PROPER USE Of FATS
SHOULD BE KEPT: SEPARATELY
AFTER HOME RENDERING.
German Housewives Have Good Meth.
cd With Suet-OId-Fashioned
Manner Of Clarifying Fat
From the Soup Kettle.

Fats that are derived from the cook
ing of bacon, ham, chicken, beef and
other meats should be kept, each in
it's own receptacle, to be used for diff
ferent 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 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 re-
mains and the scrap has turned to q
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 day,
the water being changed once in the
time. 1t is then drained and put into
an iron kettle with one-half tea cup
OF skim milk to every pound of the
Suet It should be cooked very SLOW
ly.
When it has partly cooled it 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 Ave of
the suet; this makes softer fat, as
lard has a lower melting pound than
beef fat.
Ar old-fashioned method of clarity
ing fat from the soup kettle, or from
cooked meats, so that it may be used
in the kitchen, is to add the cold fat
to q, 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 portion,
which will contain the small particles
of meat, ETC., should be scraped away
and the white, clean fat saved. If the
flavor or color of both are not salts
factory the process may be repeated
several times. Another method which
is often recommended is to cook
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 sui
ficient for long time, it should By
in cool, dry place.

Rhubarb FIummery.

Peel and cut up 212 pounds Of rhu-
barb; put in a basin with little cold
water, not enough to quite cover it,
place plate over the top and cook it
until soft in the oven. Dissolve one
heaping tablespoonful of powdered
gelatin in half cup of boiling water.
add strained juice Of rhubarb and stir
until dissolved. With a wooden spoon
rub the cooked rhubarb through a
sieve, then add to gelatin, with seven
tablespoonsfuls Of whipped cream and
eight tablespoonsfuls Of sugar. Set
this on the fire to reheat, but do not
allow to boil, stirring all the time.
Pour into wet moulds, turn out when
firm and serve with custard around
them.

Mustard Pickle.

One large head of cauliflower, one
quart of white button onions, one dozen
dill pickles, two quarts of vinegar, one
teaspoonful mustard seed, two tea
spoonfuls celery seed. two cupfuls of
sugar, three-quarters Of cup of flour,
one-quarter of a pound Of ground
mustard. one tablespoonful of tur-
meric powder. Divide cauliflower in
pieces and boil it and the onions in
sailed water until about half done,
drain, cut up dill pickles; mix -four,
mustard and turmeric with a little
cold water and add this to the boiling
vinegar in which the sugar and celery
and mustard seeds have been placed.

over the pickle. This makes about

PENGUIN OIL INDUSTRY
BIRDS ARE CAPTURED AND BRED
FOR PROFIT.
Macquarie Island, Between Tasmania
and the Antarctic Continent, 10
the Center of Promising
Commercial Enterprise.

What is probably the most southerly
industry of the world is being carried
on at Macquarie island, about halfway
between Tasmania and the Antarctic
continent, in capture of penguins for
their oil. Macquarie island belongs
to the state of Tasmania, and has an
area of about $4,000 acres, being about
twenty-five miles long and five miles
wide The island is leased by the
Tasmania government to Joseph
Hatch, who has established a penguin
oil industry there. Recently meeting
Mr.. Hatch, l obtained the following
particulars from him:
There are probably 100000 pen
gums on the island, so that the stock
to be drawn from seems almost limit
less There are also large number
of sea elephants about the shores OF
this island. The oil is obtained from
the penguns by boiling the carcasses
in digesters capable of dealing with
800 birds at time The tops OF the
digesters are fastened down and steam
applied until about twenty-five pounds
pressure is ATTAINED. The steam IS
then turned off and water pumped into
the bottoms of the digesters, this
causing the oil to rise, when 1t is
taken off the top by tap.
The oil is placed in barrels and sold
to binder Irvine makers in Australia
and New Zealand. There is a good
market for all the oil that is produced
here, but the industry has met with
several severe losses through wreck
of ships attempting to visit the island.
There is no harbor about the island,
so that vessels have to lie about half
a mile off the rocky coast, and all
material has to be conveyed to and
from the shore on RATS formed OF
casks Owing to the roughness OF
the open roadstead, it is impossible to
obtain insurance for vessels trading
there.
Macquarie island is about $50 miles
southeast Of Hobart The island Is
barren, being covered only with tus-
;socky grass. Whaling ships visiting
there intrody%ed rabbits and Maori
hens. which are now quite prolific.
The Mawson Antarctic expedition
from Australia has established a wire
less station there, and daily messages
are now being received at Hobart. 1t
was the intention of this expedition to
use MacQuaric island as a means OF
sending messages all the way from
their base at Adele land to Hobart,
but unfortunately the wireless station
established at Adele land has been
unable to communicate with Mac
quarie island, owing it is supposed,
to being too near the magnetic dis
turbances caused by the proximity
of the south magnetic pole. The
station at Macquarie island. however,
has already proved Of considerable
value to shipping in Australian waters
by giving warning OF storms coming
up from the south-Consul Henry D.
