MAKING BoNELEss HAMS.
Housekeepern May Do 1t as Well aa .
Professional Butcher


Little though one may think, the
process of making homeless ham ie
quite fine art and one that requires
no small degree of skill In the under.
taking. In fact, 1t is not every one
who can bone" ham successfully.
In the event u housekeeper unfamiliar
with the art of removing the bone
from hams were to undertake the Job
she would be almost certain to begin
operations by first of all splitting the
ham open and endeavoring to carve out
the bone by cutting around it. The re-
suit would be failure and vexation of
the worst sort to say nothing of ruin
ed ham. The proper way to remove
the bone would never suggest itself to
the average housekeeper.
The operator stands the ham on end
against supporting block and pro-
ceeds to carve around the bone from
one end as deep as 1t is possible for
him to run his hand and knife down
into the flesh and around the bone.
Having reached the extreme limit {as
far, In fact, as 1t is possible to extend
the knife, he reverses the ham and
begins cutting around the bone from
the other end, cutting downward until
he reaches the point that he attained
in cutting from the end on which he
began. the entire operation being sci
entifically correct and on the principle
of skinning an animal. The bone then
slips out clear and smooth, free from
any adhering flesh.
AS soon as this Is done stout Irvine is
wrapped around the ham and drawn
taut completely closing the aperture
left by the removal of the bone. The
Irvine is thus made fast and the ham
laid away for day or two, at the end
of which time the hole has closed SO
neatly that, In slicing the ham, 1t Is
difficult to determine the exact spot
from which the bone was removed.
This Is the proper mode of making
homeless ham. and with a little prac-
tice any houseleeper can learn to do
the work as well as professional
butcher. They Will observe that first
of all the bone Is surrounded by It's
sue, and by starting the operation from
the ends they will be surprised with
what facility this tissue, dividing the
bone from tho flesh, peels loose from
the former.
