RULES FOR CURING MEAT.
Preparing In Brine Most Desirable For
Average Farm Conditions.

Preparing In Brine Most Desirable For
Average Farm Conditions.
All meat that is to go into the cur
ing vessel must be thoroughly cooled
before it is packed. 1t is also well to
let it cool thoroughly before attempt
ing to cut it into convenient pieces.
because 1t is tirmer and can be cut
into much smoother pieces than when
1t is warm.
Pork may be dry salted. or cured
in brine. the latter being the most
desirable for average farm conditions,
because it requires less attention and
takes up less room. When pork is
dry cured It is necessary to rehandle
the meat and rub 1t several times
with the curing materials used With
the brine process. the meat is put in
the vessel. the brine poured over It. and
It will not be necessary to handle It
again until it is ready to be taken out
and smoked
Il In cutting the pork. trim all parts
smoothly, and remove all scraggy por-
tienss IS they can be used to advantage
for sausage meat while fresh. but are
wasted il put through the curing pro-
cess. In trimming the hams and shoul-
ders. expose as little Of the lean meat
as Is necessary. because the action OF
the salt while in process Of curing will
make the lean meat hard
After all pieces Of meat have been
properly cooled and trimmed. take each
piece separately and rub it all over
with salt and lay 1t aside for twenty
four hours. After the salt has been
absorbed. pack 1t into a vessel-sirup
barrel or any other barrel that has
been properly cleaned Pack the meat
in tightly, putting the hams and shoul.
ders at the bottom. Weigh out. for
each 100 pounds OF meat. ten pounds
Of salt, four pounds Of brown sugar
and two ounces of saltpeter. Dissolve
this in four gallons of boiling water.
Stir it well. so that all the salt and
sugar will be dissolved. Let it stand
until cool. and then pour over the meat.
This amount OF water should be suf-
ficient to cover well the meat in the
vessel.
Put a round wooden cover over the
top and weight 1t down with a stone
so as to keep all the meat under the
brine. but IL not sufficient brine add
enough to cover the meat, Put the
vessel in some cool place and let it
stand for from six to eight weeks.
when the meat will be ready to be
taken out Of the brine and smoked or
used. It may be left in the brine for a
longer time If desired. The use Of
sugar in brine keeps the lean meat
from getting hard and also adds a
sweet favor to the meat. The small
amount Of saltpeter is used to retain
the natural color Of the meat.-Col.

More About "Humoreske"

II read with interest the remarks about
Dvorak's Humoreske'-aboutt the pathetic
mood of the popular composition" said
an old concertgoer
II thought the word Humoreske' was
well chosen. While the piece is plaintive
and almost melting, it quickly suggests
gentle humor. Nicholas DeYore in Musi-
cal America, under a Chicago date line,
has a good deal to say in praise of Mr..
Oberhoffer and his Minneapolis Symphony
orchestra, but he pokes fun at his effort
to improve on Humoreske. Mr.. De-
Wore says in part:
AT last 1t has come to pass A fan
tasia with variations on poor Dvorak' s
that.
"'Mr. Oberhoffer's tambourine player
was the most riotous factor in the well
ordered throng-so you can know this
was no mere Coney Island rabble. But
the "Humoreske, with antiphonal eff
fects for all the choirs, double cadenza
for the twin concertmeisters, a counter
melody of way Down Upon the SUI
vance River for one of the deep throat
ed. hooters, and all in a tempo rubato
which even out-de Pachmanned de Pach-
mann-it certainly was conner with
the crowd. 1t ought to be made perma-
nent daily attraction, like 1.-THE Storm"

A JAPANESE FAIRY TALE

In Harper's Bazaar for August ap-

the Harper's Young People pages from
a little American girl in Japan:
II am going to tell you Japanese
fairy tale. Once a Japanese husband
and wife had little sparrow, and one
day the man went to cut some wood in
the forest. and the woman was wash
ing clothes and had some starch on the
table. The bird flew in and ate the
starch So the woman drove it away
The man came back and he scoded
the woman. then he went out into the
forest to find the bird, and when he
found it he was very glad. The bird
said it had a present for the man and
1t went and got two baskets. The man
took the smallest basket, then went
home and found 1t full of gold and sill
yer. The woman said, why ddn't
you take the biggest? The man re.
piled, Because l thought l would let
him keep that one" The woman said
Well i will go out and get it," Sc
she went and got the biggest one. anC
when she came home she found it full
of frogs and toads.

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
Presidential Campaign Money

| ut is hardly possible to see how VIII
son and Marshall could be defeated,
| said Nathaniel V. Wormster of Chicago
There are thousands of independent
voters like myself who have leaned to the
democratic party, but who have never
voted the democratic ticket when Bryan
was a candidate who will vote for the
nominees of the Baltimore convention
II take no active part in politics, but
hear more democratic talk now than
usual. | was in New York week ago,
and I learned that leading democrats
there were very hopeful of victory in No
vember.
1T is possible, perhaps. for Mr.. Taft to
be elected by the free use of money.
Several million dollars will be raised by
the republican finance committee but the
democrats will have to depend, upon
small subscriptions.
I'm 1892, the national democratic COM
mittee raised, II is understood, several
million dollars. 1t was done quietly. l
have been told that the expenses of the
campaign were much less than had been
expected, and that some of the money
was turned back to the contributors.
II am taking for granted that the Will
son and Marshall campaign will be con-
Quoted on high plane and without the
thought of a corruption fund. but mill
lion and a half or two million dollars, l
am told, could be judiciousy and honest
ly spent. If the democrats do not raise
the amount of money needed 1t will be a
pity for nothing would contribute to
democratic defeat so much as scarcity of
furds. But I am assuming that Chair
man McCombs will be able to raise what
money is called for. At any rate, I would
be willing to bet now that Wilson will
be the next President"
