ut is gratifying to see that nearly all
Europe is glad over the great triumph of
the republicans over the siverite demo-
Gratis in the United States. Six months
ago nobody over here had good word
for Mckinley on account of his protec-
ZIONIST "hercsies," but now he is a hero,
partly on account of his success and
chiefly of his soundness on the money

PLANTING FRUIT TREES.

Experience has taught good many
men, but not all, that 1t Is better in
almost every way to plant fruit trees
one or two years old in the nursery
rather than those four or five years
old, says the California Fruit-Grower.
Some men buy nursery trees as some
Cinnamon buy boots. They get the
largest size possible for the money
paid. But others, and probably the
better orchardists, do not care TO buy
cordwOod OF nurserymen and hence
take younger trees that have more
fibrous roots. The smaller trees gen.
orally cost less, are more easily
handled in transporting and planting
and in a few years time will be likely
to Outstrip those which we're mnch
larger at time of planting. Many
good orchardists maintain that at five
or six years from planting the smaller
trees will show the best results both
in fruitage and heathfulness of the
orchard. Those contemplating plant
ing orchards during the coming sea-
son may well consider the subject Of
size and age of trees they select. In
any event, it Is always well to make
selections early in the season and take
plenty of time to prepare the gronnd |
and plant.

HOW TO CURE HAMS.

Il. NJ. Todd, of Virginia, whose
cured hams have given his product
reputation that sells them where
ever offered, gives the following de.
scrlptlon OF his method OF curing:
! The hams are placed in large
tray OF fine Liverpool salt, then the
flesh surface Is sprinkled with finely
ground, crude saltpetre, until the
hams are as white as though covered
by a moderate frost, or say use three
or four pounds Of the powdered salt
petre TO the thousand pounds OF green
hams.
2 After applying the saltpetre, i'm.
mediately salt with the Liverpool fine
salt, covering well the entire surface.
Now pack the hams in bulk, but not
In piles more than three feet high. In
ordinary weather the hams should re.
main thus for three days,
3. Then break bulk aud re.salt with
fine salt The hams thus salted and
re-salted, should now remain In salt
In bulk one day for each and every
pound each ham weighs that Is, a
lo-pound ham should remain 10 days,
aud In such proportion of time for
larger and smaller sizes.
4. Next You wash with tepid water
until the hams are thoroughly cleaned,
and after partially drying rub the EN-.
tire surface with finely ground black
pepper.
b. Now the hams should be hung In
the smoke house, and this important
operation begun, The smoking should
be very gradually and slowly done,
lasting thirty to forty days.
q. After the hams are cured and
smoked they should be re.peppered TO
guard against yermin, and then
bagged Those hams are lmproyed
with age, and the Todd hams are i'm
perfection when one year old.

The rooms Of the W, G, 7. .. wert
crowded Sunday afternoon, and If HI
will speak again the crowd will bt
larger than can be accommodated In
the rooms.
To establish his theory that drunk
enness is a disease the speaker quoted
DR.. Talmage. and showed that the
use of the Kelley remedies were
authorized by the United States
government in the army and navy.
That seven states had passed laws
authorizing their use for destitute
drunkards at the expense Of the
county. That New York requires by
law ten weeks Of instruction each
year in her public schools that the
use of alcohol produces diseased
condition of body and mind.
Then he said if it was a disease,
what a national shame and sin, what
travesty upon national honor and
justice 1t was TO license thousands
upon thousands of low groceries and
gilded palaces to spread the germs of
disease broadcast throughout the
land; and what was infinitely, worse to
imprisOn the unfortunate man who
happened to contract the disease. If
il is disease we have no right to hit
the poor drunkard over the head with
a policeman's club and lock him up
unless we lock up a physician with
him to take care of him. He said the
needed to be treated by
more than moral phar-
macy. He did not believe in faith
cures or that there was any moral
cure for the disease. That the Kelley,
or any cure Of equal merit, if there be
such, was helper to the church, as 1t
placed the drunkard where the church
could reach him. That the brain was
where will power lies, and when that |
Is paralyzed the drunkard has nothing |
upon which to base a moral effort.
That you might as well ask the
victim Of yellow fever why he does
not cure himself with will power, as
% ask the same thing Of the confirmed
lrunkard. He handled his subject
From Bondage to Freedom" in a
and graphic manner and held
he rapt attention of all.
He paid an earnest tribute to the
". G. II. U. and to all Christian Tenn
,erance women, and showed by refer
nee to the pioneer mothers, Joan of
\rc and the famous Captain Molly,
hat when men were wanting or power
