GOOD POTATOES.


Potatoes, ut this time Of year, ARE often
not very good. They are the ting end Of the
old potato crop. New POTATOES. still high
in price, are commodity that most Of us
cannot afford just now. And yet we dis
like the soggy, unpalatablc old potatoes
that are our daily portion.
Now the clever cook can convert these
old potatoes into really palatablc food.
They need little care in the cooking,
that is all.
For one thing, 4'when you bake them,
prick them first with n silver fork in half
= dozen places. Then rub them with n
little lard or oil. When they are done they
will be haky and the skin will be thin, not
stiff and hard as it would be If you did not
rub them with the oil.
And don't serve them plain boiled
very often. This method of cooking them
makes them watery, If they have q
tendency toward moistness. Instead,
after they are boiled, recook them in
some way cream them or scallop them or
brown them with the roast in the oven, or
broil them over the Goals or under the gas
fame until they have tempting brown
crust
Old potatoes. If properly prepared,
make excellent French fried potatoes, and
they also can be mashed palatably If care
is taken. They should, whenever they are
to bc rccooked after boiling, be boiled
with the greatest care. They should be
drained after boiling until tender, and
then, with few thicknesses Of cheese
cloth over them, they should be placed IN
tho warming oven or on the back Of the
stove where the moisture In them can
evaporate 20 that they may be flaky and
light. Then they can be mashed, or allow
ed 10 cool to prepare in some other re-
heated way.

MIR. Rooster was scared, very much
scared, and he started to run for home
when he happened to think TINT there

him.

''Well, if here isn't two of themf ex-

Reynard at the tottom OF the hole.
Mr. Dog. who had heard the noise,
came running and barking, but the farmer
told him he was too late: that MIR Rooster
had caught the foxes all by himself
'You did lot of jumping and barking,
said MIR. Rooster that afternoon " hen MIR.
Dog sat in his doorway looking very sad,

use rs hunters.
Mr. Dog snapped back that If those
foxes had not been IN hole there would be
no Rooster to tell the story, and that any
one could catch foxes when they tumbled
into a pit
But for all he said Mr.. Rooster was the
hero 0f the barnyard for many day, and
all the hens firmly believed that il was he,
and not Mr., Dog who protected them, for
Mr. Rooster never let . day go by that he
did not tell the story of his bravery, and
how he caught not only one but two foxes

MIR. Rooster spread out his wings in

hole, sprang at him, and down went Mr..
Rooster into the hole right on the head of
Rcddy Fox.
But he did not 20 alone, for Reynard, o
course, tumbled in also, knocking over
Reddy Fox, who was so surprised he
thought the sky had fallen.
Over rolled Reddy and over tumbled
