COOKING MEATS.— On tli's topic we shall continue to have much to say, so long as one half or more of all the meat used in the coun try is deprived of its nutriment by cooking it wrongly. Without stopping now to give the reason, we say that all frying of meats is bail —decidedly had. So of potatoes and other articles fried in fat. These substances are in digestible, and worse than innutritions. Broil ing, roasting and baking, if not carried too far are perhaps the best modes of cooking fresh meats of all kinds, and most kinds of fish.— The difference in the taste, digestibility and nutritive value of a piece of beef-steak quickly broiled over a lively lied of coals, and the same fried in fat, can hardly he appreciated by those who have only practiced the frying mode, and this includes three-fourths of all the families in the country. If some of one of our female contribaters will give us a chapter of full de tails 011 broiling meats we shall he glad to publish it, otherwise we will try our hand at it, for there is much to be said on this topic. Reader, do you spoil fish by frying it in lard, or preserve its flavor and sweetness by cook iug it on the grid iron ? BOILING COKNED BEEF.— This is a staple food iu a majority of families during several months every year, and in most eases the cook ing may be greatly improved. The two chief errors are, first in not cooking it long enough, and second, iu losing a iarge proportion of its real nutriment. We always prefer it pre pared as follows : Soak in warm, not hot wa ter just long enough to take out all excess of salt. Then cover it so that the steam will condense upon the under side of the cover and fall back. This will prevent boiling away and also the loss of much of the nutriment which iu an open vessel goes off with the steam.— Boil the meat several hours or until it is so thoroughly done that it will not hold together to he lifted with a fork. If there lie any bones take them out, since if cooked enough the meat will cleave from them readily. Pack the meat by itself in a deep dish, mix will to gether the fat and lean portions. Next skon trie fat and boil the liquid down so that when poured over the meat it will just fill the spa ces between the pieces. Then lay over whole a flat rover which will fit into the dish, put on a dozen to twenty pound weight and let it stand until cold. Several fiat-irons or a large stone will answer for the weight, or if not con venient it may be set under a < heese press.— Prepared in this way, the poorest piece of tough corned beef will be made tender and juicy. Boiling down and using the liquid, saves the most nutritious portion which is usu ally thrown away. The gelatine of the con densed gravy, when cold forms a solid mass with the raeut, which may then be cut into sli ces for serving upon the table. If the fat and lean portions be mixed, when cut up cold the pieces will present a beautiful marbled ap pearance. Corned beef prepared in this way wiil not only be eaten with a superior relish, but it will not, oil account of its toughness, be swallowed half masticated to produce irritation in the stomach, and yield only a portion of its substance nutriment. Over the common pro cess, there is only the extra trouble of the ad ditional boiling and pressing, which are amply repaid by the saving of nutriment,while a cheap er quality of beef will be rendered wholesome and profitable. Try this mode and you will not willingly go back to the hard boiled " in evitable salt junk." Mutton cooked in the above manner is very nice. PRYING PIMPKINS AND TOMATOES.— As fruit is scarce in many parts of the country, every house wife should lay in a (rood stock of dried pumpkins and tomatoes. Pumpkins may be put up in the old fashioned mode of cutting in to rings, paring aud drying upon poles ; or they may be cut into small pieces, and dried 011 plates iu the sun or ovcu. A better plan, however, is to pare, stew and strain them, just as if for pies ; then spread the pulp thinly up on earthen dishes, and dry quickly in a hot sun or partially heated oven. If dried slowly there is a danger of souring. Store iu a dry room. Kept in this manner they retain much of the freshness aud flavor of newly gathered fruit. The dried pulp should be soaked in milk for a few hours before using. In mak ing pies they are greatly improved by stirring the pumpkin into scalding milk, especially if eggs be not used. Tomatoes mav be kept in excellent condition by cooking, straining and drying just as described for pumpkins. PICKLING CABBAGE.— We have used an ex cellent pickled cabbage, kept in perfect condi tion for half a year at a time, which was pre pared thus : Slice the head- very finely. A head of red cabbage mixed with half a dozen white ones giving the whole a pretty c olor.— Sprinkle ou and mix in a little salt. S'aid to gether, say one gallon of good cider vine gar, two or three tablespooufuls of sugar, one tablcspoonful of cloves, one of ground cinnamon and a tablespoonful or less of ground black pepper. Toe cloves, cinnamon and pepper should be put into a bag while scalding.— When cold pour the pickle over the cabbage, and also drop in the,bag of spices. Keep the whole well covered, putting a plate over the cabbage to hold it down in the pickle. SALTING DOWN LIMA BEANS. —A correspon dent says that Linn Beans may be preserved a long time by gathering the pods when they begin to turn yellow, and packing them iu kegs with alternate layers of salt. We imag ine they would not bo very good after this salt ing process. Perhaps the salt would not strike through the pods to injure the beans themselves. We have always kept them, by picking as soon as they can be shelled, and drying before fully ripe. ITEM.— " A soldier's funeral is a solemn thing,'' said sweet Uncle Elijah, to the boys and girls at his house one night. " It's a solemn thing," he said " to bo buried under arm 4" " 1 don't think so," said Sarah .Line Podg. ers. " I think it would be real nice to be bu. ried that way." " No doubt of it,'' replied Sweet Uncle Eli" jab, and then Sarah Jane struck Sweet Uncle Elijah with her knittiu' work, and told him lie was " real hateful." This happened out on the " Preserve." 6r A Mr N was about completing the sale of a horse which he was very anxious to dispose of, when a little urchin appeared who iuuocently inquired, " Grandpa, which hoss you goin' to sell, Mat one you build a fire un dci to make him d-r-a w!'
