CURING MEAT FOR HOME USt
One of Essentials for Good Meat Is
Properly Designed Smokehouse-
1t Should Be FIreproof.

Why pay 25 cents a pound for
smoked meats when you can smoke
it for nothing with little hickory
or maple wood or few cobs? Not
many years ago when most farmers
knew how to butcher and cure meats
few of them were without a smoke
house and a meat storing room of
some kind, writes Leah Ruth Lippin-
colt in Farmers Mail and Breeze. The
development Of the centralized plant
or packing house has caused a great
majority of our farmers to lose the art
of nome curing. 1t will be profitable,
with the present high prices of cured
meat and market values Of live stock
to cure meat for home use or even the
local trade.
A properly designed smokehouse is
one of the essentials for good meat.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 11.-Ad
ministration officials are alarmed al
the possibility Of further loss in
revenue.
Some months ago certain trust
companies brought suit to recover
amounts paid by them under the
war tax law. Their example was fol
lowed by others, until at the present
time practically every dollar paid by
The trust companies under the war
tax law is involved in litigation.
The first of these cases is set for
trial before December 1. 1t is appar-
ent that the administration is by no
means confident of the integrity Of
he law Congress enacted, for addi-
donal counsel has been employed to
aid government attorneys in defend
ing the suits 1t is said thet unusually
large retainers have been paid on

f., cation could have been avoided. By
carelessly neglecting this elementary
principle, Congress virtually gave the
trust companies mortgage on all
the revenue they have paid, which
they may foreclose by judicial pro-
cedure.
A decision adverse to the govern
ment would be unusually embarrass-
ing at this time. In the first place,
it would mean a further shrinkage in
revenues directly due to Democratic
carelessness. The treasury deficit
long ago assumed ugly proportions,
and. additional leakages would be
damaging, both financially and polit-
ically.
Furthermore, it is proposed to i'm
mediately reenact the war tax law,
which automatically expires Decem-
Der 81, 1915. This places the admin
istration on the two horns of d.
lemma. If the paragraph by which
trust companies are taxed is amended
1t is confession of error. But if it
is reenacted without amendment and
the courts later decide against the
validity Of the law, large sum in
revenues will be lost

posed program of legislation for
defense that calls for the
highest degree of accuracy and eff
cheney in law making, and a fiscal
"olicy that will finance 1t. This mud
lie over the trust company tax is a
at illustration of complete Democrat

EXPERIMENT WITH HOG FEED
Obtained in Test Held at the
Wisconsin Station.

The relative value of potatoes and
corn as feed for hogs, obtained in a
test at the Wisconsin station, is given
as follows:
Four hundred pounds cornmeal fed
alone produced 100 pounds gain; 262
pounds cornmeal with 7S6 pounds Of
potatoes, weighed before cooking, pro-
duced the same number of pounds
gain.
Professor Henry who conducted the
experiments, says: From this we
learn that 1855 pounds Of potatoes
when fed to pigs after being cooked,
effected saving of 178 pounds OF
cornmeal, 442 pounds Of potatoes tax
ing the place of 100 pounds OF corn
meal"
Professor Henry in his book Feeds
and Feeding also says that the Cop
enhagen station found 400 pounds of
cooked potatoes equal to 100 pounds
of mixed grains for swine. Since
corn has somewhat higher feeding
value than the grains used in this test,
it is fair to say that As bushels eco
pounds each) of potatoes after cook
ing, are equal to one bushel (56
pounds) of corn in feeding pigs.

Washington through his ability to teach

The school gives special preparation
for all of the leading universities and
the faculty Is composed of men of abil-
ity. The tuition rates Of the school are
very reasonable, but the student gets
as much personal attention from the
teachers as he would in a school where
he would pay four or five times as much
tuition. The principal of the school per-
sonally directs all the work OF the
school, and helps with the teaching of
each pupil. The individual and class
plans OF instruction are combined in
such a way as to obtain the best re-
suits with the least waste of time and
energy. In this way the student be-
comes proficient in about one-fourth of
the time ordinarily consumed in school.

That Is the story in a paragraph of
the growth of the Henderson Business
School. now located at 1921 G street.

started out with one room and one
teacher. From the outset the school
was a success-and it is still growing.
The school from the outset intro
|duced a new idea in commercial train
ing-a plan whereby the student might
pay his way as he went along. Ar
rangements were made with public
spirited business men to pay the tut
tion Of students in return for the serv-
ices of those students while they were
finishing their courses
The plan was successful from two
standpoints. 1t permitted the student
to cease all worry about tuition. and
it also assured the student actual bus

fecting himself in chosen studies. The
students not only experienced actual
office work, but they were paid for it,
