BAKED HAM.
New Feature of Holiday Feast Dor
rOwed From the South.


1t goes without saying that his maj
esty the turkey will grace the Christ
mas dinner table, but for variety and
to give a new note to this feast it is an
excellent idea to follow the southern
fashion of introducing han to share
honors with the reigning fowl.
The ham may be either hot or cold
and should be baked to a crisp brown.
Few there are who understand the art
of preparing ham in this way. First
it should be partly baked with the
thick outside skin left on, and then
this should be removed and the fat
stuck full of cloves and left to brown
in a slow oven. The spice imparts a
deliciously delicate flavor and should
not be taken out, but left in the ham
just as it comes from the oven. No
sauce is needed with ham cooked after
this rule.-New York Herald.
