TO CURE HAMs.-Take the hams
and shoulders aud cheeks, rub them
we'll with salt on both sides, lay on q
declining board so as to have drainage,
and cover the flesh side with salt.
Take q lot of fine saltpeter and work
in at end and around the center bone.
Let them be three to four days. Have
clean barrel ready, clean off all the
bloody salt from the meat, pack in the
barrel rind downward and outward,
pour and cover with brine of pure
salt and water that will bear up an
egg. Hams from hogs weighing $50
to $50 pounds dressed weight should
remain in this IA days only. Take
them out, let drain and dry two or
three days, then smoke them. Soon
after smoking cover and sew up in any
kind of clean cotton cloth, and have a
barrel of dry, clean wood ashes ready.
Cover the bottom with 8 or 4 inches
of ashes, lay in one layer the best you
can and cover again with ashes, so no
meat comes in direct contact with
other pieces, until all are packed and
covered. Keep the barrel in some
clubhouse from the influence of mois-
ture. Ours is kept in the smokehouse,
and the other day our city cousins and
the doctor ate dinner with us, and we
had ham from December, 1896, and
they all declared it frstclass.-TeXas

THE DAIRY COW.

The functions of the COW are TO take
your coarse fodder and grain and man.
ufacture them into milk. Providing
she is so fed that she can sustain her
body and in addition produce milk at
profit, she is good COW. You know
there are any number of cows that do
not pay for their keeping, but IN this
age of progress we can ascertain be-
yond shadow of doubt whether or not
COW is profitable dairy cow.
There are three things you must
consider: O The quantity of milk
given (2) the quality-by the Babcock
test; (3) the length of the period OF
lactation.
After having succeeded in establish
ing herd of good dairy COWS comes
The important part of taking pro-
per care of them. Mich cows must
have a variety of feed, as, no one
kind of feed contains all the different
elements which both sustain the body
and produce the milk. We will see
later what milk is composed of and
you will understand why she must
have variety of feed.
Do not feed your COWS before milk
ing. So many do this in order that
the cow shall stand better during the
process of milking. You will ask why.
Most of the milk is secreted during
the process Of milking, and the COW
must use her blood in the udder. II
she is eating this blood rushes to her
stomach in order to carry the nutri-
ment TO the different parts Of the body,
and the consequence is that there is a
lack of blood in the udder to produce
the best results. Extreme care must
be taken not to feed anything that
will flavor milk just before milking,
as it will then pass into the milk, but
feed directly after milking.-George
Sampson in Sharon (Wis.) Reporter.

IDLY related that, during the first year
of his poultering, the amateur farmer
discovered that all his little chickens,
which were confined in coops, were
languishing and dying. He went over
all his books to see if he could find
what allied them, but in vain.
At last he called in one of his neigh
bors, and, showing him the thin and
weak surviving chicks, asked:
"What do you suppose is the matter
with those chickens?"
"Well, 1 dunno" said the farmer
"what do you feed 'em9"

TRANsPLANTING SHADE TREES

TRANSATLANTIC SHADE TREES
There is no better time to transplant
shade trees than during the winter
when the trees are dormant, as the
digging up and moving does not inter
fere with their sap circulation at that
time. 1t pays to dig up quite large
trees to set out for shade, for then they
are of use in year or two. Dig
a ditch around the tree several feet
from the body, cutting off the roots
cleanly as they are exposed. Then
undermine the tree until it tips over.
Trim the top as closely as the roots
have been trimmed, roll the roots on a
mud boat and "snake" it to the place
where it is to be set out. Brace it so
it will not blow over, and in the spring
it will start into new and vigorous
growth, and in year or two make a
thick shade. Thousands of trees were
dug up on the site of the Worlds Fair
and set out in another place, in this
way, and nearly every one of them is
a nice shade tree now.

HE LEARNED.-There is one man
in Washington who declares that if be
can hereafter obtain information in
any other way he will not ask ques'
tions. He is employed in one of the
departments, and his duties consist
mainly in ordering and buying furni-
ture. While on his way to order a
wire screen the other day, he met
a vendor of rat-traps and other contri-
vances made of wire. AS there are
few places in the city where wire
goods are made, he thought he had
found new factory. Stopping the
man, he asked:
"Where did you get those traps"
"Made 'em. Where did you sup
pose ?" was the sullen reply.
"Where did you learn wire-work-
ing?"
The rat-trap vendor looked at bis
questioner sharply, and promptly re-
piled
"Same place you did. Sing Sing"

COMMENCE TODAY AND KEEP AT 1T.

DETWEEN this date and the MIDDLE OF

section to select their reading matter for the
following year. Being one, Of the cleanest,
most enterprisng and reliable newspapers in
the state, it Is natural, therefore, that THE
YORKVILIiE ENQUIRER should also be
one Of the most popular. Ninety percent. of
the families in the county desire II as regu-
lar visitor to their homes, and all those who
can afford 1t, may reasonably be looked upon
as probable subscribers. One Of the most Sc
rlous drawbacks, probably, is the inconven:
ience Of writing letters, sending money and
attending to the matter OF subscribing at the
proper time. 1t is this fact that makes 1t es-
pecfally desirable for US, just at this time, to
secure the services of q large number OF intel
ligent and energetic assistants, and to make IT
worth their while to give the matter their
attention, we are making the liberal offers
which we will presently explain.
The price Of single subscription one year
is TWO DOLLARS. This Is to the individual
who does not give his name to clubmaker {;
but sends it direct to this Office. In clubs,
however, the price Is only ONE DOLLAR
AND SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. That Is the
price which the subscriber pays the clubma-
ker, and the price which, under all circum-
stances, he is expected to pay us. Now to our

FLUSHING THE STOMACH.

DIR. Austin Flint, Sr., used to say
"Plenty of water, plenty of water out
side and in for health"
Since his day doctors generally have
more and more strongly recommended
water drinking, till now, a certain
land large) number of glasses of water
per day is one of the most familiar
prescriptions from some of the best
doctors at the best sanitariums in the
land. High authorities now tell us
that often the basis of success In the
hot water craze and in drinking min
eral waters is neither the heat nor the
minerals, but the water; the water is
what the system of the patient was
needing.
We are taught now that there Is no
danger of drinking too much water,
and good deal of not drinking
enough. Of course, that is not dis
putting the fact that it is very easy to
drink too much ice water when we are
warm, and too much of any kind with
our meals.
A practitioner and instructor at
Bellevue recommends every one to
drink pint of water on getting up IN
the morning, and pint on going TO
bed, at any temperature they like
this is hygienic suggestion, not a a
medicinal one; this very successful
practitioner thinks it is the best way
of giving the system needed liquid,
and declares many irregularities dis
appear under this regime. The water,
mind, is not, however, to be gulped
down at one or two drafts; half hour
or more while dressing or undressing
should be given to slipping the two
glasses.
This same physician recommends a
good drink of water when we feel
tired or faint; in that state that usual
ly makes us generally turn to tea or
wine, the water has an almost equal
reviving effect and much better results
in the long run.

SOME BoYIsH ANswERs.-As school
boy habit of placing upon a question
some literal meaning other than inten-

answers as curious as unexpected.
Thus an inspector asked lad what

"His head and feet.'
Another youth, questioned as to
where Jacob was going when he was
10 years old, replied that "he was

R6- One of the Rev. DR.. A. L. Stones
deacons was much concerned in his
mind over the fact that his beloved
pastor liked good cigar, and he went
to reason together with him on the
subject. "Don't you think, DIR. Stone" "
said the deacon, "that there is such a
thing as a mans smoking too much ?"
Yes, indeed, DR.. Stone thought there
was. "Well, don't you think there is
such a thing as minister of the gos.
pei smoking too much ?" The doctor
certainly did. "Well, what would
you call too much ?" And the doctor
assured the deacon that he would Ger.
tainly call it smoking too much if any
man, no matter who, should smoke
two cigars at once.

AVERAGE POTATO YIELD. - The
largest potato yield on record was pro-
duced in Northern Wyoming in 1890.
According to sworn testimony, it
amounted to 974 bushels and 49 pounds
per acre, of which S3S bushels were
marketable. The expense of produc-
ton was stated to have been $74.S0.
Such a crop anywhere in the country
this year would have been pretty pro-
6table. The average yield of potatoes
in the United States is in ordinary
wears about 100 bushels to the acre.
