HOW TO CURE HAMS.

Not every farmer knows how to
cure hams properly. Gcnerallythey
hang hams, shoulders and SIDES
and literally bury them in salt.
The result is that the meat is too
salty to eat and the flavor IS spoil
ed.
The Southern Cultivator gives
tho following method OF curing
hams which is said to be excellent.
1t does not kill the meat, but i'm
parts a delicious flavor, and hans
cured this way will keep indelii-
ly:
For one hundred pounds of
hams take eight pound of salt, three
pints Of molasses, a quarter of
salt-peter in boiling water, mix
all in a barrel, or III sufficient wa
ter to cover tho hams with pickle :;
they should be rcpacF cd in three
days and after that once a week
They should remain in pickle eight
weeks then smoke them as much as
you like. Every time you repack
stir the pickle. The object OF re-
packing them is to have the hams
on top on the bottom of the casl1.

SOLDIERS HOME.

1T may seem somewhat out of
place Tor me to comment on this
subject at this late day, but like
the road question, it. is ever new
\and bids fair to be one of the main
issues of the next campaign. In
the outset, there ls no one moro
ready to honor and help take care
OF the Old soldiers than the writer,
a Il no ono feels kecner interest
1or their welfare and security, and
it Is my humble desire to see the
INDECENT cared for in their last day,
yet can't lndorsc the erection of
home, though | do not claim to
be authority on the matter.
1t will cost from fifteen to forty
thousand dollars to build a homo
which would DO occupied ly very
few and that for a short timo. In
very short whilo they will all bo
gone. Add the cost of building
and the cost Of maintaining Il sol
dier's home to the pension appro,
priation and all would got the bcn-
eft, whereas only few would be
benefited by the home, How
many would go to the home, loavc
relatives and friends and go to Il
strange place to dio2 Such an in
stitution would prove another bur.
den on tho state and open up room
for further corruption. 'Tis never
to late to do good, says the adagc,
but if such a thing is good, it
should have been built long, long
ago. Here We havo waited till
they are nearly all dead and some
one suggests that wo build Il home
for them. WAIT till Il man starvcs
then feed him, wait till he is dead,
then give hlm medicine.
Now, | would be as glad as any
body to see such home If know
it would benciit even twenty p,r
cent of them, but it will not.
Will" it might benefit Il few, ii
would deprive hundreds of oth"rs
of many dollars in the way OF pen.
sions. | have talked with manv'
old soldiers and they UNANIMOUSLY
agree that they had rather live on
bread and water with their relatives
and friends than 20 to a home.
Raising the appropriation for pom
sions would bring more benefit to
the old soldiers, and that is what
Should be done. Magistcr.

senting himself to be the individ,

made. Kelley, with all his fami
ly seems to be out on Begging
expedition,with no settled purpos,
of trying to better his condition
by work. Limited inquiry and
investigation will lead one to con,
cude that he and his family need

they need the gifts of people in.

she was a fno-looking woman. In

editor of the Medium happened to
be on the detail to haul stock to
