(By c. 8. MILLER.)
The art of making good, sweet hams,
properly balanced with fat and lean
and cured to a turn is fast slipping
away from us here in America.
The old-time southern planters new
er bred hogs for fat and rarely cured
an animal for their own use that
weighed over IT'S pounds.
These men bred the long lean anil
mails which were fattened on mash
and clover, because not a great deal
OF corn is raised in the South; and
the result was an ideal ham-and-bacon
hog.
In the great corn belt farmers are
disposed to breed and feed for fat be-
cause they are not satisfied to send
to market a 175-pound hog at Christ
mas time when they can just as we'll
bring him up to 800 pounds. To them
all hog meat looks alike.
A 300-pound hog does not make good
hams. They are coarse and contain a
large amount of fat which the packers
trim of in order to bring the size down
to make them look like hams from
small hog.
People want hams from hogs that
weight from 1875 to $50 pounds, and
they cannot be deceived by hams from
a 300-pound hog with the fat trimmed
off.
The consumption of hams in this
country is steadily falling off for this
reason, and further, because q ham
cured in the average packing house
Is anything but ideal food.
The small or middle-sized Berkshire
makes good ham, although there is
a tendency to fat. The ideal ham hog
is, in our opinion, the Tamworth. He
is glutton for protein foods, al

TWO PLANS TO
SECURE PEACE
Sir Edward Gray Sounds the
Great Powers.
GERMANY is HOLDING AL00F
Conferences Going On In ST. Peters
burg To Bring About A Direct
Understanding Agreeable
To Germany.

London.-An engagement between
Austrians and Servians is reported to
have occurred on the Danube, but no
details are available, and it is not be-
lieved to have been of Importance. AS
far as the censorship permits 1t to be
known, Austria has not yet opened her
military operations.
Meanwhile, diplomacy is proceeding
with energy along two separate lines
to avert the war if possible, and if
that is impossible to localize the con-
fiict. First, Sir Edward Gray, the
British secretary of state for foreign
affairs, has proposed to the powers
a plan for joint mediation which, it
is said, France and Italy already have
accepted. Germany has not yet re-
piled and her acceptance is regarded
as doubtful.
Sir Edward Gray explained in the
House of Commons his idea, which
was that the four powers, Great
Britain, France, Germany and Italy,
cooperate in an endeavor to arrange
the dispute between Austria and Ser
via on the basis of Servia's reply to
the Austrian ultimatum. This reply
he regarded as the foundation on
which friendly and impartial powers
should be able to arrange an accept
able settlement.
Should the British Foreign Secre-
tary's efforts fail to avert war; it is
expected he will endeavor by some
means to prevent complications by
confning the hostilities to Austria and
Servia.
The second line of diplomatic en-
deavor from even more is hoped, is
taking place at st. Petersburg between

fairs, Serguis Sazonoff, and the
Austrian Ambassador. 1t is under.
stood that M. Sazonoff, is making a
strenuous effort to bring about a di

on these lines would be more agree
able to Germany than Great Britain's
conference proposals.
The Russian Emperor has postponed
his intended visit to Finland in order
to remain in the capital during the
crisis. 1t is said Russia is urging Ser
via to give Austria the fullest possible
satisfaction.
An extremely war-like spirit prevails
in Vienna, where the evening papers
declare that the Servians are only
making evasions and that therefore il

ment to retreat. Further, they hint
that even should Servia accept the
Austrian ultimatum Internationally
and offer to pay the cost of Austria s
mobilization, Austria now would be
compelled to ask for new guarantees.

though he can be spoiled by stufiing
him with corn. He thrives on clover,
and IL allowed to run in fields of
sweet peas, rape and alfalfa, produces
the sweetest and best balanced hog
meat that is known.
The Tamworth is particularly fond
of raw potatoes, pumpkins and roots
of all kinds to which the average type
of fat hog is not partial.
During the past few years a very
large trade in American hams has
sprung up in Europe, particularly Eng
land. The consumer over there de-
mands a small ham and our Amer
ican packers are endeavoring to edu-
cate farmers to the idea of curing
hogs that will average around 150
pounds. Matured hogs that will weigh
less are even more eagerly sought.
The truth is that our best hams are
sent to England; it is not an easy mat
ter TO obtain these small, we'll bal.
ance6 hams in this country, and we
are forced to take the big, fat hog
ham, with the trimmings, and hypno.
tiza ourselves into the belief that we
are eating the real thing, or let them
alone.
1t is not likely that the ideal small
ham will ever be produced in large
quantities in the corn belt, for the rea.
son above stated; we may expect the
best hogs of this type to come from
the South, where they feed less corn
and more peas and clover.
Some farmers down there are be-
coming rich, raising Tamworths and
small Berkshires for the express pur.
pose of producing the ideal hams, and
they obtain very high prices for this
type of hog.

DODDER is WORST
WEED In ALFALFA
Annual Parasitic Plant Starts
From Seed in Ground
Guard Against 1t.

W. s. Oswald Of the Minnesota ex
pertinent station says that in Western
states and in some of the European
countries, dodder is the worst weed
found in alfalfa fields. 1t is an annu-
al parasitic plant which starts from
the seed in the ground and develops
into a long, thread-like stem, winding
itself around the alfalfa plant and
sending parasitic roots or suckers into
the plant. 1t then lives on the nour-
ishment which should be used in de-
veloping the alfalfa plant
Dodder has not yet secured a strong
foothold In the alfalfa fields of this
state, probably because alfalfa has not
been raised for seed to any considera-
BILE extent. AS long as alfalfa is grown
only for hay, dodder should not be-
come very serious weed pest. How
ever, as alfalfa will probably be grown
more and more for seed each year, ex-
treme care should be taken to secure
seed which is free from dodder and
to avoid the introduction of dodder
into the states.
There are two dodder varieties COM
mon In alfalfa fields. The small-seed-
ed alfalfa dodder is not as bad as the
large-seeded variety, as the seed is
easily separated from that Of alfalfa
The seed of the large-seeded alfalfa
dodder is about the same size as al
falfa seed and 1t is almost impossible
to separate them.
