The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1906-02-10
1T WAS OVERSIGHT.

The Payette Independent directs
attention to the fact that THE
TRIBUNE failed to express itself in
respect to convention nomina ton
of United States Senator, under
circumstance that warrants a
charge of oversight, with dash
of suspicicion. We wish to say
to The Independent that it was
purely oversight. We honestly in
tended to set forth our views of
convention nomination, but that
day we were very busy killing pigs
and absorbed in the work. There
is good deal to pig killing. First
you must decide between shooting,
stabbing and knocking on tle
head. Then the problem of pro-
viding hot water has to be solved,
and how can one scrape off the
bristles without candlestick? After
the pig is dead and hung up, many
delicate questions arise. One pig
has but one bladder, and each of
the three or seven boys insists on
having it. That is embarrassing,
and leads to trouble. The matter
of cutting up is a serious business.
Did you ever undertake to convert
stiff, stark hog into hams, Shout
ders, sides, spareribs, sausage,
chain and head-cheese? If you
never have, you do not realize the
relative Importance of pig killing
to convention nomination. And
this naturally leads up to the in
quiry why butchers never make de-
cent sausage. We wish the indie
pendent would tell, if it knows.
There is just as much difference
between the sausage your wife
makes and that the butcher makes
as between the oyster plant and New
York counts, provided, OF course,
you had sense enough to get wife
who knows how to make sausage.
Aud there,is another thing: None
of those American butchers know
anything about making fagots, and
fagots are fine as silk. They are
made by chopping up pigs liver
with onions and things and pepper
and salt and other and diverse
things. When that is all done,
about two tablespoonfulls of the
convection are wrapped up in a
piece of the pigs apron, and thai
makes a dose when it is nicely
cooked in moderate oven. When
you want something nourishine
and appetizing, get you a nice hot
fagot, cup of coffee with home
made cream and a warm biscuit
That is a combination to tickle the
palates of the gods. Picked pigs
feet are also good. but sparerib
sausage and fagots are more to oul
taste.
