Why, my own little daughter, nine
years old, has taken entire charge of
the dairy work this whole summer,
and she has done it as nicely as most
grown-up persons do. Vacation to
my four little ones has been nothing
but an unceasing rush of work. And
now since school has began I make
every effort to keep them there reg
ularly. But there is no rest for them
mornings and evenings.
The farmer hires no help for his
wife. She must do all herself with
the help of her children. They can
not afford to hire help, and some of
them would not if they could. The
education of farmers children lies
wholly with the mother.
There are always odds and ends of
work to keep John or Mary from
school. But the mother must be
firm; she must do their work herself,
and insist on them going to school.
And what she cannot do must be left
undone. Years are treacherous
friends. They slip away and leave
us; just when we think we have
plenty of time we have no time at
all. So all mothers, do not let the
golden opportunity to educate your
children go by. Be determined that
at any cost you will turn your boys
and girls from the old home, noble
and well-educated men and women.

cious and best hams ever ate was
at his mothers.
After the hogs are killed and
dried, allow them to hang where the
cold air will strike them all night.
Next morning take them down, cut
up, laying the pieces on a slanting
board so as the water will drain off.
Sprinkle salt thickly over each piece.
Leave it two days; then pack the
hams (Which should be trimmed
closely) in a barrel with skin-side
down. Prepare the brine allowing
two pounds of coarse salt to every
gallon of water used.
The water should be almost boil
ing hot, so as to dissolve the salt );
next morning remove all the scum
that arises to the top. Pour the brine
over the meat and let it remain from
six to eight weeks. When taken out,
hang in the smoke-house. Green
chips are best to smoke the meat.
Rub each piece with a wet cloth, put
powdered borax in a pepper box, and
while the meat is damp, dust the flesh
side freely with it, allowing a table
spoonful to a ham. The borax will
prevent bugs or insects and should
always be used where the meat is
kept any time. They considered
borax invaluable in curing shoulders
and hams.

Just a Hint.

Gather" asked Tommy, the other
day, "why is it that the boy is said
to be the father of the manW
Mr.. Tompkins had never given this
subject any thought, and was hardly
prepared to answer offhand.
"Why, why" he said, stumblingly,
"It's so because it is, I suppose"
"Well," said Tommy, "since Pm
your father I'm going to give you
ticket to a theater and dollar be-
sides. I always said that if I was a
father [ wouldn't be so stingy as the
rest of them are. Go in, and have a
good time while you're young. l
never had any chance myself!'
Mr.. Tompkins gazed in blank
amazement at Tommy. Slowly the
significance of the hint dawned upon
him. Producing the silver coin, he
said:
"Take it, Thomas. When you real
Iy do become father, I hope it won't
be your misfortune to have a son who
is smarter than yourself. ."-Ex-

Life on the Florida Keys.

Dear Aunt Jennie The mosqui-
toes are getting just a little thinner,
and / think / will try to write be-
fore the next relay comes on duty.
We have all the doors and windows
screened but enough come in with
us to make life almost a burden.
How / have wished this summer that
I was back home where there is no
such thing as a mosquito bar, and
where, if you wanted mosquito to
bite you, you would have to go to the
swamps to find him. / have missed
the fruit and vegetables too, except
in August when / visited farm
hundred or two miles north of here.
There were so many pears, grapes
and peaches there, and as there we're
no palmettoes around, I almost be-
ieved I was in Carolina.
We have planted our gardens, and
are hoping for nice supply of veg
etables this winter. I don't think that
any better cabbage and beets grow
than are raised on this Key. Toma
toes, too, are very fine of flavor. It
must be the salt in the soil that
makes them so nice. There is a
wild cucumber that grows here, but
we can have no success with cultivat-
ed ones or much with squashes, on
account of an insect. Caulifower
and celery do we'll here, but beans
and peas are inferior. We cannot
have good gardens in summer, but
then there is the cabbage palmetto,
always in season and always good.
We Key dwellers are very partic-
ular about the fish we eat. Some,
times we eat a trout or red fish, but
that is as low as we will go. Null
let takes the lead, occupying the
same place as bacon does among
meats; then we eat pompano, Span
ish mackerel, blue fish, king fish,
grooper, snapper, and several. others,
The progressive farmer., 1902-10-28

with oysters, clans and crabs.
There used to be lots of turtle caught
here In May and June, but so many
people came for them and broke up
every nest they found till this year
they were few and far between, and
there were five men on the beach for
every turtle that crawled. It surely
makes the most delicious steak that
/ have ever eaten.
There is another thing always in
season: the gopher. have never
tasted it but once. It was nice, and
[ can't see why people should be so
prejudiced against them, as they are
entirely herbivorous. But only
few families will eat them. Gophers
are very numerous, too, and I expect
if white meat stays at 18 cents a
pound much longer, people will be-
gin to get over their prejudice.
Cows do not do we'll here; they
take the salt sick, what ever that is,
and there is not one on the Key. We
could have all the hogs we wanted,
but they are hard to fence out and
have been exiled.
There are several Northern and
two Western families to come. to this
Key this winter. There was only
seven before and they were some
what scattered. It will not be much
better, as there are no young people
among them, and there we're only
two families with children in them
before.
I have lived all summer in sight
of one of the finest bathing beaches,
and have not been in but once. I
wonder at myself sometimes. I
could go in the bay often, as it is
but ten steps from the door, but it
is not so nice as the gulf, and I am
afraid of the sting-rays.
/ wanted to tell you how we cook
ed our fish, but my letter is getting
too long for any but mullet and snap
per. We fry or boil mullet, and eat
with lime juice: Snappers are al
ways baked with a dressing of bread
crumbs, onions, black pepper, bacon,
or lard, and little vinegar. We lay
slices of bacon on them and put a
little water in the dish, adding more
when they. are done to make them
soft. MARGARET.

A Country Mother to Country Mothers.

Dear Aunt Jennie AS the ques-
ton of child labor is being agitated
at present, I will say few words on
the subject.
If anything is done at all, it will
be for children who work in facto-
ries and public works, and / truly
hope something will be done for
them. But when I think of the hun
dreds of poor farmers children who
must milk and feed, chop wood, and
do chores all the icy winter, then
take a hand in planting and hoeing
reaping and moving, from March
until November, and pick cotton and
go barefooted until Christmas, while
rich mems children are at school,
we'll fed and warmed, it makes me
very bitter toward the perpetrators
of these conditions, and I long for
the time to come when there will be
some respite for the farmer, his
wife, and children.
Of course, in some cases, it is the
parents fault. There are men who
look on their children as so many
slaves, and the more they can get
out of them at the least cost to them
selves, the better they are pleased.
But this is an exception to the rule,
we will hope. Let us give the farmer
a benefit of the belief that they love
their children as much as other men
love theirs, and would do as well by
them, did circumstances allow.
I think / have heard some talk of
not working children in the facto-
ries until they are twelve years old,
and not over nine hours at a time.
Now the average farmers son is up
before day and works until dark, in
summer plowing all the long sultry
day, just as soon as he can reach the
plow handle. There is no limit to
his labor hours. Girls on farm have
dozens and dozens of tasks in a day.

Sugar Cured Hams.

Dear Aunt Jennie "A farmers
wife who reads The Progressive
Farmer every week has written for
the bluegrass recipe and method of
curing hams, shoulders and bacon.
She read my article on this subject
several years ago, and has wanted it
ever since, she says.

worthy a sister house-keeper. I

Aunt Jennie's Letter.

We have an exceedingly interest
ing letter from Margaret this week.
This Margaret's home is in Florida,
while another Margaret who con-
tributes to this department, is living
in North Carolina. This contributor
ioined our circle some time since,
and I failed to notice that the two
writer's had chosen the same nom de-
plume, but we will know the last one
as Margaret the second, or North
Carolina Margaret. There is so lit
tie in name, they say. Both write
well, and we are glad to have them
with us whenever they can come.
I forgot to note the literary aspi-
rations of one of our contributors
who has recently begun the publica-
ton of a small monthly in Western
Carolina. I refer to Alvin Horton.
I have seen a copy of his paper and
read it with pleasure. Success to you,
my boy. The "Yancey Tar Heel" is
the name of his paper, and it is pub
lished at Paint Gap.
Sincere's letter has the right ring,
and we will say more on her subject
next week.
Now how many of you will let me
know that you have not forgotten my
and your department in The Pro
gressive Farmer? The long nights
are coming and we must cheer up
and take a hand in the endeavor to
cheer others. There are quite a long
list off subscribers on our book who
take no other paper than ours and
the family reading is just what we
are good enough to give them-sim-
ply this and nothing more. Can we
improve the corner we occupy? ]
think we can if all will help. Let
us bestir ourselves and see if we can
One man wrote not long since to
please stop his paper; that his chill
dren were in school now and they
could not study their books and read
the paper all the time. "Wait until
school ends and I will want it again,

believes that he is right, is radically
wrong. The best and brightest schol-
ars are those from homes where there
