Bring to a boil and skim frequently and cook until the meat on the head and feet is tender. Remove the head, feet and tongue and boil the liquid for ten minutes to reduce. Strain and then measure. To two and one-half quarts of this stock add One tablespoon of black pepper, Three tablespoons of salt, Two cups of oatmeal, Three cups of cornmeal, One cup of whole-wheat flour, and then meat, chopped fine from the set of pig's feet. Cook slowly, stirring frequently. Cook until very thick, like mush, on the back part of the range, and then rinse a square loaf-shaped pan with cold water. Pour in the scrapple and then place the balance of the stock, three pints, in a preserving kettle and add one cup of vinegar. Bring to a boil and cook for fifteen minutes to reduce. Add the meat, removed from the head and cut into neat pieces. Rinse a loaf-shaped pan with cold water, and then pour in the mince. Set in a cool place to mould. The scrapple may be formed into croquettes and dipped in flour and fried until golden brown, or it may be cut into thin slices and fried in the usual manner. Cut the head cheese in slices and serve with mustard sauce. Cook the brains for breakfast or luncheon. CANDY TO MELT CHOCOLATE FOR DIPPING Either the plain or sweet chocolate may be used for dipping. To prevent streaking or turning gray, the chocolate must be melted at a low temperature, so fill the lower part of the double boiler with boiling water. Place the top compartment in position, then add the chocolate which has been cut fine. Add one tablespoon of salad oil to each half-pound. Stir frequently until the chocolate melts and then dip in the fondant centres, nuts or pieces of candied fruit. Place to dry on a board which has been covered with oil cloth. GINGER CRYSTALS Soak three level tablespoons of gelatine in one-half cup of cold water for one hour. Then place in a saucepan that is free from grease Two cups of sugar, One cup of water. Bring to a boil and cook for five minutes, then add the prepared gelatine. Stir to dissolve thoroughly, then bring to a boil again and cook for twelve minutes. Remove from the fire and add One tablespoon of lemon juice, Two-thirds cup of crystallized ginger, cut in tiny bits. Rinse an oblong pan with cold water and drain well. Turn in the cooked mixture and set in a cool place for twelve hours to become firm. Then loosen from the pan and remove. Turn
