are attractive in appearance and stimu- 

 late an appetite for the more substantial 

 foods, and also because in this shape 

 we retain all their mineral constituents 

 which are liable to be partly lost in 

 cooking. The vegetables most com- 

 monly used uncooked for salads are as 

 follows: Lettuce, cabbage, celery, water 

 cress, onions, cucumbers, radishes, car- 

 rots, kohl-rabi, endive, chicory, sorrel, 

 pepper grass and nasturtium seeds. 



Delicious salads may be prepared 

 from portions of vegetables that are 

 frequently wasted in cooking. If the 

 outer leaves of cabbage are used in a 

 salad bowl, any adhering may be 

 washed off and the leaves used in a 

 scalloped dish or soup. The coarser 

 stalks, white leaves and roots of celery 

 should be used in soup stock, or the 

 leaves may be dried and used for flav- 

 oring when celery is out of season. 

 Green onion tops are good for flavoring 

 soups, or may be cut into inch lengths, 

 cooked and served with toast. These 

 vegetables must always be thoroughly 

 washed. The practice of cutting across 

 the head of lettuce or celery should be 

 discouraged, because it is practically 

 impossible to cleanse the axis of the 

 lower leaves. All such plants should be 

 separated in their natural divisions and 

 carefully washed through several wat- 

 ers. In preparing more than one head 

 of lettuce at a time, sort out the coarser 

 portions to be used in soup or greens. 

 The next best parts may not be attrac- 

 tive enough to serve plain and should 

 be shredded for combination with other 

 material, while the heart of the lettuce 

 may be served in the simplest way. 

 Part of the lettuce may be put in a tin 

 pail with a tight cover, or be wrapped 

 in a piece of cloth, or be put in a paper 

 bag, and will keep crisp until the next 

 day. Greens should be cooked in salted 

 boiling water ten minutes. Blanch in 

 cold water two minutes, drain, chop 

 lightly, and heat in stewpan with but- 

 ter, salt and pepper. Serve with lemon 

 juice or vinegar. — Sarah L. Lewis, As- 

 sistant Professor of Dcmestic Science,

Housewives are fast learning that 

 only apples allowed to ripen on the

Raw Vegetables Healthful 



The various fresh vegetables which 

 may be eaten raw or served as salads 

 are always welcome in season. It is, 

 however, dilTicult to classify plants ac- 

 cording to their uses, because so many 

 are served either raw or cooked. Gen- 

 erally speaking, salad plants may be 

 classified as tliose whose leaves and 

 stems are usually eaten raw with a sour 

 dressing, and a salad is a dish consist- 

 ing wholly or in part of raw or cooked 

 vegetables served with a sour dressing 

 which contains fat in some form. Raw 

 green foods are valuable because they 



ORCHARD YARN 



Listen, Orchardists: Now is the time 

 to tie your fruit trees. All limbs can be 

 readily seen; the spurs are less easily 

 broken off than later; the saving of time 

 is considerable and yam is probably as 

 cheap as it will be this season. Orchard 

 Yarn is the correct method of supporting 

 trees and the saving of a few trees is 

 worth the cost of the yam for an entire 

 orchard.
