If canned for more than a year, they will have lost much of tJleir goodness and flavour. There is, un- fortunately, no way in which the purchaser can tell the time the food has been in its tin. Shops with a large trade, however, seldom have stock from the previous year. How TO BOIL MILre. I Unless you watch milk. it is almost sure J one day to steal a march on you and boil j over.

Should the stains be of long methcwl will not be duration, however, this method will net be effective.

POTATO CAKES AND PATTIES.-fake equal quantities of mashed potato, boiled lentils or beans (if beans, soak over night). Beat to a froth with a fork while the ingredients are hot. When cold form into small cakes and fry with a little fat, butter or drip- ping. Eoll the cakes in flour before frying. COLD FISH SALAD.-rake some cold boiled or steamed fish, shred it, and place in a salad bowl a layer of cold, cooked, sliced potato, some cold, cooked butter beans, and a border of sliced beetroot. Pile up the shredded full in the centre, cover with mayonnaise sauce, scatter the sieved yolk of a hard boiled egg over, or a little very finely minced parsley. If prawns or shrimps are available, they are a delicious addition to the fish. Excellent mayonnaise sauce may be made without oil. If the iisii is boiled, which is not advised, the water in which it is cooked should be used for stock. LIVER DUMPLING.— Mix in a basin two tablespoonfuls of oatmeal, two tablespoon- fuls of breadcrumbs, one tablespoonful of flour, and two small onions chopped finely. Take haif-a-pound of liver, which must be boiled and g^e.'oed; add thi.s with one table- spoonful of suet, well chopped, to other ingredients. Beaton with pepper and salt, add some of the liver, and turn into a greased bowl. Cover with greased paper, and boil for four hours. t MASKED POTATOES AXD ONIONS.—Wash and peel the potatoes, peel the onions, and boil in separate pans. The onions will take longer to boil than the potatoes. When cooked, 6train and mash, first separately, then both together; add a little boiling milk, a little margarine, pepper and isalt. Put the preparation in a greased pie-dish, j ..seeri) the top with a fork, and. put into the oven to brown.
