Deep Frying
Gives Liver
New Appeal
Proper Lard Temperature
Needed to Produce
Pleasing Dishes.
SEPT. Ia, 1884


Doughnuts. fritters. croquettes and
potatoes are common foods which
We fry in deep. hot lard. But. have
you ever prepared or eaten liver
which has been cooked by that
methOd2 II not. you have a treat IN
store Il you viii follow the sug-
Rcstions I make below.
Perhaps every woman does not
know that lard. with It's low cost
and digesubiiity. is a most desir-
able medium for deep fat frying.
one Of the reasons IL is an excellent
fat for this use. IS because Il can
be heated. without burning. 70 tenn
peratures high enough 20 cook all
the foods We fry in deep fat In
this process OF heating there is no
undesirable change in the lard's
favor or odor. and with the proper
care. lard can be used over and

Another desirable quality OF lard
for deep fat frying is that 10 has a
delicious nut-hke flavor which en-
hances the favor Of the foods fried

Bread Test for Frying
How can YOU tell when the lard
is the right temperature for frying
different kinds Of foods? How will
you know when IL is $50 degrees, for
example? The best way. of course.
Is with a deep fat thermometer. But
II YOU do not have a thermometer.
the best way is the bread test. The
following table gives the tempera-
lures as indicated by the bread test.
Cut 10 out and paste 1t in your COOK
book for handy reference.
Lard at $50 degrees Will brown a
cube of bread IN not less than one
minute
Lard at $50 degrees will brown a
cube Of bread in one minute.
Lard at 800 degrees Will brown a
cube Of bread in about forty sec
onds.
Never. never use the smoking
point as a gauge Of telling when
fat is hot enough. because smoking
fat is burning fat and burned fat
ruins the flavor Of the food cooked
IN 10, and IL is not so easy to digest.
II has been proved that properly
fried foods are not difficult of di-
gcstion. and the temperature is the
important consideration in proper
frying. There is an economy angle.
too. fat which is allowed to reach
the smoking point does not keep so
well as fat which is not allowed TO

for French fried liver suggests serv-

ego WOMEN ATTEND
CLOTHING MEETINGS
Hear Lessons on Using Clothing
on Hand at Redwood Falls,
Vesta, WabassO

Sixty hundred fifty women in Red
wood county were given practical in
formation on Making Use of Cloth
ing on Hand" at meetings Tuesday
Wednesday and Thursday by M. Lois
Reid, state clothing specialist from
the University Farm, st. Paul.
Three hundred twenty-five attended
the first sessions at Redwood Falls
Tuesday; approximately 200 attended
at Vesta, Wednesday and approx
mately 100 attended the Wabasso
meeting May 10 in spite of the severe
dust storm. Mrs. Edgar VIM was
in charge Of general arrangements
at Wabasso, Mrs. D. j. Mcconnell at
Vesta and Mrs. C. D. Clipfell at Red
wood Falls.
There are 470 women enrolled in
the clothing project in Redwood coun-
ty. These women invited their friends
and neighbors to the meetings to re-
ceive help on the second part Of the
clothing project from the state spec
ialist rather than from the local lead
ers as is the usual procedure.
Never before have homemakers
faced the necessity to stretch the
clothing dollar as they do now, Miss
Reid declared. According to survey
made by the Agricultural Economic
department of the university, it has
been found that where an average
family of five spent 1921 for clothing
from 1925-1930, only 500 was spent
during 1931-1932.
At the demonstration information
was given on Making the best use
of Clothing on Hand" by showing
correct methods of renovation, such
as washing silks and woolens, resiz-
ing silk and woolens, dry cleaning
garments, cleaning of furs, dyeing
and pressing material preparatory to
making them over into garments.
Miss Reid concluded the demonstra-
ton by emphasizing that the big pro-
blem in clothing the family in 1882 is
not "more money" for clothing, but
wise use "of the clothing on hand
and the knowledge of values when
purchasing.
