Little favors that children will adore

made from pop corn. Have a dish of
hot thick sugar sirup ready and build up
little figures of the corn by dipping each
kernel in the strip. Use marshmallow
for the head, putting on the features
with melted chocolate. Make hat
using large chocolate peppermint for
the brin and round chocolate for the
crown; stick on the hat with the sirup.
Another impish figure is made by put
ting features on lollypop and sticking
it into shiny apple. Sticks of candy
make the arms and legs.

HONOURED MEAT.
How to Preserve Beef and Pork on the
Farm-Satisfactory Methods for General

How to Preserve Beef and Pork on the
Farm-Satisfactory Methods for General
Use.
Curing meats with brine is a good
method for farm use. 1t is less trouble
to pack the meat in a barrel and pour
brine over it than to 60 over it three or
four times and rub in salt. as in the dry
curing method. The brine also protects
the meat from insects and vermin. Brine
made of pure water and according to the
directions in the following recipes should
keep reasonable length of time. Dur
ing warm weather, however, brine should
be watched closely, and if it becomes
'ropy," like strip, it should be boiled or
new brine made. A cool, moist cellar is
the best place for brine curing.
Pure water, salt, sugar or molasses,
ana saltpeter are all the ingredients
needed for the ordinary curing of meat.
The meat may be packed in large earthen
Jars or clean hardwood barrel The
barrel or jar may be used repeatedly un-
less meat has spoiled in it. 1t should be
scslded thoroughly, however, each time
before fresh meat is packed.
Curing should begin as soon as the
meat is cooled and while it is still fresh.
Ordinarily "a to Sc hours after slaughter
are sufficient for cooling, Frozen meat
should not be sailed, as the frost pre-
vents proper penetration of the salt and
uneven curing results.
Recipes for Curing.
Corned Beef.-The pieces commonly
used for corning are the plate, rump,
cross ribs and brisket, or, in other words,
the cheaper cuts of meat. The loin, ribs,
and other fancy cuts are more often used
fresh. The pieces for corning should be
cut into convenient-sized joints, say, or
inches square. 1t should be the aim to
cut them all about the same thickness so
that they will make an even layer in the
barrel
Meat from fat animals makes choicer
corned beef than from poor animals
When the meat is cooled thoroughly it
should be corned as soon as possible, as
any decay In the meat is likely to spoil
the brine during the corning process.
Under no circumstances should the meat
be brined while it is frozen. Weigh out
the meat and allow pounds of salt to
each 100 pounds; sprinkle layer of salt
one-quarter of an inch in depth over the
bottom of the barrel; pack in as closely
as possible the cuts of meat, making a
layer 5 or 6 inches in thickness; then put
on layer of salt, following that with
another layer of meat; repeat until the
meat and salt have all been packed in the
barrel, care being used to reserve salt
enough for a good layer over the top.
After the package has stood over night
add, for every 100 pounds of meat,
4 pounds of sugar, and ounces of salt
peter dissolved in gallon of tepid water.
Three gallons more of water should be
sufficient to cover this quantity. In case

by their fruits We shall know

ernor of New York he did not pay
political debts by filling the public
offices with unfit men. He did not
champion certain principles during his
campaign and repudate them after
he entered office. AS Governor he
did not resort to brave and beautiful
words as a substitute for firm and con-
sistent deeds. He was careful in his
use of words but he backed his words
with deeds. He did not promise what
he could not perform. He did not
plaster the people with compliments
they did not deserve. He was not a
rhetorician. he was not f1atterer, he
was not ''too proud to fight for labor
or for capital, for the strong or the
weak, when the right was on their
side
Mr.. Wilson's spokesman seek to d.
vert attention from the attacks Mr..
Hughes is making upon the record Of

more or less than lUU pounds of meat is
to be corned, make the brine in the pro.
portion given. A loose board cover.
weighted down with a heavy stone or
piece of iron, should be put on the meat
to keep all of it under the brine. In case
any should project, rust would start and
the brine would spoil in short time.
1t is not necessary to boil the brine ex-
cept in warm weather. If the meat has
been corned during the winter and must
be kept into the summer season, it would
be we'll to watch the brine closely during
the spring, as it is more likely to spoil
at that time than at any other season.
If the brine appears to be ropy or does
not drip freely from the finger when
immersed and lifted it should be turned
off and new brine added after carefully
washing the meat. The sugar or mo-
lasses in the brine has tendency to fer
ment, and, unless the brine is kept in
cool place, there is sometimes trouble
from this source. The meat should be
kept in the brine % to 40 days to secure
thorough corning.
Dried eef.-The round commonly is
used for dried beef, the inside of the
thigh being considered the choicest piece,
as it is slightly more tender than the out
cut lengthwise of the grain of the meat
in preparing for dried beef, so that the
muscle fibers may be cut crosswise when
the dried beef is sliced for table use. A
tight jar or cask is necessary for curing.
The process is as follows: To each loo
pounds of meat weigh ont pounds of
salt, 3 pounds of granulated sugar, and
2 ounces of saltpeter; mix thoroughly to-
gether. Rub the meat on all surfaces
with third of the mixture and pack it
In the jar as tightly as possible. Allow
it to remain three days, when it should
be removed and rubbed again with an
other third of the mixture In repack-
ing, put at the bottom the pieces that
were on top the first time. Let stand
for three days, when they should be re-
moved and rubbed with the remaining
third of the mixture and allowed to stand
for three days more. The meat is then
ready to be removed from the pickle.
The liquid forming in the jars should not
be removed, but the meat should be re-
packed in the liquid each time. After
being removed from the pickle the meat
should be smoked and hung in dry attic
or near the kitchen fire where the water
will evaporate from it. 1t may be used
at any time after smoking, although the
longer it hangs in the dry atmosphere
the drier it will get. The drier the eli
mate, in general, the more easily meats
can be dried. In arid regions good dried
meat can be made by exposing it fresh
to the air, with protection from flies.
