CHICKEN FAT VALUABLE IN
COOKERY.

Do YOU throw away the body TAT OF
poultry-big layers of clean, sweet i.
yellow fat around the gizzard and
found elsewhere around the intestines
OF the chicken? II yop do, say special
lists OF the United States Department
of Agriculture, you are throwing away
fat which French housewives consid-
or the finest of fats for making cakes
and especially puff paste. In certain
seasons in New York and other big
cities this fat is sohighly esteemed
that it brings as much as $ll0 per
pound SO great Is the demand for this
fat that many people make business
OF collecting it from butchers and
others who dress poultry before delv-
ering il to customers. Housewives
would do well to insist on having it
delivered if they buy their poultry
dressed. BY using chicken fat in
cooking they can cut down the amount
of fat they must buy for that purpose.
To prepare it, try IL out in q double
boiler or other vessel set in hot wat
er, until the fat just melts away from
the tissues and can be poured off This
fat becomes rancid easily and should
be kept cool and covered like butter
and used in very few days. Chicken
fat. like goose fat, may be used for
shortening in cakes such as spice cake
where the seasoning used will mask
any flavor which the fat might have.
II can also be used for frying the
chicken itself or other meats and for
warming vegetables, etc.

We understand there is now talk of
calling into service boys nineteen
years of age. If this is done it will
certainly hit the farmers hard. About
all that will be left will be lot of
old men, women and children to raise
farm crops to supply the world. This
will also just about close the colleges,
SO far as young men students are con-
cerned, and will shorten the list of

lieve the age limit should be placed

The man who put his corn in a silo
this year does not have to worry
about that much of his corn crop. What
a blessing it would have been had
about two hundred more silos been
built and filled this year in Crawford
county. This soft corn will, no doubt,
interest more of our farmers in the
subject of silos.
AS 1 see thousands of bushels of
corn laying on the ground on our farms
am the more impressed with the fact
that this county needs q county agent.
Many had foreseen that we were to
have much soft corn, but no organized
effort was made to save it. If a county
agent had been with US he would have
warned the farmers against many of
the mistakes they have made, and
would have saved thousands of dollars
to the farmers.
Farmers living near Jefferson are
complaining of depredations of thieves
in their corn fields, who climb through
the fences in the nocturnal hours and
fill sacks with the yellow product. A

nights.
A machine that has been we'll oiled
and placed in a shed which will pro-
tect it from the storms, will last twice

George Neddermeyer resides about
one and a half miles east of Charter
Oak. He is about seventy-five years
old and is as spry and frisky as colt.
He owns an eight hundred acre slice
of Crawford county farm land. His
three sons assist him with the farm
work. This farm is stock farm and
there are now at least 600 head Of cat
tie, several hundred head of sheep and
swine on the farm. The Black Angus
cattle are raised by Mr.. Neddermeyer
and his boys. They now have some
two hundred head Of these pure bred
black beauties. This summer more
than thirty head of registered males
left this farm. Three loads Of baby
beef are now being fed and they are a
nice looking lot. About 200 head OF
calves are raised yearly. A large cir
GUAR barn is used to house the horses
and some of the cattle. 1t is about
100 feet across it and the stalls are
placed around the outer edge and big
hay NOW in the center. l brought
home with me from this farm the best
matured ears of corn l have seen in
the county this year. 1t is a medium
size ear Of an early variety and fully
matured. Twenty acres was planted
to this corn, but some of it was cut
for fodder for early feeding. Mr.. Ned
dermeyer now wishes he had not cut
it and that all of the corn in his neigh
borhood was like it, for he buys much
feed from his neighbors to feed his
stock.
