times out of 100. OF course it may fail

balks, no matter how badly he sulks, or
how ugly he is, do not beat him; don't
throw sand in his ears; don't use a rope
on his forelegs or even burn straw un-
der him. Quietly go and pat him on the
head a moment: take a hammer or even
pick up a stone in the street; tell the
driver to sit still. take his lines, hold
them quietly, while you lift up either

and a good smart tap on the frog; drop
the foot quickly. and then ehirp to him

Rec;,e n Cure Hams

A prize of $50 offered by the Charles
ton News and Courier for the best half
dozen smoke cured hams made in
South Carolina from hogs born after
Nov. i, 1895, was awarded to hams
cured by the following recipe: ITO 100
pounds of meat, use four quarts o..
salt four pounds brown sugar and
three ounces saltpeter. The ingred
tents to be We'll mixed, the salt having
been beaten fine. When the meat is
cold, rub in two-thrds of the mixture
and pack meat in cask, reversing the
pieces from top to bottom. Let them
remain three weeks, reversing pieces
once a week. AT the end of two weeks
pour off liquor in the cask, boil and
skim till clear, and when cool pour
over the meat again. AT the end of
three weeks wash meat in hot water,
wife dry and smoke three weeks. after

cure their own hams might do we'll to
preserve this recipe, but We would sug-
gest that the length OF time for re-
naming in the brine and that required
for smoking might vary a little. ac-
cording to the size of the ham, as the
small ham or shoulder would be cured
a little quicker than the large ham.
Something might also depend upon the
taste of those who intended to eat 1t.
as some want but little salt and others

up the cracks that wrinkled their hard
faces, they seemed to smile, as if the
Christmas joy had somehow moved
something in their old, stony hearts.
The people We're all there-farmers,
ranchers, cowboys, wives and children
all hsppy, all proud of their new
church, and now all expectant, waiting
for the Pilot and the Old Timer, who
were to drive down if the Pilot was fit
and were to bring Gwen If the day was
fine AS the time passed on Bill, as
master of ceremonies, began to grow
uneasy. Then Indian Joe appeared
and handed note to Bill He read 1t,
grew gray in the face and passed 1t to
me. Looking, l saw in poor, wavering
lines the words:
Dear Bill--Go on with the opening Sing
the psalm--you know the one-and say q
prayer, and. oh. come to me quick, Bill.
YOUR PILOT.
Bill gradually pulled himself to-
gether, announced in strange voice,
.The Pilot can't come" handed me the
psalm and said:
Make them sing"
1t was that grand psalm for all hill
peoples, Il to the hills will lift mine
eyes," and with wondering faces they
sang the strong, steadying words.
After the psalm was over the people
sat and waited Bill looked at the
Hon. Fred Ashley. then at Robbie
Muir, then said to me in u low voice:
kin you make prayer?'
l shook my head, ashamed, as did
co. of my cowardice.
Again Bill paused. then said:
".rhe Pilot says there's got to be a
prayer. Kin any one make one!
Again dead, solemn silence.
Then Hi, who was near the back,
said, coming to his partners help:
whats the matter with you trying,
yourself, Bi!l?'
The red began to come up in Bills
white face.
"'Tain't in my line, but the Pilot
says there's got to be prayer. and
I'm going to stay with the game"
Then, leaning on the pulpit, he said:
Lets pray" and began:
God Almighty, | amt no good at
this, and perhaps you'll understand il
1 don't put things right" Then
pause followed, during which l heard
some of the women beginning to sob.
What l want to say Bill went on,
'fs we're mighty glad about this
church, which we know it's you and
the Pilot that's worked 1t. And We're
all glad TO chip in
Then again he paused, and, looking
up, saw his hard, gray face working
and two tears stealing down his
cheeks. Then he started again:
.'But about the Pilot don't want to
persoom but If you don't mind we'd
like to have him stay. In fact, don't
see how we kin do without him. Look
at all the hoys here. He's just get
ting his work in and is bringing 'em
right along, and, God Almighty, if
you take him away it might be a good
thing for himself. but for us-O God"

OCEAN STEAMER RECORDS.

That the speed limit of ocean liners
has been reached no one believes, but
the recent performance Of the Deutsch-
land in breaking the transatlantic
speed record by only three minutes
conveys the impression that some new
attachment or Improvement in con-
struction viii be necessary before any
highly striking reduction of the time
occupied in crossing viii take place.
The Deutschland crossed in five days,
eleven hours and fifty-four minutes.
When the Persia made the trip from
New York to Queenstown in nine days
one hour and forty-fye minutes, in
1856, it was believed by many people
that the best time had been reached,
and the record did remain unbroken
until 1863. when the trip between the
two ports was made by the Scotia in
eight days and three hours. In 1869 the
City of Brussels reduced the time to
seven days, twenty-five hours and
eAree minutes. and held the palm for
speed until 1873, when the Baltic made
the trip in seven days, twenty hours
and nine minutes. Two years later the
City of Berlin Topped about five hours
off the Battles record, but year later
had to give way to the Britannia, which
made the trip in seven days, twelve
that time the Arizona, the Alaska, the
Oregon the Etruria, the City of Paris,
the Teutonic, the Camrania and the
Lucania have each In turn reduced the
time between New York and Queens
town, the first to make the run in less
than six days being the City of Paris
In 1889.
In 1897 the Kaiser Wilhelm der
Crosse made the trip from New York
TO Southampton In five days, seventeen
hours and eight minutes, and then re-
duced her own record several times.
In lSon~sas Deutschland sailed from
New York to plymouth in five days,
Beven hours and twNnty-eight minutes,
and a year later the kronprinz, on her
first voyage from New York to Ply
mouth. made record Of five days, nine
hours and forty-two minutes. The
Oceanica's trip from Liverpool to New
York in five days, seventeen hours and
fifty minutes was one of the notable
steamship achievements of the year
1901.

ling is just as effective If thoroughly

to be intrinsieally not worth as much

This is 4 little severe on some very

is new product, not understood, and
received with suspicion. 1t must make
its way. Ii can not do that in a year or
two, but ii it has the merits claimed
for 1t. it Will soon get its dues. The
reference made by the Ransom county
farmers to the similarity between the
present attitude of the market toward
the new wheat and the chilliness of the
reception given to some OF the now
widely used varieties, when first intro
duced, is merely proof that macaroni
wheat is simply meeting the fate Of all
new corners into the wheat world.
One thing that would help the new
wheat in IFS fight for recognition would
be the adoption of a new name. Ma

country dagos are not held in very high
esteem. by. another name macaroni
wheat bread might taste much sweeter
and the grain be more highly priced.
Russian hard or some other name
would help push the new wheat into
public favor if it deserves to be in
favor.
