Curing Meat.

Almost every farmer knows how TO
cure meat. but there are some-as is

and ham, is at hand. those who have

those who know nothing about the

should be thoroughly cooled, but pre-
caution must be taken against having

Without wishing to detract from
tine honorable and useful career of Gen.
Cockrril in the United States senate.
we desire to see his successor elected
this winter in the person of Gov.
Phelps. II is not fact that the gov
ern"r is exerting himself TO obtain
that honor. but his friends should not
be less active in his behalf on that ac-
count. In advocating his merit, they
serve the best interests of the Missou-
ri people. for all of Us know how deep
IL the whole soul Of the governor is
bent upon promoting the prosperity
Of our state and all the West. and no
Missourian-indeed. hardly any STATES
man of the Western Democracy would
WELD greater influence as senator.
lie is a man Of national reputation
and great experience in congressional
legislation. He would re-enter con-
gress prepared for skillful contest
with his adver>aries and ready to lead
his friends. New senators rarly take
the rank which would be conceded at
once to Gov. Phelps. These facts
overthrow all arguments in favor of
any other man on the ground of anT
o.her mans superior fitness by reason
of acquired experience in the senate.
From present promise 6f immigration
and business. ii il reasonable 10 con-
clude that Missouri will enjoy q most
remarkable increase Of wealth and
population in the next ten wears. and
the character Of her representation In
the senate will either add to or dimin-
ish this prosperity. Phelps would
help this onward march, while there
can be no fear of his abandonment of
any Democratic principle. The senate
is about to lose Thurman, and the pres
ence there Of Phelp, would in good
psr. make up for that loss. Gov.
Phelps j. not too old in years; hi. age
Is the age of Thurman. his physique
is goad and firm. and his faculties a.
bright and useful as in the best days
Of his manhoods prime. Mr.. Thom-
as Allen is his senior in age. we be-
ii,ve. and ST. Louis has just elected
Mr.. Allen to the turbulent house of
representatives. We know of no fol-
lies which the governors years have
brought him. They have made him
fully ripe in those qualities, abilities
and requirements which are needed
in the senate of the United States.
The Southwest Of Missouri is where
our noble, able and patriotic governor
finds his trurst and his most devoted
guard Of friends, whose fidelity re-
mains unwavering. and whose strength
i. ready for its part in sending the
right man to the senate. NeoshO
