In those days the anniversary of the

ways. A. good fat chicken stewed
will serve for several meals and is
not an expensive meat. The large
pieces of tat around the orient of the
fowl should be tried out carefully
in a slow uveu so the odor will pass
up the chtrurley instead of out into
the kitt•heu. This fat strained and
mixed with an equal amount of tat
or lard maks a a delicious firm fat for
frying. The pure cb.cken fat may be
used for cookies. It is used 1n the
same planner as butter and makes a
rich crisp cookie. Beef suet may be
tried out in the same way and mixed
with lard or vegetable fat to take
away the tallow -like consistency.
These iti.cd fats are not only much
better than pure lard for frying, but
cheaper, and pieces can be utilised
which would otherwise be thrown
a way.
When the fat used for deep tat try-
ing
rying becomes rancid or too dark to
use, it should be set away for soap
making. All pieces of salt pork or
trimming:, from ham should be add-
ed to this soap fat. In the spring
it should ho thoroughly washed to
remove the salt and sediment, and
then made Into soap. The cost of
