The Board OF Education in session

expended balance OF the board, together
with the anticipated receipts from the
State treasury and that OF the sppro-
priation made for the Board by City
Council, to be s435 59Oei. The commit
tee recommended that the amount be
appropriated by the board and expen-
ditures made according to the sub
mitted itemized list. The report sets
out the following items:

bacon. If it is very large side, it
may be cut in two pieces. Trim all
sides and edges as square as possible
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 posi-
bic, because the curing hardens it. All
lean trimmings should be saved for
sausage and fat trimmings for lard.
The other half of the carcass should
be cut up in similar fashion.
Meat and Fat Trimmings.
After the carcass has been cut up
and the pieces are trimmed and shaped
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 lean and
used for lard. The meat should be cut
into convenient pieces to pass through
the grinder.

Wholesome Meat.

A large amount Of fat is not essen
tial to wholesome meat and it is far
more important that an animal be in
good health than that it be extremely
fat.
Never kill an animal that is losing
flesh" is a maxim that is followed by
butchers, and observation points to a
logical reason. When an animal is fail
ing in flesh the muscle fibers are
shrinking in volume and contain cor
respondingly less water. AS a conse-
auence the meat is tougher and dryer.
When an animal is gaining in flesh
the opposite condition obtains and a
better quality of meat is the result.
Also, a better product will be obtain
ed from an animal in only medium
flesh but gaining rapidly than from a
very fat animal that is at a standstill
Or that is losing flesh.

RENDERING Lard.

The leaf lard is of the best quality.
The back strip of the side also makes
good lard, as do the trimmings Of the
ham, shoulder and neck. Intestinal
or gut fat is an inferior grade and is
best rendered by itself. It should be
thoroughly washed and left in cold
water for several hours before render
ing, which will partially eliminate the
offensive odor. Leaf lard, back strips
and lard trimmings can be rendered
together. If the gut fat is included,
the lard takes on very offensive odor.
First, remove all skin and lean meat
from the lard trimmings. To do this
cut the lard into strips about ~
inches wide, then place the strip on
the table, skin down, and cut the fat
from the skin. When a piece Of skin
large enough to grasp is freed from
the fat, take it in the left hand, knife
held in the right hand inserted between
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 ~
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 a moder-
ate fire. When starting the tempera-
ture should be about 100 degrees f.
and should be run up to 1875 degrees F.
Frequent stirring is necessary to pre-
vent 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 crack
ling bread or feed them to the chick
ems. 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 it through q mus
lin cloth into the containers.

Use Fat Trimmings for Lard and Lean
for Sausage-ln Trimming for Ba-
con, Keep Sides as Square
as Possible.

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 midIine. The ribs are taken out
before the sides are "blocked." An
other method is to split with a saw
or cleaver as near the mid line as pos
sible. Then divide each half into four
partS-head, shoulder, middle and
hams, as shown in accompanying illus
tration. Remove the leaf if this was
not done before. Peel the leaf back
ward with the fingers starting at the
front end. The kidneys are in this
fat.
The head is generally removed be-
fore the carcass is split into halves.
Cut about an inch back of the ears,
making a complete circle around the
head. If the cut does not happen tc
strike the atlas Joint, twist the head
and it will yield. The latest part of
the head can be used for lard and the
more fleshy parts may be used for saul
sage or headcheese. The joWl is some
times used for cooking with sauer-
kraut or baked beans and in the spring
with turnip green's.
Cutting Up Carcass.
One-half the carcass should be
placed on a cutting table and cut up.
Cut off the front foot about 1 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 close to
the ribs in removing them, so as to
possible. These are "spare ribs" and
make an excellent dish when fried or
baked. If only a small amount of
cured meat is desired, the top of the
shoulder may be cut off about one-third
the distance from the top and parallel
to it. The fat of the shoulder top may
be used for lard and the lean meat for
steak or roastS. 1t should be trimmed
up smoothly. The fat trimmings Should
be used for lard and the lean trim
mings for sausage.
Removing the Ham.
The ham is removed from the middle
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 otherwise be trimmed off
the ham and used for sausage. Re-
move the ribs from the side, cutting
as close to the ribs as possible. The
loin and fatback are cut off in one
piece; cut parallel with the back just
below the tenderloin muscle on the
rear part of the middle. Remove the
fat on the top of the loin, but do not
cut into the loin meat. The lean meat
is used for chops or roasts and the fat
back for lard. The remainder of the
middle should then be trimmed for
