Stachys (Tubfrwa)
This plant bclongs-te the Hedge Net
tle and the small tubers resembling In
texture the Jerusalem artichoke, and Is
cooked and served In same manner.
Railsh (Raphanus, Linn) Satlve Linn)
The two varieties of radishes for the
'table the round or knebbv radish nnd
the long carrot-shaped radish.
The radish In a nntlve of China.
where It is used or a vegetable and salad
r,Tnt
I The radish may .be prepared In the
lime manner as inc .icrusHieni nru

Turnips
The turnip belongs te the cabbage
hmlly. and two varieties are :
White turnip (UrnHnicn Knpa, Linn)
ind yellow turnip (Urntwlca cam
Mtrlc) the Russian and Swedish or
.rutabaga (yellow). The part used, both
the root and the top, ns for pet greens.
The turnip Is cooked by paring, cooking
until tender, drained and mashed as au
Satin, browned turnips, 'German
shlen scalloped, and as turnip balls,
The greens are used like spinach.
Carret (Daucua Te urn)
' The' carrot Is supposed te belong te
! Greece nnd is well known as a vegetable
and as a pet herb for seasoning soups,
Jtecks and meat dishes.
( Alse used In some parts of the British
Kingdom, particularly in Scotland, in
I number of ether dishes, ns in pud
dings cakes and sweetmeats. It Is
i'uukcu in me same manner ns turnips.
Onions (Al'llum)
This heading includes the many
species of the onion family, namely,
garlic, white onien: yellow onion; Span
ish onion, chive, Welsh onlep.
Used for flavoring icl seasoning nnd
also as n vegetable. Cooked In the
same manner as the Jerusalem arti
choke. Beet (Vulgaris Linn)
The pats of the. plant used are the
root nnd the tops for pet greens. Active
cultivation has produced many va
rieties df beets, and both the tnblc nnd
sugar variety held a prominent place in
the feedstuffs. "Varieties, the red and

until tender, then prepared ns follews:
In croquettes or cutlets with cream
sauce, scalloped nnd au gratln, fried
nnd mashed.
Parsnips (Oastlnaca Satlve, Linn)
The parsnip resembles the carrot in'
appearance and contains ns much sugar
as carrots. The parsnip contains a
liberal amount of cellulose and is n val
uable addition te the vegetable feeds.
Kehl Habl, Broccoli (Beleracca Linn)
The kohl rabl and the broccoli are
species of the cabbage family, while
the celerlc is a member of the celery
lamuy.
The alms In cooking the feeds he
longing te the root and tuber family
are: .
(a) Te render vegetables mere di
gestible by softening the cellulose and
cooking the stnrch grains.
(b) Te rctnin the minernl matter.
(c) Te improve the flavor.
Points te be considered In the cook
ing of the roots nnd tubers :
(a) Moist hent is nccessnrj te soften
the cellulose and cook the starch. This
mny be obtained by cooking In stenm
or liquid or by applying dry hent te the
outside if the vegetable Itself centnlns
sufficient wnter te furnish the neces
sary moisture. As for exnmple, baked
white or sweet potatoes.
(b) Much of the mineral mntter lies
very close te the skin, therefore the
largest amount of this feed constituent
Is conserved or retained In the n-getuble
cooked In the dry hent.
(c) If the vcgctnble Is te be pnred,

pi
Ne. 10 Needle Floats en Water
Te make a needle float en water Is
regarded ns impossible by most people,
but it is in reality n very simple matter.
Lay a cigarette paper en the water
and the needle en the paper. In a
little while, the paper wit sink, and
leave the needle floating there.
With a little practice, however, no
such preparations are needed. If the
needle is perfectly dry nnd is rubbed
between the fingers and thumb a few
times, it can be held a fraction of an
inch above the water, and dropped onto
the surface of the water, where It will
flent.

then it must be done with a sharp knife
nnd very thin paring removed.
(d) The mineral matter is soluble In
water, and for this reason the water
in which the vegetables are cooked
should be used for soups, stock or
gravies. The flavor of vegetables Is
both volatile and soluble and may be
retained by covering the vegetables at
once with boiling water,' and .then cov
ering closely in the pet te prevent es
cape of the steam, thus retaining a
goodly part of the liquid which usually
boils away if the vegetable be cooked
in an open' kettle.
Methods of Cooking the Reet and
, Tuber Family
(a) Baking is one of the most eco
nemical methods; but this method must
be adapted te vegetables that have an
outside coot te held the steam, and at
the same time cook the starch and
soften the cellulose.
(b) Casserole cooking Similar te
baling, the covered dish taking the
place of the skin en the vegetable.
(c) Beiling vegetables in their skin.
(d) Escalleplng. Suitable for vegeta
bles coekgd in the akin. A method of re
heating. The molsture is retained and
the crumbs en the top add additional
llnver. Frying left-ever vegetables;
really suitable for very few vegetables
for this rensen, thnt the intense heat
hnrdens the outer surface, nnd unless
the vegetable is cut very thin the feed
soaks up considerable fat.
Seasoning and Serving
Th ennlaMa. halnnvln tn th root
and tuber family are deficient in fat,
se that the usual seasoning will in
clude butter, salt and white pepper.
Laboratory Werk

Where Superiority
Is Conceded
We heartily endorse the campaign te
silence the slanderers of Philadelphia and te
proclaim the city's advantages.
One of Philadelphia's chief assets is her
ice cream.
Philadelphia Ice Cream is admittedly
superior. The fame of this city as the home
of the best ice cream extends almost as far
as the knowledge that here is the Cradle of
Liberty.
As manufacturers and distributors of a large per
centage df Philadelphia's tremendous annual output, we
feel qualified te speak for Philadelphia Ice Cream and
