Feeding Hogs for Fat or Lean.

The experiments conducted by Prof.
W. A. Henry, at the Wisconsin Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, last year, In
feeding hogs, have excited much inter-
est. The character of the growth was
found to be largely influenced by that of
the food. Regarding these experiments
Prof. Henry writes US: 81 am repeat
ing the experiment in different forms,
and have confrmatory evidence that the
composition of the body of the hog can
be very considerably affected by the kind
Of food given. DO not try to show IN
the american Agrmulturist that we can
produce carcasses fat and lean at will
for the table, because the notifications
by feeding have in reality a narrow
range. If we can modify the form
slightly in one generation by the way we
feed, it is natural to conclude that in a
few generations we can very materially
affect the form and constitution of an
animal by proper or improper feeding.
The hog being a greedy animal and
easily satisfied when enough food is sup
piled, has been greatly abused, especially
here at the West, in the great corn dis
trict. The sermon wish preached from
the text have given is one in breeding
rather than producing lean meat as
against fat for the table, though we GER
tainly can increase the lean by proper
feeding to degree worthy of considera-
tion, and its flavor is also capable of
being. improved. Witness the Irish and
Southern bacon in comparison with that
of Illinois. ."-Americaa Agriculturi,t.

To Make Tough Steak Tender.


When it is impossible to preserve the
beefstcak in edible condition until it be-
comes tender by natural means, pro; eed
as follows, allowing as long time as is
convenient for carrying out the method.
Let the steak be cut at least an inch
thick, because it will be more juicy and
full-favored than if cut thin, while it
will be possible to cook it as well-done,
if the proper care is exercised. Trim off
all the fat that is not likely to be eaten
with the steak, and have it used to make
drippings while it is still good. Use a
platter large enough to permit the steak
to lay perfectly fiat, pour upon it enough
vinegar TO cover the bottom, a2d at least
four tablespoonfuls of absolutely sweet
salad oil for three-pound steak; but do
not salt it. (The application of salt to
the cut surface of uncookcd meat has q
tendency to draw out its juices, thus
depriving it of flavor and nutriment.)
If the steak is to beaused for dinner,
put it in the oil and vinegar early in the
morning, and turn it Ger every
hour, Keeping it in cool place, pro-
tccted from flies. If it is intended
for breakfast, put it in the dish so pre-
pared about supper-time and allow it to
remain untouched until bedtime; then
turn it and let it stand until morning.
The action of the vinegar upon the meat
will tend to soften and relax the tibers,
thus making the meat tender, while the
oil will prevent the surface from becom-
ing dry and hard. No other fat can so
we'll accomplish this result, because all
others are hard when cold; the oil does
not impart any flavor to the meat, and it
does increase its nutritive properties.
The steak is to be cooked either by Lroil-
ing or frying, according to the writer's
methods, without attempting to remove
from it any of the oil or vinegar that ad-
heres to it; neither will impart any un-
pleasant flavor to the meat; in fact, it
will be improved in every way by their
use.-The Housewife.
