TO COOK VEGETABLES.

In the preparation of vegetables for
the table, there are certain rules that
every cook should know. One OF the
first of these is that no vegetable that
grows under the ground should be
sailed until it is thoroughly cooked.
These vegetables are a part of the
root of the plant that produces. them
and are by nature woody Salt tough
ems them as they cook. They should
be sailed after they are entirely done.
On the other hand, vegetables that
grow above the ground should be boil
ed in sailed water The salt helps to
preserve their color and makes them
tender.
Vegetables that are to be boiled
should be started in boiling water
You can apply to them the same rule
that holds good for meat in this re-
gard If the food to be boiled is to be
eaten for itself, and the water posi-
bly, thrown away, it must be started
in boiling water Buff if the juice
is to be extracted and the water in
which it is boiled is to furnish the
dish you are making, then it should be
started in cold water, since the slowly
increasing heat draws out the juice
