and the extractives from meats or
vegetables can easily be kept and
utilized. Some fiavors are better re-
tanned In the tightly closed cooker. 1t
Is a good idea when planning to use
the pressure cooker for preparing a
meal, to put as many articles as pos
sible into the cooker at once.
The meat will usually require the
longest time. The vegetables should
be put in about Is minutes before the
meat is expected to be ready to serve.
Some experience Is necessary to en-
able the housewife to judge the length
of time for any given dish.
Stewed and boiled meats which are
cooked in the pressure cooker often
have a richer flavor than those cooked
over the stove. The problems of cook
ing meat in the pressure cooker are
those incident to finding the proper
length of time for which a piece Of
meat Of given size, shape and tough
ness needs to be cooked. The rate at
which the heat penetrates to the CEN
ter Of the piece of meat and the
amount Of heat necessary to soften
the connective tissues must be con-
sidered
1t is easier to cook meat in the
pressure cooker If the meat Is cut
into rather small pieces. than If it be
In one large piece. Heat can then be
applied for shorter time with less
danger of rendering the outer parts Of
the meat tough, hard or dry. Proc
essing at 10 to Is pounds pressure
Is usually necessary when tough meat
Is In thick, compact mass. When
the meat is cut into pieces it is not
timed by the pound but by It's tough
ness. The usual rule Is to process 30

How to Cook Pudding.
Steamed puddings made Of batter or
dough may be cooked In the pressure
cooker, but II is better to divide the
pudding into small portions or indi-
vidual molds. This allows a more
rapid heat penetration, quicker ex-
pansiOn. and reduces the time of cook
ing. 1t may be advisable, also, during
the first part of the cooking period. to
keep the petcock wide open, and even
to prop the cover up so that II fits
loosely, In order that the rate Of
cooking shall not be too rapid. When
the pudding has risen well the lid may
be clamped down and the pressure
brought SLOWLY to Is pounds for 10 or
Is minutes.
Before attempting to remove the
lid of the cooker be sure that the
pointer of the dial is at zero. If the

USE LARGEST PIECES
WHEN CURING MUTTON
1t will BE as Delicious as Any
Ham or Bacon.
Bureau Of Animal Industry Recon-.
mends That Meat Be Thoroughly
Cooled, but Never Frozen
Two Successful Methods.

| prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
The average farmer seldom thinks of
curing mutton as he thinks Of curing
pork for future use but, says the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, 1t is possible to cure and smoke
mutton that will be as delicious as any
ham or bacon. The practice, says the
department, should result in increasing
the consumption Of this meat which at
the present time is only $50 per cent of
the total meat used in the United
States.
One reason that the average family
tires of mutton and develops q preiu.
dice against 1t Is that when q sheep is
killed 1t has been the habit to eat all
the meat while fresh. Naturally, O
diet of fresh lamb or mutton to the
exclusion of other meats for many
days Is apt to cloy the appetite.
AS result of the experimental work
done by the bureau of animal indus
try, the following recommendations
are made for curing mutton Cool the
meat thoroughly but never freeze 1t,
either before or during curing. Begin
the curing process from "a to SO hours
after killing. Because Of high shrink
age in curing, only large pieces, such
as legs and shoulders, are suitable for
this use. A brine formula may be
used, but dry-cured meat requires less
work and keeps better. Both methods
are successful, If the work is carried
out properly. In making the dry cure,
for each 100 pounds of meat use seven
pounds Of salt, three pounds of sugar
or sirup, two ounces saltpeter, two
ounces red pepper and three ounces
black pepper. The meat, after these
ingredients thoroughly mixed have
been applied, should be packed away
in box or on table. A day and a
half for each pound Of the average
weight Of the pieces is the right time
to leave the meat in cure. When that
period has elapsed, hang the pieces in
the smokehOuse and smoke.

In canning meats, chicken, fish,

seven communities organized

hen. In addition to the 722
chickens, which brought $735.20
cash, number of premiums
were offered by business men,
