PLENTY OF FRESH AIR Is GOOD
HEALTH INSURANCE

Do not close up the house the first
cold day.
The best protection against colds
and influenza is plenty of fresh air.
Open all the doors several times a
day and thoroughly air the whole
house
Fresh air is more quickly heated
than stale, hence it saves fuel as well
as health to have good ventilation.
All winter have at least one screen
in window in each room. Cover it
with muslin-an old flour sack is ex-
cellent for this purpose In this way
fresh air is secured without a draft
and dirt is kept out.
Sleep at night with the windows
open. The body replaces the waste
of the day during the sleeping hours
and plenty of oxygen is its first aid.
A New Stunt With Old Potatoes.
Those who grow potatose for their
own use or who buy large quantities
and store them are puzzled sometimes
as to how to dispose of the shriveled,
wrinkled tubers that remain on their
hands in late spring because they are
not altogether satisfactory for cook
ing or planting. The Scientific
American suggests the following plan
which many doubtless will find it to
their advantage to file away and give
a practical tryOut next spring.
On the shelf of dark cupboard or
on the floor in part of the cellar to
which light never penetrates spread
layer of dry soil an inch or so deep
and into this press the old potatose
so that only about half of the bulk
of each projects above the soil. Care
must be taken that no tuber touches
any of its neighbors. Sprinkle them
lightly with water but don't do this
too frequently, the soil should never
be really damp or the growth or mold
will be encouraged.
After time little white spots will
begin to appear on the potatoes and
at length these will develope into
small potatoes which. when they at
tain the size of small walnuts, may
be gathered and cooked in the usual
manner. They have an excellent fla
vor and make an excellent dish. The
production of new tubers in this way
will continue for many months until
finally there is nothing left of the
original potatoes but the skins.
1t is absolutely essential that the |
patch" devoted to the growing of
potatoes in this way be totally dark
for if any light reaches them con-
tinuously they tend to send out shoots
or sprouts instead of potatoes as is
desired.

for lard and the lean trimmings for
sausage.
The ham is removed from the mid
die by cutting just back of the rise in
the backbone. Cut from the flank
toward the root of the tail to an angle
of about as degrees. Loin meat is
thus saved which would be otherwise
trimmed off the ham and used for
sausage. Remove the ribs from the
side, cutting as close to the ribs as
possible. The loin and fatback are
cut off in one piece; cue parallel with
the back Just below the tender loin
muscle on the rear part of the
middle. Remove the fat on the top
of the loin, but do not cut into loin
meat The lean meat is used for
chops or roasts and the fatback for
lard. The remainder of the middle
should then be trimmed off for bacon.
If 1t is a very large side, 1t may be cut
in two pieces. Trim all sides and
edges as square as possible.
Ham.
All rough and hanging pieces of
meat should be trimmed from the
ham. The ham should then be
trimmed smoothly. exposing as little
lean meat as possible, because the
curing hardens 1t. All lean trim
mings should be saved for sausage
and fat trimmings for lard. The other
half of the carcass should be cut up
in similar fashion.
Meat Trimmings And Fat Trimmings.
After the carcass has been cut up
and the pieces are trimmed and shap-
ed properly for the curing process,
there are considerable pieces of lean |
meat, fat meat and fat which can be |
used for making sausage and lard. |
The fat should be separated from the
ean and used for lard. The meat |
should be cut into convenient pieces

Mustard Gas Invented Here.

mans are now supposed to be using, is
to be taken up by the American In

brought to the attention of the asso-

was to the effect that Benjamin =.

Rendering Lard.

The leaf lard is of the best quality
-TAe back strip of the side also makes
good lard, as do the trimmings Of the
ham. shoulder and neck. Intestinal
o. gut fat Is an inferior grade and Ii
best rendered by itself. II should be
thoroughly washed and left In cold
water for several hours before rem
daring, which will partially eliminate
the offensive odor. Leaf lard, back
strips and lard trimmings can be rem
dered together. If the gut fat is In
cluded, the lard takes on a very Of
fensive odor.
First, remove all skin and lean
meat from lard trimmings. To do
this cut the lard into strips about l II
inches wide, then place the strip on
the table, skin down, and cut the fat
from the skin. When piece of skin
large enough to grasp is freed from
the fat, take 1t in the left hand, knife
held in the right hand inserted be-
tween the fat and skin. pull the skin
and with the knife slanted downward
slightly this will clearly remove the
fat from the skin. The strips of fat
should then be cut into pieces Of 1
to one and a half inches square,
making them about equal in size, so
they try out evenly.
Pour into the kettle about a quart
OF water, then fill it nearly full with
the lard cuttings. The fat will then
heat and bring out the grease without
burning. Cook the lard over mod
crate fire. When starting the tenn
perature should be about 100 degrees
+. and should be run up to 1875 de-
grees +. Frequent stirring is neces-
sark to prevent burning. When the
cracklings are brown in color and
Light enough to float, the lard should
be removed from the fire. Press the
fat from the cracklings and use them
to make cracking bread or feed them |
TO the chickens. When the lard is |
removed from the fire. allow it to |
cool little. To aid cooling stir the |
lard. This also tends to whiten the \
lard and make it smooth. Then /
strain 1t through muslin cloth into
the containers.
When removing lard from a con-
tainer for use, take it off evenly from
the surface exposed. Do not dig
down into the lard and take out
for when this is done it will
leave a thin coating around the sides
of the container which will become
rancid very quickly by the action of
he air.

night its victory program" II calls
for the formation at the coming peace
congress of a league of free nations
possessing judicial, administrative and
executive powers and functions which
would be so administered as to guar
antee a permanent peace.
The program, which Il was an
nounced, already had been adopted by
the New York League of Free Nations
Association as well as the League to
Enforce Peace, was drafted by spe-
cial committee of which William II
Taft. president OF the League, was
chairman. other members of the
committee were A. Lawrence Lowell,

but suggested the princi-
,les merely as a basis for discussion

BETTER Method OF Farm Butchering

Better Method or Farm Butchcring.
The usual farm method of cutting
up a hog is to sever the ribs on each
side of the backbone, take out the
backbone, and split the carcass down
the middle. The ribs are taken out
before the sides are blocked" An
other method is to split with a saw
or cieaver as near the mid-line as
possible. Then divide each half in
to four parts, head, shoulder, middle
and hams. Remove the leaf if this
was not done before. Peel the leaf
backward with the fingers. starting
al the front end. The kidneys are in
this fat.
The head is generally removed be-
fore the carcass is split in halves.
Cut about an inch back sof the ears,
making a complete circle around the
head. If the cut does not happen to
strike the atlas joint. twist the head
and II will yield. The latest part of
the head can be used for lard and the
more fieshy parts may be used for
sausage or headcheese. The jowl is
sometimes used for cooking with
sauerkraut or baked beans and in the
spring with turnip greens.
One-half the carcass should be
placed on a cutting table and cut up.
Cut off the front foot about / inch
above the knee and the hind foot the
same distance above the hook. The
feet can be used to make picked pigs
feet or pigs feet jelly, The shoulder
cut is made between the fourth and
fifth ribs. Remove the ribs from the
shoulders, also the piece of backbone
which may be attached. Cut Loose
to the ribs in removing them, so as
to leave as much meat on the Shout
der as possible These are spare ribs
and make an excellent dish when
fried or baked. II only a small
amount Of cured meat rs desired, the
top Of the shoulder may be cut Off
about uno-third the distance from the
top and parallel to il. The fan of the
shoulder top may De used for lard
and tha lean meat for steak or roas.s.
II should be trimmed mp smoothly
