Method of Roasting Meat

The principal difference between
roasting and boiling is in the medium
In which the meat is cooked. In boit
ing, the flesh to be cooked is surround
ed by boiling water; In roasting, by
hot air, although in roasting proper
much of the heat comes to the Joint as
radiant heat. In both cases. II prop
erly conducted, the fibers of the meat
are cooked in their own juices.
When the meat alone is to be eaten,
either roasting. broiling or frying In
deep fat Is, when properly done,
more rational method than boiling. fol-
the juices are very largely saved. The
shrinkage In a roast of meat during
cooking Is chiefly due to loss OF water.
At the same time small amounts Of
carbon and nitrogen are driven OF
and little acid is produced which
dissolves some of the constituents of
the meat The fat undergoes partial
decomposition into fatty acids and
glycerin, and a little Of 1t Is volatilized.
II is interesting and at the same
time important to remember that the
smaller the cut to be roasted the hot
ter should be the fire. An intensely
hot fire coagulates the exterior and
prevents the drying up Of the meat
juices. This method would not, how
ever, be applicable to large cuts. be-
cause meats are poor conductors OF
neat. and large piece of meat ex
posed to this intense heat would be-
come burned and changed to charcoal
on the outside long before the heat
could penetrate to the interior. Hence
the rule: The smaller the cut to be
roasted. the higher the temperature to
which 1t should be exposed.
The broiling Of steak or chop
is done on exactly this principle. An
intense heat should be applied to thor
oughly coagulate the, albumen and rtor
the pores. and thus prevent the escape
of juices. A steak exposed to an In.
tense heat for ten minutes IL thorough
ly cooked, and has yet that rare, Juicy
appearance which is so desirable.

CANADA'S CENSUS
A THIRTx.TWo )PER CENT in.
CREASE IN~THE PAST TEN
YEARS.

That Canada has come rapidly to
the front In the past ten years is am
ply shown In the results of the census
recently made public. The population
Of the Dominion is now placed at
T081,869. which with outlying points
to be heard from, may bring 1t up to
IN millions as compared with 6,371,-
316 in 1901. Though these figures are
large. they do not present total as
large as was expected but they do
show greater increase of percentage
In population for the decade than any
similar increase In the United States.
The highest percentage ever reached
by the Republic was 249o; the per-
centage of increase in Canada for the
decade Is 1870. Thus 1t will be seen
that the provinces west Of the lakes,
with the great broad fertile acres
ready for the sowing and immediate
reaping OF grain and the Valleys Of
British Columbia capable of producing
fruit with which to supply its neigh.
boring provinces east of the noun
tains, have attracted numbers. which
has exceeded the most optimistic Of
the expectations of ten years ago.
Upon the prairies Of the ten years
ago there was but spare scattering
Of people; but today, no matter In
which way you go, take any direction,
and you find homes and farms and
good ones too, occupied by the very
best class Of people in good sized set
Element with plenty OF room for five
or six times as many more. The pop
ulation Of. Alberta Is set down at 372.-
919, as compared with 73,022 in 1901;
Saskatchewan 453,508 as compared
with 91,270 In 1901; Manitoba's 49,
691 compares well with its 255,211 In
1901; and SO does that Of British Co
lumbia-362,768 as against 178,657 in
1901; but in territory as large as
this a population of 1,643,000 is little
more than discernible in point of num-
bers. The work through 1t has been
great. Look at the towns that have
been built up; its cities, Winnipeg
with $4,000; Vancouver with upwards
of 100000; Calgary with $4,000; Ed
monitor, Regina, Saskatoon: Leth-
piiu6ct VucuiSihC Ildty VhOOpCJdWS
splendid cities-none better any
where; well maintained and equipped.
These have come with existence and
been built as they have been built by
reason Of the splendid agricultural
country by which they are surround
ed. The population Is scarcely dis
cernible. A population ten or twelve
times that shown by the recent
census could be easily maintained in
even greater wealth than that which
maintains the present numbers. There
is certainly a wonderful future for
Western Canada and that which goes
to the development Of the west will
enrich the last. This is the growing
time in Canada and what has been
done In the past ten years Is but a
beginning. The next decade will
show far greater advancement. In
the meantime Canada is bidding well
come the progressive and Industrious
citizen. The invitation is standing
one. At the forthcoming land exposi-
ton in Chicago, Canada will have one
of the best exhibits Of farm products
that has ever been made and 1t will
be well worth while inspecting 1t and
getting information from those who
may be In charge.

Prepare the Chick ems

ByLO.LNTON. Michigan Agricultural College

Just now is time when the chick
ems are about ready to come in from
the range. The pullets should be In
their winter quarters that they may
not be disturbed later when they are
In laying, and the extras-all those
which are not to be used as layers or
breeders, and the surplus cockerelv
should be made ready for market.
1t is not expected that range cattle
are in market condition without few
weeks finishing. nor can 1t be expect
ed that range chickens are ready for
table use without softening Of the
muscle and adding little fat. No
ticeable charges can be made In few
days time and II from ten days to
three weeks careful feeding is prac-
ticed neat profit may be realized as
a result of the increased weight and
the superior quality Of the meat.
Most fatteners feed twice day.
IL hours between feeds, and are care
full to have the food of such con-
stituency that 1t will drop-not run
from the end of wooden ladle and
not lumpy enough that the birds can
carry 1t awsy from the troughs. Feed
ing may be done three times day II
preferred, the birds allowed all they
will clean up In a short time and then
the troughs cleaned and turned over.
For ordinary fattening. whether It
be done in crates or In small pens
where the birds can be kept reason
ably quiet, a mixture Of two parts
ground oats, two parts ground buck
wheat and one part corn meal may be
used; mixture of equal parts ground
oats, ground barley, and ground buck
wheat; or If preferred, mixture OF
two parts ground barley, two parts
low grade -four, one part wheat bran.
In either case the meal should be
mixed into thin porridge with sour
skim milk or buttermilk, but II 1t Is
not convenient to procure the milk
in sufficient quantities, meat and raw
vegetable foods may be added to the
ration.

II is we'll to starve them "a hours,
then start them on the wet mash In
small quantities, six or eight ounces
for dozen birds, and gradually In
crease this amount till they are eat

be kept sharp, which may be done
with variety of foods and addition of
plenty of grit and charcoal. Thin
shavings of tallow may be added the
last few days and Is readily convert
ed into chicken fat which not only
adds weight but gives the carcass a
more finished appearance and assists
greatly in cooking.
After the birds have been properly
finished off they should be killed as
soon as possible or they will lose
weight. However care should be
taken to have them starved for a
few hours before killing so as to
leave the intestines empty and. the
carcass in the best condition for the
market.
