Home Cured Meats Mould in
Damp Weather.

A Missouri housewife recently
wrote to the College Of Agricul-
ture at Columbia making the
following inquiry:
II would appreciate very
much any advice you can give
me on what is the best thing I
can do to keep our summer
hams. We kept them in salt un-
til thoroughly sailed and then
hung them to up to dry and
smoked. Now they are mould,
ing"
p. f. Trowbridge of the De-
|partment Of Agricultural Chem
istry in replying said: "It
should be emphasized that
mould does not spoil cured
meat. Some persons in securing
country cured hams insist that
the mould shall be left on as a
proof that the meat is genuine
country cured meat. Some re-
cmmend dipping the meat in
boiling hot water to stop the
molding. This IS only temper
airy. as the moll will start to
grow again if the damn wealth
err continues"
In prolonged seasons of wet
n,llygv weather cured meats are
certain to mill. This mnldlng
eli cured meat can b" checked Gv
han cling the meat where there IS
a good circulation of air. Cured
meats should never be hung in
damp basement. If. the smoke
house is tight enough to keep
out the skipper fly so that the
meat is left hanging in the
smoke house a smudge built ev-
cry week during damp weather
helps keep down the mold.
Stacking of meat does not stop
the molding. If meats are
wrapped tight to keep out the
shippers the wrapping should
be done first with cloth and then
with paper. If. paper used first
after it molds. We find it a
very good practice to encase the
meat in. paper flour sack, ty-
ing the neck of the sack very
tightly around the string by
which the meat hangs. The
meat is then hung SO that the
pieces do not touch each other.
Molding is reduced to mini
mum and the meat is protected
from shippers.

Good Use for Beer Kegs.

Over in Kansas some ofthe
farmers are using beer kegs to
good advantage by putting them
under their binders as means
Of locomotion and to keep the
heavy machinery from miring
down. Holes in the ends Of the
kegs admit galvanized pipe for
an axle and the devise is at
tached to the binder so as to
bear most of the weight. Many
people will be glad to- know that
something good can come from
beer kegs. after all.-Appleton

PLANTATION SOLD.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Feb. 8. = Walter
Wade has sold his plantation to Mr..
Rhody, of Tulsa, Okla. The price paid
was not made public, but it runs up in
the thousands. The plantation con-
tains 1918 acres, and is located five
miles west of this place near old Gal
latin. Mr.. Rhody will convert a part
of the place into a stock farm, and the
remainder Of the open land will be
planted in grain. Several other real
estate deals have been made during
the week. One of the largest land
deals is on for next week, and If con.
summated, will eclipse any that has
taken place here in some time.
Hazlehurst shipped a car of corn, a
car of peas and sixty-five head of hogs
Saturday, besides nearly a car of cot
ton. There have been a good many
cars OF corn, sweet potatoes, hogs, cat
tie and molasses shipped from here
during the fall and winter more than
has at any time since the advent O!
the boil weevil. Farmers in this sec.
tion are beginning to realize that they
can make living at home without
planting much cotton. There is more
corn and hogs and potatoes and chick
ems and eggs in Copiah county than
for long time.
Judging from the amount of seeds
being sold by the merchants of this
place, there will be considerable in.
crease in the vegetable acreage here
this season. There has been something
over $4O0 spent for cold frames. and
the farmers have bought heavily Of
the specially prepared fertilizers for
use in planting tomatoes. Indications
are that the farmers will pay more
attention to vegetables this season
than ever before. Especially is this
the case near here.

EXPERT NOT WANTED.

Hazlehurst, Miss, Feb. "a peti
tion from the citizens and taxpayers u
district Two was presented to the Sn
pervisors Of Copiah county here this
evening, asking the board to rescin 1
its action at the January meeting as to
the employing of civil engineer to
examine the gravel roads in District
Two. The examination was to deter
mine whether the roads were up -
specifications.
Some time ago, some of the taxpay
ers of the district asked that civil
engineer be appointed to examine the
roads and report in detail. The board
employed an engineer. and agreed III
pay him out of the road fund of Drs
trict Two, the commissioners refuse to
pay the engineer in case the work Is
done. The board Is powerless under
the law of the state to pay the engi-
see fit to order the engineer paid from
the road fund.
The commissioners contend that to
employ an expert civil engineer when
they already have two, would be an
unnecessary expenditure.
District Attorney H. V. Wall advised
the board to employ this civil engi.
neer, and he is asked to appear before
the Board of Supervisors Thursday.
Just what action will then be taken
is conjecture.
