Rice is a very wholesome food and
should be found more often on the
table. The more you wash the rice
the whiter it will be when cooked.
Always stir with a fork, so as to have
the grains whole. Give extra care the
first few minutes.
Mutton and lamb are very nutritioi s,
but many object to the peculiar flavor.
Mutton and lamb should always be
wiped off with water in which there
is vinegar and
the outside skin
trimmed off of steak and chops, and
nothing could have a finer flavor when
treated in this way.
An excellent strawberry or rasp­
berry jam can be made without cook­
ing by taking equal parts of sugar and
berries. Put the berries through the
potato ricer or a collander and stir the
mixture once every hour for eight
hours. Put away in an unsealed jar.
This will keep.
A leg of mutton or lamb should be
cut deep at the knuckles and all
seasoning put in the cut— salt, pepper,
sage and onion if liked. Put in a hot
oven without any water and allow to
sear, then add water and baste fre­
quently. Lamb and mutton must not
be served rare. A fine dressing is
made by bruising some mint leaves in
vinegar.
An excellent coffee is made by al­
lowing a table spoon of coffee for each
cup. Pour over this enough cold water
to make the desired number of cups.
Let stand over night and in the morn­
ing boil two minutes. Take from the
fire and add a dash of cold water to
clear. This gives a wholesome drink
without extracting the caffeine, which
is injurious.

HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS
By a Forest Grove, progressive house-wife:
A delicious way to can strawberries
and raspberries is to look them over
carefully and pack the cans full of un­
washed berries, guiding the berries
with a spoon and fingers, so as to
leave no large spaces. Have boiling
on the stove a good thick syrup; place
the can on a thick plate and pour the
boiling syrup over the berries in the
can, until the can is entirely full, put
on the rubber and top and seal air
tight. Berries put up this way have
their natural color and flavor.
An economical and durable kitchen
floor covering can be made by taking
burlap and aftei stretching it tightly
on a floor, paint with venetion red and
oil. Three coats will make a firm, at­
tractive covering that will last a year,
and then give one coat of paint and it
will last indefinitely. Clean by wash­
ing with soap suds in which a spoon
of ammonia is added.
A tongue steak can be made very
palatable by scoring it with the edge
of a plate, then roll in flour and fry in
very hot suet.
When canning fruit, making pre­
serves or jelly, always have the sugar
hot, and you will not delay the cook­
ing when the sugar is added.
When fruit is inclined to rise to the
top of the can, it can be prevented by
laying the cans on the side and turn­
ing a few times during the first day.
Whenever flour, com starch or
cocoa is used in a recipe with sugar
and water or milk, always mix the
sugar thoroughly with the flour, corn­
starch or cocoa, and it will never be
lumpy when added to the milk.
Dried prunes are not to be classed
with the ordinary dishes when properly
prepared. They should be soaked
from 24 to 48 hours, then cooked
slowly 6 hours and the sugar added
just before taken from the fire.
