SUGAR CURED HAMS.
Method of Sailing aud Smoking
Which Has Bc.n Tried with
Success for y ears.

Al recent meeting of farmers
institute the subject discussed was the
best method of curing and keeping
hams. All members agreed that the
quality Of the meat depended in great
measure upon the kind Of hogs and
the way they were cared for. Much
better meat is obtained from the pure
bred than the common scrub. In
order to be perfectly healthy they neeG
plenty Of range. with as great variety
of feed rs possible, and plenty of fresh
clear water, They should be killed in
cold frosty weather, and after scaG-
ing and cleaning, hung up to cool over
night Several methods of sailing
and smoking were presented, but the
following. which was given by a farmer
who, after years of experience. has
gained the reputation of having the
best sugar-curcd hams IN the county,
was accepted rs the most satisfac-
tory:
Gut the meat up in the morning and
shape the hams nicely. Salt lightly
to bring out the blood, and allow il to
remain day or two. Prepare brine.
using two pounds of salt, two ounces
OF saitpeter, two POUNDS Of brown
sugar, one ounce Of red pepper and
five gallons of water for each 100
pounds of meat. Let this brine, which
should he strong enough to float an
egg. stand until the ingredients have
dissolved, then place the hams in IA
tight barrel and pour the brine over
them until they are covered. After
ten days pour the brine off and cover
with fresh brine prepared as the first
was. When they have been in the
brine n month, take them out. wipe
them with a dry cloth, and while still
camp sprinkle powdered boraX over
them, using a tablespoonful to ten
pounds of meat. a large pepper box
is great help in applying it. Hang
them up and smoke with hickory chips
two or three weeks. Slip each ham
INTO flour sack, tie the ends securely,
and hang them up in a cool dry place
until YOU wish to use them. The pre-
Servative qualities Of borax are rccog-
nized by all who have tried il. and il
is now used in all the large packing
houses. The best meat is made of
hogs weighing $50 to POO pounds. 1t
has long been a question among pro-
grcSSvc farmers as to whether it paid
to produce hogs weighing over 300
pounds. and we are quite certain that
when the object is to obtain meat OF
superior quality it does Rural

SENSIBLE FARM NOTES.

There still remains much land that
can be rendered more valuable than
it is now by thorough drainage.
Hard, clayey soils should be turned
up to the air in the fall so that the
frost can have Il chance to work on
them during the winter
Drain tile should not be laid above
the frost line, especially if it be un-
glazed tile. The hard frosts will pull
vcrize it. Many ditch has had to
be redug on this account.
1t is difficult to keep books on the
farm, but it must be done if the
farmer is to know where he stands
and whether or not he is making
anything by his farm operations.
Farming must be conducted on the
same basis rs any other business.
The sooner the farmers realize this
thc 500 vi. au.c of them he
saved from going the downward road
to bankruptCy.-.S rmcrs' Review.

ABOUT SEED POTATOES.
when Placed in the Ground and Gov
cred with Earth and straw
They Keep Well.

American Gardening tells how some
have kept their potatoes intended for
seed. Selecting them when digging
they store them in dry shed or
barn until the weather gets cold.
About the middle of November they
sort them, rejecting all that show
signs of decay. They then spread n
lnver of straw ci"ht or ton inches
tn.ck upon the ground, and place tne
potatoes on this. The best results
are from mounds about three feet
wide at the base and rising like n
cone to about the same height. This
is covered with straw and then by Il
layer of soil from six to eight inches
thick. Before the weather gets too
severe more soil may be added, and
when the ground is frozen, put on
more straw or strawy manure. They
seem to winter much better than in
cellars or when put in mounds or pits
as soon as dry. We would say that
we think it would not injure the ger
mination of the sprouts il the tubers
were frozen solidly in such n mound,
il they were not disturbed until they
had thawed out in the earth in the
darkness. We have plowed out pota-
toes in the Spring that had lain with
in six inches of the surface of the
ground all winter, where the ground
had been frozen two or three feet
deep, and they were apparently as
sound and fresh as those dug in the

The gypsics, who devote their time
to horses and horse trading, are eX-
perts in taking an animal that is in
poor flesh and getting him in good
condition in Il short time. One of
these gentlemen gives the following
as his favorite ration used for this
purpose: Mix a bushel of faxseed
with like amount of barley and
corn and grind them together. These
proportions can be increased or de-
creased to meet the necessities of
any particular case. This mixture
is to be fed three times a day, after
being mixed with a peck of chopped
hay or straw. Commence with Civ
ing him small amount at first,
gradually increasing it, until he is
fed all he will eat. 1t is recommend
ed as being much better than any
drug treatment for young or old
horses.-Farmers' Voice.

BE DECENT ABOUT IT.
in II Way That Is Neither Cruel
Nor DemOralixing.

The season for hog killing will soon
be present on every farm, and then
we shall see repeated the usual cruel,
heartrending scenes of mans
thoughtless inhumanity. Three or
four men and boys, and perhaps a
yelping dog, will lay siege to the
doomed animal, and with much ado
will catch and throw the beast, which
meantime rends the air with his
squealing as though crying Justify for
mercy; and when at last the knife
has been driven home and the ar
teries severed, all at once the quiet
ness of death prevails, the hog arises,
totters about awhile, ghastly blood
pouring from the wound, the animal
gets weaker and weaker and finally
tumbles over and gives his last dy-
ing kick. The mans wife and chill
dren, and perhaps some of the chill
dren of the neighborhood, have been
silent but Mortified witnesses of the
direful scene. Now is this not de-
lightful picture to present for the
inspection of women and children?
AM, i it not ennobling to all who
witJs.. witness = Z theg,ss2uld be a great
er exhibition of mans apparent cruel
ty to animals, and one that is more
likely to create a feeling in the young
of disregard for things that are gen
tie and kindly, l do not know where
to look for it. True: swine must be
slaughtercd but let it be done in de-
ccncy. When lad | witnessed swine
killing at an abattoir. and | regarded
the method so wicked that | never
forgot it, but really it was no worse
than this. The animals were in a
close pen. Three men did the work
One with n hog hook would catch an
animal under the jaw, an assistant
would help him raise the head up
| and the third would do the sticking.
when the hog was dragged to n chute
and tumbled down it, kicking and
bleeding. A merciful way to kill a
! hog is to strike it in the head with a
suitable implement, producing stupor,
then instantly use the sticking knife.
| This causes instant death. An animal
suffers more from fear than il does
from death itself. A neat unobiec-
tionable method is to drop the open
side of suitable long, narrow box
down over the animal and then turn
box and animal upside down, wnen
! the knife can do it's work and the
box be righted again that the hog can
bleed properly. Humane men will be
apt to pursue one of these better
methods: indeed. many of them do
now; but if they will not, they should
be thoughtful enough to have chill.
