trary to the best usages in producing
the highest class of bacon, and is as
follows: "Add salt while warm s"
The sailing of meat before the ami
NAL heat has cooled out, will GER
tainly aid in the assimilation of the
salt, but it at the same time fixes or
sets animal odors and favors, thus
imparting unpalatable qualities to
the cured meat.
The object to be gained in the
curing is the preservation of the
meat in its most palatable form for
the table-your own table or the
table OF the consumer to whom it
NAV be sold. It's value is determined
by it's quality; its quality is deter
mined by it's curing it's curing can
not be OF the best if salted while yet
holding animal heat, and with it the
odors of the hog. The aim of every
farmer should be to produce the best
and get for it the highest price the
commodity will bring.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Harry Farmer agrees with the
writer who said: 1.-The best crop
grown on the farm is the boys and
girls. . Well, I love children and
want to tell them and their parents
something that they may not want
to hear.
l said something in a former talk
abouO going to school, &c. Father,
mother, help your children with
their lessons, encourage them to
study their books, be boy or girl
yourself again. Get down with the
little fellows and help them with
their exercises. You know most of
the teachers who are up with the
times require nearly all the lessons
written off. Some of you may not
have an an education, may not be
able to read or write +; if so, get your
book and let your children teach you.
On, how your children will enjoy
your help!
The chores all done, little tots
washed and put to bed; now you
have from one to three hours these
long winter nights to do head work.
You have been cultivating the crops
on the farm now cultivate the crop
of brains awhile.
Your school teacher may not please
you every time he may not know
much he may be we'll educated, but
know but little about teaching and
less about children. But encourage
him in every way and you will al
ways be the gamer. Oftentimes
these young people, fresh from
school, make the best teachers, as
they are more up to date. Never
under any circumstances talk in
disparaging manner before your
children about the teacher. If the
child once loses respect for his teacher
his work is done and the child is the
loser. You are not perfect yourself
and you must not expect it of school
teachers.
Now word to the boys and girls
Study hard and learn to read and
write, make use of every minute, for
your school days will be very short
You have somany nice books. Harry
Farmer is glad that your road to an
education is so much easier than that
of your father or mother Study
your lessons well be the best in your
class. You must be leader, not a
follower. saw these lines in copy
book several years ago. I believe
they were written by the poet Long
fellow;
THE heights by great men reached
and kept,
We're not attained by sudden fight,
But they, while their companions
slept,
We're toiling upward in the night"
Work hard on that lesson at night
so that you can recite it next day
with ease. If you ever expect to
climb, you will have to study at tnight,
the days are too short to accomplish
much Fill your brain full of useful
knowledge that you may make a
useful man or woman.

FOR WARTS ON HORSES AND CATTLE.

Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
Occasionally warts and other un-
slightly excrescences will appear on
the skin of young horses and cattle
The following method of treatment
| have found to be very efficaeious
Sandpaper the wart till it bleeds a
little. Then powder blue vitrol and
mix with vaseline to thick paste
and rub on the wart If any Of your
readers are bothered in this way, /
advise them to try the above method.
I first saw it recommended in Hoard S
Dairyman and know from experience
that it is first class. A. H. ID.

THE COTTON GROWERS MEETING IN
MACON.

Secretary Allison Tells Progressive Fanmer
Readers What Was Done-The- North Caro-
lima Meeting Next Month.
Correspondence of The Progressive Farmer.
In response to your request of re-
cent date, will say: I have just re
ceived the papers from Atlanta,
where they were left for publication,
so could not comply sooner. The
meeting in Macon, Ga, was a sue
cess. True several States were not
represented, but their letters of en-
eouragement were sufficient to let
us know they were in full sympathy
with the movement. Tt is very (evi-
dent the planters of Georgia are in
earnest in this matter.
The delegation from this State was
cordially received and made to feel
we were welcome in this great work.
You know it was State movement,
and the call was by them to form an
Interstate organization. AS the full
objects of the meeting were not fully
known in the other States, it was
deemed best to make a temporary
organization.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Harvie Jordan, President of the
Georgia Cotton Growers Protective
Association, who was unanimously
elected President (upon motion of
North Carolina) of the temporary
organization of the Inter-S State AssO-
citation, with Mr.. Jno P. Allison, of
North Carolina, Secretary.
A committee of seven were ap-
pointed to report a plan of organiza-
ton. Their report is as follows:
l. That an Inter State Cotton
Planters Association be organized.
2. That each State Association be
allowed three representatives upon
the Interstate Executive Commit
tee.
3. That the Inter State Executive
Committee be authorized to adopt a
constitution and elect officers.
4. That the Chairman and Secre-
tary of this meeting be authorized
to act for the Interstate Executive
Committee until the same can meet
and act.
This was adopted and a call made
to the different cotton States to hold
meetings and elect delegates to a
meeting to be held in Atlanta, Ga,
as soon after January as possible, the
date to be fixed by the Chairman.
AS you know, a delegation was ap-
pointed by Maj. w. A. Graham,
Chairman of our State meeting held
in Raleigh, in October. The follow
ing five of that committee attended
the Macon meeting: Hon. S. L.
Patterson, Col. B. Cameron, Messrs.
F. A. Whitaker, J. W. B. Battle, and
Jno. P. Allison.
There were several splendid adj
dresses made in the meeting, but as
this only to tell what was done, will
not attempt any report of what was
said.
Our meeting in October adjourned
to meet again in January, in Raleigh,
the date to be fixed by our President.
At that time I hope the planters of
the State will take sufficient interest
in this matter to attend and send
delegates that will represent their
true interests.
JNo. P. ALLISON, Sec'y.

Mr.. S L. Patterson, published in the

partment of Agriculture devoted to
the Hog and it's Products" and
which is free for the asking an ar
ticle on the curing of hams, which I
will thank you to publish as part of
this article the object being to in
duce those who have meat to cure
to adopt the best means to attain
the best results. All of the hams
cured by Mr.. Patterson, and which
he could spare, have brought 2Ocents
per pound. That is evidence of the
superiority of his method.

| Chicago Oct. ia startling new
development has been added to the
trial of DR.. Henry Wuerzinger. a west
side physician and hypnotist. who was
arrested two weeks ago on charges of
bigarny and wife abandonment. Rich
ard Gale, 1877 Southport avenue, de-
| clares his sister was a victim of the al
legged bigamist fourteen years ago. He
says she was found dead in the lake
| several months after her marriage to
the doctor. No one but the brother of
the dead woman suspected Wuerzinger
at the time and he was not held for
his wife's death.
He Used All Her Money.
According 10 the story told Detective
Sergeants Howe and O'ConnelI. Anne
| liza Gale came TO Chicago from Ger
many in 1885. She brought with her
several thousand dollars and a large
quantity of the family silver Shortly
after her arrival she met the doctor. a
dashing, handsome FELLOW, and after n
short courtship they were married. All
went well for few weeks. Then, it is
charged, WuerZinger began to make
inrO4ds into his wife's bank account.
and at the end of six months she H.
said to have been left penniless.
No Proof of His Guilt.
The angry brother even charges the
physician with pawning the family sill
Yer, which, he asserts. he afterward re-
deemed. \ few days later the body OF
Mrs. Amelia WuerZinger was found in
the lake. There appeared. however. at
the time, no actual proof of the hus
bands guilt and he was discharged by
the corOner'S jury.
Now He Is in the County Jail.
WuerZnger faced Justice Martin in
the Harrison street police court yester-
day morning. Mrs. Virginia Wuerzin-
ger. 960 Belle Plaine avenue, whom he
is alleged to have married in 1856, ap-
peared as the prosecuting witness. 1t
was said that Dora Dusk WuerZinger
whom Wuerzinger is said to have mar
ried last, was ill at 1913 Blue Island
avenue, and unable to appear. The
doctor waived further examination and
Justice Martin held him to the criminal
court in bonds Of 81 800. Unable to
furnish the necessary bail he was re-
moved to the county jail.
