Virginia Mode of Curing Hams.


A correspondent of the Country Gentle
man says Virginia country cured hams
and notably the Smithfeld and East Vir-
ginia hamt, arc cured in the following way:
The hogs are left on the scaffold till the
animal heat is well out of the carcass, and
it has become little stiff from cold, in or
der that it may cut smoother and better
than it docs when limp. Usually the pork
is not cut till the next morning after it is
killed, but If the weather is very cold, and
it is feared that it will freeze before morn
ing, it is cut and sailed the same day.
On being cut, the meat is Immediately
sailed by hands who stand ready, and
packed down in bulk, flesh side up, on the
floor or a platform made for the purpose Of
holding the meat On packing down each
piece is so laid that all the blood that oozes
out of the meat will flow away from it, and
not remain in contact with the flesh to faint
it. This is one of the nice points in our
method of curing bacon, namely, to have
the animal bleed freely when it is killed,
and not allow the pork to stand long in the
bloody water that always comes away from
pork for short time after it is slaughter
ed. Hence we never use brine, but always
salt the meat dry, and break bulk and re-
salt again in short time Care is taken
to touch all the joints and bones with plen-
ty Of salt, and to sprinkle more salt on the
thick part of the pieces as they are packed
down
We use from bushel to bushel and
half of dry salt to a thousand pounds of
pork, applying the most on meat of large
size Some times, to give fine red color
to the flesh of hams, little saltpeter is
rubbed on them, but very often nothing
but the dry salt is applied till the meat is
ready to be- smoked. At the expiration
of four to six weeks, depending on the
size, and state of the weather, the hams
are taken up, washed clean of the salt but
this is often omitted and molasses of moist
brown sugar is smeared over the flesh sides,
and red or black pepper applied freely to
give the meat good flavor, and also to
keep off the bacon bug, the parent of the
skipper" The red pepper should be dried
in an oven, and then pounded fine In
mortar. Both sorts of pepper may be
taken together. A gallon of molasses or
ten pounds of sugar, and four pounds of
black pepper, or peck of red in pod, are
enough Of these articles for thousand
weight of hams. The pieces are then hung
up and smoked in the usual way by kind
ling slight fire in the middle of the room,
and keeping it smothered with chips from
the wood-pile But use only green hicko-
ry or oak wood, as it imparts brighter
gingerbread color to the meat

The Rage for Cheap Fertilizers.

Report Of Pa. State Board Of agriculture.
At the present time the most serious
drawback Ito both manufacturer and con-
sumer) is to be found in the foolish rage
for low-priced fertilizers Ground lime
stone at So per ton, the refuse of salt works
at S12 per ton and dear at fifty cents, raw
South Carolina rock (not acidulated) at So
to SO per ton, the refuse of alum works
at S12 per ton (and in large amounts pos
itively injurious to land and crop, New
Jersey mari at so per ton, with not enough
soluble potash to pay the freight, and mari
aud common lime mixed and sold under
misleading names, all find by far too many
purchasers, who appear to mistake bulk for
quality and with whom low price is synon-
ymous with cheapness. The same farmer,
when starting out to purchase horse,
would not look for the lowest-priced one
which he could find, but would take the
animal which he considered the cheapest
for the price asked. Let us apply the same
rule to the purchase of fertilizers and it
will not lead us astray. We want given
result for the lowest possible outlay, and
provided we get the result needed the
smaller the bulk handled the better, for we
may thus save both freight and labor
Other things being equal, we find that
there is most fraud in the lower priced and
least in the higher priced fertilizers, which,
in most cases, the manufacturers keep up
to the former standard Many of our
manufacturers having established the rep
utation of their standard brands will not
reduce them to suit the demand for lower
priced articles, but still keep them up to
the same guaranteed analysis. In some
cases we might name, and in more than are
suspected, lower grade has been made by
mixing cheap ''fillers" with the standard
goods to reduce the price per ton to point
which will satisfy the market demand, but
our analyses prove that in many cases the
purchasers pay dearly for the reduction,
and that the profits of the manufacturer are
as great per ton on the lower priced goods.
We might instance case of high priced
fertilizer placed on the market at price,
which, at the time, made it the cheapest
source of phosphoric acid offered. Failing
to make any sale, the manufacturer mixed
two tons Of cheap "fller" with each ton
of the fertilizer, and, by offering the mix
ture for one-half the original price, obtain
ed $50 for what he had previously asked
$12O for, and had nothing of value in it.
1t is safest to buy only of reliable parties,
upon the guarantee that the goods are as
represented, and buy good goods only.

The Growth of Weeds.

Persons frequently express surprise at
the universally, as it were, of weeds. A
careful cultivator will keep a field free from
weeds by frequent cultivation and hand
hoeing through the entire season, and as
none are allowed to go to seed he may look
for a clean field the following year, whether
cultivated or not. But those who expect
to see land entirely cleaned of weeds and
all its weed seeds by individual effort, are
likely to be disappointed in their expecta-
TONS Many seeds will live in the soil for
long time just how long has not been
determined, but in the case of certain kinds
of seeds, several years. Speaking in a
general way, the ground is full of weed
seeds; they are blown about by the winds,
washed from place to place by freshets and
by heavy showers, carried to new locations
by birds and animals, and like the rent in
the boys coat, "it was there before.
Very few realize the extent of fecundity
or prolifeacy in many of our common
weeds, or how rapidly stock may be null
tiplied from a single plant At both the

much care. DIR. Sturtevant found Wig
orous plant Of the Purslane family that
had nine branches; an average branch had
fifteen branchlets, an average branchlet
had PIP seed capsules, and one seed cap
sule had seventy-fve seeds, making the
whole number by computation 2,146,500.
A fair stool of chess had 1898 seeds, plan
tain 4,4SS, OK eye daisy 10000, curled
dock 1890. The botanist at the Ohio
station found by computation that an aver
age thistle produces over $4,000 seeds; a
dandelion 1900, shepherd purse 81 SEQ,
wild peppergrass 18,400, ragweed over
1000, moderate sized purslane from 30O,
600 to 100000 seeds in single plant.
Wild carrot and mullen are both exceed
ingly prolific in seed We have found by
computation that single plants of either
may produce from half million to a mil
lion Seeds
An acre of land contains 1850 square
feet. 1t will be seen that single plant in
some cases may produce seeds enough in
season to allow half dozen or more seeds
to each square foot of an acre of land How
then can we wonder at the rapid increase
of weeds under ordinary careless culture,
where thousands are annually allowed to
mature their seeds on almost every acre of
cultivated land.-N e. Farmer
