That the county-agent plan Of carry

and also discusses some Of the prob
LENS which are being met in the effort
to increase this service in accordance
with the courtry's emergency agricul-
tural needs. The confidence of the
states in the county-agent plan is
shown by the fact that most of the
legislatures in the South are making
liberal appropriations to aid in Its
support

There were employed In the 10 south

the thousand pounds of green hams.
After applying the saltpeter, salt i'm
mediately with the Liverpool fine salt,
covering we'll the entire surface. Now
pack the hams in bulk, but not in piles
more than three feet high. In ordi'
nary weather the hams should remain
thus for three days.
Then break bulk and resalt with the
fine salt. The hams thus salted and
resulted should now remain in salt in
bulk one day for each and every pound
each ham welghs-that is, ten-pound
ham should remain ten days, and In
like proportion OF time for larger and
smaller sizes.
Next wash with tepld water until
the hams are thoroughly cleaned, and,
after partially drying, rub the entire
surface with finely ground black pep
per.
Now the hams should be hung In
the smokehouse and the important op-
Grafton of smoking begun. The smOk-
ing should be done very gradually and
slowly, lasting 80 to 40 days.
After the hams are cured and sm0k-
ed they should be re-peppered, to guard
against vermin, and then bagged.
These hams improve with age and are
in perfection when one year old.

Roots Supply suceuIence.

The chief functson of roots in cattle
feeding is to supply n succulent feed.
Under general farm conditions the
quantity Of nutrients grown per acre
in root crops Is small Ia comparison
TO the cost of production These root
crops, however. can be preserved dur
Ing the winter equally well whether
large or small quantities are fed each
day, and therefore have special appli-
cation when only few cows are to ba
fed. OF the different root crops, man.
gel wurzels furnish the greatest yield
per acre. Other kinds of beets and
turnips and carrots may be used. Tur.
nips. however, should be fed after milk.
ing rather than before. as they cause
a bad flavor before milking. Carrots
impart desirable color to the milk.
