OF the meat in preparing for dried
beef, so that the muscle fibres may
be cut crosswise when the dried beef
Is sliced for table use. A tight jar
or cask is necessary for curing. The
process Ia as follows: To each 100
pounds of meat weigh out five
pounds of salt, three pounds of
granulated sugar, add two ounces OF
saltpeter; mix thoroughly together.
Rub the meat on all surfaces with
third of the mixture, and pack It
into the jar as tightly as possible.
Allow II to remain three days, when
II should be removed and rubbed
again with another third of the mix
ture. In packing. put at the bot
tom the pieces that were on top the
first time. Let stand for three days,
when 1t should be removed and
rubbed with the remaining third OF
the mixture, and allowed to stand
for three days more. 1t Is then
ready to be removed from the pickle.
The liquid forming in the jars
sh ould not be removed, but the meat
should be re-paeked in the liquid
each time After being removed
from the pickle, the meat should be
smoked and hung in dry attic or

In that case. there is no reason why
single bushel OF milling wheat
should be placed In sacks.
But this discussion OF the sack
question at Pullman, like all the pre-
vious discussions on that subject, ter
minated In the conclusion that 1t Is
up to the farmers to make the
change. Some of the millers stated
that they would prefer to receive the
grain In bulk, and from all indica-
lions the proper thing to do is to
Danish the grain sack into exile.

Mining Prospects in REYNOLDS,

Ed Dennison of near Edgar Hill
was In Centerville yesterday, and
among other things told us that the
mining fever had again broken out
among the citizens in that vicinity.
One of the big lead companies of
Flat River have crew OF men pro
specting the Terry land, and Mr..
Dennison says they found some
large chunks of "rosin jack" and
that 1t is his opinion the Terry farm
and six or eight hundred acres adj
joining 1t, will be taken over by the
mining company In few days. The
Terry tract OF land Is optioned at
$4,000 MIR. Dennison also inform
ed us that his farm is situated on
the line of the new railroad from
Bismarck to Bunker, and that he
firmly believes that the road will be
pushed TO completion as soon as
possible. In the event that the Flat
River mining company takes the
Terry lands he thinks that company

THE WHY.

Much comment was heard in re-
gard to the public school having
school on New Years day. Not
only the children but the parents
were much exercised over this un-
heard-of state OF affairs, for within
the memory OF the oldest inhabitant
New Years had been school holi.
day. But the new rules for the gov
ernment of public schools in Mis-.
sourl, issued by tho State Superin-
tendent, announce that neither cleo
ton day nor New Years day are
legal school holidays, and that
schools must be In session on those
days In the new system of appor.
tioning the State school money, the
apportionment Is made on school
attendance and not on the number
OF children OF school age In dis
trict, so for this reason il Is neces.
sary to have as large an average at
tendance as possible, and the omis-
sion of one school day by any school
would cut down its average attend
ance considerably, and therefore Its
apportionment OF the State school
money. 1t is always well to know
the correct reason why things are
80 and so before blaming the school
board for something for which they
are not responsible.
