large enough to easily contain the meats
to be cured. one or more hardwood
barrels or hogsheads carefully scrubbed
with boiling water do very well for the
purpose. Large earthenware jars are
good. Pack the large cuts at bottom as
closely as possible. Prepare the follow
ing brine:
For each 100 pounds of meat take eight
pounds of salt. four pounds of brown
sugar or molasses. three ounces salt
peter. Put in four gallons of water that
has been boiled and allowed to cool
Cover the meat with this brine and
place A weight on top to keep all the
pieces covered. If the quantity Of brine
becomes reduced by leaking or evapora-
ton make more brine as described and
add TO it,
After the meat has been in cure ten
days or two weeks, take the pieces out
and replace in different order to give
the brine A chance to penetrate the spots
where the pieces lay together. For large
hams or shoulders il may be well TO
inject some of the brine into the deeper
parts by means of a large syringe. The
meats should be kept under observation
and the brine examined every few days
to note whether it becomes sour or
stringy. If il does, the brine must be
removed and boiled, or replaced by fresh
brine.
The length of time necessary to cure
meat depends largely on the size of the
cuts. Bacon cures in thirty to forty
days, hams and shoulders Ceight to
fifteen pounds, forty-five to sixty days,
larger pieces in proportion. After the
meat has lain in brine for sufficient
time if mild cure is desired. lay for
several hours i'm water 70 draw OUT
some of the salt. 1t is then ready TO
be smoked.
Hang the meat we'll above a slow fire
so that it will not become heated. Hard
wood especially hickory, is preferred
for smoking Sawdust. of hardwood
may be used Do not use the liquid
smoke" which is offered on the market.
1t gives meat inferior appearance, color
and odor and does noe penetrate like
smoke.
The use of borax, boracic acid, formal
dehyde, salicylic acid and other chemi-
Gals for preserving purposes is forbid
den by the laws of many states. The
federal meat inspection law prohibits
meats that are cured, prepared or packed
in any of these substances being sold
or transported in interstate trade. Food
experts agree as to the harmfulness of
such chenHicals when used, on human
food. Salt, sugar, saltpeter, spices, wood
smoke and vinegar are sufficient for the
proper curing and preserving of all
kinds Of meats. Baking soda is some
times used as an aid in preventing
brine from souring. Should the weather
be warm il may be well to add a small
amount of il.
Meat cured by the smoking method
is more popular than that cured in
any other way. 1t is superior in appear
ance, quality and flavor and brings bet
ter prices on the market.

That Foreign Countries Are Doing with
Equal Suffrage

In Great Britain, Premier Lloyd
George, on behalf of the Liberal party.
has pledged the parliamentary vote to
British women. All other electoral
rights were extended long ago. The vote
mentioned by Lloyd George passed the
house of commons to l. last June. He
said: ITO give the women no voice
would be unjust, negotiable. That is
why the woman question has become a
var question" There are five of Can
ada's largest provinces that have in the
last two years given full suffrage to
Canadian women. Premier Robert Bor-
den has pledged full suffrage The vote
is given to women-all women who are
mothers, wives, widows, sisters and
daughters of soldiers. Even old Mex
leo in 1917, in the most enlightened prov
ince, gave municipal suffrage to all
women of good character. The chamber
of deputies in France ordered that
women should have the vote as an act
of delayed justice, and dictated by pub
lie interests" The city of Prague, in
Bohemia, is moving for equal suffrage.
The city of Budapest has demanded
equal suffrage for men and women. The
premier of Italy has pledged suffrage
to Italian women. Finland, Norway,
Ireland and Denmark have universal
suffrage for men and women. The king
of Sweden has recommended it for the
women of Sweden and the premier has
recommended it. The king of Belgium
has declared that the first act he will
pass, with Belgium restored, will be
ballot privileges for Belgian women
Even Germany in its law making
reichstag has promised suffrage because
In the year 1917. the number of cleo
toral votes in equal suffrage states eX-
banded from 81 to 1913, more than dou-
BILE, by 100 votes. These women voters
hold the balance of power at this time.
Congressman called on President Will
son for advice. political advise, and he
said, give the women the ballot, as an
act of right and justice to the women
of the country and the world"

America Must Conserve
Money as We'll as Food

WASHINGTON. Feb. 19.-America
must conserve her money even as she
does her food, Secretary McAdoo told
the house ways and means committee
today in executive session.
That is why, he said, the war finance
corporation bill is imperative McAdoo
pointed out that this country's war bill
added to the demands of the allies, puts
a serious problem on the back of the
government. Capital, he said, must be
directed in channels of war needs and
properly conserved, which is all, he said,
the proposed bill aims to do.

SOME GOOD IDEAS

Dear Mrs Thomas: / have read your
pieces in The Journal so much, you
really seem like an old friend l enjoy
your letters very much and I've learn
ed a lot / never knew before.
Your talks on chickens and how we
women can help win the war interest
me most.
I am a regular chicken crank. am
a farmers wife, and we raise all we
possibly can to use and buy as little
as we can.
I've just planted some hot beds, so
as TO have some early vegetables, and
/ have just taken. off a beautiful
bunch of White Leghorn" biddies.
My hens haven't Stacked up, al
though we have had some severe cold
weather. And, Mrs Thomas, won't you
give us some recipes for using corn
meal in various ways? l feel sure
there are others who read The Journal
that would appreciate them. We OBJ
serve wheatless days at our house and
meatless ones, too. There are people
that don't seem to realize that were
at war, or the necessity for being saw
ing and not wasting anything.
Oh, if we could only make them I'M
derstand,
I have two little ones, five and two
years old, respectively, and my gar
den, chickens. and house TO look after.
and let me assure you l am busy
women. But who of us is not busy now
adays, with so many things demanding
our time and attention?
I am trying hard to raise my chill
dren right, and they are good and ODE
dent They love to help mama work.
/ did a lot of canning last summer and
expect to do more this summer.
put up a lot by the cold pack method
that you told us about in The Journal
last summer. I cut it out and pasted
it in my cook book.
Here are some of my ways of saw
ing: I make cottage cheese from left
over milk. I save all leftovers from
the table. Burn egg shells for my
chickens. Mend all holes as soon as
they appear in a garment. Sell chickens
and eggs and vegetables.
May the good Lord take care of our
soldier boys over in France. And
may you have good health and happi-
ness in the new year, is the wish of

aggravated and is usually accompanied
by difficult breathing. When animals
are fat and in good condition IT is gem
orally hest to slaughter them, as the
worms are confined entirely to the lungs

When the infestation has run on FOR

TRANSMISSION OF COW PoX TO

r. G.. Talking Rock. Ca. writes. Would

apt 70 contract tho disease. Is there any
cure for it:
AS you probably know. COW pox is
not an uncommon disease. II is caused
BY germ that attacks cows particular
". The disease makes its appearance
most frequently In the region OF the
udder or teats and is characterized by
sores in this region. 1t may be trans
mitted from one animal 10 another by
the hands OF the mixer or by calves.
or by direct contact This disease can,
Of course. be transmitted TO man by di-
rect incubation through sores which
NAV occur on the hands and thus permit
of the infection of the human being
who rniTkS or handles a COW affected
with this disease. AS you probably
know, the fluid from the pimples or
pustles characteristic Of COW poX pro-
vides the material used TO vaccinate per-
sons against this disease. Should this
disease break out on a human being you
should employ A doctor TO treat the
same. In the case of COW. about all
that can be done is to keep the affected
parts soft by applying a healing oint-
ment- For this purpose there is moth
ing better than white lotions followed
BY zinc ointment. If the udder IS
greatly inflamed bathing with hot water
twice daily is excellent &c you have
cows in your herd affected with this DIS
ease they should be MIXED last The
mixer should then wash his hands very
carefully in a suitable disinfectant The
milk. Of course. should not be used Tor
food. There is no reason why a man
who has contracted COW pox by milking
a diseased COW should not recover from
this disease through proper treatment
by a competent physician.
