HOT TAMALES

Virginia c. Meredith in a recent article in the Breeders Gazette, gives some in teresting information about tamales and tells how to make them
 The hot tamale is a Mexican dish. One hears about it often from the soldiers returned from the border It is in sea- son when roasting ears are, because the corn husk is essentia1 to the properly prepared tamale The ear with it's silk is removed and the husk then used as shell in which to steam the tamale. Sometimes this shell is lined with a stiff dough made from scalded cornmeal of the consistency of corn dodger. This is then filled with a mixture. highly sea- soned, of chicken, rice and sweet red peppers. After tying the husks together securely the tamales are steamed until the cornmeal is thoroughly cooked and has absorbed the flavor of the chicken filling
 The following is certified recipe used by an American family long resident in Mexico. and is accompanied with the comment that while the tamale is pal atable it is troublesome 10 prepare, nat urally belonging to a section where cheap help is as plentiful as in Mexico
 Grind two quarts of I've hominy while wet; salt and knead with one pound of lard in one. quart of water until it floats on the swater; then cook or steam 40 minutes or until the water is evaporated; to this add an equal quantity of ground meat half beef and half pork, to which has been added dried pumpkin, ground, also ground red peppers, garlic, dill and Mexican herbs; form in balls and cook in hot fat.

held this charge. He is a great preach

of the most interesting men we have
met for some time. Our stay was
pleasant. He has an excellent wife and
charming daughter.

While passing through the streets
of Pedrue Hill one of the merchants
beckoned to US and informed the
writer that it was reported that we
were an migration agent and il such
we must get out of town at once. In
some sections all strangers are looked
upon with suspicion. A good many
of the white people are anxious to
have the negro remain in the South,
because of the cheap wages given and
the enormous profits in dealing with
them. But hundreds are leaving and
