To cook. put a thick layer of hay in the bottom of a wash boiler. set the jars on._thls, place over the fire and cover to within a couple of inches of tcps of jars with cold water. Tops of jars should not at any time be sub merged. but water should be kept while boiling as near to them as possible. Bring slowly to the boiling point, and for the wo quart size boil from three to three and a half hours; for the one quart sizo about half an hour less. Something depends upon the quality of the meat. but no matter how tender to begin with long cooking is necessary to insure good keeping. Keep the boiler closely covered from beginning to end. When Cooked. lift. the cans, one at a time,‘ from the boiling water and screw down covers just as tightly as possible. 'f the lid or cover proves defective ex- change for another. but set can back into the boiler again for a time before sealing. Keep water boiling and boiler covered until last can is out. Three dozen two-quart cans is a gen- eious supply for a family of six and will take about two good-sized quarter; or beef. Of course every farmer puts (town more or less pork so that it is not necessary to depend altogether lip- on the canned supply of meat. Pork for canning should be mostly lean. Usu- ally we try down the hams and shoul- ders fresh, and the trimmings, irregu- lar pieces and portions next the bones are canned along with the tenderloin. Sometimes it is ground as {or sausage and then canned. A little lean beef ground up with the rest is then an ad- vantage. We do not. season sausage intended for canning. except to salt it. WAYS OF SERVING. Canned beef. mutton and veal may be served cold, or pieces fried in {at until slightly browned. or used in pies. The liquor. which is simply the extracts ed juices. is very rich and makes the best of soups and gravies. Pork should be healed before serving. As a rule we use the canned sausage for breakfast with griddle cakes or fried potatoes. SCOTT (9° BOW/NE, Cb; Scott’y Emulyz'on use: I use common Mason fruit jars at both the one and two-quart size. For a small family. especially where a lit- tle help is employed. the smaller size is hotter, but for a family of five or over I would prefer the larger. Both jars and covers should be thoroughly steri- lzzcd by boiling in water for a time. I usually hail the covers sepemte and put a little common baking soda in the water. It is especially important to have the covers tree from all germs and the porcelain lining adds somewhat to the ditIlculty. But by selecting only good covers and boiling thoroughly I never have any trouble, although I use them ovcr and over again. FILLING THE JARS. Cut up raw meat without washing into rather small pieces and pack in the jets. Pack closely, but do not at- tempt to jam down. Use considerable fat. and exclude all bones. gristle and undesirable portions. To each two quart jar put in one level tablespoon of salt. No water is needed. Put on .8 rubber and screw down the cover as tightly as can readily be done. No at- tempt, however, is made to seal at this une.

The captain gave his orderly his spare rifle and then walked up to the edge of the tall grass, when the animal bolted out with a roar and sprang at the captain, who shot him in the air. The beast fell upon him and seized his left arm in his teeth. The man managed to turn and strike the lion with his clinched right fist in the neck. The orderly yelled. The lion let go his hold'and disappeared in the grass‘ ly- ingriherc alt night. He was despatched last August, shooting from a platform under the water tank, for the lions had a habit of coming there to drink the drippings. The account runs: “Nothing occurred up to 10 o'clock. Then the watcher heard a beast coming behind him, which proved to be a lion- ess. She came up, paused under the platform, and the captain heard the lapping of water beneath him. He moved to get a sight oi her and made a noise in turning. The lioness made a side jump of about five yards and smelt the ground and listened. She thus ex- posed her side, and the captain fired two shots. The first shot hit her in the neck, the second in the heart. She gathered herself up like a horse about to buck and then bolted blindly toward the track, ran on it for about ten yards and fell. Then the captain heard the‘ noise of two lions crashing through the high grass. One came out first and went up to the dead lioness and smelt the body and scratched at it. In a minute or two the other lion came out of ‘lhe grass. Both together scratched the body, when they realized that she was dead, and both lay down for some time by the body, and then got up and reared, then lay down again, and again rose and reared, evidently performing a kind of wake or funeral service, withI dirge. “:fhe captain fired at. one and‘struckimote th his jaw and the bullet glanced off his r-I me ( shoulder.
