WHY THE GLASS DOES Nor CRACK
When boiling water is poured suddenly
into q glass jar the glass will crack if
there is nothing to carry off the heat
from the glass, because then the glass
retains the heat, and the expansion
breaks it. If a metal spoon is in the
glass, or the jar is placed on wet,
folded towel, these absorb and carry off
the surplus heat and save the glass. g.,
ITALIAN Pork CHEESE (SUPPER
lean pork with one pound inside at;
strew over and mix thoroughly with
them three teaspoonfuls of salt, nearly
half as much pepper, half teaspoonful
of mixed parsley, thyme, and sage (and
sweet basil, if it can be procured), all
mixed, extremely small. Press the meat
closely and evenly into shallow tin,
and bake it in a very gentle oven from an
hour to an hour and half. It is served
cold, in slices. Should the proportion
of fat be considered too much, it can be
diminished on a second trial. .as-- -,-.-,
AMATEUR sheep growers are not well
aware that the wool of sheep grows most
rapidly In cold weather, and that any
check in the quality and amount of feed
at this time Injuries the quality of wool.
When sheep are well fed in the winter
the wool starts to grow, but should anv
starving take place. the wool fiber would
have a weak place in it, and render it
entirely unit for combing wool, which
brings such good price in our markets.
1t could only be used where poor grades
of wool are used, as in coarse blankets
and carpets. - - 1,sa =. - =.
