HOME CURED MEATS.

While it is a great convenience to
have the butcher kill and dress the
meats needed on the farm, it is still
poor economy for the farmer to sell to
the butcher at wholesale prices and
buy his meat back at retail figures.
The almost lost art Of corning and
drying beef, Of preparing sausage, salt
pork, smoked hams and bacon should
be revived, at every farmhouse. No
packing house product compares in
quality with the old fashioned home
cured meats. We would not wish to
bring back the old hog killin' time" !"
because all that is far better done by
others, but the care of the meat and
Its preservation for future use should
be one Of the farm economies.

RIRDs THAT ARE CoNn


We were recently asked by lady
friend what had become Of the night
hawks $and whippoorwills which used
to be such common birds all through
the western country. Some way our
attention had not been called to the al
most entire disappearance of these
birds until this question was asked, but
II 81 only too true that they are gone,
and probably gone for good Possibly
the destruction of the woods may ac-.
c0u4t for the disappearance of the
whippoorwill, whose quaint and al
most ghostly call used to break the pro-
found and solemn stiffness of the mid
summer evening" call closely asso
ciated with the chir-r Of the tree toad,
the flashes from low lying and dis
tant thundercloud and the fragrance of
June roses held captive by the humidi-
ty of June night. In common with its
near relative, the night hawk, its habits
but Ill fitted it to survive contact with
mans benevolent civilization his mer-
ciless small boy, his prowling cats, his
barbaric partner, who would have un-
feelingly worn wing from Noah's
dove were but such the fashion Or
possibly these birds, even IL In no man
ner molested by man, have, in common
with other types Of wild life, migrated
to sections Of the country where nei-
ther man nor his work has marred the
fair face Of nature.
