The titme for cooking varies according to its age and freshness, from ten min- utes to a half hour being about the usual time. One or . two tablespoonfuls dr vinegar .are sometimes put in thq. water, which helps to retain the green color or the vegetable. In preparing asparagus for cooking great care „should be taken to use only the top and that part of the stalk which breaks easily, in order that there may be no rough portions in the dish when it reaches the table. (The tough portions may be used to flavor soups.) Some people advise boiling for some dine such pieces of the stalks as are used before putting in the softer tops. It may help some Wily homemaker, wbo hati fallen into a routine of cook- ing ceelain thinge in just one way, to paste these recipes of mine in her cook book: CREAMED ASPARAGUS—Take the heads only, of the asparagus, as 11111011 as required., and put them into boiling; water, with a little salt. 13011 about 15 minutes. 'Meanwhile prepare some square bits ef bread, without the crust, by scraping out the centre or each Viece, putting in a bit or butter and frying or baking until thebread tarns a yellow or a light brown. After draining the asparagus, J place it in the holes in the toasted bread, taking care to keep all hot; then take half a pint of cream and hent to boiling point, to which add the yeas of four eggs, and. stir until thick, Take' ft .off the fire and add a little sprinkling of salt aud PePper. Pour over the .aspar- agus and bread and serve hot. PAIN ASPARAGtTS—Many people prefer asparagus served plain. For this it is only necessary to put the heads and softer parts or the stalks either the whole or cut Into Inch pieces, into boiling water, in which salt has been dissolved. �11 until previously stated -id serve soft, as uttei•, ASPARAGUS (ITALIAN FASHION) —Break some asparagus into pieces; boil soft and drain the water, take a little oil, water and vinegar, and let, it boil, then season with .pepper an salt. Pour in the asparagus, and thick- en with the whites or eggs. Green. peas, cooked as above, are also very good; but lettuce, cut small, may be addedand two or three onions aecording to taste, omitting the eggs. A sauce which the clever cook may nee in many other ways, as well as in serving asparagus, is made ae fol- lows: Rub 4 ounces of butter to a cream in a saucepan or bowl. Add 4 yolks of eggs and beat well together; then add 1 teaspoonful of salt and juice of half a lemon, a pino ha Cay- enne and 1 cupful of hot water mixed' in by degrees, Mix well and put in bainenaire (or set saucepan in pot of boiling water.) Stir until the sauce beegetes of the eonsisteney Of thick creani, bang careful not to let it boll. Take off the fire and eontinue to stir for some minutes. "Olandese" sauce ought to be quite smooth and creamy. ASPARAGUS ON TOAST—Cut off the bottom of the stalks of a bunch of asparagus to make them even, and put itt a pan of cold water till near dinner time. Put the bunch 'in boiling water, in which a pinch of soda has been. dissolved. Boil a 'quarter of an hour, then drain and serve on butter- ed toast, placing the white ends of the asparagus on the toast. Pour one tablespoonful of melted butter over the green heads in the dish. ASPARAGIIS AND EGGS—Cut cold boiled asparagus into small pieces. Put into a buttered baking dish seas- on. well and drop eggs over the top %mahout beathrg. Bake till the eggs are cooked. . 7 Our TURNIP SEEDS have made the name Steele, Briggs a household word in Canada. Here is a selection of Swede Thrnips that possess no rivals.
