Curing Bacon

In paper read before the Farmers
Congress at Hillsboro, Ore. William
Schulmerich described his method of
curing bacon. He said: First, have
the meat thoroughly cooled all through.
Split the hog through the center of the
backbone. The half is laid on the ia
BILE and the leaf lard taken out. No
AK or cleaver should be used after
splitting the hog in halves. Have a
butchers steel to keep the knives sharp
and a good, sharp meat saw to cut the,
bones. Cut off the ham by saving
through the backbone inches from
the end of the pelvic bone. Then take
the knife and cut straight across the
side.
Cut the flank off the ham; round
off the tip, or backbone, of the ham;
saw off the leg close above the back.
Next cut out the ribs and backbone;
then cut off the side as close to the
shoulder blade as possible. Cut off a
strip of fat on top and bottom of side.
Round off the top of shoulder close 10
the shoulder blade. Cut off strips of
clean meat on inside of shoulder. Take
out jawbone of jowl and make bacon
of same. Make frying sausage of all
lean meat trimmings; make head
cheese or liver sausage Of upper head"
Mr.. Schulmerich said his method OF
curing meats in sides is to pile up In
dry salt for twenty-One days. Hams
and shoulders are placed on standing
boards in dry salt for one week, then
taken up, thoroughly washed in warm
water, and again placed in barrels or
tanks for two weeks, covered with
brine. The meat is then taken up and
washed I'm hot water and hung in the
smokehouse and smoked continually
for two or three days. Stop smoking
when meat is a nice brown color. If
the meat is to be kept over summer.
place it in large paper bags, such as
are used by hardware dealers. Tie or
seal them in these bags and put them
in gunny sacks in dry, well-ventilated
place. hanging them up, of course. A
cellar is not the proper place for this,
for the meat will mold. The paper
bags are to keep out the flies and bacon
moths, which are quite troublesome.

An E.cape from the City.

Why will people persist in shaving
their lives away in dirty city, while
thousands of acres of rich agricultur-
al land are going begging, asks Robert
Franklin in the Technical World Mag
azine, in his article "Homesteads for
the Asking" Uncle Sam is trying
hard, literally, to give away some of
the finest farming land in the United
States. but the people refuse to see the
opportunity. Quite the most peculiar
state of affairs that has been known
in this country for some decades, ex-
lists at the present time in north-cen-
trail Nevada, where. with a large and
inviting territory newly made availa-
bic for homesteads, there Is a dearth
OF settlers. Ordinarily when good
lands are offered by the government
free Of charge, there is a rush for the
scene, every possible patch being eager
ly pre-empted but in this instance,
strangely enough, about million acres
of the finest soil in the world, with
plentiful water supply furnished by ir-
rigation, are going begging. And then
he tells of SOO,OOO,OOO acres of govern
ment land which can be had free for
the asking by those who wish to settle
on the land, own their own homes and
property, and live healthy life in the
country. But alas, the entreaties of
the government are in vain, and the
working people of the cities have their
noses so close to the milestone that
they cannot break away from the daily
grind.

Water for Rnnge CnftIe.

Following is n circular from the For
est Service Of the Department of Ag-
ricuiture:
In its Investigations for the improve
ment of grazing lands within the ma
tional forests carried on during the
past year, the Forest Service has found
that the xlnges on some of the forests
cannot be fully utilized by stock be-
cause Of lack of proper water sup
ply. Plans have been made for bet
tering these conditions as rapidly as
possible.
Work TO improve the water supply on
the national forest ranges will be start
ed this year on the Leadville National
Forest i'm Colorado and the Tumaca-
corr National Forest in Arizona, and
before the coming Of another grazing
season a number of ranges will be i'm
proved very materially.
On the Leadville forest, the forest of
fcers will clean out and protect twelve
different springs and pipe the water
into troughs. The work on the Tuna
cac0ri forest in Arizona will be some
what more extensive. although it will
be confined to the Improvement of the
supply of only half as many springs as
on the Colorado forest. This method
of cleaning out and protecting springs
and other watering places will result In
much benefit to stockmen grazing on
the strips of ranges within the forests.
Improvement work alons the same gen
eral lines will also be begun on other
national forests.

course American husbands can do
many things without being regarded as
henpecked that would at once stamp
the continental husband as a wifes
slave were he to do the same things.
So, although it is common thing for
the American husband to permit his
wife to select his clothes for him, in
Europe the practice is so uncommon
that the man who is content TO permit
his wife to satisfy her whims in his
dress is at once marked as hen
pecked man.
King Alfonso not only wears the hats
and caps and military helmets that his
wife likes best. but he even permits her
TO select his neckties and his clothes,
and seldom wears the garments which
do not meet with her entire approval.
Not long ago the King discarded
huge felt SLOUGH hat of which he was
particularly fond simply because his
wife requested him not to wear 1t. OF
course, she was diplomatic enough to
explain sweetly that his other hats
we're 80 much more becoming" The
Queen likes Alfonso best in the dress
o. British general, out Of course he
can only wear this costume on certain
occasions, but the King never loses an
opportunity to pay both the Queen and
her native land q delicate compliment
by donnlng the costume which Is so
becoming to him.

RECEIVERS from the effect of the realiza-
ton that it is possible for King to

cially a King who has such a formid-
able full name as Alfonso Leon Ferdi-

Spain. of CASTLE, OF Leon, Aragon, the
Two Slcilies, Jerusalem, Navarro, Ora
NADIA Toledo, Valencia, Gallcia, Ma

many other styles. Not only does 1t

things Just because she desires it," but
II seems still more difficult to believe
that this particular King. who always
was headstrong lad. should have per-
mitted Master Cupid to make him as
meek as n lamb.
1t was not long ago that Europe was
wondering whatever would become OF
the throne of Spain because of the
feeling that no young princess In all
the empires would have the temerity to
marry such headstrong young lad as
the King was supposed to be. The
feeling for the future Queen was akin
TO pity. for the reason that If the King
bore reputation for any one thing
more than another 1t was of being al
most unbearably self-willed. Now in
stead of being the same self-willed,
headstrong boy that he was he Is a
kind hearted, devoted, thoughtful and

SPANS HEADSTRoNG KING.
Converted Into a Devoted and Most
Attentive Husband.

Attentive Husband.
High society in Europe says that the
buxom Queen of Spain has tanned her
naughty spouse to a standstill. 1t is
whispered that the self-willed Bourbon,
who at an early age showed his met
tie by declaring to his protesting gov
erness that, being King, he would
feed himself with his knife on any or
all occasions if he so desired and no
one could stop him, submits most
sweetly to the dictates of his English
wife and that the hitherto uncon. roll
able but goCd-hearted little monarch
stands around" to use an American
ism, when Ena is in his vicinity.
1t is even related that the Queen will
not permit Alfonso to enjoy his custom
Of sleeping late in the morning and
actually has broken him of the habit.
Whether she contrived to break the
youthful King Of this custom by the
dlllgent use OF the alarm clock or by
sprinkling cold water on his face at
sunrise Is not part of the story. But
the fact remains that Alfonso makes
1t practice to arise much earlier now
than he did before his marriage, and of
course everybody says that this change
Of habit is due to the Queen and her
compelling looks of disapproval.
The King wears the hats that the
Queen tells him to wear. just as so
MANY American husbands do. OF

LYDIA E. PINKHAM

Nature and a woman's work COM
bined have produced the grandeSt
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has ever known.
In the good fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
cure disease and mitigate suffering.
The Indians ON our Western
Ilains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment, and cure
diseases that battle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years ID
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia Z. PinkhSm more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their Pc
culiar ills, more potent and effica-
cious thanany combination ofdrugs.
Lydia L. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mrs. Bertha Muff, of SIS NC. ST.,
louisiana, Mo-, writes:
complete restoration tc health
means so much to me that for the sake
of other suffering women am willing
to make my troubles public.
''For twelve years / had been suffer-
ing with the worst forms of female ills.
During that time had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue
can tell what suffered, and at times
could hardly walk. About two years
ago L wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
/ followed it, and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Pinkham's advice re-
stored health and strength. 1t is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women"

table Compound did for Mrs. Muff,

The Potato Bug.

The original potato bug lived some
where in the highlands of Central
America. From him descended the
great grandfather of the insect in ques
tiOn-the striped black-and-white crea-
ture which still inhabits the coast of
the Caribbean sea. This insect never
saw a potato plant; it lived on the
wild sand-bur. This plant is distantly
related to our cultivated potato; but
until comparatively lately (as such
terms are understood in discussions of
