When we frs. exposed the villa

When we first exposed the villainy of Wilcox, Teller's appointee at San Carlos, we proved by his own (Wilcox) statements that he and Teller were in collision with each other, and that they should both be removed from the positions they disgraced. We knew nothing at that time of MT. Teller's collision with the Southern Pacific to fob the government of $25000,000 worth of land, or of the petty mean nesses and triekery of which he is guilty towards his political opponents; knowing it, Ae raise our voice. anew for his dismissal by the President from the position he disgraces, and claim that his heuchman, Wilcox, shall go with him. This same Secretary of the Interior, failing to rob the locators of the Deer Creek coal fields of the rights won by their bravery and in- telligence enters into an unholy com pact with the Southern Pacific to steal from the cattle men of the Tonto and the ranchers of the Salt river, the ranges and farms they have held against Indian marauders, and upon which they had calculated to spend the balance of their lives. No honest journalist in Arizona can afford to sus. tain either of these men. Teller is a grand larcenist and Wilcox sneak | thief

They wh) live on farms often com.
plain that they are denied many of the
creature comforts constantly within the
reach of dwellers in towns; that, while
the farmer may have OF luscious fruits
and succulent vegetables an ever fresh
abundance, he isgenerally unable to pro-
vide for his family such fresh meats
even as the laborer in the city expects to
find before him at every meal. Few
families on farms can consume, even in
winter, the flesh of even so much as a
lamb of fair size before its freshness and
the appetite for mutton will both have
gone.
The American farmers family has for
generations contented itself with an
abominable diet, in which hogs flesh
was most of the time the only meat
We know of parts OF the country where
even now, when beef and mutton form q
very important part of the farm products
bit of steak. a roast, or a piece of roast
beef is almost unknown TO the tables of
the farmers. The reason is plain: The
family can use but a small part of the
carcass while il is fresh, and the town is
too far away to allow of the frequent
visits which would be needed to keep a
supply of fresh meats on the table.
In some neighborhoods remote from
the shops Of the butchers The farmers
have madea regular system of what was
at first but neighborily courtesy. In
one case, in Tennessee, sixteen or eigh-
teen farmers formed club, each mem
ber to furnish beef from l3 months TO
years old. Then one Of the members
who has the most skill in the butchers
art dresses all the becves, and for his la
Dor receives the hide Of each animal he
kills. All the beeves are driven to the
home of the butcher to be slaughtered.
If desired one beef is killed each Satur-
day during the warm months until the
sixteen or eighteen beeyes are all dis
posed of.
To the member whose steer produces
the best beef a premium of $5 is given
and a fine Of Ike amount is imposed up
on him whose beef fails to show II per
cent of fat meat The meat is nicely
handled, and so divided that in the
course of season each member receives
every part Of the carcass.
As the beevcs usually net from 800 to
400 pounds therc is, when divided, into
sixteen or eighteen parts enough in each
part to supply family three or four
days. As the club has been in existence
for more than twenty years, and its
members say they would not let it go
down for any reasonable consideration
it may be declared decided success and
worthy of imitation.

For eighteen years the deer of Boston
Common have been one Of the chic
attractions at that classic spot. They
have furnished a cheap delight, more
over, for the cost of maintaining then

the fence inclosing them has naturally
deteriorated, and at last, when the es
cape of several animals made 1t eviden,
that constant patching would no Longer
serve, the council voted to dispense with
the deer, there being no money to build
a new fence. Two of the couneilmer

temperature should be kept below so
degrees while the pickle remains on the
meats.
Picked pork (mess or clear pork is
made by sprinkling rock salt at the bot
tom Of the barrel, and packing the pieces
closely, placing them on edge, sprink-
ling salt between the layers, using thirty
pounds Of salt to $50 pounds of meat. A
brine of full strength should then be
made and the barrel filed. See that the
barrel is kept full of pickle, or, if the
vessel is an open one, that the pickle
covers the meats. If the pickle should
begin to ferment at any time, more rock
salt should be added. When any meats
cured in this manner are to be smoked,
put them in vessel of cold water TO
soak for six or ten hours to remove the
surplus salt; then wash in rain water,
rubbing well with q scrub brush or cloth,
then hang for twenty-four hours before
supplying smoke. Sweet picked meat
should not be soaked IN water before
smoking, but should be washed in rain
water the same as in dry salt cured
meats. The meat should be hung, for
smoking, rs high above the fire as pos
sible. The meat should be cured from
ten days to two weeks. Sugar cured
meats should be scrubbed or placed in a
dark room before the fly appears in the
early spring.
A Kentucky method Of curing hams
and bacon is furnished by a gentleman
from that state, who knows it to be good
and absolutely proof against skipperS.
Leave the meat in strong brine foi
seven or eight weeks, then put It in
lukewarm water, and dry. When dry
roll it in a mixture of equal parts of pep
per and saltpeter rubbing it thoroughly
with the hand. Hang in the smoke
house under slow fire, only partially
smoking it. In the spring, before the
flies come, paint the meat with New
Orleans molasscs, then smoke thorough
ly.
Another method: The following
method of curing hams is recommended:
Rub the flesh side of the hams with fine
salt, using no more than will adhere TO
it. Let them remain forty-eight hours,
then put them into cask, skim down,
and cover by pickle made by dissolv-
wing fifteen pounds of salt and two and
one-half ounces crude East India salt
peter in ten gallons of water, and adj
ding three quarts Of molasses. Keep
them weighted down. They will cure
ready for smoking in forty to forty-fiye
days.
Still another: A well recommended
pickle for curing hams is made of one
and one-half pounds of salt, one-half
pound of sugar, one half ounce of salt
peter and one-half ounce of potash
Boil together till the scum has risen to
the top and then skim. After cooling,
pour it over the meat and leave the lat
ter in the solution four or five weeks.

Adulterated Beer.

The brewers fall back on the high
price of hops as the reason for raising the
price of beer. A Chicago paper, com
menting on the fact, that hops do still
enter into the composition of malt bever-
ages, notwithstanding the discouraeine
reports of chemists who profess to have
analyzed samples of beer and found the
soporitic hop wanting. But the last issue
Of the Druggist has suggestion which
rather tends to discrcdit tho value Of
this evidence all around II says the
rise in the price of certain bitter drugs is
to be directly ascribed TO the failure in
tha hop crop, the drugs being supposed
bly, bought by brewers. The same point
has been made by the British Medical
Journal, in which attention has been
called 10 the advance in certain bitter
drugs having tonic properties, such as
calumba root, quassia, chamomiles and
chiretta, and the same cause is assigned
for it, namely, heavy purchases by the
brewers. All these insinuations have
been vigorously repelled by the English
brewers, who enter point blank denials
that such substances are ever used by
them. Still there is difference in the
quality of beer produced in different
cities. The use of the drugs named, it is
said, would not make the amber fluid
any more dangerous to take, but would
deprive it of its finer favor and the Pc
cular soothing effect which comes from
the hops would be wanting.

The supply of genuine Mocha is at most
very limited. and it is probable that be-
fore many years it will disappear from
the markets of the world, though doubt
less some inferior variety will usurp its
name. The imports have been declining

consular report makes known that the
once flourishing Mocha Tor Mokkah, as
the writer calls it, is now reduced to a

inhabitants. who have TO work bard to

Curing Meats.

Hams, shoulders and breakfast bacon
can be sugar cured in a tight or open
vessel. The open vessel is best. Pack
the meats closely in the vessel, and after
preparing the pickle, pour it over the
meats, and if the vessel be open, put a
weight on the meat TO hold it under the
pickle. Ifthe vessel is tight, turn it
half over every day for twenty days.
The vessel must be kept full of pickle.
The pickle is made as follows: For
each 300 pounds of meat placed in a
tierce or hogshead, put in twenty four
pounds of salt, three quarts of good
syrup twelve ounces Of saltpetre, and
fill the barrel with water. If curing in
an open vessel, take the meats out Of the
vessel and repack as often as you would
turn the vessel if tight. This is to be
done to change the position of the
pieces, that the pickle may reach every
part. II is best to let meats remain in
the pickle until taken ont to smoke. The
