Standard for Curing Hams.

In response to the inquiry of CORE
spondent the following directions are
given concerning the curing of hams:
First of all, the meat must be thor
oughly chilled. A perfectly safe pickle
is made as follows: Twenty-one
pounds of common salt, six pounds
brown (cane) sugar and one pound
graduated saltpeter to 800 pounds ham.
in regulation fierce, filed with water
and we'll rolled. Or make n pickle of
- degrees of Salometer and add sugar
and saltpeter. In every case tierces
should be rolled a couple of times dur
ing the first two weeks of curing. A
good temperature to cure in is SO to SO
degrees Fahrenheit. Some curers
pump full-strength pickle to the joints
before packing, which no doubt hastens
the cure somewhat and lessons the risk
of "Souring."
Meats under the above formula are
cured i'll the following time, according
to averages: Twelve pounds and I'M
der, 49, days per pound; 16 pounds
and under, 4 days per pound over 16
pounds. ~ days per pound.
A very clean, uniform and expedi-
tious way to pack hams is as follows:
Have measures made to hold exactly
level full the quantities of salt. sugar
and saltpeter given. Dump into salt
box (rubbing box, rub each ham as
packed into fierce and whatever is left
IN the box throw on top of packed
meats Head up the tierce. roll aside
and fill with water from hose attached
to elevated water tanks. Doubtless
most cures have this already systema-
tiZed. but those points are worth re-
pea ting-The National PrOviSiOner.

Winter killing OF Fruit Trees

We have all had some experience in
winter killing of fruit. but perhaps
many of us are none the wiser for the
experience except in noting the great
difference of opinion which prevails
regarding the causes of this trouble.
To prevent the young wood from being
killed back it must be made to ripen
properly in the fall. This may be ac-
complished by giving attention to the
drainage of the soil so that it will dry
out in the fall and check the growth
of the trees. Naturally the destruc-
ton of the roots is Il much more Sc
rious matter. The death of fruit tree
roots is almost always due TO improper
soil conditions. Trees in sod are rarely
killed in winter. Likewise a straw or
grass mulch about the roots gives
them ample protection. Again, the
roots are comparatively safe from
harm if the soil contains humus such
as would be obtained from thorough
mulching. Small trees may be we'll
protected by throwing few shovelfuls
of soil or manure about the base
Drainage is also important in preserv-
ing the roots from damage. 1t should
always be remembered that trees which
are allowed to remain infested with
fungus diseases or insect pests are faS
more likely to die in winter than are
healthy trees. Attention to the general
health of the trees and to proper soil
conditions furnish the best possible
means of warding off the danger of
winter killing. The methods suggested
are not difficult to apply. and are such
as should prevail on every well-regu-
lated fruit farm.-Indianapolls News

HUNDREDS DIE IN WRECK.
People of the United States Face
Peril of Railway Disasters.

The people of the United States have
a new peril to try their nerves and
wrench their hearts. 1t is peril of the
new twentieth century-the peril of rail
road travel.
Approximately 800 passengers have
been killed in the last few months i'll the
most appalling series of railroad acct
dents the country. it is charged has ever
known, brought about by the desperate
Efforts of the railroad companies to make
more money. 1t has not been a question
of signals and switches and regulations :
it has been question of hurrying trains
through-the flyer, the fast freight-of
getting from one end of the line to the
other, so that they can be started back
again. Railroad employees have admitted
on the stand that they disregarded signals
that they had to- to make schedules.
Twenty years ago persons Travelled on
railroad trains with comparative safety.
There were some accidents. but few men
dreaded a trip by rail. Even ten years
ago the peril was not great. In 1897 only
222 passengers were killed. But look at
the last four months \ total of 500
human beings, passengers on trains in
tne OHlleu StdteS' Wtie .oiH anu HidH-
gled. scalded and burned to death in
railroad wrecks-225 per cent more
deaths in four months than in the whole
of 1897.
The slaughter of the toll of 1907 began
with terrible mortality. The railroads
are overworked. overcrowded and over
capitalized. Earnings that should be de-
voted to improving and replenishing the
equipment and paying for better class of
labor are diverted to dividends to keep
up the value of watered stock.
The accompanying table gives the worst
of the recent railroad disasters. There
were many more the country over where
the casualties were one, two, or three.

Hill, the railroad magnate, says that
In twenty years we will have 100000
900 people and asks where they are to
be employed and how are they to be
fed. In a century the coal supply will
be practically exhausted. In the face
of these facts, if they be such, and
there is no reason to dispute them,
every farm properly cared for should
be worth more money for each year of
the period. There will be a growing
dependence on the fruits of the soil.

BRYAN OPPOSES
TEDDYS NEW PLAN

Fon du Lac, Wis, Nov. 20-Wm.
Jennings Bryan, in an exclusive inter
view with the correspondent Of the
Times Democrat, declared ia the most
positive language against the nation
al administration plan for an elastic
currency outlined in statements by
President Roosevelt and Controller
Ridgeley.
/ showed Mr.. Bryan this important
article, in which President Roosevelt
was quoted on the money situation
and the necessity OF more elastic
currency and in which Controller
Ridgely stated that the best solution
OF the tight money problem was law
giving national banks the power to
issue currency on certain assets other
than government bonds, which now
form the security for bank note Isl
sues.
Mr.. Bryan denounced this plan as
inadequate and dangerous, and said
that its effect would be to aid the
scheming eastern banks. He asserted
moreover that asset currency is not a
new idea. 1t has for years been a
dream OF the national banks Of New
York ana other eastern cities.
81 believe that the Democratic par
ty is united in opposition to such a
plan, declared Mr.. Bryan with vehe-
mence. "If elasticity is needed, il
ought to be supplied by the govern
ment, but by no change in banking
currency.
II do not believe that the eastern
bands should be allowed to force the
country TO accede to their demands
for asset banking. Such currency
would enlarge liabilities at the very
time when bank depositors are afraid
that liabilities are already too great.
"Itis like pouring oil on fire. What
we need is legislation which will
remove the public fear. This plan
would aggravate it.
Controlled as they are by Wall
Street it would be criminal folly to
allow the New York banks to obtain
irmer grip on our financial system.
"An elastic currency should be in
the hands Of the government instead
OF speculators, who, by intiaming the
public mind over conditions, would
control prices and hold the people at
their mercy.
"As see, also, the country bank
under the reputed plan of the admin
istration, would be as badly Off as
ever"
