The Housewife's Work at
Hog-Killing Time.
The Progressive Farmer.
What splendid hams, shoulders,
sides, and jowls have been
made ready for the smoke h< u e
by the men on the farm and what
tubs of bones, trimmings, tat,
heads and feel are waiting for at
tentiou Irom the Housewife, lor i
we are tn the midst of liog-kill-j
ing! With what enthusiasm |
the housewife attacks the una'-j
tractive rrass, for she knows of
the potentialities which lie within.
Pounds and pounds of sausage,
pounds and pounds of lard,
dozens ot cakes of soap, moulds
of souse, and bowls of jelly, quarts
of crackling*, scrapple, and excellent
oil lie stored among these
and it is lor her the task ot transmutation.
I am speaking now
of a moderate killing, not one on
a large scale ; say a killing of
l'rom six to eight hogs. When
the killing is on an extensive
scale the management is different,
a9 I know by experience.
Lot's roll up [our sleeves then,
and set to work.

Trimmings should be divided
into three piles, 1 lean, fat, and
refuse fur soap. An excellent
proportion for the lean and the
fat in sausage is two-thirds loan,
one-third fat, and weighing the
meat is much more satibf tctory
than guess-work. The remain

A KING TIIK SAUSAGE SUPPLY.
The following is an excellent
recipe for sausage :
To ten (10) pounds of ground
meat put six (0) tablespoonfuls
of powdered sage, two (2) tablespoonfuls
black pepper, one (1)
teagpoonful powdered cayenne
pepper, three (3) tablespoonful
* 8alt. Mix thoroughly.
To make sausage successfully
you will need a meat grinder
and a stufTer. The Enterprise is
an excellent meat grinder and
number ten is the size well suit
ed to the ordinary f tmily. Of
the stuffer,or fiiler, as it is sometimes
called, size number one
is the one usu illy purchased.
After siuffing the sausage, leave
them ont of doors a tow days to
dry. and then hang ihern in tho
smoke house.

other fat. but dried out by itself.
The lard obtained bv squeezing
the cracklings is best put to itself
because it is never quite so white
as that poured from the crackling*
before squeezing.
'Tis true "a rose by any other
name would sm 11 as sweet," but
crackling-bread when passed
around as "greasy-bread" and
'datty bread" los^s its charm for
me. Crackling-bread is usually
made too greasy, but when pro
p< r!y made it i< cood and very
satisfying. The amount of ciaok
lines to a pone depends entirely
upon the greasiness of the crack
ling*, mor" ?>f the squeezed, of
course, being required than of
'he unsqueezed.
