THE NEED OF COOKS.

We are and always have been a ma
ton of good Ieeders." From the very
beginning we have been accustomed to
a generous diet and a groaning table.
Some of the surviving accounts of
meals on special occasions eve in the
starving" days of the Pilgrims, and
almost always in the pioneer life of
| colonial days, are enough to make a
modern Thanksgiving dinner seem
like the pickings that kept Lazarus
alive. Bear meat, venison, moose steak
ducks, geese, wild turkeys, pork, opos-
sum and cartridges furnished a sup
ply of meats that even Dives could
hardly afford today; and there were
plenty of vegetables and corn meal
and rye. 1t was only in the domain of
fruits and the finer cereals that there
was any lack.
But in spite of the universal abun-
dance, probably, indeed, because of it,
we have not become a nation of good
cooks. The statement of course re-
quires some qualifications, for meats
and plain vegetables are usually well
cooked and some of our pastry is as
good as can be had anywhere in the
world; but we have never learned to
cook as the French do. who make such
uses of left-overs and cheap cuts of
meat and odds and ends that they seem
to be favors rather than makeshifts.
Now that we are at war there is no
art or field of service that American
women car serve their country to bet
ter advantage than in cookery.
1t is not necessary to invent new
dishes or new names for old ones.
Corned beef hash may be a poorly
bonded concrete of meat, potatoes
and grease, but the late Mark Hanna
used to invite statesmen and diplomats
to his house for a breakfast of corned
beef hash, and send them away filled
as if with the ambrosia OF the gods.
Beef smothered in onions can be so
sublimated that it will appear rather
as a tenderloin overwhelmed with soft
endearments. 1t all depends on the
cook.
We need to save, and there is no bet
ter way to save than to utilize what
we have been accustomed to waste.
The tops a ndthe parings of many
vegetables, bones and the trimmings
from meat, the inedible parts of celery
and cabbage, are the very foundation
of the finest soup stocks and gravies,
and the head of a lrge Goldfish mixes a
better chowder than the best cut Of
cod steak. Cucumbers too old to Sc e
raw are as good as eggplant when
cooked in the same way, and a green
cucumber fried, is a dainty that an cpl
cure will relish. A basket of clans
viii yield, besides the solid portion of
the CLANS themselves, a dozen cuDfuls
twenty-five cents Lice a- gps.
dalton for a clam bisque thai q H1ld'
cost thirty cents a portion.
1t all depends upon the cook, fand
cooking is both a science and an art-a
science to produce the most nutritious
dishes at the smallest cost; an art to
make them tempting to the appetite
The most ambitious woman need not re-
gard the field as too small, for the
ablest will never exhaust its POSSIBLE
ities-Youth's Companion.

given in earthen crooks, holding about
n gallon each. Add about one-third
teaspoonful of potassium permangate
to each gallon jar of water. They
should be fed in the morning a wet
mash consisting of equal parts of
shorts, beef scrap, and two parts of
corn meal. This should be wet with
buttermilk or clabbermilk. The sick
chickens should be given all they will
eat up clean in about ten minutes. The
rest of the food should be taken up and
fed to the hogs-by no means to the
well birds of the flock. At noon the
sick birds should have a light feed,
about one handful to every six pullets.
At night they should be fed scrap
feed again, about one handful to each
two birds.
Any birds that are in bad shape will
require special attention.
