Ham Curing,

One of the largest American ham
and mess pork curers has given an in
terviewer the following description Of
his curing process: The hams are
placed in a large tray of fine salt, and
then the fresh surface is sprinkled
with finely ground crude saltpetre,
until the hams are as white aa though
covered by moderate frost, or, say 8
to of saltpetre to 100 pounds OF
green hams. After applying the salt
petre, Immediately salt with the fine
salt. covering we'll the entire surface.
Now pack the hams in bulk, but not
in piles more than three feet high.
In ordinary weather the bans should
remain thus for three days. Then
break bulk and resalt. The hams
thus salted and resalted should re-
main in salt, in bulk, one day for
each and every pound each ham
weighs, that is, a 1O-pound ham
should remain ten days, and in such
proportion of time for larger and
smaller sizes. Next wash with tepid
water until the hams are thoroughly
cleaned, and, after partially drying,
rub the entire surface with finely
ground pepper. Then the hams
should be hung in the smokehouse,
and this important operation begun
The smoking should be very grad
ually and slowly done. After the
hams are cured and smoked they
should be repeppered to guard against
vermin, and then bagged. These
hams are improved with age, and are
in perfection when one year old.

A Poultry Man Says:

IL feed my hens three times day,
as reg ularly and carefully as do my
horses, and see that they always have
fresh, clean water by them and sup
ply them with clean gravel and oyster
shells. 1 keep the hundred hens in
two colonies, and have a warm house
for each and a yard attached,so that L
can keep them shut up If desirable,
but, unless the yard is large enough
to furnish grass, let them out a
while in the evening, If hens are let
out an hour before sundown they will
get feed of grass and CLEAN any
waste food without being likely to
get into mischief. Hens like variety
in their food, and, while bran and
corn meal are the staple food, | feed
whole corn and oats once day, and
cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes and any
kind of ripe fruit or melons that are
unstable. In cold weather we always
give warm feed once or twice a day,
and this can be best done by cooking
and mashIng unstable potatoes or
scalding oil meal. In either case make
q thin mush and thicken with bran
and corn meal. A gallon OF potatoes
can be cooked on the stove while
breakfast is being prepared, and then
thinned to such consistency that it
will easily mix with the bran and
meal, and then thickened and fed
warm. A single pound of oil meal
will thicken two gallons of boiling
water until 1T will be like molasses,
and this will make the 'ed for 1OC
hens both warm and rich.

Longtime Fiber.

But the Longtime fiber industry is
quite another thing and has still
greater possibilities; certainly it is
far more probable of now succeeding,
because the firm above mentioned
has already made a practical demon
stration of its possibilities. The
writer was much surprised to find in
stacks, in the retting tanks and in
the Cannon river the flax fiber as
pulled by machinery or by hand from
between 800 and 400 acres of especially
prepared land, as raised by aoont
fifty neighboring farmers. The work
was all in neat business-like form,
and the local manager, Mr.. O'Neal,
seemed to not ,only have his hand
daily in the business but on the flax
as it was ripened, in its retting, in
water, and in the field.
This seems to me to be a most
worthy industry, one worthy OF an
abundance of capital. Minnesota has
an abundance of soils eminently
suited to growing Longtime fiber, and

we can expect on good land clean OF
weeds and properly planted good
