"My family gets so tired of hav- ing left-over codked asparagus served in salad form," writes a read- er of this column, "Please tell mie how else I can serve it attractively." The following recipes will be found delicious: : Asparagus Eggs: Beat six eggs light, "adding to them one-half tea- spoon of salt ,one tablespoon of milk and one tablespoon of water. Turn this into a hot fry'ng pan contain- ing a teaspoon of butter and let cook for just a moment, stirring vigorous- ly, then add a cupful of cooked, diced asaparagus (the tips and the tender part. of stalks) and as soon as the eggs are firm but soft, serve the mix- ture on slices of hot, buttered toast. Cheese-Asparagus Baked Dish: Moisten one cup of soft breadcrumos with four tablespoons of melted butter. Now put into ea buttered baking dish a layer of these crumbs, then a layer of diced cooked aspara- gus and sprinkié generously with cheese; repeat these layers altern- ately ,topping the dish with buttered cracker crumbs. Pour one-half cup of sweet milk over all and cook for twenty minutes in a moderate oven. (utes.

They can feel an argument that touches their pocket, when they cannot be roused to take the slightest ingerest by appeals either the intellect or to the emotions. ough it is the lowest possible ground on which to base a plea for kindness to animals, we feel that it might be used to ad- vantage in securing better treatment for the dumb beasts who serve man so faithfully, asking ne reward. e recent disclosures regarding cruelty to animals, which have come not from one part of the country alone, but from many quarters, should call forth every effort to teach a better way. 'For much of the cruelty, prac- tised 'comes from a lack of under- standing, and, contrary to what a great many people believe, much of it comes from fear. 1If'boys the time they spend' in yelling at their forses, jerking them about. and otherwise maltreating them, in breaking them in properly, many & perfectly good hour would be' saved on the farm. A well-broken horse is a willing horse, as a general thing. He is full of spirit, without being vicious. He does the work required _ 'The same thing applies to cows. Think of the wasted hours and the brought about by the mishandling and Hi-treatment of the calf and the young , of the inferior curses and the human exhaustion | _ Asparagus Souffle: Make a white sauce by combining two tablespoons of butter ,two tablespoons of flour, a pinch of salt cnd one cup of sweet milk, as" follows: Melt butter in a small saucepan, rub: flour into It, add salt and, gradually, stir in tha! milk; let cook till thickened and smooth. Remove this sauce from the fire and stir_jnto it the yolks of five eggs well beaten; also add ons cup of diced cooked asparagus, then fold in the five egg-whites beaten to a stiff froth. Turn the mixture at once into. a buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven for about twenty minutes. Do not let stand long before serving. When done, the centre is firm and dry. Asparagus-Stuffed Tomatoes: This| is a pretty and tempting dish for a | guest dinner or supper. Cream left-| over cooked, diced asparagus in the | usual way (by adding to the as- | paragus a white sauce made of! flour, sweet milk, salt and butter made as just described above) then fill _hollowed-out ripe tomatoes witn this mixture, sprinkle tops of toma- toes with buttered crumbs, and bake on & pan in hot oven for fifteen min- Serve hot. Ordinarily a busy housekeeper cannot go to the trou- ble of stuffing tomatoes or preparing other dishes of this sort, which re- quire a good deal of time, but a guest meal justifies such "fussing."
