A Georgia inventor creates a ham mock hook with a graphite filled groove that wears to lubricate the moving parts, preventing squeaks.

Wash woolen items with soap and cold water then rinse and dry between cloths. Do not hang to dry. Lay flat between towels to absorb water without stretching. In a separate note, potatoes a la Francaise: fry bacon pieces in butter, add onions, stir in flour, then white stock, season, and cook cubed potatoes.
A historic recipe describes pineapple sherbet using grated pineapple or fresh fruit, sugar, gelatin, lemon juice, and eggs. Dissolve gelatin, mix with boiling water, cool, add pineapple puree strained, sugar and lemon, then egg yolks for pink gelatin or only whites for white. Chill and freeze like ice cream.
