Dry Cured Pork,

For each hundred pounds of meat
weigh out five pounds of salt, two
pounds Of granulated sugar and two
ounces of saltpeter and mix them thor
oughly. Rub the meat once every three
days with a third of the mixture.
While the meat is curing in this man
ner it is best to have it packed in a
barrel or tight box. For the sake of
convenience it is advisable 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 warm and dry place, as the
preservatives will not penetrate easily

Just as in other matters in breeding,
not all the conditions affecting it are
known, but it is as certainly trans
mitted from parent to offspring as any
other trait So that it is important
that the progeny of only such animals
as have good constitutions be retained
in the fiocks, and not all Of them, for
there is variation in this particular as
in all others, and parents of strong
constitutions sometimes have weak Off
spring The evidences of good consti-
tuition should be required in the indi-
viduals themselves as well as in the
ancestry of those that are to be re-
tained as breeders.
However good the constitution of a
sheep may be, it cannot retain its vigor
unless it be we'll fed. A hungry flock
will not long be a healthy flock, nor
will it retain its health and vigor if
1t be exposed to climatic conditions
that are much more severe than those
to which the breed has been accus-
toned. The breed must be adapted
to its environment if the flock is to be
vigorous. Probably the most common
mistake is the attempt to keep high
grade or pure bred sheep under the
conditions of feed and shelter that are
adapted only to low grades or scrubs.
Having the right breed for the en-
vironment or else making the environ
ment suit the chosen breed, having in
dividuals of good constitution to start
with and subjecting to rigorous in
spection all additions to the flock, there
Is yet one important point in maintain
ing the vigor Of the flock. That is
culling. Some sheep have at times all
the outward marks of good constitu-
tion that do not really have it. Such
may be allowed to enter the flock, and
they will soon begin to show signs Of
their weakness. Every sheep will
break down from old age and lose
vigor and become Improbable or sue
rumb to disease at some time. The
period of usefulness varies much with
the breed and varies much with indi-
viduals of the same breed. Some be-
come Improbable at three or four
years Of age, Others at ten or twelve or
even older. The shepherd should have
his flock under his constant observa-
ton, and whenever q sheep begins to
show signs of weakness, evidence Of
should be removed from the flock.

THE SHEPHERD.

There is quality of water as we'll as

If the ewes have nothing but corn,
they will lack milk and be feverish.
Don't call this "bad luck''
When lambs are two weeks old they
will begin to eat bran and linseed meal
Give it to them and see how they will
grow.
Don't expect feeders to realize fat
lamb prices or, in other words, don't
market half fat lambs.
1t does not cost as much to raise
pure bred sheep as scrub sheep, judg-
ing by the way our books balance, says
the American Sheep Breeder
The feeding racks should be cleaned
after every feeding, as the sheep never
relish fodder that has been breathed
on. Always have a good clean supply
of water.
Do not confne sheep during hot days
where they cannot get shade and Sc
clusion from the flies. A darkened
stable or outbuilding is enjoyed by
them.
Keep the lambs growing. A stunted
lamb never makes a good sheep.
Keep the drinking vessels absolutely
clean, and give fresh water often.
Hay should not be carried over the
backs of sheep when it can be avoided,
as it causes the fleece to become full
of seed and dirt.
The sheep bell may not scare the
dogs. but they may warn you of their
presence.
A poor sheep produces harsh, weak
wool, lacking luster. The well condi-
toned sheep produces an oil for the
fleece that is essential to good fiber,
soft texture of the wool and bright,
attractive look. Any check in the
growth of the sheep can be detected
in the fleece. The wool produced at
this time is of poorer quality. The
fleece of poor sheep can be picked
from a collection.-Farm Journal.

LIVE STOCK REMEDIES.
How to Treat Various Ills Without
Calling the Veterinary.

Calling the Veterinary.
For scours in calves, try a raw egg
stirred up in little milk and table
spoonful of -four added. One farmer
recommends saleratus in the milk, a
teaspoonful at each feed till cured.
For lice on calves, use grease and
sulphur or spray with kerosene. Do moi
put on too much or it will take the hair
off,
If your horse breathes hard and has
a cough look out for heaves. To pre-
vent them, do as you would if he had
them. Give but little hay and give
water carefully; allow little time
after feeding and watering before put
ting to work. Give five grain doses OF
arsenic once day for two weeks. I'm.
prove the condition of the horse as
much as possible and relief will follow.
Often when horses are poor in flesh
and not doing well the trouble is
worms. If such is the case, give a
tonic-Powdered sulphate Of iron and
gentian root in equal parts. Give six
drains twice. week till his condition
improves. -
Mango in horses is caused by an in.
sect which burrows into the skin. To
cure it, this insect must be secured out
with sand and affected parts washed
with soap and warm water, using a
brush and drying carefully. After this
apply an ointment of sulphur and lard
or sulphur and water.
For sore or wound on a horse or
man know of nothing better than a
solution of carbolic acid. In warm
weather it acts as a repeller Of flies
also.
Foul in the foot in cattle is caused
by standing in mud and may become
serious. To cure, cleanse the space
between the toes by drawing a small
rope through, then apply sulphate of
zinc, one dram in half a pint Of wa
ter.
For caked udder in cows try this:
Remove one of your horses from his
stall, throw quantity of horse manure
in the stall and tie the cow in there
overnight. An old farmer told me of
this. AS I have never tried it I can
not say as to it's value, but it surely
can do no harm, and this cannot al

The Value of Mules.

Few farmers realize the real value
Of mules.
They will do as much work as horses
on less food. They will live longer,
and they can be kept sound more
easily.
A mule will never eat or drink when
he is heated nor run a way in blind
panic, like horse.
If a mule is properly trained when
a youngster, he will not kick, and he
will always respond to kindness and
good, common sense treatment.
Why not raise mules on the farm?
A good pair of mules when three
years old will bring from $400 to $500.

Cheapest Feeds In the Corn Belt.

1t is we'll known fact that the
cheapest feeds in the corn belt are
those suited to the growing needs OF
the animal. Corn will never produce
bone when fed in itself for the simple
reason that it does not contain a very
large per cent e. mineral matter, says
a writer in Io7 d Homestead. Some of
the other grains are much better fitted
in this respect for bone making, and
great many farmers are feeding LIBERAL
ly Of oats, wheat, rye and barley. Here
and there we find some man who is a
firm believer in keeping a good supply
of coal, ashes, slack, charcoal and any
other kind of material which contains
a large portion of mineral matter on
hand for hogs.

How to Produce Good Animals.


Good animals are produced by good
feed, good care and plenty of it. The
farm where good stock is kept must
be kept well. 1t will not do to abuse
the farm by eating out the pastures
and impoverishing the land. Good,
well kept farms and good stock very
naturally go together. In the produc-
ton of good stock good feed condition
must first be provided. This means
good farming, and good farming is
the basis of every successful farm in
dustry or enterprise. The feed supply
must not only provide for the grazing
season, but all seasons. The winter
season or prepared feed season is the
most critical period in the growth of
the animal, because the natural con-
ditions of vegetation must be supplied
as far as practicable by the storage
and preservation of succulent feeds for
the winter use. - Twentieth Century
Farmer.

Produce the Best.

Once started in the right direction a
farmer can produce Il good grade of
cattle almost as cheaply as he can
grow scrubs. Good pure bred bulls of
all the leading beef breeds can be pur-
chased at reasonable prices, and there
is not the slightest excuse for the keep
Ing of scrub bull at the head of any
herd. With first class cattle as much
profit can be made with smaller In
vestment for land, cattle, feed and la
Dor than can be produced with larger
outlay in feeding inferior stock. In
every department of agriculture II
pays to produce the best, and this IL
especially true with respect to hvD

The Tomato Crop.

The tomato is not specially exhaust
ing crop. Tomatoes do not remove as
much plant food from soils as most
farm crops at the usual rates OF prod
uct per acre, states T. II. White.
The refuse of the crop from an acre
of tomatoes contains more fertilizing
material than similar remains of most
other crops.
The vines and roots of tomatoes are
very rich in potash.
The residue of the tomato crop should
be evenly spread and plowed under.
As regards economy of soil fertility
the tomato crop is a desirable one to

LIMA BEANS.

In California Vines Are Not PoIed-A
Solid Field.
The wedding and cultivation of lima
beans in California are at first done
with machinery called bean knives,
and when the vines have advanced too
far for this method hoeing by hand is
resorted to. The bean is not poled, and
in about six weeks the plant has reach
ed dimensions which in many instances
cover up the line mark Of the rows and
forms a solid field of the most beauti-
full green, dotted with tiny white flow-
ers. Where there are young walnut
orchards present the bean is planted In
between the rows of the young trees to
utilize the same soil.
One remarkable fact is that the lima
bean does not seem to deprive the soil

Selection of Layina Fowls.

Many rely on selecting their best
laying fowls by merely studying the
form, or, in other words, they believe
that there is a characteristic egg type.
Trap nest records seem to indicate
that this rule is variable to some ex-
tent, at least One should be able to

grown repeatedly on the same land.
Some fields here have carried the crop
for thirty years, says writer in Or

needed. The plant depends largely up
on the moisture of the warm soft fogs
prevalent here on the long, narrow
strip of coast land between the Santa
Ynez mountains and the Pacific.

PROMINENT CITIZEN
And Decided to Call Mass M
Monday, When Definite Steps v
Be Taken Toward the Location of
the Big Episcopal School Here.

Hattiesburg has splendid opportu-
nifty to secure the location at this
place of the college for young ladies'
to be established at some point in the
state by the Episcopal Church.
The matter has been under consider
alton by the denomination for several
years, and propositions are being con-
sidered from Jackson, Meridian, Can
ton, Vicksburg and other points in the
state and it is now up to Hattiesburg
to go after the school in earnest and
secure it.
Heretofore it has been generally un-
derstood that it is practically useless
for any other city than Jackson to
apply, for the reason that it was stat
ed that Bishop Bratton favored that
point because of the fact that jackson
is his place of residence This view
was dispelled yesterday evening by
Mr.. NJ. j. Epley, of this city, who had
conversation over the phone with
Bishop Bratton. who stated to Mr.. Ep-
ley that he was committed to no par
ticular location; that the city that
made the most acceptable proposition
would secure the school Following
this conversation, Mr.. Epley took iil u,,
the matter with several local publ
spirited citizens, and it was the i
imous view of all with whom the MAJ
ter was discussed that Hattiesburl
must have thetschool. Bishop Brat
stated that at least twenty -

hazards. The hour and place of the
meeting have not yet been fixed, but
will be announced later.
Hattiesburg must secure this school
and the Daily News will be glad to
lend every possible aid to securing it.
AS is generally known, while the
school will be under the direction of
the Episcopal Church, it will in no
sense be sectarian school, and will
be open to girls of all denominations.
1t is worth striving for, and the Daily
News trusts that the meeting will be
largely attended and that the matter
will be put on such footing that it
will be located here without question.
