used In numerous ways, when mix
ture would not be palatable and would
not keep as well. 1t is wisdom and
economy to have several fat jars so
that each may be kept by itself. Where
the family have bacon every day or
very often for breakfast, If the fat Is
never allowed to scorch and is poured
through a small square of cheese
cloth in n sieve, which removes all
specks, it may be used for almost
everything that lard would be used
for.
Chicken fat If carefully rendered
will take the place of butter in cakes
and cookies, biscuits and various other
dishes. Chicken fat makes delicious
salad dressing, using 1t in place of
olive oil. Ham fat may be used in
making beans or when cooking greens /;
the smoky flavor is especially well
liked for such dishes.
Lamb and beef fats carefully
strained are used for deep frying, and
also in other ways as needed. The fat
cups should be carefully emptied and
begun anew every two or three weeks.
Pie crust made from bacon fat is just
as tasty as that made with lard.
The smoked fats may be used in
spice cakes or highly seasoned foods
so that the flavor is not at all objec-
tionable.
The habit of carefully conserving
even small amounts of fat will, in a
short time, convince the most skeptical
that much fat is needlessly wasted in
every home, which could be used to
save unnecessary buying of fats for
cooking. When fats pass beyond the
redeemable stage they may be saved
and make a very good soap for use in
dish washing, so that not even tea
spoonful need be wasted.
Blueberries blackberries, cherries
and In fact almost every fruit except
strawberries may be successfully dried.
Have the berries but one layer thick,
stir them often and keep them protect
ed from the flies.
Use enameled ware for the refriger-
ator dishes and avoid breakage. They
are easily kept clean and can be pur-
chased in various shapes.
