Canning Beef. 
The following recipe for canning beef 
is one we have tried three years and 
have found it superior to all others. All 
who have tested it pronounce it best. It 
was contributed by “T. W. B.” to “Wal¬ 
lace’s Farmer”: 
Cut beef into small enough pieces to 
go into glass jars. Without washing 
it or adding water to it, salt and pepper 
it as you pack it, and can as soon after 
being butchered as possible. Put boards 
on the bottom of wash boiler, set the 
jars in, with lids laid loosely on top of 
jars, fill boiler with cold water to within 
two-thirds of the top of the jars. Let 
boil several hours, depending on the 
quality of beef; three hours is usually 
enough. Then set boiler back for a few 
minutes and take jars out, put on rub¬ 
bers, and seal tightly. Always use good 
lids and new rubbers. Suet may be 
rendered and poured over the top of 
meat before sealing, thus making it 
doubly secure. 1 . m. c. 
Dyeing Carpet 
Can. ingrain carpet be dyed to any color 
desired and what dye is used? 
MRS. c. D. 
It is quite possible to dye carpets; 
several housekeepers described the way 
they had done it in The R. N.-Y. a few 
years ago, using some of the reliable 
packet dyes for wool sold by druggists. 
The dye was kept hot and applied to 
the carpet with a stiff brush, the carpet 
itself being separated into breadths and 
laid over a table. One woman used a 
small sink brush with a handle. An¬ 
other tacked a rug flat on a storeroom 
floor and applied tire dye with a long- 
handled scrubbing brush, giving two ap¬ 
plications of dye. Three days were al¬ 
lowed to elapse between the two dyeings, 
so that the rug, which was a thick 
one, dried out well. A Brussels carpet, 
dyed in this way, was allowed to dry 
thoroughly; then a damp cloth was laid 
over it and it was ironed with a hot 
iron to bring up the pile, after which 
a good brushing with a whisk broom 
finished it. In each case the persons 
operating followed the packet instruc¬ 
tions as to making and fixing the dye; 
one says that while using the dye she 
kept it hot on a little oil stove. An¬ 
other tells of a neighbor who dyed un¬ 
desirable stripes in a rag carpet by 
stretching it on a barn floor and apply¬ 
ing dye with a stiff brush to the stripes 
she wished to change. It will be noted 
that all these experimenters applied the 
dye with a brush. To dip a carpet would 
be impossible under home conditions, 
though this is done by professional 
dyers.
