The best bacon is made from pigs which
will not weigh more than l25 pounds when
tIressed, The rashers or strips for NE ba.
con are cut leugthwise of the pig and
about half OF the sides are used. The por.
ton next to the backbone is tatter and
lacks in muscle, and Ia not so good on this
account. When bacon Is made from small
pigs-those weighing less than 100 pounds
the whole OF the sides are used. Red and
black Berkshire hogs make the best bacon,
because they have the largest proportion
OF lean meat. Six pounds Of salt and four
ounces OF saltpetre should be used for 100

As the State Fair approaches 1t is be-
coming more and more apparent that the
Association Is determined to exceed its
previous efforts. A great deal has been
done on the grounds for the better display
Of exhibits and for the comfort and pleas
ure Of visitors. The programme Is very
attractive and win OF course be carried out
in good faith. The general live stock ex-
hibit promises to exceed anything Of the
kind ever seen in this section.
In response to applications for space two
hundred new cattle stalls have been built,
old and new neatly whitewashed and put
in the best possible condition to keep the
animals in safety and display them to the
best advantage. The display Of improved
farm implements will alone be worth the
attention OF every farmer who can spare
the time to attend.
Every farmer within reasonable reach oil
Wheeling ought to take the time and the
little money it will cost to be here. In this
day no argument is necessary to show that
the most successful farmer is he who ap'
plies to his husbandry the most intelligent
methods; and the most intelligent methods
are not to be had from one farmer expert
menting on his own account, but are the
result Of all well-directed experiments oil
the earnest men who are doing what they
can to bring the labor Of the agrlculturist
to its highest efficiency. There is some
thing new every year, new and better ways
Of doing things, new implements to dc
the work.
The agricultural fair brings out the best
minds Of the community and shows the re-
suits OF its most intelligent farming. The
best informed learn something the farmer
who has been going along in the old ruts
sees that his farm may be made more prof.
table ana his life more enjoyable. Wives
and daughters see how they may add to the
sum Of home comforts by the multiplying
small and pleasant industries which are con-
stantly developing new phases. From the
head Of the farm to the humblest person
who shares in It's labors and contributes to
Tia success each one has something to gain
nv this industrial and social reunion.
The ISrELL1oENcER Is able TO promise
that this years State Fair will be well
worth seeing.

TO-NORROW's ELECTION.
The Candidates and the Onees.

The numerous meetings, nominations,
ratitications, etc, of the past week have
resulted in placing before the citizens of
Astoria the names of j. w. Hume and d.
Morgan, Jr., for the Office of mayor.
Both these gentlemen are well-known
and are prominently identified with the
salmon canning business. Both have
warm personal friends and determined
adherents, who are working to insure the
election of their candidate. For coun-
Gilman from the First ward we have
offered us the names Of A. A. Cleveland
and /. Bergman. From the Second ward,
Thos. Dealy and L. A. Orcutt. In con-
nection with the Office of councilman it
may be said, IN passing, that as much
depends upon the election of "a good
man" as councilman as depends upon the
election of q mayor. In the opinion of
many. the position of councilman init
mately affects the prosperity of the city
10 a greater degree than any other Office
in the municipality. That such is the
case the history of the city abundantly
proves.
Though il happens that a majority of
the candidates presented are Democrats,
yet il has been tacitly agreed that poll
tics should not in any way enter into this
contest, and IL is Just as well that IL Is so.
Party lines have never been strictly
drawn iD city elections in As
toria, the public good being
held paramount TO other considerations.
In the contest which closes tomorrow
there has been a good deal of earnest
intent and a good deal of by-play. In
general it NAV be said that individual
preference Will have good deal to do IN
determining the result Of to-morrow's
election. Then. there are also a good
many who, when thinking over election
matters, very naturally ask themselves:
How is this going To affect my inter
estsY" and in that case the vote goes
with the belief as TO how the individuals
interests are TO be affected
Another factor in determining the re-
suit is the stand taken by the candidates
themselves. From Mr.. Hume We have
the published assurance that he Is in ev-
cry way unpledged.
There is not great deal of official pat
Ionage TO be dispsnsed by the mayor of
Astoria; the CITY attorney gets $1,000
year; the street superintendent, SyOO; the
auditor and clerk. $500; the chief of
police, $1,000; the police judge, 5000;
the city treasurer, about $1,000; the city
sexton. about $500; in all something less
than $1,000. He appoints and the coun-
Gil confirms; the councllmen holding
over this year are Messrs. Case, Cooper,
Carruthers and Trenchard. MIR. Car
ruthers' removal to another ward will ne
cessitate the filling of his place for the
unexpired term 10y vote OF the council.

Foreign Salmon Report.

The salmon market is unchanged in
value, but demand throughout the week
has been extremely slow. The shipments
to this country from Astoria up to the
18th ult., were 1891 cases, against 334,
OPS cases to the same date last year, 2S4,
O63 cases in 1881, 1892 cases in 1880,
and 1874 cases in 1879. Our market
continues quiet, but the country demand,
though not brisk, is steady, and Is rather
better than at the corresponding period
last year: prices are as last week, but
with a tendency in favor of buyers.
There Is disposition ON the part OF ship
pers to effect sales forward, but buyers
ideas and theirs are much apart, and no
sales of any magnitude have come to our
knowledge. The following statistics we
believe are authentic, and will serve to
compare the pack and shipments of the
past two seasons, showing deficit of the
former of $500 cases, and of the latter,
until the 18th ult., of 225, ,455 cases:
Total pack, including all rivers (cases)
in 1882, 1,052, 800; 1888, $4,000; ship
ments from Victoria, b. c., from June
1st until October 10th, 1882, l35, SIS; 1883,
s., $50; shipments from San Francisco
and Astoria during same period, 1882,
1885, $50; 1888, 2I4,9O0; total, 1852, 491, ,7l5;
1888, 296, ,26O.
The consumption of salmon is steady,
and the stocks of old produce are becom-
ing rapidly reduced. The cold weather
does not seriously interfere with the de-
mand for salmon, which is always &C
ceptable when of good quality. This
seasons catch is increassl as regards
Columbia river fish, but is much less as
regards the other rivers, and II Is hoped,
therefore, that the quality of fish will
much increase the volume of business
during the present season. If the general
quality of last seasons salmon had been
finer, IL is probable that stocks would
now have been cleared out.-LiUerpoOl

A COMPLETE ELECTRIC system.
Something Adequate to the City. Needs.

II became evident to those who paid at.
tention to the subject last summer that
the present system of fire alarm in this
city, while good of its kind, is not up to
the demands of our growing city. Ac-
cordingly, movement was set on foot to
raise enough money to put into opera
ton a complete electric fire alarm that
would indicate promptly and with uner-
ring certainty the location of FIRE. b.
s. Worsley started out with a subscrip-
ton paper and succeeded IN raising
$1,000. Ii being worth doing well, IL was
thought that that amount, though 1t
would buy a good alarm. would not fur
nish the best. As the Gamewell system
is considered to have no superior, il was
decided that that should, If possible, be
procured, at an expense of $1,000, and a
petition was accordingly presented 10
the city council asking that honorable
body TO appropriate the sum needed TO
make up that amount.
1t was understood that whatever sum
was received from the sale of the old
hand engine should be turned over TO the
fund, and it has been so done.
Yesterday afternoon b. ;. Worsley,
who has taken q very active part in the
matter from the outset, telegraphed to
p. Siler to go ahead and ship portion of
the material, consisting of four miles of
wire, insulators, brackets, batteries,
boxes, gong, etc. The whole business
will be in place by the 18th OF January,
1884, and after that date il is confidently
expected that Astoria will have a system
of electric fire alarm that will he in
every way satisfactory.

ASTORIA TIME.

In accordance with an agreement made
between the several railroad managers ii
has been decided TO change the city and
railroad time in Portland to conform to
the new standard, taken from the l2Oth
meridian. The change will be made
there at noon next Sunday. The railroad
and CITY clocks will all be set ahead ten
minutes and fifty seconds, thus making
Portland time that much faster than II
now is.
In Astoria no change will be made, at
least not at present. Probably when We
succeed in getting the railroad built TO
Forest Grove, and another railroad Is
running down the coast, We may take into
consideration the matter of changing
regulation time, but for the present the
time in Astoria will be in accordance
with existing systems. Mr.. Louis Will
son, well known as the most skillful ad-
iuster of chrOnometers in the Northwest,
takes frequent observations, and from
these observations in the future, as for
MANY years in the past. Astoria time
will be determined. Up TO the present
time Astoria standard time has been five
minutes and twelve seconds slower
than Portland standard time. Ac-
cording to the new regulations,
which 90 into effect in Portland next
Sunday, Portland time will be sixteen
minutes and two seconds faster than
Astoria time.
