HOW TO CURE MEAT.
He Knows, hut Which Only q Few
Do In the Right Way.

One important item in curing meat
of all kinds is to lay it out in a cool
place. where there is a good circula-
ton of air, until the animal hea, is
thoroughly cooled out.
There is a process of sugar-curing
pork that requires that the salt, sugar
and spices be rubbed in while the meat
is still warm, but it requires experience
to do the work properly, and the av
erage farmer can hardly afford TO run
the risk of failure.
Generally at this season there is little
difficulty in thoroughly cooling out
meat if it is spread out over night.
Meat should not be allowed 10 freee
before it is sailed, as it will not take
salt while frozen. The salt is apt to
form in cakes over the meat, and un-
days come the meat will be certain to
spoil. In applying the salt the best
plan is to take a quantity in the hand
and rub it on the meat.
This will cause the meat to take salt
more readily than if it is simply sprin-
killed. over it. After rubbing we'll lay the
meat in the box or on the shelf arranged
for it and sprinkle it literally with salt.
If the weather is moderate so that the
meat is not frozen it is best TO 90 over
it second time in week or ten days.
rubbing rs at first, and then sprinkle
again. If the weather is cold enough
to keep the meat frozen this may be
done in few days after the wather
moderates.
When meat is picked instead of dry
sailed the brine should be made as
strong as possible and should fully COW
er the meat. In three days the brine
should be drawn off and either fresh
brine put on or the old brine be boiled
and the scum that rises to the surface
skinned off and then when cool poured
back.
In both brine and dry sailing the
addition OF some sugar, saltpeter and
pepper will improve the quality of the
meat as we'll as aiding in preserving it,
Allowing the meat to remain in salt
too long has tendency to make the
lean part hard and unpalatable. When
ever sufficiently sailed it should be
hung up and smoked and then packed
down. If this is done before the warm
weather comes the risk of loss will be
greatly lessened.-St. Louis Republic.

THE SHEPHERD DOG.
When Properly Trained, He Is of In
esttmable Value to General Farm

My way is, first, to have pure bred
pup, not mongrel. AS soon as it is OLD
enough put it to work. If you have nc
work for him to do you have no bust.
ness with a shepherd dog. They must
have something to do. Take him with
you among all kinds of stock, and he
will soon get accustomed to the differ
ent duties that belong to him, and he
will become eager and anxious to do it,
If he is headstrong, or wants to go toe
far, or go to the head instead of heels
make close-ftting halter of wool OF
binder Irvine and have enough string
to let the dog go just as far as you want
him to go and no farther. Make him
stop at your command. Be prompt and
resolute. but never whip or abuse:
chastise, if necessary, by pulling the
ears or cutting little, but be careful
Teach him to have confidence in You
and in himself.
AS soon as you make him understand
what you want him to do help him to do
it as near right as possible, and caress
him, to let him know he has done right
Always tell the dog what you want him
to do and make him understand, if pos
sible, before you start him out, and if
you are careful you can work him ty
the motion of the hand if he is too far
away to hear your voice. The main
thing is TO be patient, and, above all,
keep your temper. Have but one boss
for the dog.
l have two as fine bred sluts as there
are in the state, we'll trained, and one
dog, but he is too old now for much
good. 1 can take either of them ard
drive more stock With less labor and
with less friction than if had six boys
or that many impatient men about. If
you will come and stay with me one
week and see what good shepherd dog
can do. and is willing and glad to do,
you will be surprised. can work them
half mile away if they can see my mo-
tons. They mind me at the first bid
ding. If horse, COW, hog or sheep
gets out of place he must get back,
whether 1 am around or not They
know what is right or wrong almost as
we'll as human being does. a good
deal depends on the breeding of the dog
and the patience of the owner. The
shepherd dog is given up to be the best
farm or all-around dog that lives-Ohio

LIFTING WEAK HORSES.
BE Saved by Pursuing the Plan
Here Outlined.

1t often happens in every community,
1t not on every farm, that through dis
ease or accident, horse becomes I'M
able to get on its feet when down, or
stand for any time when lifted or
helped up. For animals in this condi-
ton, convalescence is always slow,
even when the animal RECEIVERS at all.
Many bad sprains or even break that
has ruined a horse might have been
cured if this or some other method of
relieving the limb of the weight of the
body had been used.
Take number Of thicknesses of bur-
lap or gunny sacking, as it is often
called, folded SO that it will be about
Is to IS inches wide and about five feet
long. AS this is to bear the weight of
the horse, there should be enough to
insure strength to bear all the strain
put upon it. Knot each end to strong
rope. If it is in stall, fasten pulley
block to beam above, through which
run the rope, after having placed the
burlap under the horse, just back of
his front legs. Spread the burlap to it's
extreme width, so that the weight will
be distributed over larger surface.
Two men can now handle the horse
easily. If the horse is unable to stand,
lift him just high enough so that his
feet may rest firmly on the ground, and
at the same time he can rest by letting
his weight be borne by a swing. He
will soon learn to let himself rest in
this way, SO there will be no danger
of overtaxing weak muscles. We saved
valuable animal in this way after it
had been ION the lift for two months.

Warming Food for stock.

Most of the advantages of cooking
food, and especially Of food containing
much water, come from feeding ii
warm. If grain of any kind is fed it
will do more good if ground and fed dry
than if cooked. Heat expands all sub
stances that contain starch. If fed dry
the animal eats more than it supposes
it is eating. The expansion occurs in
the stomach, and the animal, if rum
inant, lies down to chew its cud and in
