HOIne-Cured Meat.

Clemson College, S. c., Oct. 23.-
Curing meats with brine is good
method for farm use. 1t is less trou-
bic to pack the meat in a barrel and
pour brine over it than to go over it
three or four times and rub in salt,
as in the dry-curing method. The
brine also protects the meat from in
sects and vermin. Brine made of
pure water and according to the di-
rections in the following recipes
should keep a reasonable. length of
time. During warm weather, how
ever, brine should be watched close-
ly, as if it becomes "ropy," like syr-
up, it should be boiled or new brine
made. A cool, moist cellar is the
best place for brine curing.
Pure water, salt, sugar or mo-
lasses, and saltpeter are all the in
gradients 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 unless
meat has spoiled in it. 1t should be
scalded 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 cool
ing. Frozen meat should not be salt
ed, as the frost prevents proper pene-
tration of the salt and uneven curing
results.

UNBREAkABLE GLASS FOUND.
Invention Valuable for Making Watch
Crystals for Arm Timepieces.

Much has been printed in Euro
pean papers on the subject of strap
watches as a part of military equip
ment. This has attracted a good deal
of attention, since modern warfare
has demonstrated the necessity for
officers and soldiers to know the
time. The telephone and signal SER
vice, which play important parts in
modern warfare, have made the wear
ing of watches by soldiers obligatory.
The only practical way in which they
can wear them is on the wrist, where
the time can be ascertained readily,
an impossibility with the old-style
pocket watch.
European reports show that strap
watches have been adopted for use
in the army and navy, and that civ
ilians are also wearing them in
preference to the pocket watch.
There have been instances during
the progress of the present war
where bad effects have resulted from
the wearing of watches. The chief
danger has been from the breaking of
the crystal, and when the watch was
worn on the wrist, the consequences
have been serious, owing to parts OF
the shattered crystal flying into the
eyes and for a time there was talk
of discontinuing the use of wrist
watches.
Realizing the seriousness of the
defects in the old-fashioned strap
watch European watchmakers set
about remedying them. Many devices
were introduced, such as grill or fill
gree work placed over the dial, leav-
ing only the figures exposed. This,
however, made it very difficult to as
certain the time readily, and conse-
quently it had to be abandoned. Then
the hunting case was resorted to, but
as it's usefulness neccessitated the
pushing of a spring to open the case,
it also was found to be impracticable.
Not only this, but the damp condi-
ton of the trenches, soon rusted the
springs, and the difficulty, if not the
impossibility of having them repaired
confronted the wearer.
Celluloid glass was then intro
duced. This was during the summer
season, but when cold weather set in
the crystals contracted and dropped
off, the dials became scratched and
the inf1ammable nature of the cellu-
loid and the. danger .entailed from its
use in close quarters, where candles
were the only mode of illumination,
soon manifested themselves.
The fertile brain of the inventor
finally hit upon the unbreakable
glass, clear in color and noninf1am-
able. Being of an unshrinkable ma
ture, unbreakable glass is likewise
dust-proof, which is not the case
with the ordinary crystal. So great
has become the demand for wrist
watches equipped with unbreakable
glass that European manufacturers
are working overtime and are COM
PEELED to convert ladies' watches into
military timepieces to supply the mil
itary needs.-Philadel Ledger.

so advised raising of horses and

Governor Manning cited the I'M
stance of West Feliciana parish in
Louisiana as showing the extent Of
the damage which the boil weevil
can do. This county, however, said
the governor, was an exceptional one
in point. of damage sustained. In
1904 the production of cotton in this
county was 22,497 bales. In 1910
the production was 431 bales. The
example of East Felicia parish was
hardly better. Production in that
county in 1904 was $4,000, and last
year the crop totaled 1856 bales.
Production of cotton in Louisiana is
on the increase at this time and pros
poets for this years crop indicate a
yield of about 100000 bales.
@'The coming of the weevil to this
State will require cooperation and
courage of all classes" said Governor
Manning. 'The bankers, merchants
and farmers must assist in meeting
the changed conditions which the
presence of the weevil will force up
on US. Unnecessary expenses must
be cut down; cash basis of running
the farms should be instituted wher-
ever possible, and diversifcation of
crops must be the established rule
