If you want to find obliging electric
car conductors. go up on the Norway
South Paris line. A correspondent
tells this story to prove the point:
There is a certain Norway young
man who makes regular trips to South
Paris on Saturday evenings. AS he
finds agreeable company there, he uSu-
ally returns to Norway on the last car.
At the close of last week. he made the
customary visit and forgot the hour
for returning. About 1920 o'clock,
there came a ring of the bell. The
young lady went to the door and found
the street car man there, and he said:

draw lines in small places instead of
honestly enjoying all there is to enjoy.
If one has had superior advantages, is
there no obligation to give pleasure, to
make sunshine in others lives because
of that, good fortune3 The time is at

or physical deficiencies; that there is
positively no honest or sensible basis
for judging individuals excepting in
dividuality?

The Old Meeting House.

We love the venerable house
Our fathers built to God;
In heaven are kept their grateful vows,
Their dust cndears the sod.
Here holy thoughts light have shed
From many a radiant face,
And prayers of tender hope have spread
A perfume through the place.
And anxious hearts have pondered here
The mystery of life,
And prayed the eternal Spirit clear
Their doubts and end their strife.
From humble tenementS around
Came up the pensive train.
And in the church blessing found,
Which filled their homes again.
For faith and peace and mighty love
That from the Godhead flow,
Showed them the light Of heaven above
Springs from the life below
They live with Cod their homes are
dust;
But here their children pray,
And in this fieeting lifetime trust
To find the narrow way.

There is one thing in particular

II is almost impossible to find young
horse in the country that has good

HAMS AND BACON.
Two Methods of Curing In Use on the
Farm.

fuful.
The North Carolina experiment sta
ton has issued an instructive bulletin
on curing hams and bacon. There
are two methods of curing on the farm
dry sailing and pckling. Dry salt
ing is more largely practccd than pic
king, but in our experience we have
been led TO prefer the picking. We
prepare a brine strong enough to float
II potato, and after the meat is cut and
trimmed it is dropped into this brine
for two or three days to draw ont the
blood. 1t is then taken out, and a fresh
brine il made or the old brine boiled
and skinned, 10 lie brine we then
add one ounce of saltpetcr and a pint
of black molaS>cS for each 100 pounds
of meat. The meat is then returned to
the brine, the thinner parts being put
to themselves and the hams and Shout
dcrs in another cask. The thin parts
remain in the brine three weeks and
the hams four or five weeks, care be-
ing taken to keep all under the brine.
The meat IS then taken out and hung
in the smokehouse or elsewhere to drip
ana dry somewhat 1t is then slowly
smoked with corncObS or hickory
WOOD tho smoke being smothered
down with green cedar branches, If
they are to be had The smoking is
continued for several weeks in favor
able cloudy weather until all are well
worked. The hams should have the
upper part of the smokehouse, where
the smoke hangs longest. In the early
spring the hams are taken down and
rubbed well AL over with n mixture of
molaSScs and black pepper. They are
then wrapped in stout paper and put
into cotton bags which are dipped in
WhitrWaSh and are again hung up.
Some pack them down in chai1, but we
prefer to keep them hanging. They
are at their best for the table or mar
krl nj a wear old, and one who tastes n
wear old or older ham cured in this
way never wants To taste the "em-
mlmcd hams Of the western packers
AGAIN as long as he lives. Hams OF this
hinl viii bring IS to 20 cents per
nellud when the hams of the west ana
| the white hams Of our farmers are sell

by tanners and which can easily bc
