Think Lord Mersey VIII! Be
Asked to Preside Over Dis
aster inquiry.

MONTREAL, June 3.-The news
that Lord Mersey who presided over
the British inquiry into the loss of
the Titanic, is to be a member of the
royal commission appointed to in
vestigate the Empress of Ireland dis
aster, was received here with satis-
faction. AS Lord Mersey was presi-
dent of the Titanic court, 1t is as
sumed that he will be similarly
honored when the royal commission
meets here. The Canadian members
of the commission are Chief Justice
Ezekial Mcleod, of New Brunswick,
and Sir Adolphe Routhier, of Quebec.
The commission will be assisted by
two nautical assessors, a marine en-
gineer and naval architect. APP
pointments for these positions have
not yet been made. but 1t is under
stood the Canadian government has
In mind a number of men from whom
to choose.
Just when the commission can be-
gin it's work is still undetermined, but
ii will probably not be possible to
hold the first sittings for about ten
days. The sittings will be held either
at Montreal or Quebec.
QUEBEC, June 3.-The confusion as
to the number of persons who per-
ished in the Empress of Ireland dis
aster last week has been one of the
interesting features of the tragedy,
and today the uncertainty was fur
ther emphasized, when figures. de-
clared by the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way Steamship Company to be offi-
ciai, raised the death list to 1,024
from 969 on Sunday night-fifty- five
more.
Americans whose bodies have been
brought here: Mrs. George c. Rich
ards, Terre Haute, Ind; Rudolph
Bach, Rochester, Mimi; Miss L. IL.

How to Butcher at Home
The Farmer Who Has No Place for Artificial
Cooling Of Meat Must Depend on the Weather
Trowbdg Agricultural Chemistry University

Forty pounds clean fine salt,-'10
pounds graduated sugar Tor light
brown sugar., four pounds black pep
per, three pounds saltpeter, >ehe-half
pound cayenne pepper.
Mix these ingredients thoroughly
and rub thoroughly the well-cooled
pieces of meat, using about half the
mixture. Place the meat on a table,
box or bench in cool place, but do
not pack tightly in box or barrel.
Let the meat lie for 10 days to two
weeks; then rub on the remainder Of
the mixture. With small hams and
bacon the meat should be cured In a
month. Heavy hams should lie about
six weeks. Hang in the smokehouse
and smoke little each day for about
three weeks. Green hickory, maple
or apple wood is recommended. Do
not smoke too much. Meat that is to
be kept all summer or longer should
be more thoroughly smoked, and
should be well wrapped before flies

begin to bother in the spring.
If brine-cured pork is desired, the
following brine gives good results:
Water, four gallons; salt seven
pounds; sugar, five pounds; saltpeter,
one and onehalf ounces.
Boil the pickle so as to dissolve all
the ingredients and remove any scum
that may form. Sprinkle thin layer
of salt in the bottom OF the barrel.
Rub each piece Of well-chilled meat
with fine salt and pack tightly In the
barrel, putting the bacon pieces on
edge. Sprinkle a layer OF salt over
each layer of meat. Weight down thor
oughly and allow to stand over night.
Tip the barrel on the side to drain
off any liquid that has separated out.
Pour on the well-cooled brine and see
that it completely covers the meat. In
a week repack the meat, reversing the
layers. A 10-pound ham will cure in
about 30 days, 14-pound ham in As
days and a 16-pound ham in about so
days.
The meat should be repacked two
or three times and If growth forms
on the brine it should be boiled,
skinned and cooled before pouring
ON the meat again. When cured wash
off the meat with warm water, wipe
ami smoke as directed above.
