The need to conserve butter and vegetable fats in cooking has resulted in the more extensive use of fat which has been rendered and clarified at home. There are many sources of suitable animal fat beef, pork, poultry and soup bones. The dripping from lamb, mutton and sausage is not generally recommended because of its characteristic flavour. Salvaged fat can be used suc­ cessfully for frying liver, fish, pota­ toes, onions or green tomatoes; and for greasing baking pans. It can­ not be used indiscriminately in bak­ ing, but there are many recipes in which it can be substituted for butter or shortening — ginger­ bread, applesauce cake, spiced 'fruit cake, spiced drop cookies, pancakes and bran muffins. Rendered chick­ en fat may be used in cream sauces, biscuit toppings, casseroles and meat pies. Fatty pieces of raw meat should be rendered in a double boiler. To clarify fat: (1) A surprising amount of the meat flavour can be removed by slicing a potato into the fat and heating until the potato is browned. Then strain fat and store in a covered container. (2) Fat may be more thoroughly clari­ fied by the following method: Measure it into a preserving, kettle and add 2 cups of water for each cup of fat. Boil the mixture for one hour, remove from electric element, strain and cool. When cold, lift the cake of fat from the top. Scrape off any sediment that may have collected on the bottom of the fat, then reheat either in a double boil­ er or a low oven until any excess water has evaporated. Store in a cool, dry place. In straining fat, we substitute a paper napkin in a sieve for the usual cheesecloth; no greasy cloth to wash. Dripping from spiced meats such as flavoured sausages should be separated from dripping yielded 3 tbsps. brawn sugar, % ■ tbsp, corn starch, % tsp, cin­ namon, 2 eggs (slightly beat­ en), cup Mix put in of hot degs.) iy2 cups scalded milk, % cooked pumpkin. all ingredients together and greased mould.

Milbum Co., Limited, Toronto, Ont, Two Harvester Types We were told that the two harvesters being tested that were the only ones in Ontario were operated by the .Agricultural Research Department of the Sugar Company. One type topped the beet in the ground then lifted and piled it in one neat Windrow and the tops In another. Only one row was done at a time but the beets from six tows were all piled in one wind­ row. The second machine was a little more complicated, lifting the beet first then grasping it by the tops and passing it through the re­ volving knives, The same machine then- elevated the beet from the knives into an accompanying truck. We thought the machine that top­ ped the beets in the ground was doing a better job because windrow of beets looked just hand work. The demonstration would have been enough but they pulled still another- stunt from their bag of tricks. This one was a loader that lifted the windrowed beets into a rather fast moving truck. Nothing very new about this loader, we thought, but that was before we saw the rate it was getting, the beets into the truck—one ton a minute. Three Acres a Day The harvester we saw was easily able to do three acres of beets per day but since the demonstration I have read that they do more than that in California. I however, the fields wide headlands, are very common, quarters of the acreage is done with beet combines.
