G0IDFIELD. oct, l3.--The output of
Tho mines and leases 81 tho Coidneld
district for tho week ending Thursday
night. WINS 1857 tons, being an estimate.
This IL about 100 tons more than the
output for the preceding week, and
would have been much more but for the
fact that the railroad strike was not
settled until Monday night, 30 that the
figures do not represent an entire weeks
output. except for few properties
The Combination mill was shut down
for one day. but the amount Of ore
treated during the six days was larger
than usual averaging 90 tons day,
which Is about the full capacity OF the
plant. The average value OF the ore
was also higher, running 500 ton. The
shipments from the Mohawk were eur.
tailed because of the strike, the output
for the week being but 800 tons, which
Ii about half the usual production. The
Mohawk Combination lease was closer
for several days, and the Nevada Gold
field Reduction Works were handicap

fall and spring seeding of alfalfa, and
says that the principal objection to
spring sowing is that weeds come up
and choke out the young plants be-
fore they can get good start. The
fall seeded alfalfa on dry land was
able to withstand the severe winter
climate perfectly-in fact, better than
the common red clover Under aver
age good conditions from twenty to
thirty pounds of seed should be sown
to the acre. Manure gave better re-
suits on Pennsylvania soil than did
commercial fertilizer. Lime did not
give satisfactory results. In some in
stances it gave no appreciable results,
and in others it was decidedly harm
full, but in no case was 1t applied to

Oat Straw for Feed

To the stockman the use OF oat
straw for food cannot be so highly
commended and yet 1t can serve a
good purpose especially when hay is
high in price. Oat straw is better
for feeding than wheat straw. 1t con-
tains three times as much protein
and twice as much fat and fully as
much of digestible carbohydrates as
does wheat straw. In the feeding. OF
straw, give your stock more grain
than otherwise to make up for quality
of stray. This feed will carry stock
through In winter and even horses will
do a reasonable amount OF hard work
on an oat straw ration. II you have
dairy cows to feed, you can feed silage,
cut feed, or chaff mixed with it and
your COWS will be likely to come out
In the spring in very thrifty condi-
tion.

Brine Curing is Best

Brine cured meats are best for farm
use, for the reason that suitable
place for dry curing is not usually
obtainable. 1t is also less trouble to
pack the meat in barrel and pour on
brine than to go over it three or
four times to rub in the salt. The
brining method also gives better pro-
lection from insects and vermin.
Trouble is sometimes experienced in
keeping brine. but il pure water is
used and directions followed In max
Ing the brine there should be no diff
Guilty in keeping ii for reasonable
length of time. A cool, moist cellar
Is the best place for brine curing. Dry
curing may be done successfully In
cellar also. even though more mois-
ture Ii needed 10 effect a thorough
cure. rhe cellar should be dark and
tight enough 10 prevent flles and yer.
min from damaging the meat.
The independent., 1907-01-10

When the meat is cooled, rub each
piece with salt and allow it to drain
over night. Then pack it in barrel
with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the strips of bacon to
fill in between or to put on top. Weigh
out for each 100 pounds of meat 8
pounds of salt, 2 pounds OF brown
sugar and ounces of saltpeter. Dis
solve all in four gallons of water, and
cover the meat with the brine. For
winter curing it is not necessary to
boil the brine. Bacon strips should
remain in this brine from four to
six weeks. This is a standard recipe
and has given the best of satisfaction.
The independent., 1907-01-10
Dry Curing Of Pork

For each 100 pounds of meat, weigh
out pounds Of salt, 2 pounds of
granuIated sugar, and 2 ounces OF
saltpeter, and mix them thoroughly.
Rub the meat once every three days
whit a third of the mixture. While
the meat is curing it is best to have
it packed in a barrel or tight box.
For the sake of convenience it Is adj
visable to have two barrels, 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 is desirable
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 a warm and dry place, as the
preservatives will not penetrate easily
and uniformly.
