nroom Corn Cnltnrc.

In nearly every part OF the United
States broom corn can be grown sue
cessfully. and at u profit. IL is, how
ever. business that requires more
watching tho market than any other
connected with farming. for the prices
fuctuate from fifty 10 several hundred
dollars per ton. The grower should
be able To hold his crop over until
higher prices are ruling Where IL Is
grown rs business IL Is made To yield
good profits. but only on good soil and
with great labor.
Broom corn requires more warmth
than Indian cora. and succeeds best on
sandy soil when IL Is warmed by the
sun. ] he land should be prepared in
the fall or spring. and only such seed
used as will sink when floated In water.
The standard variety Is the Evergreen.
and when good seeds OF this are OBJ
tanned from reliable scedsmen a good
crop may be anticipated. The dwarf
varieties ara only used for whisks and
clothes brushes. and the demand Is
not so great for them. Tho planting
and cultivation do not have as much
effect on this crop us its harvesting
and nfter-preparation. The seeds are
planted In two ways; on very light
clean. rich land. in drills three feet
apart; but on other land 10 hills three
and two feet apart with six To eight
stalks In the hill. The seeds thcn

How to salt bacon.

A correspondent writes. asking what
proportion OF salt TO use Ia the proper
care OF bacon. American Agriculturist
says: For hogs weighing not over 125
or 100 pounds each. one bushel OF fine
salt. two pounds OF brown sugar and
one pound OF saltpeter will suffice for
each 500 pounds OF pork before the
meat Is cut out; but II the meat Is large
and thick, or weighs from $50 10 200
pounds per carcass. from gallon TO a
both the other articles should be
taken. Neither the sugar nor the
saltpeter Is absolutely necessary for
the preservation OF the meat, and they
are often omitted. But both are pre-
servatives; the sugar improves the
flavor Of the bacon. and the saltpeter
gives II greater firmness and finer
color II used sparingly. Bacon should
not DO so sweet as 10 suggest the
''sugar-cure;" and saltpeter, used too
freely, hardens the tissues OF the meat,
and renders it less palatable. Tn Q
quantity OF salt mentioned Is enough
for the first sailing. A little more
new salt is added at the second salt
ing. and used together with the old
salt that has not been absorbed IL
sugar and saltpeter are used first APP
ply about teaspoonful OF pulverized
saltpeter on the flesh side OF the hams

sugar in the hand apply II lightly to
