Was boiling to death ever legal mode of execution for cririnaIs7
 It was once in England for counter feiting and later for committing nur- der by poisoning An act of parlia ment passed in 1531 provided that con. victed poiseDerss should be boiled to death. though this form of punish ment was not applied to any other class of murderers. The law was in force about fifteen years, and under it three persons were boiled to death, one n cook, who put poison in food intended for the parish poor, and another maid who poisoned her mistress. A Dublin paper of Feb. -28 17O9, said that twelve coiners (counterfeiters) were seized in the act of coining and, having been tried and found guilty, were four hours afterward boiled in oil, three of them women"

METHOD FOR CURING MEATS
Animals Should Be Killed Early In
Morning, Allowing Carcass to
Hang All Day 70 Cool.

(By WILLIAM HART HARRIsON.)
Al butchering time is at hand and
since we have the reputation of hav-
ing the best hams in our neighbor-
hood, our methods may be Of some
benefit to those interested in the
curing Of this meat.
We always kill the hogs early in the
morning, allowing them to hang on
the pole all day 30 a. to get thorough
~ cooled, a. more meat is spoiled by
being cut out and sailed before It IL
thoroughly cold to the bone than from
any other cause.
The day after killing, also early in
the morning. cut out and salt up. I
say early, that the women folk may
have the best portion Of the day for
securing the lard, - It is quite a job
for them when Z farmer kills eight
or ten flne hogs.
Before sailing, sprinkle saltpeter on
the hams and shoulders, then rub in
the salt, thoroughly, cover. with it and
pack the meat in a box. Let it stay
In this condition for from six to eight
weeks, according to the size Of the
meat, when it should be taken out,
washed, hung up and smoked.
Wash nicely in q tub of hot water,
using rough rag to take OF all the
old salt and mold. When the water
becomes too greasy, throw it out and
put in clean.
AS soon as the piece is washed the
helper stands ready to take it, sprink-
ling lightly with borax, which keeps
it from getting "skippery." Then it
is covered with all the black pepper
that will stick, when it is hung up
ready for smoking.
Always allow it to drip a day or
two. Try and smoke it before the
weather gets too warm. as it is likely
to get over-heated il hung anywhere
near the fire.
Never use pine wood in smoking
meat. Many use green hickory. but l
always use wet, rotten oak wood. This
smokes freely and does not burn rap
idly nor make q hot fire, and I con-
slider it best for the purpose.

Now place your sweep on top of

you are ready to hook fast to 500
pound hog. Lift him on to the table,
shorten your chain again, lift him over
the scalding tub and dangle him up
and down as much as you choose.
Having hoisted the hog clear of
scalding table you can swing him
around to hang on any arm.

ROOT Crops FOR DAIRY cow
Turnips and Other Like Root veoeta-
b3es Make Fine Milk Producing
feed-Add to Variety.

No matter what some people tell
you. turnips and other roots make
fine milk-prodncdng feed. Turnips
will not affect the flavor of milk, If
fed at the right time.
If turnips are fed in large quanti-
ties and two or three hours before
milking, they are likely to give the
milk an unpleasant taste, but If fed
directly after milking. no flavor
whatever will be noticed.
A peck Of turnips to each animal
per day is sufficient in most cases.
A good plan is to feed directly after
hay in the early morning, and once a
day is often eonugh.
A little salt scattered over the tur-
nips, which should be chopped in
quarters or smaller, add to their
palatability.
Roots make very valuable addition
to the winter ration, because they
add to the variety of the feed, and no
animal on the farm appreciates va
riety more than the dairy COW.
In Wisconsin, Iowa and other
western dairy states the root crop
is becoming a very important part of
the crop of the farm.

PROPER CARING FOR HORSES
Comfortably Bedded Stall Is Great
Boon for Tired AnimaI-Should

The proper caring for farm horses

heavy horses for work which could
more easily be done by horses Of
lighter weight.
The horse which is not suited for
Its task is 30 heavily handicapped that

in a dry, light, well ventilated shelter
which protects the animal from heat
in summer and from cold in winter,
may interfere with the horses great
est usefulness.
A comfortably bedded stall is a
great boon to the tired horse, and
such a bed should be supplied as will
encourage the horse to lie down du-
ring much OF the night. Wet bedding,
uneven stAn floors and extremely mar.
row stalls are circumstances that too
often Interfere with the comfort of

DECOY HIVES MADE. USEFUL
Will Prove Paying Proposition Whers
Timber 10 Scarce and Bees Seek
New Location.

In a country where big timber Is
plentiful decoy hives will stand a poor
chance OF catching anything, but
where timber is small and scarce and
bees are consequently hard up for a
place to locate, decoy hives will prove
a paying proposition. As there is
nothing about them but what any
farmer can easily arrange, there is NO
reason why the man living in such a
place should not be supplied with bees.
All there is to do is to get some hives
ftted up with frames of foundation
and one frame of old comb and fasten

GettInq Seed Grain Early.

Do not wait until spring to clean
and grade your seed grain. Do it now.
while you have plenty Of grain at
hand from which to select. The best
twenty-five bushels Of grain out of a
hundred bushels are worth much
more for seed than is the grain that
can be cleaned from much smaller
amount in the spring. The cost of
thus cleaning and grading the grain
is very slight, and it enables one to
have heavy. plump seed grain at very
little outlay.

THE BANKS
OF CANADA

1ue CLOSING OF the year 1S1Z mas
brought out the usual bank statements
accompanied by the addresses Of the
Presidents and General Managers Of
these institutions. Their reading IL
interesting as they show in . striking
manner the prosperity Of the country.
and deal with economic matters In
first hand way. Those who know any.
thing Of Canadian banking methods
know the stability Of these. institu-
tons, and the high character Of the
men who are placed in charge. In
discussing the land situation the Pres.
ident Of the Union Bank Of Canada.
whose branches are to be found in ill
parts Of the Canadian West, said:-
"A good deal has been said about
speculation In land. The increase in
land values has added enormously to
the assets of Western business, and
has to some extent formed basis for
extended credit, but this IL not felt to
be drawback when the value Is real
and convertible. We consider that a
business standing which IL strength
ened and enhanced by property hold
ings is entitled to reasonable en-
largement of credit for legitimate bust
ness operations"
It will thus be seen that the banks
recognize the certain rise in the value
of farm lands in Western Canada.
When the facts are known Of the won
derful producing qualities of farm
lands in the Provinces of Manitoba,
Saskatchewan and Alberta, 1t Is sim
pie to understand the liberal stand
taken by the banks.
Living not far from Lashburn, Sask.,
Is farmer named Clarke who in 1912
secured a crop of Marquis Wheat,
yielding Is bushels per acre. This
is spoken of as a record yield, and this
is doubtless true, but several cases
have been brought to notice where
yields almost as large have been pro-
duced, and in different parts of the
country. During the past year there
have been reported many yields OF
from IS to As bushels of wheat to the
acre. Oats, too. were a success
full crop. and SO was the barley
crop. Wheat that would yield 40
bushels per acre, would bring on the
market zoe Ia fair figure) per bushel,
= gross return of $500 per acre., AL
low $4,000 per acre ian outside figure)
there would be balance Of $1,000 per
acre net profit. This figure should
satisfy anyone having land that cost
less than $4,000 per acre. Very much
less return than this proves satisfac'
tory to those holding lands in Iowa
and Illinois worth from $3.50 to 5000
per acre.
The latest Government returns gave
an approximate estimate of four hun
dred thousand of an immigration to
Canada during 1912. OF this number
100000 will be from the United States.
Most of these are of the farming class
and it is not difficult to understand
why farming lands in Canada Will ad-
vance from ten to twenty per cent
within the next twelve months. There
fore investment in Western Canadian
lands is not looked upon as being in
the speculative class. Those fortunate
enough to secure free h0fnesteads In
Canada will acquire in the intrinsic
value Of the land alone the best pos
sible start for splendid future. Ad-
vertisement.

The Smile.

The girl who smiles too much
makes as great mistake as she who
smiles too little, for though she may
be only actuated by an honest desire
to please, she lays herself open to the
charge of insincerity. A smile can
transform plain face into lowell
ness, but 1t only does this when it is
the outcome of some special emotion,
and not mere aimless parting of the
lips. Smiling 70 ORDER" or on any
and every occasion, is fatal to charm,
and should be carefully avoided.

There are very few instances when

are not taking too good care of them.
