same process is repeated with the 9TH

the hem reaches the neck-band. This
is all very well as long as its owner re-
mains at home, but should he attempt
packing his shirts in trunk or valise,
the bosoms would very likely become
soiled. To avoid this friend taught
me to lay the shirt with the back upon
the table and fold the bosom inside.
The poorest way to cook pork cured
in any manner is to boil it. Boiled ham
is favorite dish with most persons, but
a ham first boiled and then baked till
the surface is slightly Drowned is vastly
superior. It is much better to broil
ham than to fry it., To broil it perfect
ly it should be cut in slices Scarcely
thicker than the back of a carving-knife,
and cooked over very hot Goals. When
much sugar is used in curing hams the
meat will be; dark-colored when it is
broiled. On this account many prefer
bacon that is. cured with salt alone.
Salt or picked pork should also be out
in very thin slices when it is to be
broiled or fried. It should be cooked
till nearly all the fat is tried out of it
and the meat is crisp and slightly
Drowned on the surface. It should be
served when hot and on a hot plate. If
the fry-kettle is placed in stove oven,
instead of on the top of the stove, it
will be cooked much better, as the rays
OF the heat will strike the upper as well
as the under surface OF the muat. The
best relishes to use with fresh pork are
sage and other garden herbs placed on
the meat when It is being cooked. "A
dish Of apple sauce should accompany
roast OF pork. The best relishes to use
with salt pork are horse-radish. sour
pickles, mustard, garden radishes and
lettuce, cut mp with vinegar. fl'.H FL =

Selling Seed Cotton.

y good deal of time has been expended
in the General Assembly in discussing bills
TO regulate the sale OF seed cotton. One
nan viii say that seed cotton ought not
tt be sold at all, another will tell US that
n IS not p~urchascable in less quantities
fban i've hundred pounds, and still anoth-
eri will inform the world that 1t was not
made to he sold IN less quantities than two
hundred and fifty pounds. To pass a law
prohibiting the sale OF seed cotton would
be an injury to o great many and OF no
b ,nehtto any, except to rogulsh renters
w lose cotton houses would be the common
receptacle for stolen cotton. What right,
ANYWAY. have even our lawmakers to pre-
vent the farmer from selling the products
Of his lands as he pleases? While one man
might offer for sale q hundred pounds OF
stolen cotton, there would probably be a
dozen. men, each with a small quantity OF
the fleecy staple that they had honestly
come bv, and would be glad to dispose OF.
Make your law, and what's the poor man
to do, who mas only a few hundred pounds
OF seed cotton? o yes, save 1t till the next
crop, of course, or resort TO a partnership
with his nelghbor. The trath is, every
farmer must look after his own business,
and unless he does, he may expect to have
his cotton stolen. There can be no obJet-
ton, however. to the bill that was finally
introduced, requiring persons who buy
seed cotton to keep a list of those from
whom they purchase. This is far enough
10 90. We fail to see either reason or JUS
tice in any proposed law preventing the
sale of farm products in any shape or con-
dit on.-Lerington Dispatch.

In some future issue of the AdvertiScy We
will give the debates on this great ques-
ton. They are worth reading. Among
the many arguments used against the bill,
the most ridiculous was that by Mr.. See
gers, Of Columbia, who said that the pas

cratic paaiv. No one who voted for such
a measure would ever come back to the
Legislature. He knew that the sale Of
LIQUOR was an EVIL, but it could not be
stopped, and that was all of it.
We agrao with Mr.. Seegers that the
sale Of whiskey can never be stopped, but
il the Democratic party can be disrupted
