PROPER USE OF WASTE FATS
Saved From Any Kind Of Meat They
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 dessert than a plain vege-
table.
Neither cream, lard, butter, nor
beef can take the place Of pork fat
for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also
gives a tang to beets, parsnips and
carrots which cannot be duplicated in
any other way.
The waste fat from beef makes a
better cake, better pie crust and
better candies than the highest priced
butter. Cookies, puddings and cakes
have savoriness SO enticing when
made Of beef drippings that not even
the most delinquent appetite can cay
them nay.
The fats, oils and greases from
lamb or veal all lend themselves TO
the economical housewife as a great
Improvement over costly buffers and
cheap lards for frying, broiling and
preparing food in all sorts of other
ways. One part of these fats will
give a happier flavor to fish, beans
carrots and peas than ten times as
much butter. Indeed. a spoonful of II
will do the work Of whole pound OF
butter.
Then there are the "grube," so
called by the Jewish cooks who re-
move the fat and grease from geese
and fry 1t with the goose flesh into
crisp, brittle fiat cakes. The grease
from the geese and other fowl is wide.
ly used In Jewish homes. Some stu.
dents think its use has much to do
with the relative absence Of wasting
distempers among the people of this
ancient nation.

AS TO MAKING CAKES
EXPERT ADVICE FROM DEPART.
MENT OF AGRICULTURE.
cases Where Rendered Beef or Veal
Fat May Be Substituted for But
ter-lntroduclng Variety Into
tho CONNECTIONS.

There are, generally speaking, only
two kinds of cake made by the Ameri-
can housewife; namely, sponge cakes
and butter cakes. The former never
have butter in them and are frequent.
ly raised entirely by means Of eggs.
The eggs usually provide the only
moisture used, but when eggs are ex-
pensive, economy sometimes demands
that water be added and baking pow
der used. In the latter kind, butter
is generally used on account Of Its
flavor. Its effect on dough is to make
1t tender and brittle instead of tough
ind elastic.
Sponge cakes are mixed differently
from butter cakes and should be
baked in a cooler oven and about
tne and one-fourth times as long.
The tests and rules for baking are
lhe same for sponge cakes and butter
cakes.
Gingerbread and other highly spiced
cakes may be classed as but
ter cakes" but for economy's sake
pure rendered beef or veal fat may
9 substituted for butter as the flavor
IF the fat will not be SO evident as In
Dther kinds of cake.
A cooky also comes under the
rlass of butter cakes" any butter
lake recipe being applicable to cookies
| II only one-third to one-half the
amount Of milk called for Is used
The dough should be rolled out on a
Toured board Cookies should bake
IN slow oven for to 10 minutes.
Much variety can be made in cakes
by introducing fruits, nuts, spices OF
lifferent flavoring extracts into the
