The art OF making good, sweet hams
properly balanced with, fat and lean
and cured to 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 175 pounds
These men bred the long lean ami
mails which were fattened on mash
and clover, because not 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 175-pound hog at Christ
mas time when, they can just as well
bring him up to 300 pounds To them
all hog meat looks alike
A 3OO-pOund hog does not make good
hams. They are coarse and contain a
large amount of fat which the packers
trim off in order to bring the size down
to make them look like hams from a
small hog
People want hams from hogs that
weight from 1875 to $50 pounds, and
they cannot be deceived by hams from
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 a ham
cured in the average packing house
IS anything but ideal food
The small or middle-sized Berkshire
makes a good ham, although there is
a tendency to fat. The ideal ham hog
is. in our opinion, the Tamworth. lie
Is glutton for protein foods, al

THE DOG.

I've never known a dog to Wag
His tail in glee he didn't feel,
Nor quit his old-time friend, to tag
At some more influential heel
The yelolwest cur | ever knew
Was, to the boy who olved him,
true.
Eve never known a dog to show
Halfway devotion to his friend;
To seek kinder man to know,
Or richer, but unto the end
The humblest dog l ever knew
Was, to the man who loved him,
I've never known a dog to fake
Affection for a present gain
A false display of love to make,
Some little favor to attain.
I've never known a Prince or Spot
That seemed to be what he was
not
But | have known a dog to fight
With all his strength to shield
friend
And, whether wrong or whether right
To stick with him until the end
And | have known a dog to lick
The hand of him that men would
kick.
And / have known a dog to bear
Starvation's pangs from day to
day
With him who had been glad to share
His bread and meat along the way
No dog, however meano rude,
Is guilty of ingratitude
The dog is listed with the dumb.
No voice he abs to speak his creed
His messages to humans come
By faithful conduct: and by deed
lie shows, as seldom mortals do,
A high ideal of being true

No doubt they enjoyed il. There
are love stories. dialogues, political
papers and other interesting docu-
ments including rules of behavior.
1t has been quite an experience.
almost as if we had visited a great
grandfather, reading this venerable
little textbook. And dear little
Fanny Leonard, its owner, could not
spell words of one syllable although
she was studying this pretentious
omnibus of book
Its motto was, this patriotic ad /.
vice from the French orator and
statesman, Mirabean: Begin with
the infant in his cradle: Let the
first word he lisps be Washington"
The owner of the book is a d. A.
r, and a very cultured. interesting
and lovable lady to whom we return
sincere thanks for the instruction We
have received.

A BOOK BY NOAH WEBSTER,
JUNIOR ESQUIRE,

A Marietta lady recently loaned
us book in which she had read
some interesting facts about the
early history of Georgia. The facts
we may have heard before but it was
news to us that Noah Wehster's son
had been an author.
This book-a sixth edition-is the
third volume of AN American Selec-
ton of Lessons in Reading and
Speaking, calculated to improve the
Minds and refine the Taste of
Youth. Also to instruct them in the
Geography, History and Politics of
the United States. To which are pre-
fixed rules in Elocution and Direc-
lions for expressing the principal
Passion of the Mind"
The title proper at the end of
above is "A Grammatical Institute
of the English Language"
1t is a small volume bound in
leather and wood as thin as card
board and printed in Newport, R. l.,
by Peter Edes in 1887.
The book has the name Clarissa
Leonard on the fly leaf but under it
written Fanny Leonard's Book.
Steal not this book for fear of
shame
For hear you see the owners
name"
The old-fashioned in place of g
except at the end of words is used.
This is the first paragraph on Geor-
gia: The most southern of the
United States. 1t is bounded by the
river Savannah, which divides 1T
from South Carolina on the north;
by the ocean on the east; by the
river st. Marys, which divides It
from the Floridas on the south and by
the Mississippi on the west Sa-
vannah, it's principal town, is situat-
ed on river of that name, seventeen
miles from the sea and contains
about two hundred houses
At that time Augusta was the
capital city and the chief exports
were lumber, rice, indigo and to-
bacco. 1t was also an excellent
grazing country.
This is news about Vermont: 1t
was claimed by New Hampshire and
New York before the revolution but
during that war it formed a constitu-
ton of civil government and exercis-
ed all the powers of an independent
sovereign state, conducted it's mill
tary operations Independent of the
United States, raised and paid all its
own troops-emitted and redeemed
bills of credit, and paid it's own
debts.
The little volume is 1913 years old
and was a text book of two sisters.

AN EASTER LUNCHEON.

Mrs. W. A. DuPre gave a luncheon
Saturday for few friends that was
ideal in its beauty. Her guests were
Mesdames John P. Cheney, M. D.
Hodges, John H. Boston, Charlie
Granting and Misses Corinne Ger
dine, Blanche Barnes and Lula Nc
Michael Mrs. DuPre was lovely in
violet taffeta silk yelled in green
chiffon.
The table had in the center a
mound of jonquils bordered with VIC
lets and around this a grassy space
in which tiny yellow chickens and
white rabbits played
Silver candle-sticks held green can
dies in yellow rosettes and at each
place was tiny market basket filled
with violet minis, with a bow of pur-
pie tulle on the handle. The place
cards had violets painted on them
and they were attached to the water
glasses. Violet tinted lemonade in
tall glasses, added to the decorative
effect which was carried out in the
delicious courses. First was grape
fruit, strewn with candied violets,
then bouillon with sliced lemons,
chicken with entrees and a gelatine
salad of oranges and Malaga grapes
moulded as oranges. The maple par
fat was strewn with crystalized vio-
lets and served with angel-food cake.
When the guests left the table each
one felt she could echo the sentiment
of the famous man who said: Fate
cannot harm me, have dined today"
