CANNING SURPLUS CHICKEN

prepared by the United States Department
of Agricuture.)
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 ana
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 Gu: 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
very unpleasant taste Trim off any
large pieces of fat. If there is a
great deal of fat in the jar, it is like
ly to cook out on the rubber ring dur
ing the processing and may cause ii
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. Cut 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 10 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 a
small quantity of water until 1t 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 nor roll the
meat in flour before cooking, because
this makes 1t 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 SD 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
pint jars. Add half teaspoonfu CT
salt to each pint jar and enough boil.

CHINESE EMBROIDERY IS
FEATURED ON BLOUSE, BAG

need be said, for the picture tells its
own story.
The idea of the all-over embroid-
ered blouse is being worked. out in
beautiful form, for the velvet two
piece frock. Fascinating models fea-
lure the blouse, which is of tire same.
velvet as the skirt, with skilIful en-
broidery bordering hipline, wrists and
about the neckline, extending up and
down semi-front opening. Little re-
peat designs are scattered over the
entire tunic. One such, recently dis
played. is of almost green sheer velvet.
The motifs and borders are done in
oriental colorings which are intermil-
gled with gold and silver threadwork.
In the present vogue for the en-
broidered blouse the home dressmak-
er with an artistic turn of mind
should find inspiration for designing
costumes which shall carry the dis.
tinction Of fine handwOrk.
The all-over repeat design is one
way of accomplishing unique effect.
Perhaps it may be just simple rose
bud motif scattered here and there
or conventional patterning. or as
is very effective, a single flower spray
across the front of the blouse.
The blouse starred all over with
tiny gold or silver nailheads is also
very modish. A black satin frock
whose skirt is plated or draped
takes on a smart appearance if its
blouse be thus polka-dottcd with metal
nailheads. With this wear a narrow
satin belt which has been solidly en-
crusted with the nailheads--the effect
IS stunning.
Now that oriental embroideries are
so featured in the mode, one can pick
up lovely specimens of japanese and
Chinese handiwork, in the form of
panels and squares. These can be in
set in the velvet or satin blouse with
extreme effectiveness.
Another clever way is to set the
embroidery pieces lin with fagoting
which is done with gold thread.

feel.

Onlys meats that have been freshly
killed and Clearly handled should he
preserved in this way. The United
States Department Of Agriculture
recommends that the steam pressure

high temperature of $50 degrees,
equivalent to a steam pressure of Is
pounds per square inch, is required
to sterilize meats properly and pre-

After slaughtering, the meat may
be prepared for canning as soon as
the animal heat has disappeared. The
directions below are given for can

piled to similar cuts of beef or lamb.
