When you kill your pork hogs, cut
the bacon, spread it, and let it lie long
enough to get out all the animal heat
Then salt it down-covering it thor
oughly with salt. When it has sailed
long enough, hang it and let it dry
WE'LL then subject it to the following
process to keep it sound and sweet
by keeping OFF the skipper fly:
Get you some ashes, by burning
sweetgum, hickory and maple, either
separately or all mixed Take down
your meat about the first of March
wipe it well to get all the skipper eggs
off Have a rack of round sticks, on
which other sticks are laid twelve
inches apart; lay the meat on It, and
cover over the fieshy part well with
ashes. AS soon as the skipper fly
makes its appearance, use the com
mon fly poisons in smokehouses, make
up just as for house flies; renew it
twice a week, and it will attract the
attention of the skipper flies, and kill
them. and run out the rats, too. If
the above recipe is followed strictly
there will never be a skipper in the
whole number of your hams and
shoulders. A dark and tight house is
always preferable, so that the yenti.
lation comes down through the top OF
the house, which should be well wired
to keep the flies from coming down.

In Winchester, England, a grocer
began to miss money from his till,
and set his wife to watch. After two
weeks the wife was not able to de-
tect the thief, though money was
stolen almost every day. There were
two clerks in the store, and the
grocer finally called them thieves
and discharged them.
When two others had taken their
places the money continued to dis
appear, and the case was given to the
police. An officer who hid under the
counter solved the problem. He
found bits Of paper representing
about $50 that the mice had made
nests Of They had entered the till
through a hole in the back and taken
the bills one at a time,
The two clerks who had been dis.
charged for dishonesty brought suit
for damages, and the other day the
grocer was compelled to pay them
$500 each.

Serving Waiting Customers.

The ginners lot is not generally a
happy one. The reason is that, as a
rule, he is serving waiting customers.
If a belt becomes unlaced, or any
trihing delay occurs, it is a warm
time around the ginhouse-and the
warmest man about Is the owner.
The occupation, therefore, is peculiar,
and demands preparation not essen
tial in other lines, The first, in the
order of procedure, is to buy early so
as to be ready for the first few scat
tering bales that come in The han.
ding of these will give fine chance
to try and TO adjust everything, and
get the help trained. No modern gin
merry should be started with the yard
full of cotton. The help is excited,
but none more so than the owner, and
if things don't 90 off just right from
the jump, he gets shock to his CON
fidence which it takes weeks to over
come. What upsets him completely
wouldn't phase an experienced man,
and the less he knows the worse he
is scared The other things he should
do are to buy from responsible
house, buy the best and get the best
help to be had.

A weII.Known Remedy.

One of the oldest, safest and most
favorably known remedies in the
world to-day is Brandreth's Pills-a
blood purifier and laxative. Being
purely vegetable, they can be used by
old or young with perfect safety, and
while other remedies require increased
doses and finally cease acting alto
gether, with Brandreth's Pills the
same dose always has the same effect,
no matter how long they are taken.
One or two pills taken each night for
while is the best thing known for
any one troubled with constipation, in
digestion, dyspepsia or any trouble
arising from impurity Of the blood.
Brandreths Pills have been in use
for over a century, and are for sale
everywhere, plain or sugarcoated.

DREAM REVEALS HIS NAME,
Man Who Forgets Identity Found to
Be Prosperous Banker.

Sacramento, GAIA dream has
cleared up the mystery of the man
who forgot his identity. Several days
ago a welldrossed passenger on a
train from the east visited the police
station and requested the aid of Chief
Denny toward asCertaining who he
was, where he had come from and
what he was in Sacramento for On
all other subjects the man was per,
fectly rational, but he was at an utter
loss to accou't for his identity or his
presence here.
Thinking that the mans lapse Of
memory was due to some sudden
shock or to illness, the chief had him
quartered at the county hospital,
where the case ever since has batHed
the physicians. The man, who is Of
middle age and fine physique, seemed
in normal health, but still his memory
on the all.important subject was a
blank and his effects offered no clew.

The wau.Is of summer acts as q
gentle reminder 10 the home gardener
that, in order TO have a crop OF celery
for winter use, it is desirable to get
the plants into the ground before the
season is too Tar advanced
Celery culture, to be successful,
must rely upon deep soil the deeper
tae better for thereby the roots are
not dried out, as is the case when the
tiny rootets come close to the sur
face in mad search for moisture.
Celery plants require that the roots
be cool, with plenty OF water, but not
stagnaut water 1t is considered ad-
visable therefore, before planting, to
prepare the ground thoroughly and
deeply
Having the ground in good, work
able condition, the next step is plant
ing out The easiest way to do this is
to make a siX,inch deep furow, filled
in with three inches Of fine, well-rot-
ted manure Of rich compost The fur
TOW Is lUtu llltu III htdl ~ ANNNA WAN
the surface with good soil mixed with
manure. Dwarf, self-blanching celery
may be selected for the home garden,
and this should be planted in rows
two and half feet apart and not
closer than six inches in the row The
tall sorts take up a good deal of room
in the garden
The best day for planting celery is
a dull one, when the sun will not
have a chance to burn the roots Of
the young plants. 1t might be well to
soak these before removing from the
seeded or box, so that the roots will
more quickly mingle with the soil in
the new home Another good plan is
to trim off the tops-say one-third--
and dip the roots in water, As a re-
suit OF this the plants will soon send
out strong, healthy roots before
throwing energy into the tops.

not amount to divorce, but the plain.
