CURING HAMS.


Good Old Fashioned Ways of Making
Tasty Meats.
1t Is none too early to be acquiring
any information that may be useful in
"hog killing" time. The following di-
rections are therefore reproduced from
the Farm Jolrnal, which believes them
to be 1.-The best rules for pork"
Hams and shoulders should be cured
as soon as possible after the meat Is
cold all through. Place them on a
board or table In the cellar, skin side
down. Make a mixture in this proper
ton: For every hundred pounds of meat
take four pounds of the best fine salt,
two ounces of powdered saltpeter and
four ounces Of brown sugar. Rub this
well into the hams all over and push
some into the hook end around the
bone. Rub until they will take no
more; let them lie on the board and in
a week rub in the rest. Let them lie
for about sixteen days altogether; then
hang them up by a string through the
hook in cool, dark smokehouse,
smoking and Wrapping.
Keep up good smoke from hickory
chips smothered with sawdust during
the day for two or three days. Keep
in cool place and before spring exam
inc to see that no insects have depos-
tied eggs. Dust little cayenne pep
per around the bone wrap closely in
brown paper, then with coarse muslin
to fit the ham exactly and stitch tight
ly. Give a coat of whitewash or of
chrome yellow and hang in cool,
dark, dry place
Curing In Pickle.
For curing them in pickle, which
some prefer, though we do not, to a
gallon of water take a pound and a
half of salt, half a pound of sugar and
half an ounce each of saltpeter and
potash. In this ratio the pickle can be
increased to enough to cover any
amount of pork Boil together until
all dirt rises TO the top and Is skinned
off. When cold. pour it over the hams
or pork. which may be picked In this
way. The meat must be well covered
by 1t and should not be put down for
at least two days after killing, during
which time it should be slightly sprln-
Killed. with saltpeter, which removes all
the surface blood. leaving the meat
fresh and clean.

Hon. Joseph Hare is an old and re-

friends and was a loyal and efficient
representative Of Bismarck and the

have been respected residents of Bis

upbuilding of Bismarck for many years

merely go to show that the skunk is
no respector of persons. 1t was only
a few months ago that the Palladium
was fulsome in it's praise of Mr.. Hare
as a candidate ito be renominated for
the legislature. But that was before
Nh. Patterson's contribution to the
cause of public decency and purity
was led into the harness to make the

Palladium and Settler are merely car

THE REAL ISSUE.

The Tribune has no desire to roast
Patterson" further than to show the
reason for all this outpouring OF venom
upon the republican candidates for
state and legislative Office. MI. Pat
terson is merely the Benedict Arnold
of the present campaign-nothing more
or less. He occupies an interesting,
if not a conspicuous or honorable, 20
sition in the present. BATTLE. 1t would
not be necessary, and it would Ger
tainly be more in keeping with the
public desires. to make mention of
him at all, We're it not for the protesta-
tons of purity and reform from the
independent democratic campaigners
and newspaper NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
which all thinking voters know to be
the veriest bosh.
The real issue in the campaign is
that the republicans of Burleigh county
have in delegate convention nomin-
ated a legislative and county ticket,
which is before the people asking for
their suffrages. Eliminating the glib
berish which the opposition outpours
two Or three times a week, the question
is whether the republican nominees are
fitted for the positions they ask for,
and whether the republican county
administration of affairs has been
clean, decent and honorable. The
Tribune has already shown from fig
nlps taken from the county records
that the financial condition of the
county has much improved under re-
publican management of affairs. that
the county debt has been reduced. and
that the taxes of the farmers have been
reduced. The affairs of the auditors
and treasurerss offices have been hon.
estly and rightly administered. The
same is true of the work of the county
commissioners. That they cooper
ated with the citizens committee to OBJ
tain another transcontinental road in
to Bismarck, securing hundreds Of
thousands of dollars worth of addi-
tional taxable property, better freight
rates, better railroad accommodations,
greater courtesy and consideration for
shippers all through the county, is
true. And it is also true that not a
cent has been contributed by the peo-
pie of Burleigh county toward the 500
