost no ex.
penditure for maintenance.
The farmer must decide the amount
Of money he can invest for drainage.
Usually 1t will be best to start with
that part of the farm where the profits
from drainage will be greatest and to
extend the system as more funds are
available. This plan of doing a part
at time has the advantage of per-
hitting the farmer to observe the re-
suits obtained and in the following
work to make any improvements that
may be found expedient in the plan.
It also permits the farmer to estimate
closely whether it will be profitable
to invest the money necessary for
completing the drainage system.
On rolling lands where only occa-
sional wet spots are to be drained the
random system Gig. u is commonly
used. On level lands needing arti-
fetal drainage uniform system Gigs.
and 81 must be planned that will
provide drains for the entire area. The
most economical arrangement of such
q system is one which permits the use
Of long laterals and requires the short
est total length of main drains.
No hard and fast rule can be given
for determining the sizes of tile to be
used. Drains should be large enough
to remove the surplus water before
the crops are injured, even after a
heavy rainfall in continued wet wealth
er. II is better to use sizes too large
than too small and no tile less than
four inches inside diameter should be
used. In the middle West the tend
ency is to use nothing smaller than
five-inch tile. The mains should be
large enough to take the flow from the
laterals. Actual practice has shown
that for the dark silt loans of nli-
nois and Iowa, where the average an.
nual rainfall is approximately SO
inches, S-inch tile having a fall of 2
inches in 100 feet viii provide outlet
drainage for 40 acres, finch tile for
30 acres, 9-inch tile for 20 acres, 5-inch |
tile for ten acres, and 4-inch tile for
six acres. On stiff soils with equal
rainfall the same sized outlets will |
