sTyHE percentage Of fat present in
the various kinds and cuts of
~ineat shows great variation. The
sslowest is 81 per cent, which is in
,s.shin beef, while the highest is in
Apork chops, which contain about SO
Aper cent. The high priced cuts, such
saas loin and ribs Of beef, contain from
go to 25 per cent.
= Now, if this fat is not eaten or
utilized for cooking purposes it adds
Ito the cost of the edible portion.
This fat, when clarified, may be used
lin place Of butter in cakes, puddings,
scookies and in pastries, and in pre-
Eparing the cheaper cuts.
x Save the fat from the pot roast,
sbacon, ham, sausage and the stock
kettle and use it for cooking vege-
stables.
How to Try Out Fat
2 Cut the fat into small pieces.
nPlace in kettle with sufficient cold
water to cover and bring slowly to
"a boil. Cook until the fat is well
srendered, using a potato masher to
epress the fat from the cracklings.
Strain through piece Of cheese
rcloth and set aside to cool. When
cold the fat will form into white
scake on the top of the water.
X 1t may then be remelted, poured
into container and stored. If the
pfat is rendered by this method there
will be no chance of burning, nor
will the odor of fat, while it is being
rendered, permeate the house.
SavOry Drippings
One cuptul Of lamb or mutton
drippings,
One-hat cupful Of bacon, ham or
sausage drippings,
One-hult cupful of beef d,fppi,,gs.
Place in a double boiler and heat
until well melted. Strain through a
piece Of cheese cloth into bowl and
use for making crusts, for meat pies
and sauteing.
Save every portion of leftover fat,
even after it is not available for fry
ing purposes. Purchase a can of
lye and then follow the directions
carefully for making soap for ordi-
nary household uses. 1t makes a
splendid securing agency. Two
quarts of soft soap and one can of
cleanser make a fine securing mix
ture. Mix we'll.
Pork
This title covers all the flesh prod
ucts of the fresh or cured pig OF
swine meats; generally we think Of
it in terms of bacon or ham. The
cuts are head, shoulder, back. ribs

Feed Cost Of Raising Heifers.

The Importance OF providing cheap
feed for growing heifers and practic-
ing thorough culling Is brought out by
the results OF feeding experiments re-
Gently completed by the dairy division,
department Of agriculture. In these .ex-
periments groups OF calves Were fed
from birth to one year and two years
Of age and a record kept Of all feed
consumed.
In one experiment, eleven heifer
calves were raised to the age Of one
year. The amount OF feed consumed
by each calf was as follows: Hay,
67l.s pounds; grain, 1858 pounds: ST.
lage. 1881 pounds; milk. i1e pounds;
skim milk. 2,iI4 pounds. Estimating
the hay ct $50 per ton, grain at $50
and silsge at IS per ton. milk at 4
cents and skim milk at Il cent per
pound, the cost OF raising each heifer
to one year Of age was $72.i2-
Five OF the calves from the first ex-
pertinent. were then fed fSr one more
year. During this second year each
calf consumed on the average Ll1I.s
pounds Of hay; 1915 pounds OF
grain; s,osl pounds Of silage. Using
the same figures for computing the
cost Of the feeds consumed during this
second year. the total cost Of raising
q heller from birth until two years OF
age was Sl57.ee. These figures en-
phasizs the necessity OF providing
cheap feed for heifers such as pasture
and silaEe. and bring out the import
ance Of carefully culling the heifers 10
avoid raising those which will prove TO
be inferior cows.

Daft Horse, Profitable.

With the return Of better horse prtc-
g, which seems an assured fact there
is everything to encourage the farmer
to produce high class heavy draft
horses. according to those who have
studied tho situation closely. He can
not possibly 60 wrong If he uses good
breeding animals and then feeds out
offspring properly. Breeders have
been decidedly slack the last two or
three years in taking care Of their stud
colts because they have not sold very
readily. particularly the ordinary kind.
Every breeder should erect grass;
paddocks to run his stud colts in so
that they can get plenty OF outdoor ex-
erctse, and an abundance Of blue grass
pasture. That Is what 1t takes to grow
bone and muscle and to develop good
wind and strong hooks that are clean.
THIS Is the only way to grow stallion
colts, properly. And farmers can han
die colts this way and they will be
the least amount Of trouble to him.
