A SEAsoNABLE Misunderstanding Lard.-One
of the best HOusekeepers in the county of Phila-
delphia, has communicated to us the following re-
cipe for rendering lard. which was obtained from
Charleston, and " hich possesses many important
advantages over the common made. 1t is simply
to put in the kettle before the lard-say three
lints Of ley, made of hickory ashes, to a common
barrel kettle GENERALLY holding less than barrel
The advantages of his are, that the lard renders
easier, becomes much whiter, is sweeter and eCa
keep longer This method has been pursued fol
several years, with the highest satisfaction.
