MY TRIP TO COLUMBIA.
Laura Emily Dial
Sixth Grade.

Sixth Grade.
We left Laurens last Friday morn
ing at s o'clock for Columbia. Mr.
Jones had secured special car for
the school children.
When we reached Columbia a street
car was waiting at the depot to carry
us to the fair grounds.
The different exhibits were all in
one large steel building. The building
is one Of the largest of its kind in
the United states. 1t contains nearly
Dseventy thousand square feet of floor
space. About thirty-fve thousand
people could be comfortably seated.
Around the sides of the main hall
were placed the state exhibits. There
were twenty-seyen state exhibits.
Above each were beautiful paintings
representing the products of the
states. Unfortunately some of the
exhibits were lost and this made
empty booths.
am very glad to say that thought
South Carolina had the best exhibit.
/ enjoyed seeing the loom which was
in the Clemson college booth make
cloth.
In one booth were a number of Ca
tawba Indians from the reservation
near Rock Hill.
The lady made OF tobacco interested
me.
Varieties of corn, cotton, hay, hemp,
hibited.
At one place were some old gray
haired negroes grinding coru into
meal as in olden times.
saw the two beautiful trophies
won by Indiana, one for the hest sin
gle ear of corn and the other for the
best ten ears of corn.
also enjoyed seeing the illustration
OF irrigation and the milking of COWS
by electricity
| Another very interesting thing was
the picture of the Shadow of the Cross
When the room was made perfectly
dark you could tell the time of day
from the wonderful picture. Later
this picture will be placed in the
Corcoran Art Gallery, at Washington.
1t was very pleasant to watch the
tomato club girls and corn club boys.
We saw the little girl who canned
over one thousand cans of tomatoes
and we met Jerry Moore.
On Saturday morning we left our
room very early in order to see some
of the sights of Columbia.
Trinity church yard where Timrod,
Hampton and other noted men are
buried was the first place visited. Next
we went to the University, where we
saw the different halls, and the South
Carolina library. In here, in a large
room on the upper floor you see boys
seated around studying, and also
stat of noted men and beautiful
pictures. On the lower floor are lots
of books. We went into the laboratory
and also the museum, where we were
shown the ordinance Of secession. The
grounds of the university were beau
tiful.
After that we took a walk and saw
the beautiful Colonial hotel, which the
Baptists of the state are trying to
get as a hospital.
Just across the street is the home
which was once occupied by the
Wilson's and will be the home of the
president If he comes south in the
Winter.
We now went to the State House
grounds. Here are beautiful monu-
ments. One is to Hampton and the
other to the women. On one side of
the state house is a scar left b. sher-
mans cannon ball.
/ enjoyed my visit to the senate ard
the house of representatives.
After paying hurried visit to the
asylum and Columbia college we
boarded the train for Laurens.

RECIPE F0R CURING MEAT.
al. R. euthrie, in Port Gibson Reyei!

(H. r. Guthrie, in Port Gibson Reveille)
So many have asked for my
method of curing the hams and
bacon shown at the Fair / herewith
give the recipe and ask that you
publish same, although / think it
was printed by you once before.
I try TO select cool, dry day with
temperature below 40, but not cold
enough to freeze the meat, and
slaughter in the afternoon, hanging
dressed hogs in an out house or
open shed 80 as to cool thoroughly.
Early the next morning it is cut
into the different parts. Farmers
Bulletin No. 1873 U. S. Depart
ment Of Agriculture gives excellent
directions for this. 1t is then rubbed
with dry salt and spread out on
tables or boards 30 as not to touch
and allow to drain for two days.
It is then packed in clean, sweet
barrel, hams in bottom and shout
des on top, with sides cut into ba-
con strips and packed in between
the large pieces and covered with
brine, made as follows for each 100
pounds meat:
lbs. salt lbs. brown sugar
o.. ealtpeter OF. red pepper
l-2 OF. soda or potash 5 gallons water
Mix thoroughly and pour over
the meat. Weight heavily so meat
is kept entirely covered. Leave in
brine four to six weeks according
10 size. When taken up, string and
hang to dry-one or two days
then smoke use liquid smoke)
and as soon as dry or smoked
enough wrap in heavy brown paper
and cover with thin cotton cloth.
Make a very thick white-wash and
coat the cloth thoroughly; hang in
a dry, airy place. l have kept meat
this way over the second summer
without any sign of spelling.

HOG CHOLERA SERUM.

Hog cholera is spreading and in
creasing its ravages in the State and
this despite the distribution of large
quantities of serum by the Live
Stock Sanitary Board and instruct
i've literature sent out by the same
body.
The increase of the disease is due
in large part to the negligence Of
those who own infected herds. To
eradicate it it is absolutely essential
to observe sanitary precautions. In
the main these are:
Separation of the well and sick
hogs.
The burying four feet underground
of all carcasses; better the burning
of these.
Precautions to prevent the spread
by dogs, buzzards, water in running
streams, or by persons going from
a sick herd into a lot where well an
finals are kept.
To follow out the sanitary recon-
mendations of the Board is as neces-
sary are the use Of the serum.
1t may become necessary, if the
swine breeders of the State do not
comply with the sanitary regula-
tons, to restrict the giving of serum
to those who will follow the rules
laid down by the Live Stock Board.
The manufacture of hog cholera
serum, according to the method of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, was begun under the su-
pervision of the Louisiana Live Stock
Sanitary Board in 1910.
The results obtained IRON the use
of the serum when given in time
and under proper sanitary condi-
ton have been gratifying. Hereto
fore, with inadequate appropria-
tions, the Board has been unable to
satisfy the demands, but an increase
in the funds available has made it
possible to enlarge the manufactur-
ing capacity. For the first time in
its history the Board has reserve
of $500 doses of tested serum which
can be obtained by any person who
is losing hogs with this disease.
1t is the policy of the Board to
send one of its men where an out
break occurs if the services of such
man is desired. However, a vet
erinarian can be employed to do
the work, provided one resides near
enough for his services to be pro-
cured. When the Board sends one
of its men no charge is made for
bis services, but necessary travelling
expenses and a charge of one and
one-quarter cents per cubic cent?
meter must be met by the owner of
the diseased hogs. In making re-
quests for serum the total approx
mate weight of the herd should be
given. Twenty cubic centimeters of
serum are required for each hun
dred pounds of hogs.
All communications for serum
should be addressed to the Secretary
of the Louisiana State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, Baton Rouge, La.

The total population of the Ten
sas parish Jail at the threshold of
1913 consists of four lonely unfor-
tunates-not prisoners, unfortunates
in the truest acceptance of the term,
for all four are bereft of reason and
are candidates for admission into the
State asylums for the insane.
The picture here shown has its
bright as well as its dark side.
The parish Of Tensas, with local
option and high license, under strict
police surveillance, had not a single
disturbance of the peace in all the
Christmas festivities, and to-day the
parish Jail does not contain single
offender, unlike our two sister cities
of Vicksburg and Natchez, where
prohibition that does not prohibit,
is the order Of the day. This is the
bright side. The dark side is seen
in the sad commentary rejecting on
the unwise policy of our State Leg
islature in not making more liberal
appropriations for the care of the
States insane. For months some
Of these unfortunates have Ian
guished in confinement, happily
provided with such comforts as can
be afforded by modern Jail, being
considered a menace TO life and
property when at large. Application
has been made repeatedly to the
State insane asylums for their ac-
commodation, but again and again
comes the reply, mo vacant ward. I"
The asylums are congested and room
for new patients can be made only
by recovery or death Of present in
mates, and unhappily the first too
infrequently happens, while the lat
ter, as welcome relief to this per-
haps the greatest of earthly woes,
is often tardy in its coming.

Benoist Clothing Co., the popular
clothiers of Natchez, for a calendar
showing a splendid likeness of the
old Masonic Temple that stood for
so many years as a landmark of
that city at the corner of Main and
Union streets, which later gave
place to the Temple Opera House
of unhappy memory. For some
years it has been the policy of the
Benoist Clothing Co. to annually
present in calendars likenesses of
ante bellum homes in Natchez and
Adams county, and those who pre-
serve these views will in time have
an excellent collection of memoirs
of the past that are fondly recalled
by old residenters.
