If the fair is placing emphasis on the

fruit is apples or pears.
Proper packing presupposes correct

give equal value TO bulge, alignment

the amount of bulge and the compact

features. Most Of the packed apples

expert packers.

PROPER USE OF WASTE FATS

Are Valued BY the Economical
Housewife.

Have you ever noticed how enticing
sweet potatoes are when served with
Maryland pork and beans? Somehow
the pork greases make them seem
more like q dessert than plain vege-

Neither cream. lard, butter, nor
beef can take the place Of pork fat
for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also

carrots which cannot be duplicated in
any other way.
The waste fat from beef makes .
better cake. better pie crust and
better candies than the highest priced
butter. Cookies. buildings and cakes
have q savoriness so enticing when
made Of beef drippings that not even
the most delinquent appetite can say
them nay.

CHEAPER MEAT FROM TEXAS
Ranchsrs Forming Organization %
Sell Beef In New York Indspsn-
dent Of All Large Dealers.

Talk Of getting meat supplies at

general discussion Of the cost Of beef
ever since the packers' alleged trust

has been said many times that there
should be some way to get beef d.
rectly from the ranches to the re-
tail dealers in the large cities and
thus cut out the middlemen. says
Buffalo Express. The packers have
contended that their ability to utilize
every part Of q steer helped to keep
down the prices Of meat
An organization IL now being formed
among hte Texas ranchers to provide
for the sale Of beef in New York in
dependently Of all large dealers. The
cattle will be slaughtered in Texas
and the beef shipped from Galveston
directly to retail dealers in New York.
II IL said that q small Galveston COM
pany, which has q new way Of packing
and canning. has had considerable
success in this trade in the metropolis.
It would seem that 1t might be pos
sible for cattle-owners to make more
money through business Of this
kind than by sending their cattle to
the Chicago market. for instance. and.
at the same time, sell the meat to
retailers at prices which would make
it possible for them to cut under the
regular packing-house prices.

One Cause Of Failure.

Many cooperative selling associa-

upon handling only the best Of their
products and leave them to dispose of
the lower grades as best they can. The

with such conditions and sell their

money. II cooperation is to bring
about better results and secure a more

stuff produced in the locality. In this
way the products may be handled so
that they will pay fair profits to the
producer and not come into competi.

during the harvest season Of the vari-
Gus products.
