warm water 10 remove any extra cur
ing mixture, wipe it dry, and hang
it up for smoking. Smoke with
hickory, oak, apple, or any wood ex-
cept that Of the pine family, when
all the meat is ready. About twen-
ty-five smudges make a good, mild
smoke. The taste of the user should
determine the length of time the
meat should be smoked. Country
cured meat may mold in damp
weather without injury, but 1t must
be wrapped carefully to keep out the
shippers.
Meat Curing.
Do not use too much saltpeter in
curing meat. Saltpeter is used pri-
marily as an agent to intensity and
make more pronounced the red color
Of the meat or to cause the meat to
retain its rich, natural color. Used
to excess, 1t will cause the hams to
present q greyish appearanc and to
become dry and wood like.
In smoking the meat, the smoking
should be done slowly. II it ex-
tends over a period of from four to
six weeks, with a little smoke each
day and with little heat, It will
be all the better. Slow smoking
gives meat a delicate lavor. Where
the smoking is rushed and the meat
Is close to the fire, it often has a
smoky" taste. Hickory wood is a
prime favorite in smoking meat, but
various other hard woods, such as
maple, sasafras, and apple are fair
substitutes. Soft woods should-be
avoided as they give OF nsiderable
carbon.
One criticism made against much
of the meat that has been exhibited
in the Missouri show is that it was
been allowed to remain in salt too
long. This seems to be a fault to
which the farmers should look il
they wish to produce a product which
will prove popular with the consum-
ers. The length of time that meat
should remain in salt depends upon
the weather and also upon the
weight of the meat. One rule fol
moderate weather is day and a
half for each pound of meat. This
for example, would mean 21 days
for IA pound ham. Most farmers
prefer leaving the meat in the salt
for longer period and it is perhaps
best to do so. 1t at least makes fol
safety. Where the bacon is to be
used soon the rule of a leading ba.
con grower is to leave tne lighter OF
thin pieces in salt from 5 days to a
week and the heavier pieces from 10
days to two weeks. II the bacon is
to be carried through the summer
this amount of salt will perhaps MOI
be sufficient However, bacon should
never be left in salt as long as are
hams and shoulders.
One common cause of meat spoilins
or souring at the bone is that of salt.
ing it when it is frozen. Never salt
down frozen meat. On the other
hand, meat salted before all the ami
NAL heat is out is In danger OF
spelling.
In curing bacon the sides always
should be cut in two so that one OF
the strips will be thin and the other
thick. This lighter pieces makes
the choice breakfast bacon. The
heavier pieces are not so popular
with most bacon eaters.

SAY TAX IS
ILLEGAL

According to advices received by the
East Chicago Chamber of Commerce
from the public service commission at
Indianapolis the water tax of three dol
lars per that has been assessed against
automobiles by the East Chicago and
Indiana Harbor Water Co. is an illegal
tax and therefore not collectable.
The matter came UP before the di-
rectors a week ago upon complaint of
one of the citizens and the secretary
was instructed to write to the com
mission in regard to the legality of the
tax.
Teh following letter was received and
is now on file in the secretary's office:
Mr.. f. l.. Evans.
Secretary Chamber of Commerce,
East Chicago. Indiana.
Dear Sir: We are in receipt of
your letter under date Of April 30.
1917, in which you make inquiry re-
garding a special automobile tax
of $500 imposed by the East Chi
cage and Indiana Harbor Water Co.
against all owners of automobiles.
In looking up the schedule of
rates. tolls and charges now on file,
and under which said is
now operating we do not find any
charge of his kind. unless same
should be listed under another
name. Therefore, it would be an
illegal charge.
Yours very truly.
(Signed) CHAS. A. EDWARDS.
Commissioner.
E. r. Jenkins, local manager of the
company. was present at the meeting
OF the board of directors yesterday
when his letter was presented and in
answer said that probably this rate had
not been properly filed.
He said further that until it was
properly filed there would be no further
effort to collect the tax; andsif 1t should
develop that the rate was Illegal, he
would see that all money paid in was
returned to those who had been thu
taxed.
