PROPER USE OF FATS
FROM DIFFERENT SOURCES THEY
HAVE DIFFERENT USES.
Home Rendering OF suet and Beef
lard Always to Be Recommended
ECONOMY Practiced by the
German Housewife.

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
different purposes.
Home rendering of both suet and
leaf lard has it's 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 rat
from the tougher membrane that
holds it, For this purpose the mate
rial ia cut into small pieces and COW
cred with water and allowed to COOK
slowly for some time until no more
water remains.
better method for suet Is that
used by German housewives, who
economic on butter by the use OF beef
fat more than do American housekeep-
ers. The suet is cut in small pieces
and covered with water, In which 1t is
allowed to soak for a day. the water
being changed once in the time. 1t
is then drained, the scrap has turn
ed to a light brown. and put into an
skinned milk to every pound OF the
suet. 1t should be cooked very slow
ly until the sound of boiling entirely
ceases.
When 1t has partly cooled 1t should
be carefully poured OF. This fat has
no unpleasant taste or odor, and In
many recipes may be substituted for
part of the butter. Some cooks add
a pound of leaf lard to four or hye
of the suet; this makes 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
cooled meats, so that it 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 par
ticles of meat ETC., should be scraped
away and the white, clean fat saved
II the flavor or color of both are not
satisfactory, the process may be re-
peated several times. Another meth.
cd which Is often recommended Is to-
cook a number of slices of raw potato
In the boiling fat.
When an ice chest is used, fat In
small quantities may be easily kept
sweet for cooking purposes. If lard
is rendered at home in quantity sufti-
cient for a long time, it should be
kept covered in tins or earthen jars,
in a cool, dry place.

Homlng Instinct Is Shown by some
Recent Experiments In
England.

Some remarkably interesting de-
tails regarding the movements ana the

were presented to the Eastern sea
Fisheries Committee. During the
past two years Fishery Inspector II.
Donnison has been carrying out IN
vestigations on behalf Of the COM

cannot fail to be of considerable use
to those concerned in biological re-
search.
In the course OF an exhaustive re-
port he stated that between July and
September, 1910, nearly two thousand
crabs were captured, and after being
labeled were again set free along the
Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts. The
crabs had recently cast their shells,
and new ones were then in process
of hardening.
Rewards were paid to fishermen
upon returning the crabs when recap
tured. They were returned to the sea
at varying distances from the shore,

TWO TREATIES POSSIBLE.
Russian Jewi II Situation to Be i'm One
COIenant

Washington.-That two treaties
with Russia will take the place of the
treaty of 1882, just abrogated by
personal views expressed by officials
of the state department
One treaty would deal entirely with
matters of trade ana commerce, and
the operation of its favored nation
clause, if one we're embodied, would
be confined to hese subjects.
The other y lty would relate
purely to matters of citizenship and
naturalization, which, of course, would
involve some treatment of the Jewish
question. The adoption of this course
may be suggested by the Russian
government.
The Introduction in the Duma of
the bill attacking export trade with
Russia is not regarded with much
concern in official circles here
Even If the measure should be
adopted by the Duma, it would re-
quire the approval of the imperial
council and of the emperor himself
to become law, and could not take eff
feet before January 1 1913, because
of the continuance until that date of
the present treaty with its favored
nation clause.
Negotiations for a new treaty prob
ably will not be undertaken seriously
before September. Meanwhile the
Russian general elections will have
been held as will the great American
quadrennial political conventions. Re-
moved from all likelihood Of political
influence in either country, it is felt
that negotiations then can be con-
Quoted in calm and judicial manner.
The movement in Russia to boycott
American machinery is growing. The
state department was advised today
that members of the council at Mos
COW and Kursk have petitioned the
Duma to act.
