food especially for brain workers and should be prepared in an 

 attractive manner which appeals to the eye. 



Cheese should be combined with food that can be cooked at 

 a low temperature. Meat contains all the necessary elements 

 of food. Marcaroni should be used more freely. Throw into 

 boiling - water, cook until tender, then combined with cheese, 

 milk or bread, with a small quantity of soda added. Bread 

 should be made in small loaves thoroughly cooked to destroy 

 the yeast germs. 



Children should be taught to chew their food well and to eat 

 the crusts; give them cream or buttter with their bread. 



Men and women are beginning to realize that hygienic cook- 

 ery is one of the most important questions of the day and are 

 studying to find what is the best food for family use. Ques- 

 tions in regard to eggs and their use brought out a palatable 

 dish as follows : Two eggs, yolks and whites beaten separ- 

 ately, two table spoonsful of water added to yolks, whites 

 folded in, salt and pepper, set in oven to cook, pour over one- 

 fourth cup of white sauce and one cup of peas. 



Mrs. Sarah J. R. Whitman Brattleboro, read a paper upon 

 Housekeeping as a Profession. She said skill was absolutely 

 necessary for the household and that the kitchen work 

 should be exalted to its proper position. Girls especially 

 should receive careful training for this purpose. 



Mrs. Jennie Bronson of Hardwick read a paper upon Our 

 Boys and Girls. She said that parents should realize that 

 heart culture was just as necessary as head culture, therefore 

 moral teachers are a necessity. The parents should be 

 friends of the teacher and their own children. The training 

 given by society should be carefully considered before the 

 child leaves home very much. 



The following were elected for officers: 



President. Mrs. Mary A. Clark, Williston. 



Vice-President, Mrs. Bessie H. Strong, North Pomfret. 



Secretary. Mrs. Alvira A. C. Ware, Brattleboro. 



A vote of thanks was extended to Mrs. Mary A. Smith for 

 her efforts during the years she had been connected with the 

 auxiliary as an officer. It was voted to adjourn to meet again 

 at the same time and place of the Vermont Dairyman's Asso- 

 ciation.
