BEANS WITH BEEF. Beans to be boiled with beef should bo put into a kettle of cold water with a quarter teaspoonful of baking soda. They should be brought to a good boiling temperature and be kept boiling briskly all the while they are cooking. Boil, or rather, parboil them until the skin cracVa and rolls back when the br?>th is blown over a few held In a teaspoon. Be sure to have a teakettle full of lulling water to fill up with as the water brils away. The meat, beef or pctrk, should be put into n separate kgttle and cook Just enough so that it will have plenty of time to finish cooking and become e.nder after being put with the beuns after they have been drained. Case must be taken that the beans do not cuak too long in the first water for if they do they will cook to pieces before the meat is quite done. Beana cooked this way for a change ar# quite agreeable?the pork being too rich to have as ohen as deeirabl# even in winter. Remember though, af ter beans start tio cook tney anouiu be brought to a good boil as speedily as possible and keep them boiling. Right, here lies the secret of cooking beans soft. If cold water poured over them or they are allowed bo stop boiling they will invariably lie hard no matter how luug they are cooked. Season well with valt and pepper . soon after the meat and beans are put into the same kettle; when dona, serve hot.?V. Leah Relieving. SALT FOR CHOIJERA.
