PECTIN EXTRACT HAS MANY COOKING USES Lemon or Orange Best for Mak ing Clear Amber Jelly. (Prepared i>y the united State# Department of Agriculture.) Many fruit Juices that do not ordi narily make successful jelly may be Jellied by the use of pectin extracts. Lemon or orange pectin extract is bet ter to use than apple pectin extract j when a clear amber Jelfy is desired from such Juices as pineapple, orange, lemon or grapefruit Even with rhu barb, apple pectin extract often pro duces a dark, cloudy Jelly instead of the transparent, brightly-tinted product j which may be secured by the use of I the practically colorless orange or lemon pectin. Thick-skinned oranges and lemons ; are best to use for this purpose. The fruit should be washed and wiped dry ; and the outer yellow rind, which j would Impart an undesirable flavor, j should be carefully pared off, using a | silver or glass knife, or a steel blade which does not stain. It is easier to remove this rind before the fruit Is rut than afterward*. After the yellow akin Is removed the white peel is cut off In as large pieces as possible, care being taken that none of the fruit pjilp adheres to It. If as much as one-half pound of peel Is collected at one time, the ex traction of the pectin may be made at once. If, however, the pdel Is col lected from time to time in small amounts, It can be dried and kept either until there is a sufficient Quan tity to make the process of extraction practical, or until the Jelly is to be made. It must be so carefully dried that all discoloration is prevented, otherwise the flavor will not be good. Convenient quantities to use are : one pound fresh white peel, and two quarts of water. Put the fresh ^>eel through a meat grinder, using the coarse blade, then place It In a granite saucepan large enough to permit rapid boiling, cover It with the water and allow it to stand for one or two hours. Just before be ginning to heat, measure the depth of the material in the pan, by standing a silver knife or spoon handle upright i in 1L Boll rapidly until the volume is reduced to a little less than one-half | of the original, measure the depth as j before. Strain through four thick nesses of cheesecloth and allow to j stand until dripping Is complete. The dripping may be hastened a little by pressing the mass lightly with a spoon. Two more extractions are made in the same way, adding two quarts of water to the pomace each time. It Is j not necessary, however, to allow the pomace and water to stand for an hour before heating, as It was in making the first extraction. Mix the three extractions together. If the peel has been cooked according to the directions given, a little less rhan one pint of strained liquid should be obtained as a result of each extrac tion, and the total amount from a pound of peel should be about two and one-half pints. The lemon pectin ex tract obtained in this way is Suffi ciently concentrated for use. Better results are obtained with the orange pectin if the combined extracts are concentrated by boiling until the yield to *educ*& to t4o pfints, W!r the liquid constantly during the boiling, since there 1* considerable danger of scorching. The extract from lemon peel Is a thick, somewhat slrupy liquid having a pale sediment and no very pro nounced flavor. The extract from orange peel Is thinner In consistency. Pectin extracts should always be shaken before using, as the sediment contains much pectin. Citrus-pectin extract prepared la this way does not always keep so well as does the more acid apple-pectin extract. Process In a steam pressure cooker at 10 degrees for 10 minutes. Small con tainers are advisable, so that when a Jar is opened all of the contents may be used at once and none need be lost by spoilage. COOK BEEF AND CALF HEARTS Should Appear Occasionally on Family Menu Because of Variety and Economy. Beef and calf hearts are most pala table when properly prepared, and, for the sake of variety as well as econo my, since they are among the less ex pensive meats, they should occasion ally appear on the family menu. Beef hearts are tougher than calf hearts, and must be given long cooking, calf hearts may either be cooked very quickly, as when they are sliced and fried, or given long, slow cooking, in the same way beef heart Is prepared. For the latter dish, wash either kind of heart thoroughly Inside and out, J says the United States Department of Agriculture. Stuff it with a mixture of j broken or crumbed bread from the cen- i ter of the loaf, butter or other fat, salt, I pepper and chopped onion. About one cupful of bread to one small onion Is j a good proportion, and sufficient to ( stuff a beef heart. As calf hearts are i so much smaller, several will be need- j ed, and the same amount of stuffing ; can be made to do for two or three j hearts. Sew up the opening. Cover j the heart or hearts with water and j simmer until tender, or boll for ten j minutes and cook In the flreless cooker j for six or eight hours. Remove from j the water about one-half hour before j serving. Dredge with flour, pepper and i salt, or sprinkle with crumbs, and brown In the oven. Serve with a gravy j made from the water in which the m^at was cooked. SIMMERING MUTTON IS BEST Important for Cook to Remember That "Boiled" Meat Should Never Come to Boil. ; An important thing to be remem bered Is that "boiled" meat should not boll, but simmer, says the United States Department of Agriculture. Prepare a leg or shoulder or lamb, or mutton, for cooking. Have ready a large kettle containing enough boiling water to cover the meat. Lower the meat Into the water, taking care that It Is entirely submerged. Bring the water again to the boiling point, then place kettle where water will simmer, as shown by continued motion on one side of the kettle. Continue the sim mering until the meat is tender, from an hour aqd a half to two hours for lamb and from two to three hours for mutton. While cooking add to the wa ter salt, pepper and any other season ings liked. WHICH GAS BURNER TO USE AND WHY Giant, Simmering and Standard Burpers. (Prepared by the United State* Department of Afrtcnlture.) Save gas by depending largely on the simmering bnrner. Use the med ium-sized or standard burner to start water boiling or food cooking; then continue the cooking over the simmer ing burner. After food or water has reached the boiling point, it will con tinue to cook at that temperature with a very small application of heat, and most cereals, vegetables, gravies or meats which require long, slow cook ing can be finished on the simmering burner with a minimum consumption of gas. The simmerer should never soot or smoke the bottom of the uten sil above It, even when turned low. It should be used, as often as possible. Putting two simmering burners on a stove may even be found an economy. The giant or largest burner should only be used when absolutely neces sary, either to concentrate some food rapidly by violent boiling, without re gard to gas consumption, or when a food is being cooked in a saucepan with a very large bottom The giant burner uses from one-third to one-half more gas than other burners. Turn to Lowest Point. Any burner in use should be turned j down to the lowest possible point which will maintain the temperature of the boiling point as soon as boil ing begins. To leave the burner turned high throughout the boiling process, Is to waste gas. Tests made j on various gas stoves by the United ; States Department ?of Agriculture have shown that fully one-half the gas used in any one day's cooking with the gas turned high or on full, may be saved by turning the gas down as quickly as possible. When the medium-sized star burner uses 12 to 14 cubic f#>t of gas per hour, the giant burner, It was found, used 18 cubic feet, and the sim mering burner used about three tc four cubic feet. The ordinary and giant burners can be turned down to keep food boiling while consuming not more than three cubic feet of gna per hour, and the slmmerer can be sc turned down that it uses only hall that amount of ga*. i LIVE stock*": NEWS Indigestion in Horses Result of Poor Feeding Digestive troubles in the horse are often the result of injudicious feeding and watering, especially durirfg the hot ' summer months when the horse is do ! Ing a full quota of work. It must be i remembered that if the horse is tired i out and exhausted his stomach and other internal organs are in the same condition and are not in a fit state to start to do their work, which is the proper digestion and assimilation of 1 the food taken in by the animal. Lf the i stomach is unable to perform its work : in a normal manner and a large feed of oats is given it can easily be under stood that the results are apt to be dis astrous and lead to severe colics which l often have a fatal ending. Many colics are due to feeding immediately the horse comes in from a hard spell of work and when he is heated and tired I out. Being hungry, he starts in to eat I rapidly, with the result that the stom ach becomes overloaded and unable to handle the food. In a short time the horse shows signs of pain and restless ness and the farmer has on his hands a very sick animal. If the horse is ex hausted, allow him only a mouthful of water and feed a/ sloppy bran mash, which is easy of digestion, but the oats I and hay must be withheld until the animal is cooled and been well rubbed down. By that time, under the ir.flu j ence of the bran mash, the stomach I will have recovered its tone and be in a fit state to digest the regular rations. Iiidigestion in colts may result from I the irritation of teething, from the re moval of the dam at too early an age, or sucking when the dam is heated or has been too long a time parted from the foal. In older animals indigestion may be due to defective teeth, debility of the stomach ; Improper and irregular feeding are also common causes. Indi | gestion with engorgement arises from ravenous eating, tilling the stomach to an excessive degree. In ordinary cases of chronic indiges tion first examine the teeth, and re move the cause of irritation from them ; next carefully consider the diet the horse is fed, and see that it is mod erate in quantity, nutritious and of fered at regular intervals, and when I these are done It will be time to think ' rf medicines. Generally, it will be advisable to give a mild purge of oil with ginger, fol lowed by a tonic made of bicarbonate of soda and powdered gentian, each half an ounce, and powdered nux vomi ca, 20 grains, given as a dose twice a I day. Essential Features of ?* Self-Feeders for Hogs Pips that are to be fattened for mar ket, says Arthur L. Anderson, who Is ill charge of the hop section of the animal husbandry division at Univer sity farm, will make the most rapid and economical pains If put on a self feeder. The time required for the hops to reach the marketable weipht Is reduced by this system of feedinp. Also the labor bill Is cut down mate rially. The free choice system, or allowinp [ the hops to select feeds to the amount of their own wantinp, has been found a satisfactory plan. The wants of the [?ip are a pood criterion of his bod ily needs. Self-feeders* vary a preat deal in minor features of construction. The essential features, says Mr. Anderson, arc: 1. Substantial and rainproof con struction. 2. A V-shaped hopper to Insure a constant supply available to tho pips. 3. A small openinp at the base of the hopper to control the escape of feed, and adjustable for the various kinds of feeds. 4. A trough from which the hops may cat, so constructed as to prevent the waste of feed. A self-feeder having these features of construction can be made In an or dinary farm workshop and will be found very practicable. Si] acre More Profitable Than Corn in Feed Test The Iowa experiment station in feedinp steers found that a full ration of silage (52 pounds) and no corn pave larger profits than a full ration t\f corn and a half ration of sllape (27 pounds), linseed meal and alfalfa hay helnp fed to both lots of steers. The lot that received a full ration of shelled corn and a half ration of sllape pave a profit per steer of $15.82 while the loj/that received no shelled corn and a full ration of silage pave a profit of $23.11. The farmers of Iowa have been building silos by the thousands and In a few years there will be one on every farm ip the state. The same should be true Colorado. ? R. W. Clark, Colorado Agricultural Collepe, Fort Collins, Colo. Vigorous, Healthy Hogs May Withstand Cholera Hop cholera is a germ disease like typhoid fever, and unless the germs are present on the farm It is utterly Impossible for hogs to take it from feedinp stuffs of any kind, for if the perm is not there there can be no cholera, and even thouph it may be present hogs in vigorous health may escape it, but If for any reason they become weakened they are practically fnire to take it ,.l f CONDENSED NEWS FROM THE OLD NORTH STATE SHORT NOTES OF INTfch?ST TO CAROLINIAN Oxford. ?
