SECRETS OF COOKING BACON
To Fry Until Thoroughly Delicious and
Crisp, Though Unburned, Is Not
Difficult.

Frying bacon so that it Is thorough
ly delicious and crisp, though I'M
burned, is not such a hard thing to
accomplish as has sometimes been
supposed. According to the office Of
home economics of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, it makes
no difference whether the cooking is
fast or slow, and to keep pouring eff
the fat as it tries out is more work
than is really necessary for a perfect
ly good result.
Frying bacon so that it is crisp is
chiefly a matter of getting the water
and excess fat out of it. In order not
to burn it, one should be very careful
that neither the bacon nor the fat in
the pan becomes Overheated. Through
out the process the fat should remain
a light brown color and should not be
allowed to get dark brown. 1t is
easier to COOK bacon slowly than to
cook it fast, because it is easier to
keep the fat a uniform pale color when
one takes plenty of time for the
task.
Bacon to be crisp does not need to
drain while it is cooking. 1t can even
be fried in deep fat with excellent re-
suits. After it is cooked and before
it is taken from the pan it should
be thoroughly drained while still hot ;
then it should be served at once.

REMEDY AGAINST LAWN ANTS
Entomologists Recommend Drenching
Nests With Boiling Water
or Using Kerosene.

To get rid of lawn ants entomolo-
gists of the United States Department
Of Agriculture suggest drenching the
nests with boiling water or pouring in
small quantity of kerosene Oil. Sim
liar treatment may be applied to nests
between or beneath paving stones.
Spraying the lawn with kerosene
emulsion or with very strong soap
wash is also recommended. For large
ant nests disulphid of carbon injected
into the nest by means of an oil can
or small syringe is recommended to
kill the ants. The fumes of disulphid
of carbon have a very disagreeble
odor and are fnhammable, but they
are not injurious to higher animals in
the open air.

of Agriculture.)
Six hundred and seventy thousand
rats were killed in the determination
drives in Texas last year. County
agents employed comparatively by the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, state agricultural colleges, and
the counties promoted many of the
campaigns with the help Of members
of local farm bureaus and chambers
of commerce and under the general
supervision of biological survey rodent
control specialists.
Some counties were divided into
zones and money was raised to be
given as prizes to men, boys, and

small pieces; do not peel if the rhu-
barb is young. Pour boiling water

very little bit of flour. Adding the
juice of half an orange improves the
flavor.

The most rats were killed in Den
ton county. The boy having the great
est number to his credit killed $4,000
in six weeks. In Williamson county
another boy killed 900 In two weeks.
1t is estimated that the rats aver
aged about a half a pound each, max
ing about 1877 tons of rats killed dur
ing the campaign. 1t is also estimated
that each rat, had it lived a year,
would on an average have eaten or dam
aged property worth S1.00, making the
results of the campaign worth approx
imately $670,0CO.
