CUTTING UP PORK CARCASS.
kidney fat intact. Remove the paunch
with the intestines, keeping all clean,
the diaphragm and remove the lungs
and heart, together with the windpipe
Remove the tongue.
A convenient way of cutting the car
cass is shown in the illustrat ton Three
cross sections are made-One removes
the head, the next the shoulders be-
tween the fourth and fifth ribs, and
the next takes off the hams. The car
cass can then be easily sawed through
with the meat saw This plan requires
very little trimming for the hams.
Shoulders can be trimmed easily by re-
moving the ribs or neck piece and cut
ting away the scraps for sausage and
lard. The middle piece is then split
through the center and the lower two
thirds of the side removed, saving
through the ribs. The ribs are then
taken out of the side piece, leaving the.
lean meat On the side. A part of the
flank may be removed for lard, and the
remainder will be available to be cured
for bacon.
The lean meat on the upper third of
the back, including the ribs, is called
the pork loin and is excellent for chops
or roasting pieces. Fat trimmings may
be used for lard and the lean trimmings
for sausage. The head and feet are
scraped and cleaned and used for head
cheese or picked. Meat should never
be sailed until thoroughly cooled, after
which the quicker it goes into the salt
barrel the better.-American Cultiyator.

ships by Russian cruisers of the vol
unteer fleet In the Red seq.
Despite the denial cabled from Lon
don. that the British government has
issued orders TO the Mediterranean
squadron to proceed to Alexandria, It i
known in Washington that the British
tabinet is seriously considering the
necessary steps.
One of the legations has received o
dispatch from it's European representa-

the British government is determined

from Russia q disavowal and repara,
tion for the vessels already seized, ant
ito make Russia clearly understand
that she must comply with these de.
mands or else abide by the conse'
%quences.
1t is known through official channels
that much excitement exists in Eng
land. While there is no expectation
that Mr.. Balfour and his colleagues
will do anything rash or u~ndignified
and will not move without a proper ap.
probation of the gravity Of the stu.

their part, Ii is quite certain that they
will r~esolutely deal with the matter.

Russia either wants war with Eng.

A IN CHARGE.
Japanese Field Marshal Changing Plan
of the Campaign.

st. Petersburg, July 23.-AS an out
come of Lieutenant General Count
Keller's engagement at Molten pass
the military experts are convinced that
there has been a Encouragement of the
Japanese troops, and a change in the
Japanese plans in favor of a thanking
movement on Tatchekiao. This change
coinciding with the arrival of Field
Marshal Oyama, leads the experts to
attribute the responsibility to the new
commander-in-chief. Whoever is re-
sponsible, it is admitted hat tho Jap
anese are showing an appreciation Of
the present aspect OF the campaign.
Hitherto General Kuropatkin has been
able to mislead General Kuroki, Cen
eral Nodzu and General Oku and to
induce them to expend their greatest
energy where 1t should do the least
harm.
The center of interest has again been
transferred TO Lao Yang and the Rus
slams are able at this juncture to regard
the situation with proper equanimity.
The Lao Yang position is Of such
strength that Kuroki's advance would
be welcomed by General Kuropatkin.
1t Is probable that Kuropatkin ordered
Keller to attack to draw on the Jap
anese just as he sent General Stakel-
berg to draw them up from the south.
The developments OF the campaign in
the near future are bound to be greatly
Influenced by a new factor, the luxur-
lance of the vegetation following the
few days rain and by the rains them
selves, which are due any day. The
tall grass effectually concealing an
enemy, renders the prospect of an adj
vance to the valley of the Lao river
TOO hazardous. and therefore * PROT
ably las been abandoned by the Jap
anese, thus explaining the delay in the
occupation of Yin Kow. On, the other
hand, if the rains begin soon, 1t is ex-
itremely improbable that Field Marshal
lOyma Will venture to order an advance
on Lao Yang, in view of the enormous
difficulties of transportation over the
heavy roads and the swollen streams.
