A Twlce-TOld TaIe.

A Massachusetts lawyer has a notori-
ously treacherous memory for details.
This failing occasionally leads him to
garble joke in repeating it. Recent
ly he met friend, who, clapping him
upon the shoulder, said enthusiastical-
ly:
well, old man, this is a fine day for
the race, isn't it?"
"Why, what racer"
"The human race" said the friend
and fed.
This was the first time the lawyer
had ever heard this very ancient joke,
so he determined to get it off on the
next man he met-and he did, in this
manner:
Hello, Godfrey, isn't this fine day
for the trot?"
"Trot-what trot?"
by gad," stammered the lawyer,
II swear there was a joke there, but l
can't find it now v'-Lippincotts.

You Try His Place.

We presume that some people
think newspaper men are per-
sistent dunners. Let a farmer
place himself in similar posi-
ton and see if he would not do
the same. Suppose that he raises
thousand bushels OF corn, and
his neighbor should come and
buy. and the price was one dol.

the amount in a few days " As
the farmer does not want to be
small about the matter, he says
"Al1 right" Another comes the
same way, and another, until
the whole thousand bushels Of
corn is trusted to thousand
different people and no one Of
the different persons concerns
himself about it, for it is a small
amount they owe the farmer,
and of course that will not
help him any. He does not
realize that the farmer has
fritterod away his entire crop
of corn, that its value is
due in a thousand little dribbles.
and that he is seriously embar
rassed in his business, because
his debtors treat it as a little
matter. But if all would pay him
promptly, which they could as
well as not, it would be large
sum to the farmer and enable
him to carry on his business
without difficulty. Selected.

From the twenty acres of al

Progressive Farmer.

Recently several farmers have
been complaining about the scar.
city of labor. Hands cannot be
hired by the day or by the hun.
dred pounds to pick cotton. 1t is
not difficult to account for this
condition. The railways are Civ
ing employment to thousands of
hanos and paying more than far
mers can afford to pay. The
construction of dams on Broad
and Catawba Rivers have drawn
hundreds of farm hands. When
the men leave, the women and
children move to the towns.
Farmers cannot pay 81 to $1.25
a day for hands to make corn
and cotton. This is a condition
that confTonts farmers today.
How are they to adapt them
selves to it?
There are several kinds of
farmers. First we have the small
farmers, who work their little
farms with members of the fam
lily. The labor question does
not trouble them. Then there
are men who purchase tracts of
land here and there for invest
ments. They pay little atten
ton to it and generally rent for
certain amount of cotton. They
do not care about labor, so they
get the cotton in the fall. But
half the farmers, or more, have
to depend on tenants or hired
labor to cultivate their lands
They should build good comfort
able houses and employ tenants
for a mum ber of years. No far
mer can prosper changing hands
every year. Tenants never ac-
cumulate anything when they
are changing homes every fall.
Let the farmer purchase turn
plows, harrows, mowers and all
expensive implements and give
the tenants free use Of them and
make them use them AS gen
eral thing, tenants do not wish
to work more than nine months
in the year, If farmer can
use four to eight mules on his
farm he will find this plan a good
one.
Let the tenants raise the cot.
ton. Then let the farmer hire
two hands the year round to
make corn, sorghum, small grain
and pea vine hay, enough to
feed all the stock. By sowing
down much of the land he can
always let the cotton raising to.
nants have the best land. In
that way the land may be kept
up and the yield increased. If
tenants are employed early in
the fall, such a farmer will not
complain of a scarcity of labor.
Since farmers cannot pay
hands $3.50 to $500 year to
make 5000 worth of corn and
cotton, they must look to some

RECIPE
One gallon of water,
II pounds of salt,
] pound sugar,
t ounce saltpeter,
! ounce potash.

Omit the potash unless you can
get the pure article. Druggists
usually keep it. l use a little
soda thrown in when boiling,
which causes all impurities to
rise to the top of the liquor which
should be carefully skinned off.
In the above ratio the pickle
can be increased to the desired
quantity. Boil these together
until the impurities rise to the
top and are skinned off. Then
pour into vessels to cool, and
when thoroughly cool pour it
over your pork. The meat should
be entirely covered with the
pickle aud should not be put
down for at least two days after
being killed, during which time
it should be slightly sprinkled
with saltpeter, which removes all
the surface blood, leaving the
meat fresh and clean.
If this receipt is strictly fol-
lowed, it will require but a sin.
gle trial to prove its superiority
over the common way of keeping
meat, and will not soon be aban.
doned for any other. The meat
is unsurpassed for sweetness,
delicacy, and freshness of color.
If the meat is kept long, the
pickle should be skinned and
reboiled and replaced after cool
ing.
Always remember that a tight.
sweet vessel is necessary to be-
gin with, aud as soon as the
meat is all out of the pickle, the
vessel should be thoroughly
cleansed and put away for next
using.
