GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

A CHAT ABOUT PORK.

Brilliant tinted autumn has stepped
aside for clear. cold early winter, and a
new kind of work Is IN operation In rural
districts: it is hutchering time. The
pampered little pigs and great, fat porkers
are truly on their way TO market The
majority OF them will be sent overseas,
in the form OF smoked and picked pork
in double quick time, Of course, and that
is what we all desire; but small portion
Of il will be used here at home.
When hogs are prepared for bacon, the
ribs are cut with very little flesh left on
them and they become spare ribs
Mighty good they are just laid across
baking pan and covered with layer
of bread stuffng and baked until brown
and tempting

legs are cut for hams On each side the
strip of bacon Is large spare rib; one
is called the sweet hone and the other
the blade bone Other parts that stay
at home when Mr. Porkcr goes travelling.

and there with sage, seasoned crumbs.

roast pork and this meat seldom appears
without parsnIps Pork has done much
TO make parsnlps popular, for though
they are an excellent vegetable, they
need something to recommend them.
When you have pork remember not
to forget the mustard-pot, or you will be
well scolded, rs was the cook who served
