FAT FOR FRYING.

Suet Is Preferable to Either Lard or But
Now that the proper method of frying
in deep fat is SO generally practiced
there is special interest taken in the va
riety of oils and fats now offered in
markoS to succeed lard. For many rea-
sons lard is Objectionable. 1t leaves an
unpleasant odor after it, which clings
to the kitchen and may penetrate to the
upper rooms. No fat leaves a more dis
agreeable odor. Suet is in every way to
be preferred, but it is troublesome to
try out, and can not be purchased like
lard, already prepared for use. The
drippings of roast meat and the fat
taken off beef are really the very best
fats that we have, but there is such a
small amount of this in family, even
if every scrap of it were saved, that
there could not be obtained any ap-
probable amount of it. A certain
amount of beef suet must be tried
out to go with it. To do this chop
the suet fire, put it in an iron spider and
let it melt out till it is perfectly trans
parent, but not till it burns. Then
strain it through pointed bag and put
it aside for use. When very delicate
frying Is to be done, like eggs, and but
ter is usually employed, olive oil may
be advantage ously used, and the adj
vantage is that it does not leave any
black stain on the eggs like butter. It
is too expensive to be used in the guam
tity, and it can not be as thoroughly
depended upon IS animal fats, as 1t is
more likely to boil over. The writer
has had no experience with the form of
cottonseed oil which is now being ex-
tensively introduced under the name of
cottolene, but ordinary cottonseed oil,
such as has been used In southern kitch-
ems for some time, leaves an odor even
more disageeable than that of lard,
and an unpleasant coating of the fat
over the article fried-N. Y Tribune.
