He has ranch of 1O5 acres at Bur-

of $4,000; then there's his city man
sion, which could be assessed for $25,-
600 without generalization; his saloon

Gus city business property which total
S150,000, making a grand final in fig

mate on his possessions.
But that Reno thing still rankles,
and James has been heard to remark,
once at least, since the affair in the

bloated bondholder.

HOGS and

Good Old Days When Meat

Martin Calvin Believes the Smoke
House Will Soon Be The Thing on
Every farm in Georgia or the

(By Martin V. CALVIN


In my boyhood | assisted every win

picking and not little of the smok-
ing.
Time having been given for the meat
to cool thoroughly. | dry salted and
packed on close floor the sides, the
shoulders, the hams, in order mem
toned. With pieces of leather to pro-
tect my knees l got down to work
rubbing in the salt with an old shoe
To the shoulders and hams, at the
joints, l applied a small quantity Of
pulverized saltpetre, rubbing it in.
Then | put salt two inches deep over
the pile After two weeks, l pull
ed the pile down and resulted In
another week or two, according to the
condition of the weather, the meat
was ready to be put in the smoke
house or the smoke hogshead; | have
seen very many of the last mentioned
in successful operation.
We grew what were called Mexican
needles. My father took the leaves OF
blades, cut off the thorn of the needle
point and treated them to boiling wa
ter. Dried they made hold-fast strings
which were used in tying and hanging
up the meat to be smoked Punk and
hickory were used to produce the
smoke-hickory being the most salts
factory.
A short time only was required 10
bring the meat to a beautiful brown.
In picking pork we used the follow.
ing formula or recipe: gallons of wa
ter, pounds of salt, IL ounces OF
saltpetre, and l 1-2 pound of (sayD
granulated or pounds of brown SUI
gar, This was the requisite quantity
for every 100 pounds of pork,
The preparation was boiled, allowed
to get cold, then poured over the meat
which had been packed in large tubs,
barrels or half barrels The brine was
course, sufficient in quantity to cover
the meat three or four inches in the
clear. The recipe answered for beef
also,
The Virginia ham recipe was as fol-
lows: 20 gallons of water, 30 pounds
of salt, ounces of soda, ounces Of
saltpetre, and 10 pounds of brown su-
gar, or / gallon of molasses. Boil,
cool and apply,

corn so long that memory of man run

of fact, to feed hogs on corn exclu-

Ready For Him.
Washington, D. c., January O.
President Taft is beginning to feel the
strain of official entertainment, both
in his own and other homes, and his
friends say is manifesting his frank
ness to those who used to be his
hosts.
One of the presidents most cherish
ed dishes is a good steak, and always
when he is at home to dinner, he is
served with an individual steak and
plenty of bread. Somebody whispered
this little trait of the presidents to
somebody else and word was passed
along the line until prospective hosts
of the president now have no fear or
serving something which will not be
to his liking.
