pensivc. Pork may be salted with or
without brine, both methods being
about equally popular and satisfac-
tory. IL brine is used there will be
10 danger from insects or mice during
the picking process. The brine cx-
tracts the blood and other juices from
the meat and is apt to spoil and
contaminate the whole case of pork
unless given attention. The way to
prevent this trouble is to give the brine
an occasional boiling, skimming off
the impurities as they rise to the sur
face. In this way the brine may
be Kept pure without impairing it's
strength. for any length of time. In
making brine, add salt to the water
until II is sufficiently strong to float
an egg or potato. 1t should be stirred
violently while the salt Is being added.
What Is known as dry sailing is
perhaps little easier. requiring less
work. This method is to salt the
pork In barrels or boxes without the
addition OF water or brine AS this
way does not exclude flies or maggots
from the meat, care should be taken to
cover the barrels with something that
will keep them out. When flies have
access TO pork they deposit their eggs
on the meat. These turn TO maggots
or shippers and soon the meat Is unfit
for use. Pork should be allowed to
stay In the brine or dry sailing casks
for six weeks and should receive more
salt, IL necessary, during this period,

Pref orashsar Announces Discover,
Which Portends Storms.

Pittsburg, Pa.--Professor John A.
Brashear of the Allegheny observatory
has announced discovery of one OF
the greatest sun spots ever called to
the attention Of astronomers. He says
electrical disturbances will be expert
enced throughout the country soon
These disturbances, he further de
clares, may take the form of dis
play of the aurora borealis or tele
graph and Telephone communication
may be seriously affected.
The present spot is SO large that II
can be seen through smoked glass and
the scientist says it is one of the most
active of solar spots. In his statement
Of the discovery Professor Drashear
says: 4C srIa3r. sa,

600 square miles. There is considera
BILE activity in the spot and there may
be some electrical disturbances on the
earth soon, but this is rather difficult;
to predict on account of tho position
of tho disturbance in relation to the
earth.
Besides this great group of spots
there ere three other groups to the
west of 1t, and fourth is just leaving
the sun on the eastern side. This
great spot can be readily seen by the
naked eye with piece of smoked
glass. Indeed, my attention was call
ed to 1t by gentleman who saw IL
through the morning fog. We have
been observing the spot with great
interest, measuring 1t and estimating
its size. 1t Is a great spot, stretching
an eighth Of the way across the sun
It comes at time when 1t is no,
usual to expect sun spots and is OF
greater interest for that reason. Why
