Leaf fat, back strips, and fat trim
mings may be rendered together.
To obtain the best and clearest lard
1t Is necessary, first, to remove all
skin and lean meat from the trim
mings. To do this cut the fat into
strips about IN 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 and with the knife
held In the right hand inserted be-
tween the fat and the skin, pull the
skin. If the knife Is slanted down.
ward slightly, this will easily remove
the fat from the skin. The strips of
fat should then be cut into pieces and
hashed or ground.
To Render Fat Without Burnino.
When the fat is ready for render
ing, pour into the kettle about a quart
of water and fill it nearly full with
fat cuttings. The fat will then heat
and the grease will be brought out
without burning. Render the lard over
a moderate fire. At the beginning 1t is
best to have the temperature around
100 degrees f., and 1t should be grad
ually brought up to 24O degrees. When
the cracklings begin to brown reduce
the temperature to approximately 200
degrees, but not to exceed 212 de-
grees, to prevent scorching. Frequent
stirring Is necessary to prevent burn
ing.
When the cracklings are thoroughly
Drowned and light enough to float, the
kettle should be removed from the
fire. The lard is then pressed from
the cracklings. Then strain 1t through
a muslin cloth into the containers, and
to aid cooling stir it frequently. Stir
ring also tends to whiten tile product
and improve the grain, an important
point to consider If the lard is to be
sold.
Removing Lard From Containers.
In order to have the lard keep well
In the Jars that have been opened
for use it should he removed evenly
all the way across. Do not dig down
into the lard and take out large
scOopful, leaving well with lot of
surface exposed. A thin coating left
around the walls Of the containers is
almost sure to turn rancid because
of the action Of the air.
Lard is not hard product to han
die, but little extra care at butcher
ing time and in putting 1t away will
insure a product that will be better
than the kind the average man makes.
If you have customers for the sur
plus, this little difference, as in the
case of sausage, hams, and bacon, will
help greatly in building up and main
tanning a good demand.

Although lard Is often considered a
by-product, 1t is one Of the most i'm
portant Of the various foods to be
found within the well-stuffed hide Of
the fat hog. Fat makes up a high
percentage Of the dressed weight and,
therefore, a good deal of care should
be exercised in preparing and preserv-
ing the lard made from It.
Leaf Lard 10 Highest Grade.
Lard comes from various parts Of
the hog and the quality varies with its
source. The leaf or kidney fat that
clings to the back walls Of the abb
dOminal cavity yields the best grade
Of lard. Persons experienced In butch
ering remove these layers Of fat first
In order to facilitate cooling Of the
meat. The, removal Is best accom-.
plished by peeling the fat upward with
the fingers, beginning at the bottom.
The kidneys, which are In this fat, are
removed. The leaf fat is then hung up
to cool.
The fat on the intestines and the
membranes connecting them is known
rs "gut fat" 1t often has rahter
strong odor and is generally kept sep
arate from the other lard stock and
rendered by itself. 1t should be
thoroughly washed and left in cold
water for several hours before rem
dering.
The leaf fat makes the best lard,
but the back strip of the side also
makes a good quality, as do the trim
mings Of the ham, shoulder, and neck.

PRICES OF PRODUCTS
VARY WITH SEASONS
Impossible to Make a Definite
Statement on Cost.
About Two Ounces Of Protein In One
Pound Of Meat and Same Amount
in Eight Eggs-Pcund Of Cheese
Yields Four Ounces.

prepared by the United States Department
Of Agriculture.)
Prices vary so much with place and
season that definite statements about
the cost of different materials are out
of the question, say food economists
Of the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t Is possible, however,
to reckon how much one may pay ut
current prices for one material, say
milk. eggs, or cheese. in order to OBJ
tain protein as cheaply as from an
other material, say meat at so cents
pound.
A pound Of meat, medium fat, with
an average amount of refuse (bones,
trimmings, etc.), supplies about 2
ounces of protein. Eight eggs yield
practically the same amount. If eggs
cost 72 cents dozen, 4S cents worth
will furnish about as much protein as
so cents worth of meat. In other
words. eggs at 72 cents dozen are a
little cheaper as source of protein
than meat at so cents a pound.
In the same way It may be reckoned
that milk. which contains about l
ounce Of protein to the quart. might
cost 12h cents a quart and provide
protein at one-half the expense Of
meat containing the same amount at
so cents a pound.
A pound of whoic-milk cheese con-
tains about ounces Of protein or a
LITTLE moro than twice oS much os
most meat, so that 1t might cost twice
as much as meat and still be as eco
nomical source Of protein. If, as Is
often the case, it costs less than meat,
its protein is, Of course. more than
twice as cheap.
