OF INTEREST TO FARMERS
BOOKS AND FARMERS,

Careless methods will no longer
suffice on the farm. The successful
farmer of today must be a business
man and a student of agricultural
science. Books and agricultural pa
pers to the progressive farmers are
just as essential as sharp tools to the
lumberman.
After the evening meal and imme-
diately following the social hour
around the fireside should be the time
for study. Let it be understood that
every member of the family must
read and that the information gained
is to be used in everyday life. The
children are now attending school, or
should be, and they will enter heart
lily upon their lesson during study
hours in the home. Encourage them
to study by becoming a student your
self.
Books are cheap, and every farm
home should have them. Farming re-
quires intelligence and those who fol-
low it successfully must keep up
with the progress of intellectual So
ciety. Let us remember that crops
and livestock are not all of farm
life. The farm is where good men
and women are reared. Study to
show thyself approved. Farm and

QUICK MEAT SMOKING.

The old smoke-house method of
smoking meat is too slow and bother
some and many do not like the con-
densed smoke. The following method
readily recommends itself to all for
quickness, cheapness and effective
ness. We have kept meat treated by
this process through the entire sea-
son.
Bore a one-inch hole in the bot
tom of a barrel. Invert the barrel,
hanging a piece Of meat through the
hole by a Topped wire, passing
small stick through the loop, to hold
the meat in place.
Next, scoop out q shallow basin in
the grOund-a little smaller than the
barrel. In this depression build
smoldering fire of chips and cobs,
whichever is the more convenient.
eve prefer the cobs.)
Now place the barrel and the meat
over the fire, leaving small opening
at the ground to form draught, and
you can smoke your meat to perfec-
ton in a very few moments. If sew
eral pieces are to be smoked, any
number Of barrels may be operated
at the same time and with equal re-
suits.
1t is advisable to keep a constant
watch during this process; in fact, it
is necessary that one do so, lest too
much draught be allowed and the
meat get too warm, or the barrel
catch fire and burn up both meat
and the barrel.-The Farm World.

WATER THE TREES.

Trees evaporate water at all times,
less in winter than in summer. When
the ground is dry, as it is this fall,
the tree may have a hard time get
ting enough moisture from the soil
to take the place of what evaporates.
If it cannot, the sap dries up and the
tree dies. This is the most common
form of tree killing. Fruit trees and
other trees that are not very hardy
should be both Watered and mulched.
The roots of a tree extend out as far
as the branches, SO water and mulch
ingly.-North Dakota Agricul-

CURING MEAT ON THE FARM.

In these days of salt-petre, ben
ZOate of soda, fOrmate and other dope
used by many big manufacturers in
the curing Of nearly everything we
eat, | wonder why more Of our farm
erS do not preserve their own foods
particularly meats. 1t seems to me
there is more danger in the use of
preservatiVes in the use of meats
than anything else, and picking of
meats on the farm is such a simple
matter that every man who kills his
own pigs should in addition to hams
and bacon put down a barrel of meat
picked Properly cared for it is de-
licious at certain seasons of the
year. On the old farm in Virginia
the following method was always
used. No better meats were ever put
on the farmers table:
For each one hundred pounds of
meat take two pounds of sugar and
four pounds Of salt. Mix we'll and
when the meat is first cut rub it we'll
with pure salt on the flesh side Let
it lie day or two and then drain
out any blood that may be left.
Divide the sugar and salt mixture in
three equal parts. Use one part on
the meat and pack in a barrel 1t
should then be allowed to lie three or
four days, when it should be rubbed
with another portion of the mixture
and three or four days later repeat
the operation with the remainder. 1t
should then be packed tightly in
barrel. After lying three or four
days it is ready to hang up. 1t must
be kept in a cellar or some place
where it will not freeze while the
curing process is going on. When
applying the salt and sugar mixture
it is more convenient if one has two
barrels to use at the same time.
A great many people do not seem
to understand that smoking meat
does not cure it except as the warmth
from the fire causes the moisture to
evaporate. There is no particular
virtue in the smoke itself and meat
could be as we'll cured by any kind
of slow gentle heat, even if no smoke
came from it. However, the heat
from clean, fresh hickory chips can
never be improved upon, and if peo-
pie believe that the quality of the
meat is improved by the sweet odor
from this form certainly no harm
will be done. The main thing is to
keep the heat regular and at low
point in order that the moisture may
be drawn out from the meat evenly.
