Nearly every household has it's fav-
orite way Of curing the pork and beef
designed for the yearly supply. but
there are always the odds and ends to
be attended to, and one likes to know
the various ways practiced in other
homes. Take for instance the hogs
head and try the different ways Of pre-
pairing it. In all cases it is first well
cleaned and scraped, scalded, cut up
and the lining Of all the cavities re-
moved. Some allow it to soak in .
weak brine over night, others use only
cold water. The brine is preferable,
as It helps to remove the blood that
may remain in the meat. It is then
boiled in water to cover, until the
meat is separated from the bones,
aud, If wanted for head cheese, is
chopped, seasonedt put in box and
pressed to remove the fat. IT is then
sliced and eaten cold. The broth il
used for soup or thickened with corn
meal and after cooling Il fried like
ordinary mush. The broth must first
be allowed to cool 30 that the fat can
Be removed, then strained to remove
any pieces of bone and seasoned with
salt, pepper and sage. In making
scrapple the chopped meat is added to
the broth, then seasoned and thick
ened with corn meal, cooking it like
mush, and when cold it is sliced and
fried, says the Home Magazine.
Sometimes the feet are cleaned and
cooked with the head, then taken out
and covered with hot spiced vinegar to
make picked pigs feet.
Souse-meat is made by chopping the
head meat rather coarse, after it has
been allowed to get cold, then return
ing it to the broth in which the head
and feet were boiled, seasoning rather
highly with salt, pepper and sage and
pouring in pans to cool. The broth
should be strained and cooled, then
the fat should be taken from the top
before heating and adding the head
meat. 1t should be about two inches
deep in the pan. When cold this forms
. clear jelly well filed with the
chopped meat, and is very fine to slice
for breakfast.
The tenderloin IL very nice fried as
for the table and packed in small jars
then covered with hot Lard. This will
keep for use when warm weather
comes again and fresh meat is scarce.
Sometimes there is more OF the roast
pieces and tenderloin than is wanted
at once, and if the weather is not quite
cold there is danger Of its not keeping
perfectly sweet. This difficulty il
easily overcome by rubbing the meat,
around the bones, with
powdered borax. Equal parts Of boz
rax and salt are sometimes used for
this purpose. Wash of the borax be-
fore cooking the meat. j
Some persons are very fond Of friedt
liver, but do not want It for more than
one meal. It can be fried and packed
b lard the same as mentioned for the j
Eenderloin and win be appreciated

To r1embers Of Ladies' Auxiliary
Dear Sisters:-As We enter upon the
new year and realize that the demands
on our time and means are much
greater than 10 the past, can We re-
main content with our efforts to DO
good !? With our ability TO do good
In this world, and with the talent we
have, God expects US to use that tai
ent while it Is yet day, for "the night
cometh when no man can work. =
God may say Of US, when we least ex-
pect it. Take the talent from him,
and give it unto him who has ten tai
ents." We know not how long we may
enjoy these blessed privileges, for we
are floating down the stream Of life
fast enough. We cannot afford to fall
to do q Christian's duty according TO
Gods will, for, before we can please
God wesm must be submissive TO his
will, because be has said "For my
thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways; for AZ
the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your
ways" Now, In this year Of 1908, sup
pose we take new courage and adopt
Gods way In doing our Christian duty,
laying aside our garments Of self
righteousness and wisdom and be
willing to follow the teachings OF the
bible In our work as 9 body OF nilsson
ary societies We have so many MEM
bers who rarely attend the meetings.
and very few send in their dues. We
do little enough at, these meetings, |
but how greatful we would be II every
member Of our auxiliary would begin

IT is strange that our people should
need any urging to induce them to plant
fruit trees, but some OF them do Many
farmers have few or no fruit trees upon
their lands. and yet, by setting out two
or three trees each year. they would
eventually have orchards Of much value,
The cost would be insignificant and tho
