BAKED HAM.
New Feature OF Holiday Feast Bor.
roNed From the south.


roNed From the South.
1t goes without saying that his mai
esty the turkey viii grace the Christ
mas dinner table, but for variety and
to give n new note TO this feast it is an
excellent idea 10 follow the southern
fashion OF introducing ham TO share
honors with the rcigning fowl.
The ham may be either hot or cold
and should be baked TO a crisp brown.
Few there are who understand the art
of preparing ham in this way. First
1t should be partly baked with the
thick outside skin left on. and then
this should be removed and the fat
stuck full OF cloves and left to brown
in a.slow oven. The spice imparts a
deliciously delicate favor and should
not be taken out. but left in the ham
just as it comes from the oven. No
sauce is needed with ham cooked after
this rule.-New York Herald.

 Now that cotton is practically at nine cents. conservative operators will. we think be disposed to reflect carefully before fol- lowing the decline much further. Nine cents in our market means nearly eight cents for actual cotton in the interior. and We fancy that. at such a level. producers will not be at all eager to sell. In fact. we are Inclined to think that the southern player will b1untly refuse to sell his cotton below nine cents. and should thts situation develop, exporters would probably find it 10 their advantage to buy futures which are being freely sold at big discount un- der the price of actual cotton.
