Hogs of 200 to 25O pounds weight
are best for family use. In dressing
a hog it should be SO hung that 1t can
be split down the back, and the sides
allowed to separate, the head being
cut off. The leaf and some other sur
plus fat should be removed at once.
This allows the meat to cool thorough
iy, and it is in good shape to handle.
The meat barrel should be kept In
cool place without freezing. A good
way to keep the hams and shoulders
after being cured Is to slice and Try
and pack in jars, covering with hot
lard. Fresh pork may be kept this
way in hot weather, but 1t must be
thoroughly cooked. While the cured
meat requires much less cooking to
preserve 1t.
Allow the hog to thoroughly cool be-
fore cutting, carefully trim hams and
shoulders and split the sides in two
lengthwise. Sprinkle bottom of bar
rel with fine salt, and rub each piece
Of meat with salt. Pack in barrel with
hams on the bottom, shoulders next
and sides on top. After three days
cover the meat with brine made as
follows: Water, 8 gallons; salt. IL
pounds; sugar, pounds; saltpeter, 3
ounces; concentrated I've. 8 teaspoons.
Boil all together and skim. After cool
ing, pour over the meat. Leave in
brine from four to six weeks, then
smoke as desired. The brine should
be strong enough to bear up an egg.

The Farm and the Man.


How any farm should be cropped
depends upon where the farm is. its
character and location. Some farms
are by nature pasture farms, because
they are not adapted to cultivation;
other farms invite tillage. Size, too,
is controlling factor. A crop rota-
ton and schedule of farm work that
is admirable for fifty acres may be
wholly impracticable for five hundred
or a thousand. The ambition to own
and cultivate broad acres is an Ameri-
can disease. This disease is not SO
much desire to add to worldly pos
sessions as it is for qualification of
the ownership of dominion; when an
alyzed it will be found to be a feature
of mans kinship with nature.
Another and the most important fac
tor of all is the man himself The
man makes the farm good or bad, as
he makes everything else that comes
under his control. The experience of
one farmer is invaluable to another,
but each farm is nevertheless a separ-
ate and local problem which the farm
er must think out and work out him
self.
Farming for Profit.
In farming for profit in this country
it beHooves one to listen to the teach
ings of experience gained by farmers
in Great Britain. Robert n. Rev,
chief of the statistical branch Of the
British Board of Agriculture, has
brought out the fact that during the
last thirty years there has been al
most a steady decrease in the area
devoted to grain culture, and reIa-
lively steady increase in the acreage
devoted to pasturage and meadow
lands. The number Of cows and heif-
ers in milk or in calf indicates that
the dairy industry has held it's own in
the face Of foreign competition much
better than has the growing of grain.
A Ration of Pumpkins.
Pumpkins are a most excellent food
for mi1ch cows, but owing to their
bulky nature and their tendency to
freeze and decay, they are chiefly val
answer splendid purpose, to be fed
for a couple Of weeks while the cows
are changing from grass to dried or
preserved fodder. In. some instances.
when fed in very large quantities, the
seed has very stimulating effect on
the urinary system, which may be pre-
vented by removing the seed part.

When a youth Count Dory compelled John,

great extent. 1t is still borne In mind,
though, that the first battlefield of the
Reformation was in Germany, and that the
Germans had declared for freedom of
conscience in matters of religion long be-
fore any other people, and that the teach
ings of the Geneva School of Theology
found followers in Germany as readily as
in Scotland. although the German Presby-
terians were spared any such experience as
their Scotch brethren had under the gentle
ministrations Of General Claverhouse, who
went about his task very much as did the
duke of Alva set about a similar undertake
ing in the low countries, and the Holy
league in unhappy France. In America
the English-speaking church naturally
ovorshadows the German in the public eye,
but of the latter there exists a consider
able body. which enters vigorously into all
the activities of church organization and
existence. Last Sunday delegates from
churches contained in what is known as the
central district concluded the work of the

Burr McIntosh's Monthly is as unique in
methods as it is in form. 1t is the idea
of the gifted publisher to do something
out of the ordinary each month. He Illus
trates IT with photographs made in his
own studio. and with photographers and
half-tones made from these photographs.
The value of his photographs is shown by
the fact that he was awarded a prize Of
1000 francs for a photograph of Maude
Fealy in a competition arranged by the
Figaro OF Paris, in which there were more
than $1,000 photographs from all quarters
of the globe submitted. Mr.. Mcintosh thus
refers to his magazine and its illustrations:
In referring to our illustrations l feel
that, in a measure, apologies are due those
of our readers who are disappointed be-
cause of lack of literature. We have never
promised the latter. Our entire claim to
possible merit lies IN our Illustrations. The
market is flooded with really excellent and
interesting literary publications, but II is
because we felt that there was room for
one more illustrated monthly such as we
offer that the venture was made. In time
and the time seems near at hand-we
shall wish to become an interested spec
tator and reflector in the progressive march
OF the various branches of art. science and
literature, which may be reflected by re-
productions. In the meantime. until con-
