For each hundred pounds of meat
weigh out five pounds of salt. two
pounds of granulated sugar and two
ounces of Saltpeter and mix them thor
osghly. Rub the meat once every
three days with a third of the mix
ture While the meat is curing it is
best to have it packed in a barrel or
tight box. For the sake of conven-
fence it is advisable to have two bar
rels and to transfer the meat from one
to the other each time it is rubbed.
After the last rubbing the meat should
lie in the barrel for week or ten days
when it will be cured and ready to
smoke. To cure nicely it will be desir-
able to have a cool and rather moist
place in which to keep it. This recipe
should not be used where the meat
must be kept in warm and dry place,
as the preseryatives will not penetrate
easily and uniformly.-Andrew Boss.

GENERAL PURPOSE SHEEP.
The Demand For Both Mutton and
Wool Rapidly Increasing.

The Demand For Both Mutton and
Wool Rapidly Increasing.
There is probably more of the pro-
verbal restlessness of the shepherd
among the sheep breeders of the east
ern states than in any other locality.
Our billy country seems particularly
adapted to the Merino, Vermont espe-
cially having produced many of the
best and most noted focks of this ia
nous breed the world has ever seen.
l am now referring to the wrinkly
Spanish type. At present we hear but
little of these once coveted fiocks.
Breeders tired of the Objectionable
wrinkles, and today they are rapidly
being replaced by the several families
as close second.
fortunately for the breeders of the
Merino times have changed, and sheep
can no longer be bred for their wool
alone, while on the other hand a con-
tinually increasing demand for NUT
ton and lambs for slaughter calls en-
phatically for still another type of
sheep. Here again the breeder con-
fronts problem, for, as l have al
ready stated, sheep can no longer be
bred for their wool alone in the east.
Neither can they be raised with profit
for their lambs alone, with the posi-
bic exception of a choice few fattened
by experts or by dollhouse breeders for
early markets. This being the case,
eastern breeders have been forced to
seek for still another class of sheep
that would proitably produce both
wool and mutton
Pure breds were tried with more or
less success, usually less. 1t was soon
found that the long woods, such as the
Lincoln, Cotswold and Leicester, that
thrived so satisfactorily on the rich
bottom lands of old England, were not
adapted to the rigorous climate of our
New England, not being strong enough
in constitution to withstand the ex.
IRENE climatic conditions with the com.
paratively scanty feed on our old hill

under most conditions. Unless the wa
ter is very warm in the tank it will
form ice and freeze quicker running
than if not running. If You have a
windmill to supply the water by let
ting the water run and also the mill
you will be all right. but any other
kind of a supply will not be satisfac-

The other tank is supplied by a ram,
and the water is so cold coming from
the ram that ii will often freeze while
the ram is working.
With this style of protection you
have an advantage over any other
method as by setting a lamp under the
box you can thaw the worst kind of
a freeze in very short time. The
heat gets direct at the pipe and very
quickly lets the ice loose. and there is
no possible danger from fire, because
the iron pipes are protection. Before
putting up the pipes it is best to paint
them with white lead and oil. which
will keep them from rusting for many
years

Magnesium is one of the elements
absolutely necessary for the growth of
plants says Storer, modern author
ity on agricultural chemistry.
With the advent of ready mixed com
mercial fertilizers and the frequent
reference to the so called essential
elements" there has apparently been
tendency in this country on the part
of both the agricultural press and of
agricultural Investigators to ignore or
forget the possibility that other ele-
mentS than potassium, phosphorus and
nitrogen should frequently be applied
to soils either for their manurial, phys
zeal or chemical effect; hence it is not
surprising that little should have been
heard concerning magnesium. Messrs.
Wheeler and Hartwell of the Rhode Is
land experiment station have. however.
been recently Investigating magnesium
as manure. They record results in
the last annual report Of the station.
Summing up their observations of two
lots of soil from the college and sta
ton farm one appeared to be benefited
by magnesium salts in the presence of
liberal amounts of the three essential
elements of plant food and in the pres
ence of sufficient calcium carbonate to
preclude probable injury from acidity
Any probable deficiency of magnesia
would be covered for many years by a
single application of magnetism lime
Occasional applications of wood ashes
or double sulphate of potash and mag

suit.

A Satisfactory Plan For Preventing

n SATISFACTORY ran For preventing
the Freezing of Stnndpipes.
1t appears by inquiries addressed to
agricultural journals in many parts of
the country that windmills would be
more extensively used for securing
farm water supply were it not for the
difficulty with the freezing of water
pipes. 4 Rural New Yorker writer
who has had a varied experience in
protecting standpipes claims to have
found satisfaction in the following

Outdoor life is Gods own medicine.

Never allow a COW to lie on bare

Where the Country Lays Behind.

One of the chief cornerstones upon
which every great city is founded is
cheap transportation not only for long
distances over both land and water,
but also in the city itself by reason of
paved streets and vehicles propelled by
inanimate power.
The country lacks that important ele-
ment, cheap tra2 ;portation. The vehi-
Gle propelled by animal power, pro-
ceeding over a common country road,
is about as expensive as it was fifty or
a hundred years ago. 1t still costs by
that means 10 cents for passengers per
mile and % cents ton for freight.
1t is the lack of cheap transportation
mainly for which country people suf-
fer. The remedy for this is to improve
public highways at public expense
