Curing of Pork on the Farm.

At one time ia the history of our
country nearly all the goods used on
the farm were produced there. Today
such is not the case. AS our activl-
ties have become more complex, we
are able to do fewer tasks, but as a
consequence, must do them better,
This is as true on the farm as In
other lines Of business. Today no
one thinks of converting the shorn
wool into clothing on the farm. This
is the work of the manufacturer, for
by his skill and equipment he can do
it better and more economically.
This statement is not true of all lines
Of manufacturing activity. In the
canning Of fruits and vegetables and
the preparation Of many foodstuffs,
the commercial factory will not COM
pete, either n economy or quality of
production, with the home.
The knowledge Of the essential
principles of meat curing is fast dis
appearing from the farm folk. In
many localities only among the older
people and the people of foreign ex-
traction is this practice kept up.
HomecuTe1 meat is best Ia many
ways. 1t inSures the use of clean
homegrown animals with less proba-
bllity of disease. The flavor and
quality should be of the highest rank
because the farmer can give his per-
sonal attention to the care and fat
tenng of the animal
The curing of the meat commences
to an extent before the animal is
slaughtered. If the animal is youpp
and still growing rapidly, the meat
will not be firm and hard when cured.
1t will always be soft and watery.
Animals should be well matured and
well finished for the best grade of
cured meat. Big hogs weighing from
300 lbs. to 400 lbs. are best for lard.

thoroughly cooled. In cooling, the
meat should not be allowed to freeze
as it will not cure evenly afterwards.
The pork may be either dry or
brine-cured with practically the same
curing mixtures. The brine cures
are usually OeSt for the farm because
they are simpler and require fewer
utensils.

Barren of Foodstuffs.
General Funston explained that the
country in that district was absolute
ly barren of foodstuffs for either the
men or the animals, and that unless
turn to Satevo must have been neces-
sary. He assumed they had not re-
turned to Parral.
The latest reports received by Gen
eral Funston in which mention was
made of Villa gave as his location the
mountains north and west of Parral.
Officers here are convinced that he
did not succeed in getting as far south
as the Chihuahua Durango state line.
Not many details Of the Parral Incl
dent were added to the information al
ready received. General Pershing re-
ported the names of the dead and
wounded, which include that OF Lieu
tenant James Ord of the Sixth infan-
try. The others were OF the Thir-
teenth cavalry. With the exception of
one of the wounded the injuries were
described as slight.
General Pershing said that the OFF,
Ger who invited the American force to
enter Parral was captain of the gar
rison there. He appeared at the
American camp on the afternoon of
Tuesday. courteously invited the troop
ers to ride into the place and spent
the night with the Americans.
He left the camp after breakfast,
bound for Parral. Major Tompkins
had accepted the invitation in good
faith, but as further precaution he
sent forward a courier to apprise the
garrison of his coming. What became
of the courier has not been learned.
