Keeping Food in Summer.

Charcoal is of great value in keep
ing ice chests, store rooms, and food
sweet. Place a shallow dish OF char
coal in the ice chest. In milk rooms
or other rooms where food is kept set
dishes of charcoal. If poultry or birds
are to be hung in cool place for a
few days, remove the internal organs,
and partially fill the body with char
coal. Now wrap the bird in paper
and hang up. If the outside of the
poultry is rubbed with black pepper
it will be still further protected from
flies. Small birds, ivers, kidneys,
sweetbreads, etc., may be wrapped in
paraffine paper, and then be buried in
a bed of charcoal.
For keeping large pieces of meat
and poultry here is simple device:
Have a barrel or hogshead half filled
