HOW TO PRESERVE MEAT
ON THE FARM IN SUMMER

Meat is one of the principal foods
and in no place should this be more
true than on the farm to-day as
well as it has been in the past The
high esteem in which meat was held
in olden days is evidenced by the
fact that when a big feast was to
be made in a farm house the thing
especially mentioned is the fatted
calf.
One way to have fresh meat is
to can it. Canning meat is easily
done and is proving very satisfact-
ory. The lean meat is cut in pieces
that will easily go into a fruit jar.
The covers are tightly put on the
jars put into a boiler with a false
bottom and water enough to cover
the jar. Boil five hours if it is beef,
pork requires four hours boiling and
chicken three and one-half hours.
Full instructions for canning meats
as well as for fruits and vegetables
are given in Agriculture Extension
Bulletin No. 8. .
In making salt pork, first rub each
piece with fine salt, the next day
cover with a brine made up of 10
pounds of salt and two ounces of
asaltpeteE to four gallons of boiling
water. This will be enough for 100
pounds of pork. Leave in the brine
till needed. For hams and bacon
rub each piece with salt, the next

CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

The Endeavor social last week was
great success. There were So pres

three hours. They played games and
worked for prizes and kept busy in
some sort of amusement all the while.
Light refreshments were served at
the close of the social hour. The
committee on entertainment were A.
P. Orr, Charles Eldred, Claudine Wall,
Bernice Pelton and Neva Duling. No
finer bunch of young people can be
found any where than you will find in
our Endeavor society. Fifteen new
names were added to our membership.
There were even fifty present at the
devotional meeting Sunday evening.
Our church has much reason to be
proud Of our Endeavor society. They
are willing workers in every depart
ment that they are given>any thing to
do. The regular services next Sun
day. Sunday school at 10 and preach
ing at II a. m. All Sunday school

ceived into the church, as members.
All are cordially invited to worship

LITTLE GIRL SUCCUMBS AS
RESULT OF SEVERE BURNS

Nellie, 12 years of age, daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. H. r. Mills, former resi-
dents on the Mills ranch, just over the
South Dakota line, south of Mar
marth, was burned to death at the
new home of her parents in Los
Angeles California, recently.
Word from the Mills is to the ef-
feet that little Nellie was busy about
the gasoline stove while Mrs. Mills
was out Of the kitchen and that in
some manner her clothes caught fire
from the gasoline flames. She i'm
mediately ran out into the yard
where the flames had free access to
her body, fatally burning her before
assistance arrived.
The accident occurred in the morn
ing and she lived until evening when
death relieved her from her suffering.
Mr.. Mills and family moved to Los
Angeles little over year ago, hav-
ing for several years prior to that
made their home on the Mills ranch
just over the line in South Dakota.
They have many friends, both in
Marmarth and in the neighborhood
of their old ranch who extend their
sympathy.

YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED

A quiet wedding was solemnized in
Judge Fred Maser's office at o'clock
last Thursday afternoon when Henry
Cutkay and Miss Elsie Elsner
were united in marriage, Misses Viola
Maser and Agnes Fay acting as wit
nesses.
The bride is the second daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Mike Elsner Of New
Ulm, Minn., and came out here for
the first time few days prior to her
marriage.
The groom is the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs: VIM. Cutkay of this city,
they having moved here last October.
He came here in January, having
formerly resided in Mankato, Mimi,
BRIDES home being a short distance
away.
The first of the week Mr.. and Mrs.
Cutkay left>on short honeymoon trip

day pack in barrel or stone jar,
cover with brine made up Of
eight pounds salt two pounds brown
sugar and two ounces saltpeter dis
solved in four gallons of boiling
water. After cooling, pour over the
meat. Bacon should be left in the
brine four to six weeks and hams
six to eight weeks. There are many
ways to improvise a smoke house.
One of the simplest is to invent a
barrel, suspend the hams and bacon
from the bottom by passing a string
through holes in the bottom of the
barrel and run stick through the
lop. Make a fire place three to
five feet from the barrel and lead
the smoke into the barrel with a
length or two of stove pipe. Maple
wood is regarded as the best fuel.
Hardwood is preferable to soft wood.
Corn cobs are very good. A slow
fire is best, with a constant fire the
meats may be smoked enough in
two or three days. A more uniform.
smoking is secured when a fire is
built once a day and the smoking
kept up for a week or 10 days or
a fire every other day for 2 weeks.
There are so many ways of pro-
viding meat for the summer on the
farm that a constant supply of fresh
and cured meats can be provided.

CITY ELECTION PROVES
DECIDEDLY QUIET AFFAIR

The city election this year was one
Of the quietest ever held in Dickinson,
very little interest being shown in the
outcome. This was due to large
extent to the fact that there was
only one office for which there was a
contest, that of alderman for the
Third Ward, A. D. Heaton and V. K.
Greene, contesting for the honors.
The, fact that only ISL votes were
cast in city that polled $50 votes
in the last general election shows a
decided lack of interest in the city's
election.
The following vote was cast:

BATTERIES AND BATTERIES

A few years ago the car owner
cranked his motor by hand. Some
times it started. Sometimes it start
ed backwards, and made business for
the bonesetters. When night came,
there was a tank containing gas, (un'
til it ran out ten miles from town..
and the headlights were fed from this
source. Today the fortunate driver
sits comfortably in the seat to start
the car with push of the button.
Another button, and the road is food
ed with light. His possibilities are
unlimited. Hand warmers, foot
warmers. carburetor heaters, any
thing electrical may be attached to
the insignificant little battery hidden
away in the car. Good things deserve
care, and the battery must have it or
perish. Distilled water every week
or two is important. The charge
must be kept up above the 1900 mark
or deterioration sets in. If the car
is to be left for long time in the
winter, the battery will run down,
freeze, and much damage ensue. IN
fortunately the average man will take
chance. TO the rescue of these hui
mans comes the Battery Service Sta
ton. At the Corwin Motor Company
there is man drawing top wages be-
cause he knows all about the battery
