Method For Curinu Hams.

The following method of curing hams and bacon has been used in a Missouri family for many years: For an eighteen or twenty pound ham mix a desscrtspoonful of saltpeter with one fourth or one third pound of brown sugar and rub well into the flesh side of the ham. Pack in tubs or boxes and cover the flesh side well with fine salt. Allow the meat to re- main fin the boxes from four to six weeks Small hams or pieces may be removed In four weeks time. Lift out and rub all salt off and cover well with good ground black pepper. Be sure to put plenty of pepper around the bone. Let hang for two or three days to dry and smoke for six or eight weeks. You will not only have very fine favored meat, but 1t will not have to be bagged. To make Missis- sippi sausage take eight pounds of lean tenderloin, five pounds of back hone fat, four teaspoonfuls of black peppers, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one teaspoonful of cayenne pepper seven teaspoonfuls of sage. Grind twice an6 mix we'll.

the bottom or head proper. Six or seven inches of coarse gravel or bro ken stone are next placed on the false bottom, and on this stone q layer of charcoal six or seven inches thick is placed, and on the charcoal a second layer of stone or gravel. In all it- should be about eighteen or twenty inches thick. The water enters tue" barrel at the bottom between the head and the false bottom through the reg ular down spout. which Is clearly Illus trated. It passes up through the gravel and charcoal and out at the top through a second pipe which leads to the cistern. The top layer of stone may be improved on by filling the voids between the stone with sand The sand is covered with cheeseclotbs stretched on a wire and the cloth and wire held in place with None or two stones. A small wooden plug or faucetr Is placed at the lower end of the barr rel to drain same after rain or wjbe:T washing out the filter.

THE GATE WHEN CLOSED.

It may be filled with gravel, etc, until the gate Is slightly the heavier and so that slight pull will cause 1t to fold back in place.
 It may be necessary where unruly stock is kept to set two posts for the gate to shut between, in order to keep them from pushing through. The post for the weight may be bolted to two ordinary fenceposts, or they may be full length, but in either case they should be set well into the ground. The grooved wheel over which the rope works may be secured from al- most any pile of old scrap iron, or, if one cannot be found, make it of wood by saving three wheels and having one slightly smaller than the others. Nail them together, with the small wheel in the center. This forms a fange that will hold the rope in place. The gate may be constructed to lift straight up by setting long posts on

Country News and Views.


 The government is developing the Morgan horse at the breeding estab- lishment at Waybridge, Vt.
 The American mule is said to be worth $416,939,OOO, for it is claimed that 1t is comparatively immune from disease and Is not susceptible to con- tagion.
 The Kansas experiment station has realized $11.00 per acre from rape pas ture and $2410 from alfalfa pasture in ninety-eight days. These results were obtained from experiments which were begun July 9 and concluded Oct. 31.
 To keep up the fertility of the soil it is imperative that the orchards be lib erally fertilized. Both mineral and vegetable fertilization Is necessary. X crop of apples will remove considera- bly more potash from the soil than will a crop of wheat. To produce trees re- quires large quantities of both vegeta- ble and mineral matters. Unleached wood ashes are excellent.
 Horses that are idle in the winter should not be fed much feed that is rich in nitrogen-as. for instance, clover hay. If horse does not receive regu. lar exercise he canIfot assimilate such feeds. and consequently the system be. comes clogged and the disease known as azoturia takes place. Horses to keep in good condition should have daily work or exercise.

A RISING AND FOLDING GATE.
Easily Constructed, Inexpensive and Operated by a Balance Weight.

A gate that will rise or fold has its advantages. One may be constructed without much expense.
 The gate should be braced both ways and made of good. clear lumber. The balance weight may be hung with a wire rope or n one-half inch cotton rope. However, if cotton, hemp or sisal is used the rope should have close attention, that it does not in some manner become worn or cut. The weight may be made in several ways, the best and least expensive perhaps being a slim galvanized iron bucket.

AFTER MAIN Ben HuR LEDGE

Development on the Ben Hur
Mining company's property en-
which such a good strike was
made recently has again been
resumed. It's the intention to
continue the tunnel to the main
edge which, it is believed: will
be encountered 40 to so feet
further on. Az soon as this has
been struck and the nature Of
the main ledge determined at
this point, it is the intention to
return to the first strike and
commence drift in both direct
ions. The property is located in
the Saltese section and adjoins
the holdings of the Tarbox mine.
