LARGE HEART CAUSES DEATH.

Organ.

NEW YORK, July 10.-on the body of a
man who dropped dead on West Twenty

to death by tobacco. and til.s theory was
held until the autopsy disclosed the real

heart. The man weighed about 10S pounds

they had heart trouble. because the heart is

keeps better in the lard can than on
side meat or hams. We cut our
shoulders as small as the bone will
allow, for shoulders are harder to
cure and get strong quicker than any
other part of the meat. Cut the
sides in two pieces lengthwise, the
thick, clean fat for boiling with
vegetables will then all be in one
piece and the bacon for frying will
be on the other-the thinner side
belly strip.
After trying d dozen methods of
fancy curing we have gone back to
the old clear, dry salt process. AS
soon as the meat is thoroughly cool
take dry, oarse salt, put a peck of
it in a tub or box and rub the meat
on skin, flesh side and edges until
you draw moisture have a clean,
dry cask or box with Slated bottom
that bloody water may run off pack
shoulders in the bottom, hams next
and sides on top, sprinkling salt be-
tween the layers of meat. In ten to
fourteen days the sides will do to
hang up and smoke hams and shout
ders should be taken up in eight to
twelve days, the old salt shaken off,
and be rubbed with fresh salt as at
first, then repacked and lie in ''sec
ond salt" for eight to fourteen days,
according to size of the pieces.
In the extreme South meat may be
treated as follows: Lay in dry salt
eight days to draw out all blood /;
make a brine strong enough to carry
an egg, of salt and well, spring or
brook water, cover the meat and
weight it down in twenty-four to
thirty days hang up to dry and
smoke. Meat may be smoked brown
in twenty days with green wood.
OF course the foregoing T only
general rules and may be varied by
weather, size of hogs, etc.
Remember that salt is cheaper
than meat, and that by the ''dry salt
method" meat will seldom take salt
enough to make it dry and unpalat-
able, unless the meat is from very
small hogs, and then then the period
of lying in salt'must be shorter.

EARLY WINTER PLANTING OF CABBAGE.

correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
/ have fifteen hundred and sixty
cabbage plants set out. First, plowed
and MANFRED the land and then
ridged the land about four feet wide
with Il large turn pillow then with
shovel threw out the bottom furrow
so as to make the ridges as high as
could we'll be. Then with hoe cut u
slOping trench on the south side of
ridge so as to bring the cabbage to Ii
level in spring when plowed down. [
followed this by planting the small
plants we'll up to the leaves, leaving
the stalk we'll in the ground SO it is
not exposed to cold. Always plant
in dry weather and put on a little
water to settle roots. No further
protection is necessary.
Many of my neighbors are trying
the experiment some made such fine
success last spring that the calls for
plants have largely increased. There
are advantages and disadvantages.
Cabbages head before the bugs and
worms begin their ravages; this is a
great thing in growing cabbage. We
have a good market at that season.
Now come on some plants the white
winter lice, so-called some few go
to seed in spring. For kraut it is
too early.
Seed were sOwn about the middle
of September on a broad bed with
radish and lettuce. 1 have have
calls for over two thousand plants.
RadiSh have gone to market and let
luce going and lettuce plants spoken
for.
The above has been my plan for
years. Many years ago 1 covered
some plants, Is an experiment, with
green pine tops and in the warmer
days they put on a rapid growth
and when the heavy freezes came on
the plants were all, except thirteen,
killed. R. r. MOORE

Correspondence OF The Progressive FARMER.

JUVENILE Ii hA10660s
Correspondence o The Progressive Farmer.
As time goes on it becomes more
necessary to give our boys and girls
practical education Agricultural
colleges are springing up in every
State. We are sending our next gen
GRAFTON of farmers to these schools
now to fit them for battling with
close competition IN all matters that
pertain to successful farming.
These schools of training r com
mendable, but the large per cent. of
the farmers in the future will come
from the farms without the advan-
tage of science as developed at these
schools. It therefore stands us in
hand to make the best use of our
home schools, and farms. Every
boy and girl likes to own something
and for the educational purposes
alone, they should oWn something.
Nothing fills the bill better than an
incubator and a flock. of poultry. It
c~ultivates a sense of care and bust
ness management that would be
lacking. when they were called on to
do business with a competing public.
It is in their time of life that impress
sions are permanent, good or bad.
The writer of this was a boy once,
raised on "a farm owned every colt
or rather owned a new colt each
spring-owned it until it became
real valuable, then he had the priv
lege of trading it for the youngest
again and was educated to think the
young colt more valuable for a boy
than a colt old enough to bring a
good price. The result of this line
of training and encouragement, he
landed in business at twenty-One a
regular pumpkin-head to do business.
The farm had no attractions for him,
he could e nothing in it but pillow
and harrow and doing without money
from crop to crop. Am not blaming
Dad, he simply did not know how to
educate a boy. Had there been an
agricultural college or other school
that occurred to him to be a good
thing a boy, money would not have
stood in the way. As above stated,
he was not aware that he run the
best school on earth, right at home
among realities. Of course, we would
rather the farmer would buy his boy
an incubator, but rather than see
the boys grow up without ideas of
business care and management, it
would certainly pay to really give
them q start, even if it was nothing
more valuable than a hen and chicks.
Boys and girls like to own some
thing as soon as they are old enough
IT, play marbles or jump the rope,
they will want to own the marbles
and rope at least.
In buying an incubator for the
young poultry raiser, it is just as i'm
pOrtant that he have d good one
one large enough for business and
we'll enough made to do the work
properly-as it is that his father has
d good implement for his work. Poor
tools discourage the users. Give the
Youngsters a fair chance.
