The Public Recital given by the
Music Department. Tuesday evening,
was an event which showed better
than words can express the careful
and painstaking work done by the
teachers of that department.
Special mention is deserved by
those who performed on the Cabinet
organ. Great credit is due Miss Thurs
ton for the development of this line
Of work. Many of the piano students
showed strength and fine artistic
temperament. The vocal numbers
were also much appreciated.
IL these recitals could occur oftener.
IL would be a benefit to the Music

preciated by the public.

ARM CURED PORK IS BEST

The two reasons why farmers should
cure their own pork are these: First,
when they buy pork from the store.
keeper they r paying commissions tc
several men. which is unnecessary.
Second. the meat that comes from the
store lacks the favor of the home.
cured product.
Of the different methods of curing,
what is known as s~ugar-curing is the
simplest and best for most farmers.
The meat is put in a barrel, and the
p~reservatiyes used are salt and brown
sugar. These and a small amount OF
saltpeter to preserve the color are the
only necessary articles.
The meat is handled in this manner
When thoroughly cool and before
frozen, for sale does not act properly
on warm or frozen meat, rub each
piece with salt and allow to drain over
night. Then pack 1t in the barrel
with the hams and shoulders in the
bottom, using the strips Of bacon tc
fill in the spaces or to put on top
For each 100 pounds of meat use the
following amounts of preservatives:
Salt .................8 lbs. or 1 gal
Brown sugar....... lbs. or l quart
Saltpeter. q ozs. or 2 tablespoon fulls
Dissolve all in four gallons Of water
and cover the meat with the brine
Bacon strips should remain In the
brine four to six weeks; hams six t,
eight weeks. This is a standard re
cipe and has given the best of salts

individual farms, but whole communi.
ties have been brought up from a con-
dition of productivity by animal hus.
bandry.
Farm nature is now and always has
been the greatest resources for main
tanning soil fertility on the middle
west farm. The production of farm
yard manure now represents a value
greater than the total value of the
corn crop. The estimated annual
value OF farm manure produced in
America is two and a third millions
Of dollars. All authorities agree that
more than a third of this material is
absolutely wasted by farmers. If this
manure nov wasted could be intelli-
gently applied to the corn lands of
America, there would be added $780,
100000 annually to the agricultural
wealth of this country.
In planning systems of live stock
farming for permanent agriculture, ii
is necessary to apply the amount Of
phosphorus removed in the animal
products sold, either as commercial
fertilizer, or by the purchase of sup
plimentary foods. This amount will
be comparatively small, and if added
by the purchase Of supplementary
foods may be supplied at little or nc
additional cost, as the products from
feeding will pay for the phosphorus
used.

The main or western block is known
as the Central hall, in which is a beau
tifully proportional hall for meetings

by those Of st. Paul's and the British
museum reading room. There will be
seating for $500, or more, and room
lis provided for an orchestra Of fully
100.
Included in this block is a fine Ii
brary to contain modern standard
books Of theology. science, biography,
travel, history and economics, and to
be furnished as a reading room, with
facilities also for obtaining tea and

London.-It is characteristic Of the
spirit of John Wesley, who made his
ringing message not to a parish, but
to a world, that in these days his fol-
lowers-"the people called Method
ists"-should have chosen a site alike
SO historical and so commanding as
that on which the new Central hall
and Connexional buildings have been
reared at Westminster.
Here 1t was that Edward V. was
born in sorrow and baptized like a
poor mans child" in 1470, and from
here, too, 13 years later, his mother,
Queen Elizabeth Woodville, sitting
alone believe on the rushes all DESC

with his brother to the Tower to that
pathetic of deaths by murder. With

knights of Rufus tramped, and where
King Charles I. stood on his trial be-
fore those who knew not what true
freedom meant. Above all, the build
ing stands under the very shadow Of
the noble abbey, the nations Mother
church.
Wesleyans the world over are proud
of the vast pile and the position 1t
occupies. It's inception goes back
to the conference of 1898, when 1t was
decided to endeavor to raise a TWEEN
tieth century fund of a million gum
cas-. When it is stated that the total
membership Of the church in this
country was considered less than a
million, including children, it will
be realized that it was a great deal to
ask.

sary to prolong II, and 1t was not I'M
til 1904 was we'll advanced that the
last gift was received. In that time
holidays were cheerfully foregone,
clothes were patched and mended,
walking was substituted for omnibus
or car rides, and little Injuries Of to-

up.
Out of the million guineas some
thing like one-fourth million pounds

THE CROP TO STOCK
LIVE STOCK MORE PROFITABLE
THAN GRAIN FARMING.
BY F. q. Mumford, Dean of College Of
Agriculture, University of
Missouri.

What the farmer wants is q scheme
Of soil conservation that Is profitable.
II live stock farming conserves fer
dlity, but is not profitable, then 1t
need not be further considered.
But live stock farming is profitable,
and ia more profitable than any other
system of permanent agriculture that
has been used. The average annual
net income from stock and dairy
farms in the United States for the
ten-year period ending with the year
1899 was 11.42, while the income from
hay and grain farms was only $7.72
per acre. In Missouri the income
from stock farms was 1856 and from
grain farms $3.50. The most prosper
GUS and best managed farms through
out the corn belt today are the farms
where livy stock is a large, if not a
chief factor of production.
Exclusive grain farming as prac-
ticed from New England west to the
Dakotas has left behind a trail OF
depleted soils, and where carried on
for too long a time, ruined farms and
abandoned homes have marked the
way. When we remember that at a
very conservative estimate the slower
or stalks, leaves and stems of the
corn plant contain not less than 25
per cent Of the total feeding value of
the entire plant, and that under sys.
tens Of exclusive grain farming all
this material is so utilized that only
it's humus value IS saved, we must
conclude that there is another method
whereby this valuable feed-stuff may
be first converted into animal prod.
ucts. Such a method is certainly to
be recommended.
What is needed to maintain and
improve the fertility of the soil? The
investigations OH this matter are clear,
There are four things needed under
existing conditions to supply, directly
or indirectly, to the land. These are
vegetable matter or humus. phos'
phosus, nitrogen and potash. 1t is
correct for us to say that in any we'll
planned system Of live stock farming
the humust supply can be easily sus
tanned. The nitrogen can be rapidly
increased, and the phosphorus and
potash supplied either through the ap
pIication Of fertilizer directly, or by
the purchase Of foods to be first fed
TO animals and the anu later ap
piled to the land.

feed. Too often the colts are expect
ed to thrive on corn and timothy hay.
These are good feeds for some ami
mails, but they lack the m~uscle-build-
ing power which all young stock
need.
There are two classes of feeds,
those which form fat and those which
build muscle. All feeds serve both
purposes to some extent, but SEINE are
SO decidedly fat-forming and some are
so decidedly musole-building that the

By c z Bn.hsr. coIsss Of AeisuInrs. Univwd.y d Mi..oud

Without careful attention after
weaving. the colt can never develop
to the size or value it was meant to
attain. This is true with all the stock
on the farm. They need good feed in
the right amounts, they need exercise
and they need sunlight and fresh air.
The colts should not be confined to a
dark stable where they cannot run
and play. They are worth too much
money to be deprived of the things
necessary for their development. Let
them live in a pasture and have the
run of an open shed.
And In feeding, what the colts usu-
ally suffer from most is not the guam

fat and muscle forming constituents
in about the right proportion. Many
lorsen,en feed their colts ground oats,
no matter what the price.
While oats is probably the best
grain feed we have, corn can be made
to serve well if it is supplemented
with oil meal. Oil meal is very high
in protein and furnishes what the
corn lacks. Six parts of corr and one

the colt.
The colt does best when it gets just
what it will eat up clean, so that it is

However, good, bright timothy fed
