CURE HAMS AT HOME
MORE ECONOMICAL, AND THE
MEAT is BETTER.
Expert Tells of the Methods OF Prepa-
ration for Best ResuIts-"Sugar-
Cure" More Expensive, But
Better Than Salt Process.

CBy MRS W. c. HUTCHINSON
There is no other product of the
farm to which the owner points with
greater pride than to his abundance
of well cured hams, one Of the daily
essentials for the table, and If the
ham is we'll cured and well cooked
we certainly have one of the most
appetizing dishes which can be set
before us.
This edible need not be limited to
the farmer alone; those of the city
may enjoy, equally with him, by pur
chasing the slaughtered hogs, or hams
of the butchers, then, using a good
method of sugar curing.
1t is economy to those in the city
and a profit to the farmer should he
place his home-cured hams on the
market; there is always a ready sale
and they bring a much better price
than the packers meat or the ord1
nary salt ham.
Should we decide to market our own
homemade" "sugar-cured" hams
there would be a very great demand
for them. Each year we are compelled
to refuse a number Of would-be pur
chasers.
To all interested in the sugar-cured
method of preparing it, we give the
following recipe:
For 1000 pounds of meat, take
40 pounds of common salt, ten pounds
of Orleans sugar, four pounds black
pepper, three pounds saltpeter, hall
pound cayenne pepper Mix thorough
ly, then rub one-half of the mixture
on the meat, let it lie two weeks, and
then rub on the remainder, after which
let it lie four weeks, then hang and
smoke.
AS soon as the animal heat is out OF
the meat, apply first half, carefully
covering skin and flesh side alike, and
well over hook bone.
The extra expense over sailed meat
is small and think about equal to 9th
er methods of curing; the amount of la
Dor required for first application is
very little more than ordinary sailing
and for second, requires one man
about one hour. If you wish to cure
smaller quantities, time and labor will
be in proportion.
Do not think the quantity of the
preparation too small when mixed, for
although it may look SO, yet it Is an
abundance.
AS this is put on the meat, each
ham is placed separately upon a plat
form, there to await the second appli.
cation, when it is again placed for the
four weeks, after which we hang and
smoke for four days from wood fire,
not being partial to hickory wood.
By this time the meat is firm and
dry, and it is wrapped in newspapers
then placed in sacks made of denim
or other strong material and hung in
a cool dark place.
We have used this recipe for Is
years, have never had ham spoil
and have never tasted better hams.

DIDN'T KNOW THE COLONEL
Steward Thought Cigars Had Roose-

Must Be Good.

William H. Childs, a leader of the
Progressive party, has yacht called
Joyance. It was this yacht that went
out to meet Colonel Roosevelt when
he came back from Spain few weeks
ago. The other day Childs had anoth-
er guest aboard the Joyance. After
dinner the steward, recent recruit,
brought cigars. Guest and host helped
themselves and each lighted up.
"My goodness" said Childs as he
drew the first Whit, "where'd you get
these cigars?''
Il get 'em from de sto', sub"
What did you pay for them?"
Il give six cents apiece TO UNI, sub"
Childs tossed his weed over the side.
Didn't tell you to buy good cigars?'
he asked, disgustedly.
"Yassuh, you did, suh-you sholy
did. thought these was pretty good
cigars, sub. I give one to CunI Roose-
welt, sub, an he put it in his pocket"

HARD BUT NECESSARY RULES
Stringent Regulations for Consump-
tves Laid Down by the New Jer-
sey Board of Health.

Acting under law of 1912, the New
Jersey state board of health has Is
sued the following rules, which are to
be followed by all consumptives in
that state:
1. All persons suffering from pull
monary tuberculosis Consumption
shall effectively destroy their sputum
(spit).
2. All persons suffering from run
ming sores due to any form of tubercu-
losis shall burn all soiled dressings i'm
mediately after removal
3. The room occupied by tubercu-
losis patient shall have at least one
outside window
4. No person suffering from pull
monary or other communicable form
of tuberculosis shall handle food de,
signed for the use of others except
when necessary in the performance OF
household duties, unless the food be
wrapped in such way as to protect
1t from contamination or unless some
necessary subsequent process of prep
aration such as cooking will sterilize
it and prevent it's carrying infection
to the consumer
s.. The manufacturing of any kind
Of goods for commercial purposes OF
the performance of any work known
as shop work" in the home of any
person suffering from pulmonary OF
other communicable form of tubercu

SAVING TIME AND STRENGTH
Proper Planning of Household Duties
Will Do Away With Much Unnec-
essary Wear and Tear.

The housewife should carefully
study the conservation of her strength
and energy during the hot weather.
All the short cuts to housekeeping, as
we'll as the many little devices for
saving time and labor, should be care
fully considered. That is one OF the
best features of the modern house
keeping. 1t teaches the conservation
of energy, of training the head to save
the heels; the adding Of the element
Of inventiveness and scientific thought
to the problem of the home that will
save the wife and mother from I'M
necessary wear and tear:
Careful menu planning is one of the
means by which she may reduce her
labor-by emitting many dishes labor
iously made that are often served
from force of habit. The mother and
grandmother probably handed them
down as priced possessions, and 1t
seems almost a sacrilege to omit their
preparation, even though it means
hours over a hot stove.
= By substituting others of equal food
value, but which require less time and
labor in preparing, much time and
strength may be saved. A more care
full study of food values will soon en-
able even the busiest housewife to
do this.
The same reduction of labor may be
made in regard to clothing. There
are SO many fabrics on the market
that are equal in appearance if not
superior to garments made from those
that often require hours and hours of
the most arduous toll over the wash
tub or ironing board to make ready
for a few hours wear.
When the housewife studies the ele-
ments of the science of utility and
proportion that underlie even the COM
monest household task she will then
be guided more than ever by common
sense, which avoids unnecessary
work, worry or any Of the things that
rob woman Of her birthright of
pleasure and happiness and make her
look old before her time.

SAVING His Feelings.

When you begin to comment on the
physical characteristics of a mans

thing particularly effective, you some
times have to resort to figures OF
speech. This is particularly true when
you intend to express an idea that may
hurt your friends feelings.
