Sailing DOWN PORK.
Methods Tina: Have Gwen Satisfaction Fo
TWC!l: S.-scN;... Years.

A New j rrsey corr 2DouGl, NJ Of The
New England Homestead writes Of
methods pr.tcticcl b hirl with entire
success for the past 80 years. He says:
For pork one Of the first considera-
lions is a clean barrel. I have used the
sa,no barrel for tho past so years and
have cleaned it each year as fol-
lows: Put about three pals of water
and peck of clean wood ashes in the
barrel, then put III hot irons enough to
boil the water, cover closely and by add
ing a hot iron occasionally keep it boil
ing for couple of hours. Wash be bar.
rel thoroughly, and it will be sweet as
new barrel. Cover the bottom OF the
barrel with coarse salt. Cut the pork
into strips about six inches wide, stand
edgewise in the barrel, with the skin
next the outside, till the bottom is COW
cred, then cover with a thick coat of salt
SO AS to hide the pork entirely. Repeat
in the same manner till the barrel is full
lr the pork is all in. Cover the top lay
er with salt thickly. Let it stand abous
three or four days and then put Oh a fat
stone and cold water enough to cover
the pork. After the water is on sprinkle
one-quarter pound best black pepper over
it. An inch of salt in tho bottom and
between each layer and y inches on
top will be sufficient to keep the pork
without making n brine. Some people
make n brine that will bear an egg, but
I never do.
For hams, I weigh the hams. and
for 100 pounds of meat l use pounds
of tho best fine salt n pound of sugar
and 4 ounces saltpeter. Mix thor
oughly and rub it into the flesh side Of
tho ham, not forgetting tho shank, and
place on board Or shelf. When the
mixture has struck in, rub again. There
will be enough 10 rub the meat three
times. It usually takes about three
weeks to complete the job. Hang mp
Immediately and smoke. This recipe
will cure the large and small hains
alike and just right for cooking, as the
meat will not take in more than the
right quantity. If these directions are
intel1igently followed. first quality Of
ham will be secured. For bacon use the
same mixture as for hams

To FIX Up FurA

furs, when taken out in the fall, are
often found to have q marred and crush
ed appearance. They can be made to
look fresh and new with little trouble.
Wet the fur with clean brush dipped
in water and then shaken. brushing the
hair up the wrong way. Let the fur dry
in the air for half an hour and then give
it good beating with a rattan. After
Coating it comb the fur in the right way

Winter Work That the Wide Awake Bee

Winter Work That the Wide Awake Bee
keeper Finds to Do.
The advice is often given to let bees
alone during the winter season. This is
cautionary, and especially addressed to
beginners, but is not intended to convey
the idea that no work can be safely
standing the best person can do before
winter sets in, there Will be some colo
MES Of bees that need looking to, says
Ohio Farmer, aut hority for the follow
lnG. Perhaps some Of the colonies went
lnto t,.-:r winters rest with large num-
beis Of OH bees nearly worn out, with
lew ysrGg ones to take their place.
II this IS the case, it becomes necessary
to keep everything il proper condition
II success : desired. The weak bees will
snccamb TO the least unfavorable
Weather.
With Old bees dying, the entrance Of
ten becomes clogsed, and if the bees are
not removed the colony will die-will
smother, With Il wire a foot or more
long, with a hook on one end, the en-
trance can easily be cleared Of dead bees
and the colony be saved.
Excessive moisture in hive will also
cause bees to die rapidly and drop to the
bottom Of the hive, and if not removed
the colony will the sooner die.
With a good absorbent (chaff) over
the bees and plenty of space between the
absorbent and roof there will be but lit
tie moisture within the hive. With care
the dead bees can be removed without
aronsing the colony to activity.
In cellar wintering bees frequently
become uneasy, y condition often due
from lack of water, which is especially
the case toward spring, when brood rear
ing commences. A sponge saturat>
with water, placed over the cluster, will
quite often quiet them.
With the best of care in fall feeding
colony may sometimes be found witt
out sufficient stores even in tho middle
OF the winter. If sucll q one is found, it
can be fed and the bees kept from starry
ing.
This can be done by filling q wide
mouthed bottle, better a Mason fruit
jar, with strip made of granulated
sugar and water and tying some cheese
sacking over the mouth Of the bottle or
jar and quickly inverting it and placing
1t directly over the cluster. The bees
Will be able to help themselves and star
Walton is avoided. They will take to the
bottle sooner if the strip is middling
warm. Many beekeepers prefer candy
made from sugar strip, boiled until
ready for taTy, and while hot pour into
dishes-pie tins will do. When this is
cold, you have cake Of candy which
can be placed over the cluster, ON to the
frames, and, too. without arousing the
bees
1t is claimed there is this in favor of
candy for feeding bees: The bees not be-
ing able to take the candy as fast as they
can the strip, it will not cause so much
activity i'll the colony, and for that rea-
son is better for winter feeding. The
writer has done but very little winter
feeding and for that reason can give but
little from actual experience.

sentativ1s OF the same CORPORATIONS
who own the four great lines of rail-
roads heretofore referred to and who
paid TO Marcus A. Hanna the million
dollars to debauch the electors OF the
United States last fall.
BY the terms OF this reorganization
these same people who control the
bonds of the Union Pacific settle with
the government Of the United States,
through the president and his attorney
general, for about s50,000,00o, defraud-
ing the people Of the United States out
OF the difference, amounting to $780,
100000.
How They Settle.
The Union Pacific railroad, as aforc-
said, Is worth more than all the claims
against It, else why is the common
stock OF the company selling in the
daily markets at 25 cents on the dol
lar. II, then, the property is worth all
the claims against 1t, why should the
government, the largest lien holder, ac-
cept anything less than par for her
claim. The only assignable reason Is
that Mark Hanna and the administra-
ton which he dominates Is consum-
mating this shameful deal, by which
the people are losing s30,000,000, to
compensate these railroad corporations
and trust companies for their million
dollar contributions to his corruption
fund.
In order that the damnable deal may
be fully consummated before the peo-
pie are aroused, the final steps are be-
ing taken now with unseemly haste.
Under the reorganization scheme de-
cree of foreclosure and sale was en-
tered by the circuit court Of the Unit
ed States in the state OF Nebraska on
July 29, 1897. The notice Of sale is
now being published and the date OF
sale fixed for Nov. 2, the brlefest time
possible for advertising the sale.
Strange to say by coincident the date
OF sale Is the date of the Ohio election
when the righteous Judgment of the
people OF Ohio will be recorded against
the administration for this and vari-
Gus other wrongs inflicted upon them.
It will be noticed that the sale will be
made, confirmed and property doubt
less turned over before Dec. I. when
congress convenes.
Congress, the representatives OF the
people, will have nothing to say. Mark
Hanna got his million. the people who
gave 1t to him get the Union Pacific
railroad and the American people lose
thirty millions Of dollars and Hanna
Ia making the struggle of his life.
backed by these same corporations, to
return to the senate, where he may be
all powerful in turning over whatever
other property the government may
have lying around loose to these cor
porations that have been friendly to
him and his president. Will the pres
ident O. the United States stand Idly
by and permit this gigantic swindle :,
be perpetrated on the people Of the
United States?

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
Of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned judge, skilled
lawyer, or court of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and a
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, a news
paper which the combined power Of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.
