RECIPES FOR SPRING GREENS

Of wide long leaves This is also an accom-
modating plant to grow, as the seeds can be
tucked in almost anywhere in the garden
along the edge of the walks fences or back
of the shrubbery. Once the seeds are sown
they care for themselves; although if you want
an extra early supply SOW the seeds by the
south side of the house or barn.
They are also very prolific, and after the
housewife cuts off the leaves from the plant
the roots will send up fresh supply and keep
you in fresh greens all summer. A small plot
three feet square probably will furnish all that
an average sized family will require.
Watercress may also be used as a salad;
but, unlike other greens mentioned, IL will
serve as an attractive garnish for many dishes.
1t is also delicious and appetizing for a sand
witch filling in place of the customary lettuce.
To dress watercress salad mix together a
teaspoonful of celery SALT saltspoonful OF
white pepper, a pinch of cayenne and one ia
blespoonful of lime juice. Then stir in grsdu-
ally four tablespoonfuls of olive oil and two
more of lime juice alternately. After blending
we'll add spoonful of chopped chives and an
equal amount Of fresh tarragon leaves.
When the tiny green onions appear in the
market, try cooking them as you would aspar-
agus Wash them well, tie in punches, drop
in boiling sailed water and cook for ten min
utes this period OF time is for very young,
fresh vegetables, about the size of lead pencis).
Drain, place on toast and pour over them a
hot cream sauce favored with little chopped
parsley. These will be found delicious and do
not retain the strong onion favor to which so
many persons object.
These same onions are also excellent TO use
in connection with almost all spring salads
and are especially recommended with fresh
tomatoes, cucumbers, etc
Lettuce, endive and romano are all good
salad greens. The two former may be cooked
in several attractive forms. The stalks Of en-
dive are cooked as asparagus, served with
Hollandase sauce, and the lettuce as the basis
OF cream of lettuce soup or boiled and chopped
like spinach and enriched with a pIquant
savory sauce.
Every housekeeper knows the value and
tonic properties Of salads, particularly during
the late spring and early summer, and salad
of some variety should appear at least once
daily in every we'll planned list OF menus.
Have these salads of the simplest deserip-
ton and mainly OF the greens themselves, al
though combination of two or three varieties
OF vegetables is permissible. Avoid, however,.
at this season the rich mayonnaise dresst.N
and substitute the piquant French variety In
dressing these simple and wholesome salads.

European women went in for farming and
gardening more keenly than American women
even before the war threw all the agricultu-
raj work on their shoulders. In 1913 attend
ed the Tenth international Agricultural Con
gress, held that year in Client. Although this
was primarily a mems congress, yet several
hundred women were present from France,
Germany the United States, England and the
English colonies. They followed the ex-
tremely technical discussions Of rural finance,
transportation, stock raising and agriculture
with the closest attention. Later visited the
Horticultural College at Swanley. Kent to
learn more about English and colonial pros
poets for women farmers.
At Swanley they told that there was an in
creasing demand for women gardeners. These
gardeners must be capable, well-trained and
reasonably strong with preference for out
door life, ready for hard work, willing TO go
out in all weather, and able to get on with few
holidays.

bread crumbs seasoning and soft butter. The
butter may be used freely in the case Of small
birds, as they have not the interlining OF fatty
grease that big birds have. This fact is demon
strated by the use of an old recipe for steep
ing quail in butter, the operation requiring
three pounds and half of butter for dozen
quail. The birds, when done, drained and
served are the most delicious eating that can
be imagined. The butter, strained and clari-
fed, may be used again for other cooking pur-
poses, so the recipe is not as extravaganza as
it sounds But, unfortunately, as nearly all
the game birds in our markets are imported
from England, we do not have the oppor-
tunity of using the quail recipe as often as
we would like.
All the rest OF the chickens, as well as the
popular guinea fowls, are cold storage birds
this month. While they are good and even
wholesome, they lack the favor of the freshly
killed birds in season. When these birds thaw
out in the oven during the cooking their
flesh says and never holds up naturally after
it is cooked.
There is no positive rule for telling cold
storage bird, and one must trust to the honesty
of the dealer cold storage bird should be
cooked Immediately it is purchased, for one
cannot afford to take chances with them.

The dressings for large birds may follow
any OF the usual recipes; the sage and onion
dressing being standard while the chestnut,
oyster and other fancy dressings depend upon
the season. The mashed potato dressing is
Pennsylvania favorite, but is rather heavy for
anything but the Christmas goose, and if it is
not made in just the right way is soggy and

By VIRGINIA CARTER LEE.

WYE ARE all acquainted with that tired
w feeling that comes with the first
sultry spring days, when we crave
something cold, crisp and green to eat. This
is natural for in the first green vegetables
although the nutritive value is small, there is
tonic quality both invigorating and healthfu
Of all the greens perhaps spinach is the
most healthful The English appreciate this
fact more than we do, as one of the most ia
nous physicians has declared that 1T is the
broom of the stomach" 1t should be eaten
at least twice week during the months when
1t is plentiful and not costly, and once week
even when out of season.
It's value can only be obtained by proper
cooking in a very small quantity OF water
and in an uncovered kettle for about twenty
minutes It will then be in color beautiful
green. Be sure, however, that the water is
actively boiling before placing the greens in
it, as this is a prime requisite not only in
cooking spinach but all other spring greens,
such as dandelions, beet tops, etc.
Early home grown vegetables are scarce in
our Northern climate and those from the
South are often too high-priced for the mod
est pocketbook. Dandeon greens, however,
are delicious, healthful and inexpensive They
contain the valuable properties of potash and
salts and grow freely in our fields and often
where not wanted-on our lawns. They are
now cultivated like any other garden vege-
table In cooking the water should be changed
once and a tiny pinch of baking soda added
to the first water TO eliminate possible bitter
taste that they sometimes have. They are
very quickly cooked, requiring only about ten
minutes active boiling.
Fresh dandelion leaves give delicious salad
as we'll After gathering the green's place
them in a large pan of cold water and wash
them thoroughly Then shake off all the
moisture and set in very cold place.
To prepare the salad lay the crisp, dried
leaves in a chilled salad bowl, cover with
chopped hard boiled egg and minced, peeled
radishes and dress with French dressing,
mixing it as in lettuce salad.
The cultivated dandelion is broad-leaved,
crisp and tender and when planted in the
home garden in rich soil yields an abundance

Father Dinsmore died. leaving a widow and
FIVE daughters. Lefty is the oldest. The
neighbors said that, OF course, the farm would
have to be sold, as there was no son to carry
it on Lefty said she was as good as boy.
That fall she entered the State Agricultural
College to learn how to carry that farm
and take care of the family.
The first months it took courage to remain.
She was the only girl, and the boys thought
she was a joke. After the mid-year examina
tons they looked at her soberly. She had led
the class. At the end of the year they were
used to her. The second year they liked her.
Now they boast of her.

is couscientiously guarded from the faint of

botany. But she found that she was more in
terested in making flowers grow than in learn
ing their pedigrees. She hung about the col
lege hothouses until she was almost a nui-
sance. While she dissected dead flowers under
erudite professors she learned about live ones
from the gardener. Now she lives by raising
violets for florists instead OF teaching roots

proves that one can learn if one wants to
