Method of Saving Meat.
BY f. T.. BRECK ENRIDGE
I'm RURALIST)

AS hog killing time will soon
be here I will give my method of
saving meat. After the hogs get
the most of the scattering po-
tatoes, peas, peanuts, ETC., [ put
them up in close floored pens and
finish off with corn for about
three weeks. When | am ready
to kill [ have everything ready
and plenty Of help. [ kill and
clean early in the morning, and
as soon as | can get around, gen.
orally afternoon, I cut up and
salt the meat down in barrels
and let it stand for about three
weeks, but in a few days after |
kill [ draw off the bloody brine
and throw it away. Then at the
end of the three weeks [ take it
up, rinse off some CT the salt and
hang up to smoke. [ use green
hickory wood mostly. [ smoke
it until the meat is light brown.
| get large pan or tub and
empty the contents of a bottle of
prepared liquid smoke in it and
take a cloth about the size of q
dish rag. | take each piece of
meat and rub thoroughly with
the prepared smoke and pack in
barrels. Then you can go on
about your business and not
worry about the shippers getting
in your meat, for they will not
bother it. [ never have to be
careful about keeping my meat
barrei covered up tight. [ have
read many letters in the Rural
list, but | don't rememb Der read
ing one where prepared smoke
was used On meat. 1t costs $1.OO
per bottle Of quart and one
bottle will go over from $50 to
300 pounds of meat.

Game Law Case Will be- Ad-

Motion was fled before the
Supreme Court by J B. Harris,
attorney, for Game Commlssi""

lew instituted few days sinc'
ia the Kinds county Circuit court
ard which was decided by Judge
Potter in favor of the game COM
missioner and against the initia-.
tive and referendum amendRient.
The Supreme Court granted the
motion to advance and it viii he
argued before that tribunal Dec.
1lth. This proceeding means
that a direct decision will be had
on the contention that the am end
ment did not receive majority
Of all the votes cast in the elec-
tion at which it is claimed to have
been adopted. and that, before,
it was improperly inserted in the
constitution. If decided that way
the game law stands; if the Su-
preme court holds it was proper
lly adopted and inserted in the
constitution. the game law is
dead, because of the recent large
majority polled against.it.

Canker in Citrus Groves of
South is Under Control.

Contrary to the most optimist-
ic expectations, the Bureau of
Plant Industry, cooperating with
the state governme ent Of Florida,
practically has eradicated citrus
canker from Florida. The dis
ease in Louisiana, Mississippi,
Alabama and Texas, where it
never was general, is under con
troll and it's stamping Quits simp-
]y a matter Of time.
In compliance with the urgent
request for federal aid to check
the ravages of the citrus fruit
ma .ady, the government has ap-
propriated $550,000. Only about
halt of this amount has been ex-
pended. AT first it was believed
that no less than So, 900, 900 would
be needed to check this rapidly
sprea ding disease, which not on
ly threatened the citrus industry
in gulf states, but was in immi-
nent danger Of being carried to
the more extensive fields in Cali
fornia.
Tn Louisiana. Mississippi, Ala
bama and Texas the work has
been more difficult from the be-
ginning, because of the more
scattered character of the plant
ings and the smaller interest in
the matter due to the cOmpara-
lively low commercial value of
the citrus paintings as compared
with other agricultural develop
ments Of those states.
Ii no other unusual draw backs
such as the extremely severe
tropical storms of tine present
year, which caused unexpected
lv wide distribu tion of canker in
some areas, are encountered, no
further dangerous spread o. the
disease is expected.
South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama and Mississippi should
have but very small percentage
of infected trees at the close OF
the present fiscal year. Willie G
material reduction in the guam
tity Of infection has been effect
ed in Louisiana, the eradication
of the disease from that state
and Texas apparently will be
very difficult and will require a
greater length of time, owing to
the difficulty of searching out the
isolated cases.
Supplemented protection meas
ures, such as formalin treatment
of infected soil and protective
spraying Of groves exposed to
Infection, are fastening materi-
~elly the work of eradi oation
trough destruction of diseased
srees and decreasing the mum,
ber of secondary outbreaks.
Even in the few places where
citrus canker outbreaks have oc-
Cured in commercial districts
and in old trees, ii appears pos
sible to eradicate the disease
promptly and effectively.
