READY-TO-WEAR CLOTHING.
The Ready Made Clothing Business
Has Made Great Development.

The New York Times printed a
little article the other day on the
development of ready-to-wear cloth
ing. 1t told of the great changes in
that trade during recent years. The
difference, as one man puts it, is
trying to fit every man that comes
into the store, instead of merely try
ing to fit the average man.
1t is fortunate for the average
mans purse, that ready made cloth
ing has shown so much improve
ment. In primitive times the cloth
ing was cut and made up in each in
dividual home. Later there was d
period when women with some ex-
lperience as tailoresses turned out
clothes for a whole village. Their
rates were low and the clothing were
we'll, even if it fitted poorly. More
particular people of course patron
Iized higher class establishments.
Today tailors pay high wages,
and in the larger cities much more
comfortable workshops have to be
provided. The custom maker who
ten years ago was charging $35 for
suit of mems clothes, usually has
to ask $45 for it today.
Meanwhile ready made clothing
has made no great advance in price.
The makers pay more for labor, but
by running large shops they keep
the costs fairly well down. The ma
jority of hard working people have
to forego the glove fit of finely
tailored suit, as a too costly luxury.
The disposition of the ready-to-wear
trade to meet the needs of slim aid
stout and tall and short men enables
nearly every one to find something
that comes pretty close to his needs.
Much the same conditions prevail
in women's clothing. The cost OF
custom made dresses grows every
year. Fashionable dressmakers, with
style and a gift at fitting the indi-
vidual figure, command almost any
price they may ask. The average
woman looks more and more to the
ready made shop. Her vanity is not
quite so we'll satisfied, but she has
lot of money left for other needs.

Retort Courteous.

e Pluribus Jones reached the
station platform just as the 5:15
was pulling out. A little burst OF
speed before the admiring onlookers
netted him fifty feet in overcoming
the trains handicap, but the best
that his ample carcass could do
thereafter was to run a losing race.
He quit at the end of the freight
yards and returned.
miss your train, sir?" inquired
the porter cheerfully.
Jones fiicked speck of dust from
his coat sleeve.

ly. "Oh, no, l was just chasing II
out of the yard. You oughtn't allo"
it around here. Don't you see tho
tracks it's left?"-New York Eve

BRINE CURE FOR PORK.
Receipt Taken From University of
Missouri Press Bulletin.

AS soon as the carcass has been
properly chilled and cut up, it is rea-
dy for curing Rub each piece with
salt, sprinkle a layer of salt in the
bottom of a good, tight barrel, and
over each layer of meat as it is pack
ED in tightly. When the barrel is
full, cover the meat with board and
weight it down with stone, so that
none of the pieces can float with any
part of the surface exposed to the
air, where it is likely to mold.
Make the brine by dissolving eight
pounds of salt and two pounds of
sugar in four gallons of hot water.
This will treat hundred pounds of
meat, and should be poured down
the side of the barrel until the meat
is thoroughly covered. Four or five
days after the brine is put on, the
meat should be repacked in another
barrel in reverse order, so that the
pieces which were at the bottom will
be on top in the second barrel. Brine
should be poured on as before, and
the transfer to another barrel re-
peated in about five days, and this
time it should he allowed to remain
in the brine about a day and half
for each pound contained in the larg-
er pieces of meat in the barrel, thai
is, a fifteen-pound pieice of meat
should stay in the brine about TWEEN
ty-two and half days, then it should
be washed in warm water and huns
up for smoking, just as in the cas'
of dry-cured meat. 1t should b.
smoked with hickory, oak, apple o.
any other wood except that belong
ing to the pine family, until it suits
the taste of the user. About twenty
five smudges make good, milo
smoke.
Many prefer not to use salt-pete
or borax, and they should be used ii
small quantities if at all, for bot
tend to harden the lean meat, am
salt-peter gives it bright-red color
Not more than an ounce should b
used with each pound of salt. Boz
ak helps to keep off the shippers,
but this may be done by proper sack
ing. If used, it should be sprinkle
lightly over the lean surface at tn
beginning of the curing or just afte
smoking, but not more than a table
spoonful should be used for a lare
ham.
Plain syrup, sorghum, or hone
may be rubbed on the meat afte
either the dry salt or brine cure ha
been completed, and pepper may b
added if desiried. After it is care
fully sacked, so that the flies can nc
possibly get in, it should be hung Ii
a dry, airy place until needed.

For Him Who Churns.

There is a great deal more to
churning than simply turning the
crank and stopping when the butter
comes. So says A. B. Nystrom of the
Washington Experiment Station, and
he gives some interesting rules
which should save lot of labor and
besides give better butter. The cor
rect temperature is important, so,
first, get good dairy thermometer.
Fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit is
considered a low churning tempera-
ture, and sixty-five degrees a high
one.
Use low churning temperature;
1. When the cream is very sour.
2. When it Is very rich.
8. When the fat globules in the
cream are soft, due to soft feeds and
grass.
4. During hot weather when the
temperature is likely to rise while
churning.
Use high churning temperature:
1. When the cream is rather sweet.
2. When the cream is thin.
3. When the fat globules are hard,
due to dry feeds.
4. During cold weather.
When butter comes in from thirty
to forty minutes, that is sign of
correct temperature. Butter should
always form in granules. If it comes
in soft Jumps, the churning tempera-
ture has been too high. This makes
the butter greasy, hard to wash, and
it spoils quickly because of the but
termilk that wasn't washed out.
Too low a temperature will cause
slow churning and a brittle texture,
but these faults are less serious than
the others. Turn the churn just fast
enough to get the greatest amount of
conclusion. To do this, consider the
amount of cream in the churn and it's
condition. Sweet cream, especially
| if it is rich, tends to foam and stick
to the churn. In that case turn SLOW
ly, so as to give the cream plenty of
time to fall
| Next to the churn ITSELF a good
cream separator is the most impor-
tant utensil in farm dairy, because
it gives you a smooth, fresh, uniform
cream.

supreme court on writ of certiorarl
which raised an issue on the action of

means that the local option election
held In Macon December 8, 1913, is

They contend that the decision OF
the appellate court, which is upheld by
the supreme court, simply means that
the case is back for trial on the mer-

Is one of the issues for the lower court
to try.
