CURING HAMS AND SHOULDERS.

have d request from a farmer e
wife to please send a good Kentucky
recipe for curing hams and shoulders,
as they are famous for their excel
lence. 1 send "blue grass" farmers g
method who is noted for his delight
full hams and sweet bacon. AS we
all know how very different hams
taste in different homes, 1t is we'll to
take note of the succe ssful ones. He
says: "I have found the use of
DO dered bOrax on meat the very
best way to keep shippers and other
insects from it. When the meat is
taken up to be dried, / wash it in Gle An
water and as hot as can bear it,
and while damp sprinkle powdered
borax all over the flesh SIDE of every
piece, and I need fear no farther
from insects, although my hams and
shoulders hang in the smoke house
till cured without even a sack on
them.
eff the summer is very dry, re-
wash and put more borax on in July
and August. The taste OF the meat
is not injured. have used this for
years it is inexpensive and preserves
the meat from faint. Each ham may
be tied up in a canvass or paper bag,
or they may be left hanging in cool,
dry place, and will be found in ex-
cellent condition"
When wanted for use, the meat is
sweet and juicy. Shoulders may be
treated in the same way.

And many other things In proper
ton. Now we figure on these prices
and find that we pay about forty per
cent Nov if we buy TO the amount
of $40 and only make cotton enough
to pay $IO6, we are in debt t34, and
must either sell our corn or some
thing else 80 pay the debt or get the
merchant to carry is over to next
year, which IS frequently done. Sup
pose we do tuis for three years then
we must give u mortgage on our
land. After this comes the sale OF
our home, and tlen we become rent
ers or move away ID work at some
thing else for living. Now if we
are compelled 30 have help, it is far
BETTER TO BORROW MONEY
and pay the inter ct than TO buy
goods at high prices on crop time
When you borrow money youshOuld
be very careful how you buy. Do
not buy any more than you Gan pos
sibly help. In some parts of Georgia
the farmers borrow money at eight
per cent. per annum TO buy fertlll
zers and supplies. The banks fur
nish the money, but do not lend
directly the farmers, but have some
of the directors TO take the farmers
notes secured by mortgage and de-
post these in the banks as collateral.
The f,rmers pay the cost of exeout-
ing the papers, which never exceeds
one dollar, and often not more than
ff5y cents. it is said that the farm
ers who follow this plan are very
prosperous.
If changing the laws of the State
will hep farmer, then let Us have
the change. While farmers are In
trouble on account of short crops, 1t
ia a good time to do some hard think
ing and prepare for the future.

NEW YORK VS.. NORTH CAROLINA FOR
DAIRYING.
But we in the South are not doing
this. Our dairy cattle are not max
ing any profit for their owners
! These machines are worthless. 1t
costs to keep them gong the full
amount obtained by the sale Of the
prodOcs they make. To prove my
point, will take the results from
the United States Census.
In 1890, North Carolina had $685.
416 mrlch COWS which produced 468,
$50, ,652 pounds Of milk, or an aver
age tor each COW Of 2,O97 pounds.
The same year the State of New
York, with a million acres less in
farms, had LAO 23O milk COWS
which produced 443, ,296, $40 pounds
of milk, or an average for each milk
COW of 3,779 pounds. Without max
ing any comparisons for acreage, or
sections of the country, or kinds of
feed, the COWS Of our s ate produced
but half the quantity Of milk as
| thOre of New York. The average
cow of North Carolina with her
2,O79 pounds of milk produced $62 80
from a commercial standpoint; the
average cow of New York with her
3,779 pounds of milk produced milk
worth $l13 81, difference of &51 in
favor of the New York COW, as a
manufacturing machine.
This is not a matter of guess work.
It is not a matter of few COWS, but
the actual facts dealing with every
miloh COW in these two States. We
look to New York as great, wealthy,
and prosperous state; she is so be-
cause the farmers, through
EDUCATION AND SKILL AND SCIENCE
are making their herds and focks
superior to other States. Let uG get
to work. Here in the South-God's g
own blest land, with dairy foods in
abundance, an a climate and en-
viroments unsurpassed by any other
State, we should develop and breed
up our herds, so as not to have COWS
with a small yearly yield of 2,O79
pounds, but twice that amount.
Let Us see then in future article
how we can get more productive
dairy COWS.

RDanoke News: In talking with
farmers in various parts of Halifax
county we find that while the cotton
crop is short that the peanut crop is
still shorter. Mr.. Paul Garrett, who
makes the best of wines, and who is
also one of the largest growers of
peanuts IN the county, says that he
planted twice as many acres this
year as he did last year, and that he
did not make as many peanuts on
the double acreage as he gathered
last year.

The Wisconsin station has been
carrying on an exhaustive test to de-
termine the effect of salt in butter
upon the water content. Briefly
their conclusions are that unsalted
butter while having the appearance
of being dry really contains about
three per cent more water than that
salted. In the butter that was
worked twice, the difference was even
greater.

In some sections Of Ohio all the
principal towns are connected with
gravel roads, which also radiate from
the towns into the country. In Full
ton county. five to ten miles Of these
narrow roads are built annually. A
narrow. well-rounded roadbed is first
prepared and deep drains opened up
on each side. The road is frequently
graded with a scraper the first year,
until the gravel Is thoroughly packed.
These roads last from five to eight
years when thew must be regraveled.
