suddenly: my handkerchief. will not

Prince smlingly caught the handker.
chief on the tip. of his boot and waved il
carelessly towards her. The Princess
stopped down, caught the handkerchief
with her hands. and cried out angrily:

A whole year passed away in this

Prince felt that the crisis was near, and

adopt the customs of my court for

Your hands tied also: no after-thought

The Princess did not much like this
arrangement. but he insisted tenderly,
and as she really liked him very much.
she decided not to refuse him this t:itie.
The birds were singing, the sun was
shining. and the red cherries hung
down until they touched the cheeks of
the Prince and Princess rs they walked
slowly side by side under the trees. The
Princess looked up at the cherries and

/" Necessity knows no W." replied the
Prince, and picking delicately a cherry
between his lips, he pulled it of from
the tree and presented it to her. Now
the Princess had no choice but to bring
her lips close to his. in order to take the
along with the cherry. she could not say
in time: Il remember" SO the Prince
quickly took his hands out OF his belt,

al advantages enjoyed b, the boys and
girls Of North Carolina during the
earlier decades Of the present century
were of 4 very limited kind. Tner,,

Curing Hams and Shoulders.

The curing of hams and shoulders is
simple process well understood by old
farmers, but inexperienced ones may re-
neatly trim the hams; cut closely so
there will lie no large, loose masses OF
fat remaining N .Y.ds at the love- cx-
trsmity OF the ham. Hams prepared
for the city trade are carefully selected
and trimmed to suit the demand OF the
market. In some localit es the shank
is left long and the edge bone taken cut.
In others the ham is cut longer on each
end, the ed ge and part Of tee rump
bone are left in and the lip and
"cushion' are left on. These are
known as "long-cut' hams. Shout
ders are cut more nearly square, leav-
inc in about One-thrd of the blade and
the shoulder bone The ragged edges
are trimmed and the blood-veins are
carefully removed.
Make pickle strong enough to float
an egg; stir into this sufficient amount
of sugar or mOl:ssses TO give it slight
lv sweet taste. Cover the hams with
this pickle and let the packages stand
where the temperature is uniform and
above fleeing. For hams of twelve
pounds four weeks will be s,,ifici Mt:
larger hams must remain in the brine
longer. In a general way. it may c
said tina. from tour to seven weeks en-
Eract the extremes of time required fol
dom site curing OF hams, varying as t.
size of the hams. temperature and TIM
when they are designed for use. When
the hams arr to be kept through th /.
summer they must not be removed from
the brine too soon.
Hams may also be cured with dry
saiting. This is done by rubbing them
oft n with salt and sugar and bt.nchin2
them up on platforms or tabl 5 covered
WITH salt AMI covering each ham with
salt. When taken up to rub over with
salt, which ought II be done about half
