mails in Demand.

Raisers Of high-class draft horses
have been studying the horse sit,ia
ton in this country during the past
year with considerable interest, Won
dering just what the future Of the
business will be. The increasing use
of the tractor has llndcniably had some
effect on the draft horse business,
but it is believed by those who have
studied the question very closely that
the tractor will never supplant the
horse entirely, but rather will find its
greatest usefulness as a supplement
to horse power. A combination Of the
right kind of draft horses with tractor
power seems a logical outcome Of the
future. There Is one thing to remem-
Der, however. this being the fact that
the time Is past when there is any
money in raising anything but high
class horses. The draft horse with
quality will probably always be in
strong demand.

Expert Gives Advice
on Best Pork CurinQ

Z pounds Of clean salt and pounds of
white or brown sugar With gallons
Of water If saltpeter is desired add
one fourth pound. This gives about
enough to cover 100 pounds of pork
when well packed. Sprinkle n little
clean, fine salt in the bottom of the
barrel, rub each piece of meat lightly
with the salt. sprinkle light layer of
salt between each layer of meat. Put on
n board : nd weight down With Il rock.
Allow to stand overnight. Tip barrel
on side and allow the liquor to run
out. Cover the meat with the cold
brine and allow to stand in a cool place
four or five days. Overhaul, repacS
and cover with the same brine. Repeat
in about Il week. Give the meat the
same length of time for curing as with
the dry cure.
When the curing is complete wash
off the excess cure and hang in the
smokehouse. Meat kept in the cure
too long should be soaked in warm wa
ter to remove the excess of the cure.
Smoke with hickory. oak, apple or any
nom resinous wood Avoid all wood of
the pine family, With Il continual
snludge the smoking can be completed
in ~ hours. With intermittent smok
ing longer time is necessary as cold
meat takes the smoke" slowly. Wrap
the meat tn keep it away from the
shippers. II rats or mice get at the
meat they open a Way FOR the skip

Hog killing time is coming. 1t is es
pecially important this year that each
family cure an abundant supply Of
meat. p. f. Trowbridge of the Univer-
sity of Missouri College of Agriculture
offers two methods Of curing pork:
Dry Cure-Do not cut up the pork
till the carcass is we'll chilled. Make
mixture of clean, fine salt 40 pounds
white or brown sugar 10 pounds, white
black pepper 4 pounds red pepper u
pound. This will make enough cure
for about 900 pounds of pork. If salt
peter is desired, use , pounds III the
above mixture. 1t will give red color
to the lean meat, but has a tendency
to harden the meat too much. Chill
saltpeter may be used instead of the
regular saltpeter by taking about 20
per cent less.
Rub each piece of meat thoroughly
with the cure. Take special care to
work the cure around the ends of bone
of hams and shoulders. Pack, skin
down, on a table or in q box in a cool
airy place. Do not place in direct sun
light or in a damp, musty cellar. After
four or five days overhaul the meat,
FuD lnOTOuSnll Will the cure anu tx"
pack: repeat this in about a week.
Hams and shoulders should remain in
the cure from one and a half to two
days per pound weight of piece; the
latter time is safer for meat that is to
be kept during the summer. Bacon
should be in the cure a shorter time.
Ten days will give a very nice mild
cure to a SIX or eisht-ponna piece.

Government Price Guarantee
Won't Hold in Case the
struggle Terminates.

Washington. NOV. 1S.--Thc farmer
holding his wheat for prices higher

son for this years crop is gambling
on a long war.
When the war ends he will find him
self with large holdings facing Il mar
ket into which enormous reserves from

will be thrown, causing heavy slump
in prices.
For instance the price recently fixed
approximates $2.20 per bushel at Ger
tain designated terminals. II the war
should end by spring. this guaranteed
price would no longer hold. The food
administration ends with the war,
and no guarantees would cover the
nnmoved portion Of the 1917 crop.
Australia would be able to throw
into the worlds markets q surplus Of
about 2i0.n00.0O0 bushels India I2O
100000 bushels. and Argentine about
lS0,000,oOo bushels.
AS Europe's shortage is about 200
100000 bushels, due solely to her in
ability to get Australian and Indian
wheat because of the long haul and
insufficient shipping. ii can be seer
these surpluscs would more than NEE,

Furthermore. the guarantee for S.
wheat, included in the food contro

Soldiers Could Farm.

MANY soldiers are used 10 farm
work. They may return from the war
too crippled to take jobs IN the city
and yet be able. with the aid of their
children, to run farms of from 10 to 40
acres. Tho same applies To the wild
oWs of soldiers. Many women were
raised on farms aud moved to town
when their husbands got jobs there.
They arc always anxious to get back
to the free life of the country. They
can live better out there on less money
and keep their families together. in
stead of being compelled to 70 to
work and leave their children alone.
There is another anele-the ques-
ton of In" national food supply. If
WE can get many small farms going.
w increase our farm products and

The war IS drnu.ling the country of
all hoofed animals. Cattle are being
killed because of the high prices of
meat aud hides. Men arc securing the
country for horses for use by artil-

our farms can we increase our cattle
supply.
