METHOD FOF CURING HAMS
That Used by A. L. Barron of Clarcn.
don County Said to BE Highly Salts
factory.

The time for killing hogs is rapidly
approaching and many farmers who
have raised hogs in the past have had
trouble in keeping their hams. The
following method of curing hams is
that used by Mr.. a. 1. Barron Of Man.
ming, Clerk Of Court of Clarendon
County, who has had remarkable sue
cess In curing his hams, which are
widely known for their delightful
flavor. Mr.. Barrons recipe is diff
ferent from others in that he advises
pinch Of saltpetre next the bone
and in that he advises that the ham
be hung with the hook down, which.
he says. prevents the juices from es-
Gaping. His recipe is as follows:
1. Spread hams out on pine nee
dles-with a little salt over them, if
weather be warm, leave a day until
thoroughly cold.
2. Rub with salt thoroughly-Liv-
erpool salt coarse.
3. Punch down beside bone and
put pinch of salt-petre.
4. Pack down in salt with meat
side up.
8. Leave in salt about four weeks.
6. Wash off with tepid water and
hang up to dry, hook down.
z. Leave several weeks for a good
cold windy day, so that there will be
no flies. In case weather is warm
smoke little with hickory bark or
dried hickory wood. A little will do
good. but would not smoke too much.
Dip in boiling water for about one
minute, lay out to dry.
8. Apply following mixture: sc
borax, quart syrup, thicken to paste
with black pepper. May sprinkle
with little red pepper. Hang with
hook down.

decided to have two or three stations
Tor each bull. The one now located at
Stateburg, will be altcrnated between
this section. and the Rembert and Ha-

Concord will probably be carried over
toward Shiloh for part OF the year.
This makes half dozen registered

There Is no question but that the
boil weevil will be here in a few years
and If we are still struggling with
fertilizer problems as we are today
there will be no hope for us. We shall
have to go through a state Of poverty
and great deal Of the land will
change hands, which is not at all de-
sirable. While on the other hand if
we are properly fortified with live
stock, we shall not suffer any serious
consequences. The live stock indus
try is the only substitute for the cost
| ly practice of using large quantities of
commercial fertilizer.

AS soon as these routes are developed

creamery Of our own. 1t takes from
four to six hundred contributing
COWS to make q creamery a success
At present we shall have difficulty in
mastering q hundred. These creamery
routes are very popular in the upper
part OF the State. where the cream is
shipped into the Clemson College
Creamery for manufacturing. These
! checks coming in every week or twice
q month help so much to keep the
farm expenses down. Prof. w. w.
Long is very much interested in de-
vclopinS either some dairy or beef
cattle upon every farm in the state,
because without these fertilizer fac
tories we cannot hope to build up
our soil to that state of fertility which
makes for prosperous and contcnted
people. Anyone in the county who
has any cows and would like to dis
pose of some cream, please communi-
cate with me.

Some weeks ago the announcement
was made that a campaign for the

happened to the plan?
Mr. Bryan's attitude in respect to
improving the army and navy TO q
point OF efficiency is similar TO that of
the man who is opposed to carrying a

ahtagonism to a serviceable military
organization Is inconsistent unless ne

serious than is apparent on the sur

HOUSE COLLECTION
 FOR OLD METAL
School Children in Vienna Doing
 the Work

Vienna, July 15.-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)--A house to house collection is being made in Vienna for old metal for war pur- poses. The collecting work is being done by school children. The mili- tary authorities and the munition manufactories are running short of copper, brass, tin, nickel and other metals, and the public is appealed to for all kinds of worn out and broken household wares of these materials. The Patriotic War Metals Collecting Fund has established storerooms with show windows in which are displayed specimens of articles desired, such as brass candlesticks, bronze figures, cop- per moulds, saucepans and metal plates and dishes. Some 300,000 pounds of stuff is being brought in daily
 Emperor Francis Joseph has direct ed that about eight tons of old metal articles of the most miscellaneous character should be sent from the Hofburg and the palace at Schoen- brunn, and an archaelogist is sending large quantity of Roman lead. exca-

 This place Is most interesting just now, with it's prosperous garrison of French troops chasseurs d'Afrique on their superb Arab horses, Senegal csc infantry as black as my hat. and Frenchmen in their blue tunics and red trousers The senegalese have odd little tents dotting a whole hillside each eight feet long, four feet wide, and only two feet high. in the mid dle Of which six men sleep. During the day they lift one side ID and make a sort of awning of it, under which they sit. The officers are all Fsrenchmen, of course, some dark haired men from the South, some fair. not yet sunbnrned.
 Then there are ordisary French soldiers in their new khaki and Aus tralians, big men, loose-limbed, rid ing cnrelessly rough-coated horses, looking all the time as if they might easily fall off Too numerous to de- scribe, there are British regulars, Territorials, Marines, Artillery, Avi- ators, Sappers.. Army Service Corps, Fed Cross, Greek soldiers and sail- ors, and peasants. Among the latter there is small proportion of wom- en, all wearing the native yashamg, . kind of double veil.
