When you (Allah lengthen thine

Curing meat for future consumption
is one Of the annual jobs on the farm.
In some sections of the country, says
the Journal of Agriculture, the prob
lem Of salting down meat is a serious
one because of the heat In sections
Of the South there are winters when
there is very little cold weather and
1t is not until late that hogs may be
slaughtered. Here is a recipe which is
said to be a good one: For 1000
pounds of meat take ten quarts of salt
peter, pound of pepper and pounds
Of yellow sugar. Mix well. put In a
tub or some suitable vessel, and then
apply the mixture well to the meat.
This is said to be the most success
full method of salting meat there is,
both from standpoint of purity and
flavor.

EATING TOO MUCH.
overnutrition Is Just ax Harmful a.
Malnutrfffon


Malnutrifion.
IL Is an acknowledged fact that al
most every soul of us eats too much.
The digestive organs are constantly
overtrained and finally weakened. .
When wisely followed. the practice Of
fasting can be most beneficial. An ex.
pert on the food question has said that
one should rise from the table with
the feeling Of hunger. which is an ez.
perlence known to very few of us. On
the contrary, the majority of people
leave the board with sense of burden
which only an hours siesta can ale
viate. This is not so much owing to
the TACT that the food is uncommonly
rich. for the rule of the simple life oh.
talhs now in the fashionable cuisine
out II Is the quantity taken. There 3
a large community at the present mo
ment which fasts from breakfast time
TILL dinner at night. 1t is question
II 1t Is wise to leave the stomach
entirely without food during all thosa
hours, but there is no question that the
lighter the lunch taken the better will

hight lunch" in this instance is meant

lunch at all-that is to say, a few
crackers with cheese Ca much maligned
article of diet), few nuts and bit Of
fruit or a cup of cocoa with dry toast
Such feast" prevents the craving foi
food and In no way taxes the digestive
organs. Overnutrition is just as harm
ful as malnutrition and is far more
frequently the cause of maladies
With judicious fasting the system re
covers Its lost tone, and mental wOrs
ers would find that the brain worSeo
with surprising lightness, for the bran
is one of the chief sufferers from over
eating.-New Work American.

Quarter Crack.

This is one of the most serious trou-
bles with which we have to contend In
our dry climate. When a crack ap-
pears it is difficult matter to bring
down the new growth of sound hoof
without firing and, blistering, so that
prevention is ali important. There is
no need to cut out the sole or open
the heels, as IT is called. The frog
and heels should be left absolutely
alone, and they cannot be too well de-
veloped. The sole will take care OF
itself, for nature exfoliates dead horn
as required. Keep the wall rounded
at the ground surface, the toe short
and the frog prominent, and with few
exceptions horses Will come through all
right.-Field and Farm.

Preserving Milk.

A German patent specification de-
scribes a process for preserving milk
by removing all dissolved oxygen by
means of the addition of small quan-
tity of ferrous carbonate. The process
is based on the fact that freshly-pre-
cipitated ferrous carbonate in the pres
ence of oxygen Immediately assimilates
oxygen and evolves an equivalent
quantity of carbon dioxide. One part
Of ferrous carbonate is sufficient for
$4,000 parts milk, and the properties
of the milk are not altered in any way
by the addition, which should be made
before the milk is boiled.

Work Hours of Farmers.

Professor Boss, Of the Minnesota
Agricultural College, says that statis-
tics of the actual hours of labor on the
farms investigated show that farmers
work nine hours a day in summer and
between four and five In winter. Pro
fessor Bailey, of the Farm Life Com
mission, tells the story Of the school
ma'am working from to 4 until she
married a farmer, and had to work
from 4 to 8. Moral, schoolma ANS

OLD TOMB A DEATH TRAP
In All Five Persons Were Caught and
Suffocated One After
Another.

A certain native discovered the en-.
trance of a tomb in the floor Of his
stable. says A. E. P. Weigall, In Put.
MANS, and at once proceeded to
worm his way down the tunnel. This
was the end of the man. His wife,
finding that he had not returned for
two hours or SO later. went down
the Iewly-found tunnel after him.
ina was the end of her, also. In
turn, three other members of the fam
lily wen down into the darkness; and
that was the end of them. A native
official was then called, and, light
ing his way with a candle, penetrat-
ed down the winding passage. The
air was SO foul that he was soon
obliged to retreat, but he stated that
he was just able to see in the dis.
lance ahead the bodies of the unfor-
tunate peasants, all of whom had
been overcome by what he quantity
described as 1.-The evil lighting and
bad climate" Various attempts at
the rescue of the bodies having failed,
we gave orders that this tomb should
be regarded as their sepulcher and
that its mouth should be sealed up.
According to the natives, there was
evidently a vast hoard of wealth
stored at the bottom of this tomb, and
robbers had met their death
at the hands of the demon in charge
OF it, who had seized each man by
Inc throat as he came down the tun-
mel and had strangled him.

FAMOUS PICTURE MATCHED
Companion Piece Of a Painting In the
Frankfort Museum Is in
America,

One of the most widely-known col
lectors of old masters in this country
recently has acquired from the Enrich
galleries two canvases for his collec-
ton. These are Portraits of Frau
Urmiller and Daughter" by a Suabian
master of about 1925, and a Portrait
of a Venetian Lady," by B%ernadino
Licinio (about 1540).
Especially interesting in connection
with the example of early South Ger
mar portraiture is the fact hat it Is
the companion piece to a painting in
the Frankfort museum, representing
Herr Urmiller and son. Until four or
five years ago the Frankfort work was
always attributed to and admired as a
Holbein. The latest criticism, how
ever, has attributed the painting to
some unknown but extraordinary mas
ter who painted in the neighborhood
of Augsburg in the first half of the
sixteenth century.
Licinio, whose work consists prin-
cipally of portraits and family groups.
worked during the greater part of his
life in Venice and indicates the in
luence of Titan. Examples of his pic
lures are found in the principal gal
cries of Europe. The delicacy of out
lire, richness of color and purity Of
condition make the picture recently
,cquired from the Enrich galleries a
.otable example of Licinia's work.

One Who is Always Missed When Sick

The colonel returned Tuesday

her sister, Miss Billups, from a
several weeks pleasant visit to
New York, leaving his daugh ~er,
Miss Eoline Russell, who va
one of the party, in New York
to enjoy a few weeks longer in
the great metropolis. While in
New York, Colonel Russell SAT-
fered with a cold and an lib Ass
which laid him up for a ST TT

calling in of a doctor, and sllce
his return bronchitis has claim
ed him as a victim and confined
him to his home, though from
latest report he is improving.
Colonel Russell's greeting
alone makes life worth while to
those who meet him in the daily
walks of life, and to his fntimates
and associates he gives that
wealth of friendship, loyalty and
good comradeship which counts
for so much, that when he is out

The Finest Horses in the World.

Secretary of Agriculture,
United States of America, James
Wilson, who attended the Sells.
Floto Combined Shows recently,
was loud in his praise Of the
performance, and particularly so
of the excellent exhibition given
by The World Famous $4,000
Armour Grays, the Prize Win
ming international Champions.
Among Secretary Wilson'S
complimentary remarks were
the following:
Every farmer and his son
should see the Armour team;
they are the largest and most
beautiful draft horses in the
world. These powerful gray
Porcheon Geldings are a great
attraction"
This splendid and exceptional
equine exhibition has no dupli-
cate with any other circus, and
their tour has been marked with
pronounced success abroad and
all the way from the Pacific
Coast up to now, and is called
the most worthy high-class at
traction that has e,er been
toured with any circus. General
Manager w. E. Franklin of the
Sells Floto Consolidated Shows
will gladly refund the admission
fee to any reputable citizen
where this Big Show is offered,
providing he is not thoroughly
satisfied with the excellent exhi-
bition given by the Armour
|Grays, under the rein of the
exceptionally clever whip, Will
liam Chilly, Wales. The
Sells loto Shows will exhibit

Corner in 3 Cent Pieces.

The disappearance Of the
three cent piece has for years
been a matter of mild specula-
ton. Few persons are aware
that a large proportion of the
coins of this denomination which
remained in circulation when the
government stopped issuing tn I'm
are peacefully slumbering n
sundry large fat canvass bags Il
the vaults of a certain electri al
manufacturing company IF
Chicago. They are not for sale
just yet.
Each of the coins is an evidence
of petty larceny.
Years ago the company equip
ped many telephone pay stations
with dime slot machines. 1t was
supposed, declares the New York
Sun, that they could be worked
only with Dimes. The three
cent pieces were becoming rare
and no thought was taken Of
them.
Hardly six months passed be-
fore one of the telephone
companies discovered that the
collectors were yielding a har-
vest of .hree cent pieces. Then
from all over the country came
similar complaints.
Each company forwarded the
pieces to the manufacturing
company and more or less politely
asked that a corresponding num-
Der of dimes or a check for an
equivalent amount be sent back
in exchange.
A council was held at the off
of the manufacturing company,
The cost of correcting the boxes
was compared with fairly trust
worthy information of the nun.
Der of three cent pieces in
circulation. 1t was found tina a
balance was in favor of the thee
cents and it was decided to ac-
cept the pieces as dimes.
G adually the inpour Of three
cent pieces narrowed down to an
Intermittent curl ent. The COM
pany seemed to have about all
the pieces.
1t is said that if ever the
premium on three cent pieces
goes high enough the coins will
be offered to collectors at prices
based upon the original cost to
the company, plus 6 per cent a
year, plus cost of storage, plus
cost of guarding, plus cost of
carrying the fund upon the
books. Long ago the slot
machines that collected them
were relegated to the scrap heap.
