Use trimmings of fat and lean portions of pork, taking care to have twice as much lean as fat. After trimming and cutting, weigh the pork and add ^4 its weight of lean beef.

Mix thoroughly and let stand in a cool place about 24 hours, after which fill into casings and fry down in hot lard. Put into crocks and cover with hot lard, and store in a cool place. — [Mrs. E. S., 111. Bologna Sausage IV Add 1 lb fat pork or fat bacon to each 10 lbs lean beef, and grind fine. Season with 1 oz black pepper, l^ oz fine salt, and a little ground coriander seedBologna Sausage IV to each 6 lbs meat. Stuff in beef casings, making 1 foot long for the large cas- ings, or 15 inches for the small ones, tying the small ones together and letting the large ones hang straight. Smoke 12 hours, then boll until they float on the water. Lay on clean hay in the sun until dry, and then hang away in a cool place. — [Farmer's Wife, Col. 304 FARM AND HOME COOK BOOK To Prepare Casings for Sausage Select the best of the beef casings, empty and wash them thoroughly, then throw them into a strong brine and let them soak several hours, after which rinse them thoroughly in fresh water, turn them, lay them on a smooth board and scrape them clean with the back of a knife. Rinse and soak in salt water again, then give them another scraping and wash again, and do not rest satisfied until you are positive they are perfectly clean. After they have been thus treated, put them in salt water, changing water frequently, until you are ready to use the casings. I think that sausages packed into these casings with a sausage stuffer are much better than sausages packed in muslin bags. — [E. S., 111. Scrapple I Cook until tender, hogs' livers, hearts, and scraps of lean meat. Salt to taste, and when done, remove the meat, boil the liquid a little longer, and then thicken with cornmeal until it is a thin mush. Let this cook well, and then add the meat, minced fine, and salt, pepper and sage to taste.Scrapple I Pour into pans to cool, and when wanted, slice and fry until brown on both sides. — [Mrs. P. L., Iowa. Scrapple II Clean and cut up one hog's head and remove all skin and larger bones. Let soak in salt water over night, and next morning wash again and put over the fire in cold water enough to cover. Cook slowly until the bones separate from the meat, then drain, pick out all the bones and hard gristle, and chop or grind the meat fine. Strain the liquor and return it with the ground meat to the kettle, season with salt and pepper to taste, and when it begins to boil, stir in, slowly, enough cornmeal to thicken, adding some white flour to make it hold together.Scrapple II Stir constantly until done, then spread out in pans, and when cold cut in slices and fry brown on both sides. By running melted lard over it, it can be kept a long while. — [Mrs. F. G. F.. O. Mince Meat, Canned I always make mince meat during the butchering season.
