Brick Used in America
When Spaniards Came

America is not without its brick an
tiquities, for the Spanish conquista-
dores found crude but excellent adobe
brickwork in Peru and Mexico, and
further developed it in their settle
ments.
In the North American colonies.
which very naturally followed Euro
pean, especially English. practice, the
first brick houses were built of ma
terial brought from Holland or Eng
land; but in Virginia, as early as 1911.
and in Massachusetts as early as 1929.
the domestic industry was established.
The colonial days produced fine types
of brick architecture from New Eng
land to Virginia. In the Nineteenth
century. however, up to about 1880,
American brick building was largely
confined to the use of common brick
for ordinary construction or for back
ing stone-faced walls.

/ think there are no others of any
considerable Importance. The largest
is, of course, the carlton of 50 bells
presented by Mr. Rockefeller to his
church on Fifth avenue. New York.
There are no others anywhere near
this number of bells as yet. AT
Gloucester, Mass, is a good set of
bells, think 35 in number. Another.
though perhaps of lesser number, is
located at Cohasset, Mass. There is
a fine carillon at Morristown, n. J.,
which, I believe, is presently to be
increased to 80 bells. and a smaller
one of like quality at Birmingham.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The canning of meats on the farm
has become one of the most important
methods of food preservation. Only
meats that have been freshly killed
and cleanly handled should be pre-
served in this way. The United States
Department of Agriculture recon-
mends that the steam pressure Gamer
should always be used. high tenn
perature of $50 degrees Fahrenheit,
equivalent to steam pressure Of 10
pounds per square inch, is required to
sterilize meats properly and prevent
spoilage.
In selecting a pressure Gamer the
following points should be carefully
checked: A pressure Gamer should
be strongly built and the top should
clamp on tightly so that there is no
leakage of steam when it is closed.
There must be an air outlet with pet
cock and the top should be equipped
with pressure gauge, thermometer,
and safety valve Since the temper
ature Is a measure of the pressure, it
is ordinarily assumed that one can be
interpreted in terms of the other 1t
is better, however, to have both
gauge and a thermometer, for the one
serves to check the accuracy of the
other. In size pressure Gamer
should be suited to the kind of con-
tainers and the probable number to
be handled at one time. In case the
Gamer must be lifted on and off the
stove during canning, it is also i'm
portant that it should not be too
heavy.
Directions for Canning.
After slaughtering, the meat may be
prepared for canning as soon as the
animal heat has disappeared. The di-
rections below are given for canning
roast pork, but they may be applied
to similar cuts Of beef or lamb. The
meat should always be cooked and sea-
soned before it is canned-whether it
is roasted, fried, baked, or stewed-
just as though for immediate serving,
so that the flavor will be retained. 1t
need not be cooked tender but it
should be cooked until the center is
no longer red. Pack the meat as hot

NeuU Dessert Combination
Fauored in New England

Ice cream served with hot Indian
pudding may be new idea to many
people, but it is favorite combination
in New England, and is worth trial
anywhere. Use vanilla ice cream and
make the pudding in the following
way, recommended by the United
States Department of Agriculture:
Indian Pudding
S cupfuls milk teaspoonful of
1-3 cupful of corn salt
meal / teaspoonful OF
h cupfu1 molasses ginger
Cook the milk and meal in double
boiler 20 minutes; add the molasses.
salt, and ginger; pour into a buttered
pudding dish and bake two hours in
slow oven. This serves about eight
persons. The ice cream may be placed
on the same plate with the pudding, or
served in separate saucer. If ice
cream is not used, serve the pudding
with cream.

as possible. Remove all bones and fill
up the jar or can with hot gravy
stock. SO that the sterilization period
will not be longer than necessary.
Either glass jars or tin cans may be
used for canning meats. Full direc-
tions for each step in the process in
either case will be found in Farmers
Bulletin 1856, "Pork on the Farm
and also recipes for preparing the vari-
Gus parts of the hog in different ways
for canning The fiavoring and pro-
portions in these recipes may be varied
to suit individual taste, but the length
of time and temperature for the
processing period Of each meat or mix
ture should never be changed.
How to Can Roast Pork.
The ham, shoulder or loin Of pork
is generally used for roasting. Scrape
the skin clean and wipe it with damp
cloth. If the ham is used and the skin
is left on, cut with the point of a
knife just through the skin so as to
dice it, and trim with cloves and tufts
of parsley if desired. Salt and pepper
to taste should be sprinkled over the
ham. Heat in a roasting pan from
two to three tablespoonfuls of grease.
Put in the roast when this is hot and
scar it quickly all over to seal the
pores and prevent loss of the juice of
the meat Add two small turnips to
the roasting pan and from one-half to
one cupful of boiling water. Leave
skin side up and do not turn, but
baste frequently When cooked through
and nicely Drowned, slice and pack in
cans or jars to within one-half inch OF
the top of the can. Add the gravy
from the roasting pan, or soup stock,
so that it barely covers the meat.
There must be at least One-quarter
inch space between the gravy and the
top Of the can. Close the can or jar,
and process in the steam pressure
cooker. No. 2 cans or pint jars are
procesSed for 45 to so minutes at $50
degrees Fahrenheit or Is pounds of
steam pressure. No. cans or quart
jars from 80 to 60 minutes at the same
pressure. In case the meat is fat time
for processing must be prolonged 10
minutes.
