PRACTICE SAVING IN KITCHEN
Proper Use Of "6y-Products" viii Do
Much to Reduce Bills From the
Butcher.

To apply a manufacturing term to
our household materials and methods
our kitchen "by-products" should be
more carefully considered than they
often are; and by this expression is
meant waste materials. The by.pro-
ducts of meat are more often lost than
those of other foods. and this is a great
loss. since this group Of foodstuffs is
increasing in expense. Bones are chief
among them, and fat. All bones NAV
be quickly turned to good service by
being washed, covered with cold wa.
ter, heated gradually and made into a
broth, which even if small in quantity
will add flavor and some nutriment to
gravies or soups. We must learn to
use these meat flavors to help reduce
the cost of living by making gravies
and vegetables more palatable.
As to the fats. they are not always
made as full use of as is possible
For shortening cakes, ETC.. for deem
frying and for soap every bit NAV
be used with little additional labor
To prepare 1t suet is cut in small
pieces, covered with water. allowed to
soak for a day, the water being
changed once. When drained, it is
put in a kettle with one-half cupful
skim milk to each pound of suet, and
cooked slowly until sound of boiling
has ceased. When partly cooked the
clear fat Is drained from the scraps.
A combination of leaf lard or chick
en- fat with beef fat yields a softer
product. Whether sliced bacon is fried
on top OF the stove or baked in a pan
IN the oven. large proportion Of it
exudes in clear fat. All of this should
be saved to use for browning vege.
tables for soup or for hashed brown
potatoes or similar purposes.

Green feeds. such as cabbages, man.

fed until the chicks are two weeks
old, when they should be placed on

Mashes mixed with milk are of consid-

should be fed in a crumbly mass and
not in a sloppy condition.

English Language In Japan.

The spread Of the English language

who are studying English as a part of
