richer from year to year; and
the farms from which [all the
crops are sold on the market or
to feeders are slowly losing their
available fertility"
That is just as true in theCar-
olinas or the Gulf States as in
the Northwest; but we seem
often to forget it. Why, do you
know that if you could save il all,
every ton of corn silage you feed
makes you, at a very low esti
mate, 43 conts worth of manure;
every ton OF corn stover, ST.. .O3;
every ton of clover hay, 81 SO
worth every ton Of ground corn,
1924 worth every ton of whe at
bran, $4.74 worth !; every ton Of
cottonseed meal, 1886 worth :?
1t is actually worth this much
10 you, right on your own tarm,
aud for your own crops.
There will necessarily be some
loss of the liquid manure when
stock are kept in yards or stables;
but with good floors, plenty of
bedding and a shelter for that
which cannot be hauled to the
fields at once, this loss may be
made very small. And for the
sake of your fields it should be
made just as small as possible.

Some Simple Directions for
Curing Bacon.
The Progressive Farmer.

Inc progressive Il armer.
it is best not to have a cast
iron rule about doing anything;
but one should modify his method
to suit circumstances. Espec
tally Is this true in the matter
Of curing meat in our latitude.
The two main objects to be OBJ
tanned are to get the animal
heat out before it is packed down
and to put plenty of salt on the
meat. A good frosty morning
with a slight "skim of ice" is the
best weather for hog killing.
So far as the meat is concern
ed, it is best to let the hog hang
up until it is cold /; but for the
sake of those who are waiting for
the lard and sausage meat we
usually cut the hog up after he
has been allowed to drip for two
or three hours. In fact, where
a good many are killed at one
time we begin TO cut up the first
killed as soon as we are through
hanging up the last. Some cotton
sheets are spread down on dirt
the floor of the smoke house and
each piece is sprinkled with
little salt and placed on this
sheet, not in touch with any other,
and left over night to cool. Early
next morning salt down in as
compact pile as possible, hams
first, shoulders second, middlings
on top. Put the sheet you have
been sailing on over the pile,
tuck it under good and the job
is done. We use the sheet on
which the sailing was done be-
cause the spaces between the
threads get packed with salt and
blow flies are not apt to try to
penetrate it. Rub over with
dry salt ten days after first salt-
ing. We never salt the bones,
heads or jowls with the meat,
but always put in a separate
place, usually iii box. If the
weather is freezing and the meat
is liable to become frozen, salt it
down as soon as put up.
In warm weather the treat
ment is different. We remem-
Der once the weather was so
warm that the meat had to be
salted down with little animal
heat in it. After supper every
night for week the pile was
torn down and each piece was
placed by itself on the dirt floor
of the smoke-house before sun
up each morning the pile was
re-packed and the salt coverin 9
was replaced. 1t was warm
enough each day tor the bio W
flies to swarm thick in the smoke
house, but we did not lose a

A soldier who served in the
war with Mexico induced the
