A large quantity of pork was lost, we
learn, on account of the recent warm
spell, and fears are entertained of more
serious losses if the weather continues
as it has for the past week. We would
suggest to those who have meat on
hand to hang it up and apply the smoke
Much pork has been damaged by allow
ing it to lay too long in bulk During
warm weather, such as we have had
this winter, meat will take salt in two
weeks, and if allowed to lay longer will
become soft and moldy. 1t should be
hung up and dried by constant smoking
Good bacon can be made in four to six
weeks from the time hogs are killed.

found guilty and gave bond for his ap-

making cOwardly attemps to wreck or
greatly damage the train on tins road.
Two efforts have been recently made to

little town. 1t is. to be hoped that the
transgressOr will be cOught and restricted
ere he is necessarily compelled TO suffer
heavy penalty.
