HOW EASY IT rs.

|T CAN'T see why it's that we have
to purchase so much Northern
bacon and hams when meat can
be cured SO easily here at home, and
the cost of raising hogs is SO little.
| never knew how easy it is to cure
meat till two years ago, when /
thought / would make enough to
last for the year, and though it was
a very mild winter, and we killed
our hogs in February, we did not
lose a piece, and last winter, though
we had no ice at all worth speaking
Of, we cured our bacon and hams
beautifully.
The following recipe a friend gave
us, and anyone, no matter how green
at the business, can use it with great
success: For every 100 pounds of
meat, take 6 gallons of water, 3
pounds of brown sugar, 8 pounds of
pure salt, 1 quart Of good molasses,
3 ounces of saltpetre, ounce soda.
Boil water and salt first, and then
add the other ingredients, and skim
off all impurities Pack pork in a
good barrel as we'll as possible, and
when the liquor is perfectly cool
pour it over SO AS TO entirely cover
the meat, and weight it down. AT
ter three or four weeks it can be
smoked and then packed in barrel
with clean wood ashes to keep out
all insects.
The above recipe makes fine

grating and budding. God never
intended it in the general economy
of nature that limb cut off and put
in the ground should produce tree
like unto one that grows from the
seed. So Mr.. Jennings and others
who want a good orchard, here is
the way to get it: Put out an Or
chard of grated fruit forty feet apart
each way, then plant seed between
them, thus making them twenty by
twenty feet; your grated fruit bears
early, and when they die your seed
lings will be bearing, and they will
be forty feet apart and you will have
an orchard that your great, great
grand children can eat fruit off of
and wonder who planted the trees.
In my next | will give you my
method of pruning, and what 1 do
it with and when / prune.-B. T.

will double in size this year and
continue on from year to year as
long as ! protect the stubble. l find
that the cassava can be planted any
time.
/ have had better success by plant
ing in the fall, and cover two or
three inches with a plow, and box
off in spring when the sprouts begin
to show up. 1t can also be set out
through the summers as the stalks
broken or cut in pieces and set out
perpendicularly readily strike roots
as well as the sweet potato, and can
be multiplied rapidly.
I believe the cassava can be sue
cessfully cultivated as perennial
plant as far north as Arkansas, and,
treated as an annual, can be success
fully cultivated much farther north.
Many seem to think because it
comes from the tropics that it will
not do above the frost line. This
is mistake. Tobacco is tropical
plant, and yet it produces well as
far north as Kentucky, Connecticut
and Virginia.

A NEW COTTON PEST.

Il Vicksburg correspondent of the
n Times-Democrat sends that pa
per the following account of the
ravages made upon cotton plants by
a new enemy:
Superintendent Dobyns, of the
Ashley, the largest cotton planta-
in Louisiana, has sent the CONNER
cial-Herald specimens of small
black bug which is devastating the
cotton fields in that part of Madison
parish.
On Major Geo. A. Waddill's
Buckland plantation they cover an
area of quarter of mile wide and
quarter long. They utterly de-
YOUR the youngest cotton and make
older plants look as if frost had fall
len on them.
Cockleburrs are also devoured by
them. They first appeared OH some
land (fifty acres) that had been
planted several years in oats and to-
tally destroyed the cotton which had
been planted June 5 Paris green
is being used to extermnate them.
The insect was never observed be-
fore, and its appearance and ravages
is small beetle about one eighth Of
an inch long, very active on the
wing and able to hop like flea.
Superintendent Dobyns used Par
is green on ffteen acres of infested
cotton Friday with some benefit, and
applied it to 100 acres more yester-
day.

sugar-cured ham and good breakfast
bacon, and the beauty of it is that
you don't have to salt your meat
down, but just put it in the pickle
as soon as you can cut your hog up.
If cold night or two should come,
the pieces are much improved by
being removed from the barrel and
left all night exposed to the air.
The recipe is equally fine for corned
beef, only you should dip each piece
of beef in the brine while it is boil
ing for three or four seconds, and
than proceed as with the pork.
Home-cured hams are helped won-
derfully by adding a cup of sugar
and vinegar and a little mustard
while being baked.
/ think the outlook for hog-raisers
in Texas is fine, for certainly you
could hardly find country where
the ''grunter" thrives SO on feed
that costs so little. With a sugar
cane patch of one-half an, acre you
can keep dozen hogs fat for six
months, and as sugar cane is only
one of our many hog feeds, there is
no earthly sense why we should be
buying instead of selling all the
time.
And then there is money in good
homemade lard. What sensible
person would not prefer sweet coun-
try lard to this stuff we get from
Chicago labeled Lard" but God
only knows what it is. We know
that packers do not stickle over
killing diseased hogs, and that it is
a favorable plan with farmers when
their hogs show signs of cholera or
are not really dead with it, to rush
them off to the packeries.-Cor.

VOL. XIV.
BUDDING AND GRATING CAUSE
OF SHORT LIVED TREES.

EOAA III WIG cOuAA0A VI IfAdy
1st, an ably written article from
: the pen of w. Jennings, Of Ga,
headed "Degeneracy of the Pear
Tree" Mr.. J. seems to think that
the cause Of the present short life of
the pear tree is from impure stock
and grating on impure stock. The
whole upshot of the business is,
grating is what has done the work
and is so effectually killing off the
pear tree. This is progressive age.
I sold fruit trees one year for J. C.
NJ, of Tyler, and about the first
question that was asked me by a
man who intended to buy was
"How long before the trees will
bear?" Men nowadays want to put
out trees and the next year gather
crop Of fruit; they can't wait for sew
en- years after planting seed for fruit,
as they did fifty years ago. You
cannot get good Seeding from q
grated tree, but take the seed from
good Seeding and plant it where it
is to stand and you will have good
tree, not apt to be troubled by blight,
disease and decay.
The peach and apple are growing
shorter lived every year, from the
pernicious habit of budding and
grating exclusively. The pear and
apple each have five seed cells, the
bloom having five pistils, or pistil
to every seed cell, and about five
stamens to each pistil. No man
ever grated or budded tree with.
out implanting in it the seeds of de-
cay and death. When budded or
grated they will grow, but nature is
nature, and her best fruit, her rich
est legacy, is when nature is not in
terferred with. The pear tree was
among the trees "whosc seed was
in ITSELF" and its longevity is short
ened every time you try to force ma
ture out of her regular course. Much
has been done, and can be done, by
grating, budding, etc., but for the
result to the tree in it's early decay,
trust grating against everything else.
! have put out several orchards, and
I find that seeding tree will live
and do well while its neighbor, a |
grated or budded one, sickens and
dies. The whole, sole cause of the
"degeneraoy'' of the pear itres is

MI. Stanley has improved wonderfully In
appearance since his marriage. / assume
that the improvement is due TO his marriage
and the companonship of a remarkably
sprightly and attractive woman, for it is
certain that the great explorers last trip to
Africa was not calculated to restore his
youth, If tho stories of outrage. misery, pri-
walton and trouble which have been told by
all the survivors are true. Before Mr. STAN
ley went to Africa on his present trip he
had fallen into condition where he ap-
parently pinned for the dark continent. He
was heavy, lethargic and tacturn
He comes back to America with

happiness. He has grown rather stout, but

more thoroughly earnest man than the
greatest Of African explorers. He smiles
| work of his life is the only thing that really
interests him, and he does not make the

When Major Barttelot's brother made his
extraordinary attack ON Stanley, people

tied by SANKEY'S assailant. 1t has been
| proved by great many years experience
that it is not well to make loose allegations
against Stanley's work in Africa, and If his

have proved him to be a man of unde-
Waiting exactness and care in all his
personal relations and of elaborate
accuracy in everything which he
| writes. That he is dictatorial, and,
In one sense, domineerng with his subordi-
mates. is no news. He appropriates all the
fame OF his trips, ana perhaps he is not far
wrong either, for, when all is said and done,
only one man has come to the surface out of
good many millions who has shown his
ability to overcome all of the physical and
moral obstacles offered in Africa and
achieve success which is as indisputabla as
1t is unique. Stanley's arraignment of Bart
telot will be severely criticized and the de-
mails will be numerous, but there is no 60
