METHODS THAT ARE NOVEL
ses. Way of Cooking Ham-Susses-
tion for Improving the Flavor
Of Pickles, Etc.

Before cooking ham. take on q
thin shaving" also the rind. and see
how much nicer favored your ham
will be.
To clean black chip hats. rubbing
with sweet oil is an excellent way:
but be careful not to use too much,
and then rub with a piece of black
velvet till all the oil Is removed.
All pickles should be kept at least
one month before opening the jars
for use. by opening them sooner they
lose much of the delightful flavor
which would otherwise be theirs.
Paste labels on the inside of glass
jars used to hold food supplies. such
as rice. tapioca. spices. etc. Thus la
beled. the jar can be washed without
soiling the label or pulling it of.
The best way to warm up a joint Is
to wrap 1t in thickly creased paper
and keep it covered while In the oven.
BY having it covered the steam will
prevent the meat from becoming hard
and dry.
Fold a piece of emery paper in the
center and draw the knife rapidly
back and forth several times. turning
II from side to side. This Is an ex'
cellent sharpener for pairing knives.

BOAR NEEDS GOOD ATTENTION
Pasture Not Only Saves Feed But Will
Also Prove Excellent Conditioner
Don't Overfeed.

The boar needs pasture as well as
do the other hogs or the other stock.
Pasture will not only save feed but
will also be n good conditioner. IL
you keep a boar in a small pen, it is
always muddy or dusty and then if he
is poorly fed in this pen he cannot do
his best, and the pigs will be disap-
pointmcnt, On the other hand. the
boar can be fed too much. but the
trouble IS usually that he doesn't get
enough
IL is often thought that the boar is
simply n bill of expense and that he
does not need much feed. such being
the case, he is fed little just because
he must be kept alive. but this feed
/. is the scantiest amount that can be
given and the handiest feed-nearly
always Just a few ears of corn. He
needs something stronger than ear
corn. u may cost a little more, but
will prove money well spent. The
feed should be rich in proteids. which
would call for shorts. tankaEe. oil
meal, cowpeas. clover. alfalfa and such
feeds, according to Roy Coleman in
the Farmers Review. When fed on
such ration he can produce larger
litters and stronger pigs than when
poorly fed.
The young bear should not be fed
too heavily. II he is overfed it will
make him so down in the feet. II will
also cause him to wrinkle more when
he becomes old. II is hard to grow
prize pig into prize boar. But II
he has not been overdone as a pig he
can be made to develop into a good.

BUILDING ROADS II! FRANCE
Rational Thoroughf1rcs, Maintained
Entirely by Government. Are Con-
structsd - Feet Wide.

France admittedly has the best
roads system so far devised. and its
national reads constitute about ga
per cent. of the 365. coo miles in the
whole country.
The national roads. maintained en-
tirely by the government. are con-

aud lead from the capital TO the prin-
cipal cities, ports and commercial
centers. and between the principal
cities. With the departmental or state
roads. and commercial roads of differ
ent classes, the national government
has nothing TO do except TO deter
mine their width. which is fixed by
general laws according TO their classi-
fication.
The United States has two and a
half times the population of
France. and about six times the road
milage. To balance this difference, =
series of national roads which would
connect our capitals and principal
cities would duly amount 10 about 2A
per cent. of the 100000 miles of
roads in this country as compared
with the 6Is per cent. in France, bring
ing the mileage of national roads per
person in the United States about the
same as in France.
With our enormous resources await
ing development by the extension OF
our road systems. there seems no rea-
son why we should not proceed with
the work of building national roads,
writes Lewis II. Speare in the Illinois
Farmer. National roads building did
not ruin France: il made France
great
The idea of building up a political
machine out of road construction
bureau does not deserve considera-
ton. In all of the important govern
mental work being carried on 1t
seems the policy of all parties to see
that il is conducted economically and
honestly. whatever party chances TO
be in power. A fair instance of that
is the valuation OF the railroads of the

hi. Fornard Bordas. a leading
French engineer. writing for the third
international road congress. now in
session in London, says: The national
roads, which connect the capital to
the frontiers and TO the large towns
or else form q connecting link be
tween the more densely populated
centers, are of the greatest interest
to the country as a whole, not only
from an economic point of view but
also from a strategic one. as assuring
communications between points al
long distances apart. Ii is therefore
essential that their general trend. gen
eral plan, ard width. should be settled
unfettered by local influences"
This is the idea that the A. A. A
National Coed Roads board have

Where the Money Goes.

Ohio State Journal: American
farms produce about $9,OOO,OOO,OOO
annually. 1t costs $1,000, 100000 more
to get these products to the consum-
err. 1t is the tremendous difference
between these figures that places such
burden upon the people. This par
agraph is from speech by Senator
Gore at the Philadelphia Corn Show
recently. Think of that-paying 81
to get So worth of farm stuff to you
There ought to be a cheaper route
between the producer and consumer,
for then the farmer might get more
for his crop and the latter more for
his money. Another thing the sena-
tor said that ought to crack into the
American brain like meteor, and
that was that this nation paid annu-
ally $250,000,000 for the army and
navy and only $17,OO0,0O0 for agri-
culture, and he further remarked, if
these figures were reversed, the ex-
penditure would bring great prosper
ity. Why aren't they reversed? The
people would like to have it so; but
they sit, stupid and confused, while
, the politicians, the armor plate, the
social function, the naval expert and
the rampant jingoes ride all over
them. Never vote for a man who is
not in favor of transposing these fig
ures.
