A TIP FOR THE COOK
Most gardeners, sooner or later, are faced with tho problem of what to do with a batch of lettuces which have prematurely gone to seed. Usually they are either fed to the fowls or relegated to tho rubbish heap. Both admirable ways of getting rid' of them, but there is a bettor—eook them. It is not nt all commonly known how good the leaves of lettuce are when cooked like spinach. They should stow very slowly, bnt personally I boil them in just sufficient water to prevent them catching, strain off in a colandar, press all the water out as far as possible and return to the saucepan in which they were boiled, add a nice piece of margarine and a little pepper and heat for a few minutes. Do not take any of the stalks.
