ent ways for canning. The f1avoring
and proportions 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 mixture should never be
changed.
Piece for Roasting.
In the case of pork, the ham, shout
der or loin is generally used for roast
ing. 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 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
roasting pan from two to three table,
spoonfuls 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 haste 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. Close the
can or jar, and process it in the steam
pressure cooker. No. 2 cans or pint
jars are processed for 45 to fifty min
utes at $50 degrees Fahrenheit or Is
pounds of steam pressure. No.
cans or quart Jars from 80 to GO min
utes at the same pressure. In case
the meat is fat, time for processing
must be prolonged 10 minutes.

CANNING SURPLUS
CHICKEN AT HOME
Using Birds From, Poultry
Flock Is Good Practice.
prepared by the United States Department

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Canning the surplus birds from the
home poultry flock Is oftentimes an
economical practice. Either young or
old birds may be canned by home
methods. Plump well-fed hens two
years old have as good texture and
better flavor when canned than six
months old chickens.
Prepare the chicken for canning as
you would for cooking. Pick, SINCE,
remove pin feathers, and wash the
birds. Then disjoint and cut them in
the usual pieces, and discard the en-
trails. Remove and discard the oil
sac and the lungs and kidneys, and
do not use the giblets and eggs for
canning. Be particularly careful not
to break the gall bladder. If this
does happen, do not use that chicken
for canning because it will have q
very unpleasant taste. Trim off any
large pieces of fat. If there is a
great deal of fat in the jar, 1t is like
ly to cook out on the rubber ring dur
Ing the processing and may cause it
to slip, thus spelling the seal. Cut
the white meat in large pieces from
the breast bone and shoulders. Leave
the meat on the bones in the other
pieces. Gut the neck off close to the
body, and use it and the other very
bony pieces, such as the back and per-
haps the feet, after they have been
skinned, for making broth to fill up
the Jars. Cover these bony pieces
with lightly sailed cold water, bring
to the boil, and simmer for Is min.
utes to make this broth.
Chicken should be packed hot into
hot, clean jars. 1t may be prepared
for packing in either of two ways.
Simmer the pieces of chicken in
small quantity of water until it is
boiling hot all through. Or scar the
pieces in hot fat until they are golden
brown, and then pour hot broth over
them and let them heat through to
boiling temperature. Do not roll the
meat in flour before cooking, because
this makes it more difficult to process
effectively.
Pack the pieces of hot chicken in
pint jars Put some white and some
dark meat into each jar, or pack all
the white meat into separate jars if
desired for some special use. Be
sure, however, not to get so close a
pack that the broth cannot circulate
freely in the jar. Two four-pound
birds, when cut up and cooked ready
for packing into the jars, will fill five
PIT Jars. Add half teaspoonful Of
salt to each pint jar and enough boil
ing broth to cover the meat. Adjust
the rubber rings and covers and seal
the Jars.
Place the hot-packed jars immedi-
ately in a pressure Gamer, and proc
ess for one hour at Is pounds pres
sure, or $50 degrees Fahrenheit Be
gin to count time when the pressure
gauge registers Is pounds, not before.
When the hour is up, allow the can
ner to cool until the gauge registers
zero before opening the pet cock.

Younger Indians Turn
From, Faith of Fathers

Sixty or seventy years ago the Fox
Indians of Iowa began the acquisition
of the English alphabet from mission
aries. They learned a method of
writing their own language by means
of the English alphabet, separating
their words into syllables. Since
there is only a rough conformity be-
tween the characters as employed by
the Fox Indians and the ACTUAL
sounds, it is necessary to restore the
phonetics of any Fox text so that the
symbols may correctly represent them.
DR.. Truman Nicholson, of the Smith
sonian Institutions Bureau OF Ameri-
can Ethnology, has been foremost in
this work of collection and restor-
alton.
Doctor Nicholson, whose work has
made him the foremost authority on
the Fox Indians, describes their rit-
uals as consisting mainly of eating,
dancing and prayer. AS Is natural
with primitive. people, their prayers
invite material benefits such as long
life, freedom from disease, that the
chiefs village should be strong enough
to resist it's enemies, and that no foe
should even be permitted to gossip
against the village.
According to Doctor Nicholson, the
younger generation now turn these
once serious ceremonies into occa-
sions for amusement. Up to some 10
years ago the tribe was so conServ-
ative as to resist education, but 1t has
since grown progressive and all the
young Indians are anxious to 60 to
school. The tribe are good farmers
and compete with the whites In the
state agricultural fairs.

In these days of wholesome canned
foods it is not profitable for one to
buy pumpkins for pies unless they
can be had very cheaply. A can of
pumpkin will make two pies, it is all
ready to use, saves the time of prep
aration and cooking of the pumpkin
and tastes almost as good. Cooking
down pumpkin until 1t is almost dry
and of a rich color makes 1t much bet
ter favored. This may be done with
the commercially canned pumpkin.

Cocoa Should Be "Cacao"?

Chocolate is made from the large
nutritive seeds Of beans Of the cacao
tree, small evergreen tree indigenous
to tropical America Formerly all
chocolate came from tropical America,
but now the Gold Coast, in Africa, is
the largest producer of cacao. There
is much popular confusion in connec-
ton with the words coco, cocoa and
cacao.
The original name of the tree was
cacao and that form is retained in
German, Spanish and French But in
DR.. Samuel Johnson's dictionary It
was spelled cocoa. 1t probably was
an error, but at any rate the spelling
now is the accepted form in English.
The cacao has no relation to coconut
palms. There is also small shrub
that grows in South America called
the coco.-Pathfinder Magazine.

GOOD RECIPE FOR

The days that followed were agony

Ethel led Everett to the tennis court
and they played enthusiastically,
while Hulda. who had the misfortune
to turn her ankle, looked on. Eve

graph and taught Everett new steps
while Hulda pretended not TO see.
There came a day when Hulda
knew two things certainly--she loved
Everett and she was never going to
be able to have him. He had tired
of her in the long years she had
kept him waiting. She was no longer
the woman of his dreams. one
younger and fairer had supplanted
her. 1t was her own fault. But oh,
the pity of it that after long pursuing
of an imaginary ideal Everett en-
bodied that very ideal.
That day a telegram came for Ethel
from her father. He wanted her to
return Immediately. She made no
explanation, but in an hour she was
gone. leaving Hulda to pack the
trunk and send it after her. Hulda's
feelings were indesCribahle as she
conscicntiously slowed away the brief,
colorful silks, Woolens and chiffons
that had MADE her niece SO radiant
during her short stay.
