FARMERS CURE
THEIR MEATS
This May Be Done Rather Easily

tain Times.
CBv S. C. MILLER.)

By S. c. MILLER)
In these days Of salt-peter, benzoate
Of soda, formate and other dope
used by the big manufacturers In
the curing of nearly everything we
eat, wonder why more Of our farmers
do not preserve their own foods,
particularly meats. 1t seems to me
there is more danger in the use or
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 delicious 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 100 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
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1910-12-09

a barrel. It should then be allowed
to lie three or four days when 1t
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 a barrel. After lying three
or four days it is ready to hang up.
It 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 evapo-
rate. 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 people be-
lieve 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 a low point in Or
der that the moisture may be drawn
out from the meat evenly.

MANY ADVANTAGES WITH
CONCRETE FEEDING FLOOR
Prevents Feed From Being Tramp1ed Mud and Con.
tributes to Health of Animals by LesseninS
Chances Injection.

Since the advent of high-priced
corn and hogs, feeding floors of a
mere permanent nature than those
made of wood are receiving a good
deal Of attention, writes L. E. Trocger
of Iowa in Orange Judd Farmer. The
advantages of a floor Of some kind of
material like brick or cement over
plank need not be argued. There are
a good many feeding floors made of
the first named material to be found
throughout the corn belt, and without
exception they are proving a good in
vestment
In short, the main points in favor
of a feeding floor of permanent ma
ture is that it is a feed-saver, as it
prevents feed from being tramped in
to the mud; 1t provides a solid founda-
ton for troughs, prevents mudholes
around troughs, and undoubtedly con-
tributes to the health of the pigs by
lessening the chances of infection by

Left-OVerS,

Left-overs.
There is a prejudice in the minds OF
many people that anything warmed
over or served the second time is Oh
iectionable. There are rare house
keepers who are able to make ends
meet and not have any waste. In plan
ming the meals for a week ahead one
is able to make dishes for breakfast
or supper from the leftover of the
day before. Vegetables of all kinds
may with careful handling be trans
formed into salads, creamed and
escalloped dishes; in fact, there are
numerous ways of serving them.
Meats, being our most expensive
food. must be bought and prepared
with care. The most expensive cuts
do not contain any more nutriment
than the cheaper ones. By slow cook
ing and care in seasoning the cheaper
meats may be made most appetizing.
A nice way to use bits of leftover
chicken is to add 1t to cooked maca-
roni in layers, adding gravy or cream
for moisture. cover with buttered
crumbs and bake until the crumbs
are brown.
After a boiled dinner, a most de-
licious hash may be made which many
prefer to the boiled dinner itself.
Chop the corned beef after freeing 1t
from all gristle, and add an equal
quantity Of the cold egetables-beet,
carrot, cabbage, turnip and potato.
Season with salt and pepper, add lit
tie water and cook slowly until brown
underneath. Turn and fold on a plat
ter Garnish with parsley and serve.
Luncheon Chicken.
Cook two tablespoonfuls of butter
with a slice of onion and a slice of
carrot cut in bits for five minutes;
add two tablespoonfuls of -four and
one cup of chicken stock. Strain and
add a cup of cold cooked chicken, cut
in dice and well seasoned. Turn on a
buttered platter and sprinkle with
buttered crumbs. Make four nests,
and in each slip an egg; sprinkle with
crumbs and set in the oven until the
eggs are firm. This is dish of nutri-
ment sufficient for dinner.
FatherIand Loaf.
Butter a long, narrow tin and line

and bake a half hour. Turn out on a

Intestinal parasites. 1t is a practice
with some men to clean off the floor
with a shovel every day when the
floor is used for growing pigs, which
removes thousands of worm eggs
when the herd is wormy, and there
are few that are not to a certain ex-
tent.
The accompanying illustration shows
the main points in a feeding floor
that combines all the best fea-
lures with cheapness. This is con-
structed as follows: Select we'll
drained spot in the hog lot, remove
all rubbish and litter till solid
earth surface is secured. Level the
surface, and If there are any soft
spots fill with clay If obtainable, and
tramp firm. On this surface spread
an inch of sand and smooth the same

souns Without Meats.

In these days of high prices we
must use every means to have good
meal with a small expenditure. Soup
starts a meal well and there are
legion that may be prepared very
cheaply. The object of taking soup
at the beginning of meal is to warm,
stimulate and prepare the stomach for
the heavier meal that is to follow.
The clear beef soups are valuable only
as to warmth and stimulation. Cream
soups are food, and are only served
when the dinner or meal to follow Is
a light one.
Cream of Corn Soup.-Take can
of corn, g quart Of milk and a grated
onion; cook together until well heat
ed; add a binding of tablespoonful
of butter and flour cooked together
and added to the soup. Season with
salt and pepper, put through a sieve
reheat and serve.
Potato soup is one that is most
appetizing Use two or three potatoes,
cook until tender with a slice OF
onion, put through a sieve, add quart
of milk and the binding OF a table
spoonful O. butter and flour; season
and serve.
Clear Tomato SOup-Add a pint OF
water to a quart of steWed tomatoes,
a slice of onion, salt, a sprig of eel
cry and little red pepper and bay
leaf. Cook two tablespOOnfuls of but
ter with two tablespoOnfuls of flour
and add to the soup; strain and serve
with crOutOns
Mock Oyster Soup.-Scrape II good
sized roots of the oyster plant or
satisfy, and throw them at once into
cold water. Cut in thin slices and
cook until tender i'll boiling water.
Add a quart of milk, two teaspoon
fuls of salt, a few dashes Of cayenne
and two tablespoonfuls of butter.
Searve in a tureen with oyster crack
ers.
Pea Soup.-Take a quart can of
peas, heat and put through a sieve;
add two teaspoonfuls of sugar, pint
of milk and two tablespoonfuls of but
ter and two of flour cooked together
and added to bind. Cook until smooth,
season with salt and pepper and serve.
Spinach and asparagus make very
wholesome soups, also onion and cab
bage. Celery makes a soup of delicate
flavor and may be made of the parts
of the celery too coarse to serve In
other ways.

for the brick If considerable dirt
has to be removed to secure solid

In this case the ashes should be rolled
if possible, at least, made as solid as
can be with the means at hand. Ii
the meantime the retaining wall
should be put in. This should be made
of concrete six inches wide and ten
or twelve inches high, so that the
base will rest on firm soil. The cor

rods or wire If such material is al

The bricks should now be laid,

French Dishes.

So deeply rooted and grounded are
we in the belief that French cookery
is the sine qua non of that art that
the impression fingers after the fact
has been demonstrated that though
France knows much, she does not
know all. Mark Twain, who apprecl-
ated a good dinner and had also the
courage of his convictions, wrote III
his pleasing way, of the ordinary din
ner, served as it is in Europe by the
French cook:
'"The European dinner is better than
the European breakfast, but it has IN
feriorities; it does not satisfy" We
must admit, however, that the French
have distanced US in matters Of econ
omy. They look with dismay upon
the huge roasts and steaks which are
found on many American tables.

Crib and Granary With Feeding Floor.

should not be set in the floor, as
slop will sour under them in
warm weather and rats may burrow
beneath.
If it is desired to feed pigs away
from the sows the floor can be fenced
in and doors made in the fence that
will keep all but the pigs out. A floor
that is 16 feet wide and 80 feet long
will furnish space for about 100 pigs
or a car load of fattening hogs, and
will cost for materials only around
$35 to $40. Feeding can be made very
convenient by building a combination
corn crib and granary adjoining the
floor. In the granary part a variety
of feeds can be kept, also a feed
cooker and other adjuncts. This is
a very good arrangement for small
farm.
