Now that the first political spasm is
over, would it not be well to take a va
cation from political discussions, and
get upon some subject OF more material
benefit to the masses. What are the
farmers going to do about marketing
their cotton? President Harris of the
Farmers Union still urges the holding,
end we have no doubt his advice is bas-
ed upon wisdom, but the early green
cotton cannot be held and must be dis
disposed of. Our advice is to gather as
much cotton as conditions will permit,
put it into marketable shape and let it
90 to the credit side of the merchants
ledger. Take your cotton and pay your
debts, then, if there is any left and the
price is not what it should be, house 1t
at home, or put it into warehouse.
There is no doubt in our mind that
with warehouse facilities the farmers
can, if they will, prevent the price from
going down below the cost OF produc-
tion. The reports from all sections OF
the cotton belt would indicate large
crop, but on examination of the stalks
will show the yield is not near as large
as was once supposed:this is not only SO
in South Carolina, but We are informed
the yield in Texas is curtailed consider
ably.
Pay your debts is of most Importance.
The merchants had hard time carry
ing over accounts last year; some Of
them could not stand the strain and
went to the wall, but if the farmer will
do his duty there will be another era
OF prosperity for merchant and farmer.

70. Curing Hams.

Well cured hams have always been
delicacie Lucullus charmed the most
critical taste OF Rome with his hams
and the old Saxons learned the method
from the Romans, carrying their
knowledge with them to England, and
in course OF time sending with their
best blood across the ocean.
In this country Virginia has long
boasted OF having the finest hams that
money and taste could produce: some
of them being kept for 25 years before
being eaten. That they cure fine ham
goes without saying. for except for a
painful ignorance of the virtues OF rice
and of how to cook it, the Virginians
are a highly civilized people.
There are certainly more ways than
one to cure ham, although have not
been attracted by the German method
of boring into the bone and putting in
saltpetre, nor by the Holland custom OF
curing hams in the ashes, nor by the
packing house way of evaporatlng them.
These things have their uses and the
packing house would hardly be able to
pursue the method in vogue among
South Carolina's most highly educated
farmers. Too much time is required
for this.
Ny father. Hon. James 3 Rice, at
Ninety-Six. has given me the following
receipt. which is the result OF his 40
years experience in curing fine hams.
There are notifications: Of course, and
there are other good methods, which
ought TO he published also for the in
formation of the public. Such lnforna-
tion wculd do vast good.
I might take an aside just long
enough to say that the hog alone pos
sessesS a ham-true, one speaks OF venl-
son hams, but this is figure OF speech,
mere poetic license. The razor-back
has only hind leg, not ham. Of all
hams the Berkshire leads in this coun-
try. Other strains find favor in Ireland,
England, Germany and France.
COL. RICE's RECEIPT.
After hogs are killed cut off the
heads (split heads and take out brains
at once). Take out the backbone and
spread meat on floor OF smoke house
(ground hoor) with paper and cloth
under it for the first night. Sprinkle
salt freely over meat.
Next day cut up. Rub teaspoonful
of saltpetre on each joint: then rub
thoroughly with salt and pack in box
or trough verv closely. It is well to put
a good weight over the meat to make
it lie close, spreading first a good strong
cloth over the meat.
In 81 days, if the weather is clear,
take meat out of box and hang up,
hooks. down. Smoke freely with hick-
ory smoke. Sprinkle red pepper sever
al times over the fire Some people
rub a teaspoonful of borax over each
joint when they hang up. Next make
large pot OF strong red pepper tea and
dip each joint in it, while boiling. to
kill insects before hanging up.
After dipping joints in rad pepper
tea, rub with black pepper, made sticky
with molasses. Then wrap in close
wrapping paper, Sie with strings, put in
in sacks and hang up.
This ham reaches perfection after in
is three years old, although it makes
very fine ham at one year
