These results show that seedlings
are richer in ash, nitrogen and or

Mixing For Sausage.

Sausage should be made of clean,
fresh pork. To every 3 pounds of
lean meat add / pound of fat and
mix them together by chopping.
When this is done, spread the meat
out thinly and season with a mixture
of ounce of fine salt. one-half
ounce of ground black pepper and
one-half ounce of pure leaf sage,
rubbed fine, for every 4 pounds of
meat. The seasoning should be
sprinkled over the meat and the
two mixed together by running them
through a food chopper. The sau-
sage may then be packed in jars or
castings.
II largo quantities of meat are to
be smoked, permanent smokehouse
is necessary. but for small Quanti-
ties large dry goods box serves the
purpose. A smokehouse should be s
or 10 feet high and should have
plenty of ventilation. so that the
warm air may be carried OFF and the
meat prevented from overheating. 1t
is best to have the fire pot outside,
with fiue to conduct the smoke into
the meat chamber. but II this cannot
be arranged the fire is built on the
floor of the house and the meat

ton should allow the smoke to pass
