Asparagus Should Be
Cooked Without Delay

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricultural -WNU Service.
Asparagus toughens and loses flavor
very rapidly if allowed to stand. It
should therefore be cooked as soon as
possible after it is cut. In cities, this
is not easy, but it is a good plan to
buy asparagus ON the same day it is
to be used, rather than a day or so
beforehand, as is often done with 9TH
er vegetables.
To prepare asparagus for cooking,
trim off any tough ends, brush care
fully, and scrape off the larger scales.
Wash so as to remove all sand and
particles of earth which may have
lodged under the scales. Fresh, ten
der, homegrown asparagus does not
need Scraping.
Cook in slightly sailed water, either
whole, or cut up in inch lengths. Very
young asparagus, cut up, may require
only five to ten minutes cooking; 20
or % minutes at most should be
enough. Season with salt, pepper, but
ter, and little cream, if you have it.
Let stand in warm place few min
utes, and then serve, either as it is or
on toast. Hollandaise or white sauce
may accompany the asparagus, or
mayonnaise or french dressing.
Cooked asparagus may be added to
soups, stews, or vegetable salad. It
may also be used in making scalloped
dishes crouuattpS fritterS vopatahla
loaf, or timbales. A very good combi-
nation is asparagus scalloped with
spaghetti. Asparagus with new diced
creamed potatoes is also excellent, or
asparagus with peas. Smaller amounts
of asparagus can be used for these
dishes than when the asparagus con-
stitutes the chief vegetable. An as
paragus omelet is delicious for lunch

Jackets Are Favorite Fashion

red and white coin-dotted shantung
dress in the picture becomes a smart
ensemble for the country club porch
by adding a little Haring jacket Of
Lyons-type velvet In bright red to
match the dots. The sleeve detail
which involves intricate scanning and
the unique tab-fastening at the front
which forms bow effect, contribute
in no little degree to the chic of this
handsome jacket.
Notwithstanding it's frivolous wayA
the little jacket is really a most eco
nomical proposition. With its advent
every dress is made to have a two
fold if not a threefold and ''then some"
mission. Hence it stands to reason
that a collection of jackets in the
summer wardrobe will pay big divi-
dends in that one frock may be made
to serve the purpose of many accord
ing to the way it is jacketed.
Some Of these little jackets which
fashion is highlighting so definitely
are made of satin, other of taffeta or
crepe and the medium which leads In
favor is velvet, either the transparent
weaves or Lyons type of medium

fun choosing the right colored jacket

The red-breasted grosbeak birds
wear black and white, with handsome
vests of rose color, and under their
wings they have the same decorations.
At least, this is the way Mr.. Gros-

They have some fine relations, too.

Allow Ample Space for
Moisture Among Trees

In planting currants and gooseber-
ries, it is quite common to find these
set over against the fence or grass
growing border of the garden. In
some few instances this plan is all
right; but where moisture is scarce
these plants should be set in rows
where they can be cultivated on both
sides. having a space of nearly 10 feet
between any plant and other crops.
If planting apple trees at the same
time-and setting these rows 30 feet
or more apart. as they should be to do
the best in later years-one row of
the small fruits may be planted mid
way between each two rows of apple
trees. These will have passed their
best years by the time that the apple
trees have reached size that requires
all the space between for drawing on
for moisture, so they may be dug out.

If you have a fancy-shaped ice
cream mold such as "melon" or
a brick, you may wish to serve an ex-
ira festive dessert some day. Molds
are often filled with two kinds of ice
cream, or with a fruit ice and ice
cream combined. A strawberry ice

makes particularly good combination
of flavors.
You might use either strawberry ice
cream made by the first recipe, or
strawberry mousse, made by the Sec

are furnished by the bureau of home
economics of the United States, De-

to have two flavors in the mold, it will
be necessary to freeze each separately
and then fill the mold and pack it in
ice and salt for several hours before
serving.
When both the ice and the straw
berry filling are ready, line the mold
with the lemon ice to a depth of about
one inch, then pack the ice cream into
the center as firmly as possible. Aft

Clean Seed Grain

Many growers in the spring wheat
region could cut costs of production
by cleaning seed before seeding, &C
cording to grain marketing specialists
of the United States Department of
Agriculture. Increased yields general
ly result when wild oats, mustard, pig
con grass, and other weeds are elimi-
mated from the seed grain. Cleaning
also removes many broken kernels of
grain, makes smut control more effec-
tive, and the cleaned seed flows more
evenly through the grain drills.
