Like beans, scrapple has been slandered
In almost too many was as to recipes
nnd there are some who give beet as the
component of Philadelphia scrapple, but
they probably never ate It ln Philadel
phia. From personal and very pleasant
experience In eating this really line and
economical dish In Philadelphia cheap
restaurants, and In high priced hotels, I
have come to the conclusion that the
cheaper the restaurant the belter the
scrapple.
Huston at one time attempted to pre
pare scrapple of refined and Intellectual
mateilals and with a college education,
and to charge fancy pi Ices for the prod
uct, but It soon perished fiom the market.
ind now Hoston is supplied from Phila

go to Hoston nnd shed abroad enlighten

The following recipe n ems like the
genuine aitlele, and wltn a little ex
perience will ptoduce the right result.
Use liver, lit ad, feet and meat from
pork- which will not grind up well for
sausage. The head and feet both contain
considerable, of gelatine which Is a pro
nounced element ln the best of genuine
scrapple. Roll the meat until the bones
will easily separate from It.
Stmln the liquor from which the meat
waS taken after boiling and take all the
bones from the meat, after which gilnd

idd one tea-spoon of salt or more nnd a
salt spoon of pepper. To five pounds add
one teaspoon of sage and a tablespoon of
sweet marjoram. Return the ground meat.
to the liquor and bring to boll. Then add
com meal and buckwheat in equal parts
until It becomes a regular mush.
This should be well stirred while cook
Ing to pn vent burning and when dono
turn Into pans. Tho seasoning given
nbove Is too little, as I have tried and
Hnd the scrapple right In general appear
ance and taste, but not sufficiently sea
soned. The uullnary bread pan for brick
loaves and about three Indus deep or
more will give good slices. As seasoning
is all a mattir of taste, mid as the above
produced the exact appearance of tho
genuine ankle, this recipe Is given with i
tho warnlMg to iim' moro of the sen-on- j
mgs of all sorts.
Probably tin Intent was to use the
seasonings with lu-ad stock nnd feet pre
dominating, weighing with all bone iuuI
waste counted, m which case the" amount
would he a.- iiinutalii as the percentage
of waste in the stock used. Gross weight
of raw stock, including bone, would piob
nbly be cne-hnlf or more greater than thu
net weight That amount of Increased
bonsorlng would have mado the nut
weight safe to use as a standard.
The stock available varies so much that
wo will do well to experiment In order
to strike just tho seasorilng desired by
our own tnmlly, and to base our season
ing on the net weight. Tho amount of

Jelly as It cooks will nlso vary according

CORNED BEEF IN FIRELEfiS
COOKER.
There aro many tireless cookers mad
with skill and also provided with vary
ing outfits. Those having tho soapstonu.
discs to retain heat aro naturally thu
ones which will apply moro of heat to tho
cooKing as tne neat is stored in tne aiscs.
In addition to that stored In tho water
In which the corned beef Is boiled.
For simply a hay box or a wooden box
packed with hay and an asbestos card
board circle to hold tho rest In shapo
It will be necessary to boll the moat much
longer than If you also heat one or two
discs and place them, one In tho bottom
nnd another at the top of tho kettle. For
an ordinary homemade flrelea cooker It
Is necessary to boll the meat about two
hours, more or less, according to the size
ot the piece nnd the efficiency of thu
heat retention, as well as the amount
of water you have boiled to store thn
heat.
With the best disc outfit a less tima
Is of course, sufficient. The advantage ot
the flreless cooker is that tho slow cook
ing nut only gives tenderer meat, but also
tho flavor Is preserved and the heat la
just right when it is taken out to serve
This also allows tho work In tho bolllntf
of tho corned beef to all bo dono tha
night before. The fat can bo skimmed
off sufficiently before removing from tha
lire and the meat, still boiling ln tho
kettle set Into the flreless cooker, covered
out left for Sunday.
In this method It Is necessary to conk
the vegetables "separately or, nt least
moro convenient to do so usually.
MRS. LINCOLN'S BOILED DINNER,
Tho following is from Mrs. Mary J.
Lincoln, nnd for practical convenience Is
the best, where no tireless cooker of any
kind Is available.
"This substantial dish Is not often
seived on Sunday, but a convenient dl-h
to have then, as it may be part'y r
pared on Saturday, and will usually u f
through Monday. It Is always bette -
boll the beef long enough before n tn
tifolu one to remove the fat from Uo
liquor, before cooking the vegetabii s
"Beets should be boiled alone and c -b-bage
Is much more digestible It buhed
in clear water uncovered. A cinvnk t
way to plan it for a Sunday dinner Is
to boll the corned teef on Saturday and
press it. Then simply sll. e it if ''ked
cold, or If you prefer It hot, steam it,
whole over the bolllrg vegetables, or
warm the slices slightly In a hot fnlng
pan.
"Cook the cabbage and beets nlso on
Saturday, and avoid lilllng the houso with
odors. Servo tho beets cold with vinegar,
warm the c abbage ln a little water, drain
and season on Sunday. Then you havo
only the potatoes, carrots and turnips to
boll on Sunday, Cook them In tho strained
meat liquor.
"On Monday you may servo all that
Is left as a salad; and with the hot toma
to soup and steaming bread pudding. It
will be nn easy dinner for washing day.
"Then there will probablj stlU be some
thing loft for vegetable hash for Monday
night and a corn beef hash later In tha
week."
