HoME-RENpEREO FATS USED IN
PLACE OF BUTTER.
American Housewives Might Well
Copy the Methods Of Their Ger
man Sisters-MateriaI keeps
Sweet for a Long Time.

Fats that are derived from the
cooking Of bacon, ham, chicken. beef
and other meats should be kept, each
IN its own receptacle, to be used for
Inherent purposes.
Home rendering OF both suet and
leaf lard has its advantages, because
the product Is generally superior to
what can be bought for the same price.
Both suet and leaf lard require
cooking in order to loosen the fat from
the tougher membrane that holds It.
For this purpose the material is cut
In small pieces and covered with water
and allowed to cook slowly for some
time until no more water remains and
the scrap has turned to a light brown.
A better method for suet Is that
used by German housewives, who
economic on butter by the use of beef
fat more than do American house
keepers. The suet Is cut In small
pieces and covered with water, In
which it Is allowed to soak for a day,
the water being changed once in that
1t Is then drained and put into
an iron kettle with ope-half teacup Of
skim milk to every pound Of the suet.
1t should be cooked very slowly until
the sound Of boiling entirely ceases.
When 1t has partly cooked 1t should
be carefully poured off. This fat has
no unpleasant taste or odor, and in
many recipes may be substituted for
part Of the butter. Some cooks add
q pound of leaf lard to four or five
OF the suet; this makes a softer fat,
as lard has a lower melting point than
beef fat.
An old-fashioned method of clarity
ing fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooked meats, so that 1t may be used
In the kitchen, Is to add the cold fat
to a liberal quantity Of cold water.
then heat slowly and let cook for an
hour or more. When cold, the cake
Of fat is removed and the lower por-
ton, which will contain the small
particles Of meat, ETC., should be
scraped away and the white, clean fat
saved. II the favor or color OF both
are not satisfactory the process may
be repeated several times. Another
method which Is often recommended
Is to. cook a number Of slices Of raw
potato tn the boiling fat.
When an ice chest is used. fat in
small quantities may be easily kept
sweet for cooking purposes. II lard
Is. rendered a. home In quantity suf-
ficient for a long time. 1t should be
kept covered in tins or earthsn jars,
IN a cool, dry place, as In q cellar or
storeroom.

EASY TO REPAIR FURNITURE
How Weak Parts May Be Strength
ened and Article Saved fer
Future Use.

Dry rot Is common in old furniture,
and sometimes a piece Is too good to
throw away; the weak part can be
strengthened In this way: Scrape
the rotten wood from the piece OF
furniture, then spray the part with
coal oil. Make a mixture Of beeswax,
melted rosin and sawdust and I'LL
the holes. This will harden and make
a perfect wood cement. II the wood
Is a dark mahogany color, add some
melted sealing wax to the mixture;
keep 1t hot when applying 1t to the
wood. When vanished 1t does not
sLow the patch.
When a round breaks In q chair do
not remove the back or leg of the
chair, wherever the damage IL done;
pull the round from the chair. repair
1t II 1t Ia possible. then with an anger
make one of the holes a half inch
deeper. This will allow the round to
slip down into the deepened hole. at
ter which the opposite end can be
lifted in place and glued.
The piece should lie nat while dry
ing, or the round viii slip out Of plaza.
This saves the trpubie Of removing
other parts to remedy small break.
