Advocates Farm to Replace Jail
Windham County System Shows Better Result in Every Way Than That in
 Hartford County

Representatives Of Hartford county are strongly urging that n new jail be built outside of the city of Hartford where the county farm can be made to replace the present antiquated jail system.
 The need of a new jail has been re- cognized for some years. The system now in use IS the contract system which allows q chair company the services of prisoners for purposes of manufacturing chatrs- A daily aver age Of prisoners for the year was 35O and the state received from their ser vices but S7 ,69l. II while in Windham county with au average of only "A prisoners day under the farm system the state received SIC, ,924 66.
 In making a comparison between the Hartford jail and the Windham county jail wtlter in Hartford pa per has the following to say:
 "rhe agricultural jail Is not a new thing in Connecticut. Windham county has had jail farm for more than seventy.six years. The prisoners work on the jAil farm of 273 acres and on the farms roundabouti in the spring, summer snd fall. In the winter they are employed in harvesting ice, sup plying wood anu in making improve ha fla kfAn, n hn si n point of view, ms entrusted with the Hartford county jail, the Windham county Jail has been the more success ful one. During the year ending Sep tember 80, 1916, the Windham county jail had 442 prisoners. The average daily number Of prisoners was seventy four The income received from their labor, which includes payments made for their services and receipts from the sale of produce raised on the county farm, amounted to Sl0,924 6d. The Hartford county jail with Il daily ay craze ot prisoners five times greater and with total number of prisoners almost ten times greater ithan Wind. ham county jail received S2, ,28a95 tess for the labor of it's inmates. It has been said that the jail farm would not be worth while for Hartford county, since the type of criminahty and the itinerant class found. in this county cannot be compared with d county such us Windham. Mindham county has the same type of criminality and itinerant class as Hartford county

GAINING WEIGHT
 IS LIKE PUTTING MONEY IN BANK
When Meals Pay a Profit There is no
 Danger of Physical Bankruptcy

Are your meals paying dividends, or are they plunging you headlong into physical. bankruptcy
 Every meal you eat should give more than hunger satisfaction. More blood for veins and more flesh for bones are what you should have.
 Some folks will not grow plump The more they eat the thinner they get. Something must be wrong. These people eat plenty of flesh-build- ing food, still they gain very little strength.
 The man who ate and did not get fat, suggested that 1t made him poor to carry it around.
 The loo slender man or woman rarely is happy.
 Plumpness of the body depends upon the stomach extracting the facts from the foods that are eaten. When the stomach fails at fat making, the whole system suffers.
 Plumpness does not depend upon the amount of food that is eaten; il de pends upon the amount of food that is aSsimilated by the stomach. In cases oi extreme slenderness, nine times out Of ten IL may be traced to stomach sluggishness
 Tanlac, the matchless reconstructive vegetable tonic, overcomes stomach weakness. It has increased the weight of many who were too slender because 1t is tonic for the system. Tanlac is tissue builder and constitutional food. Weak, thin, pale, bloodless, nervous, run down men and women grow fat taking Tanlac.

Buckwheat and Sausage.

According to recent report from
one of the most prolific of the buck
wheat States there is an immense in
crease this year in the buckwheat
crop. 1t is joy news Let US hope
that the buckwheat cake this COM
ing winter will garnish every break
fast table. 1t is to be hoped that
Mr. Hoover will be able to take a
little time off from the arduous duty
of advising his countrymen to eat
less, to ordain meatless days and
wheatless days. and in general to
substitute fast days for feast days,
to look after the food profteers and
see to it that they do not get cor
ner on buckwheat and boost the
price.
Once there was an Eastern Sho'
man who said that when he went to
bed knowing there would be buck
wheat and sausages for breakfast he
couldn't sleep for thinking about it.
And when he went to bed with in
formation that there would be no
buckwheat and sausages for break
fast he couldn't sleep for worrying
about it.. The price of sausages was
skied last winter, end there is reason
to fear that. unless Mr. Hoover does
something about it. the price even
of hot dogs" will be out Of reach
except on special occasions. when
the ultimate consumer grows reck.
less and goes in for buckwheats and
sausages in spite of the inflated
cost. Baltimore, (MD, STIR.

Ten DAYS will give a very nice, mild
cure to a six or eight-pound piece.
BRINE CURE::-make a brine by
boiling 7 pounds of clean salt and 2
pounds of white or brown sugar
with two gallons of water. If salt
peter is desired, add one-fourth
pound This gives about enough to
cover 100 pounds of pork when we'll
packed. Sprinkle 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 board and weight down with a
rock. Allow to stand over night.
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, repack, and cover
with the same brine. Repeat in
about a 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
water to remove the excess of the
cure. Smoke with hickory, oak, ap-
pie. or any non n-resinous wood. Avoid
all wood of the pine family. With
continuous smudge the smoking
can be completed in twenty-four
hours. With intermittent smoking
longer time is necessary, as cold
meat takes the smoke" slowly.
Wrap the meat to keep it away from
the shippers. If rats or mice get at
the meat, they open a way for the
shippers. In damp weather cured
meats will mould. This is not in
FURIOUS, except it is advisable to use
I'D shoulders. as the mould grows in
the cracks and calls for excessive
trimming.

Two Methods of Curing Pork.

Hog killing time is coming. 1t is
especially important this year that
each family cure an abundant supply
of meat. p F Trowbridge. of the
University of Missouri College of
Agriculture, offers two methods of
curing pork:
DRY CURE:-Do not cut up the
pork until the carcass is we'll chilled.
Make mixture of clean fine salt,
40 pounds; white or brown sugar.
10 pounds; white or black pepper, 4
pounds; red pepper, l-2 pound.
This will make enough cure for
about 1000 pounds of pork. If
saltpeter is desired, use 2 pounds in
the above mixture. 1t will give a
red color to the lean meat, but has
a tendency to harden the meat too
much.
Rub each piece of meat thorough
ly with the cure. Take special care
to work the cure around the ends of
bone of hams and shoulders. Pack
skin down on table or in box in
in a cool, airy place. Do not place
in direct sunlight or in a damp,
musty cellar. After four or five days
overhaul the meat. rub thoroughly
with the cure and repack; repeat
this process in about week or
so. Hams and shoulders should
remain in the cure from one and
one-half days 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 for shorter time.

THE CORN SITUATION.

Scarcity of Product in Some Sections OF
State Already Noticeable.
David R Coker. Food Administra-
tor for South Carolina, has issued
the following statement to the farm.
ers of the State:
THE grain dealers of the country
now have very little corn for sale.
Within the past few days several
merchants have told me they could
not get quotations on corn or grits.
There is an actual scarcity Of corn
The county record. [volume] (Kingstree, S.C.) 1885-1975, 1917-11-01

at present in many of the towns of
the State?
Early planted corn in South Car
oina is now thoroughly cured and
ready for the market. The farmer
who promptly gathers, shucks, shells
and sacks his crop can probably get
$500 or better for it from his mer-
chant. December corn is quoted in
Chicago between S1.15 and $l.20.
Should the market remain at this
figure corn will shortly come down
in this section to about $3.50 per
bushel. l, therefore, urge the
farmers of South Carolina to gather
enough corn promptly to supply the
local demand and not wait for west
ern corn to come in, flood our
local markets and take them away
from US.
Merchants should give prefer
ence to home corn at all times. It
contains less moisture and will keep
better than most western corn.
Many prefer home ground corn
meal to the bolted meal of COM
merce, and merchants should ar
range with local mills to supply
them and fiji this demand.
by the right sort of cooperation
between the farmer, the merchant
and the housekeeper, the tremend-
GUS corn crop made in this State
can be consumed right here at home.
Lack of cooperation will mean ship
ping in western corn and meal and
later shipping out our own product
Housekeepers will not consume as
freely if they have to buy imported
meal"
