Boiled Peas and Beans.

My mother used to soak peas over night f (otherwise it takes all day to boil them). In the morning wash them and put in a kettle with twice as much water as peas, a piece of salt pork, let boil steadily, but be sure to watch them, as the water boils away vpry soon. Add more, as you must keep them very moist. Salt and pepper to taste. They are very tasty, we think, and then again mother used to soak over night and in the morning wash and put in bean pot. Boil a little first to soften them, with a piece of pork (mixed), pepper and salt, and bake like beans, and they are fine. We often on Wednesdays boil some beans the same as peas, and they taste fine. Hope you will try and like them. —■ Mary Clare, in Boston Globe.
