STAIR CARPETS. = 70 prevent the

Of the stair and wearing off, pads
are used. These are made of a
low grade of cotton, covered with the
cheapest muslin. A quilt or comfort
that has seen service will answer the
purpose OF stair pads. In addition to
increasing the lease of usefulness of the
carpet, the pads prevent noisy clatter-
ing OF feet, and III case the baby should
fall down stairs the injury received
would be materially lessened. When
first laid down, the carpet should be
several inches longer than is needed,
that 1T may be disposed after each shak-

broom IS the best for sweeping stair

PREPARED LARD.-As soon as it is cut
of from the newly killed pork, put the
tat into crock, or deep earthen pot.
Cover the crock with its own lid, and
let 1t stand all night in a cool place.
Next day cut 1t into small bits carefully
removing allthe heshy particles of lean);
and then put the fat into a very clean
pot, without either water or salt. The
pot should not be more than half full of
pork fat. Let it boil slowly (stirring it
frequently from the bottom, lest it burn
till 1t becomes quite clear and transpar-
ent. Then ladle it into clean pans.
When almost cold, put it into stone
ware jars, which must be closely Gov
cred and kept in a cool place. IF if is
to go to distance, tie it up in new
bladders
There are two sorts of pork fat for
lard. The leaf-fat, which is the best;
and the fat that adheres TO the entrails
These two fats should be boiled sepa-
rately.
The large entrails, whose skins are to
be used for sausages, must be cleaned
out carefully, well scraped, and thrown
into strong salt and water for two days
Changing the brine the second day. and
afterward into strong I've for twenty
four hours. Lastly, was them in fresh
water. We think it much better to dis
pense with the skins altogether: keep
ing yonr sausage meat in jars, and fry
ing 1t In cakes when wanted for use.
Its own fat, as it eXudes, will cook it.
Never use bad butter when you can
obtain good lard, for frying and other
purposes. Leslje's Cook Book.
