SCOTCH METHOD
 OF HERRING CURE

The following article on the Scotch method of herring cure is from the pen of MT. Aug. H. D. Klie, a wetl known expert. and has the endorse ment of the Department of Comme rec Bureau of Fisheries. by whom 1t is issued to the pubic. The treatise Is intended primarily for the instruction of those engaged in the industry on an extended scale but may be readily adapted to meet the requirements Of those who are desirous of packing for domestic of household use. Particular attention should be paid to the in- structions giving relative to Rousinx or Dredging and also Final Filling. as the success of the process is nrain- ly dependent on faithful adherence to the rules governing those important features of the process.

rel ts bound with three or four wood- en quarter hoops, and with galvan- iZed or iron hoops on the ends. The barrel has a liquid capacity of g II. s. gallons and holds about 150 to 160 pounds net fish. Before packing, bar rels should first be soaked and tested for leaks.
The Nome daily nugget., 1918-01-19
Conditions and Transportation

Herring to be used for Scotch cure must be strictly fresh and absolutely free from red feed or soil. The hold of the carrying boat should be divided into compartments so as to avoid pres sure and heating of the fish. No Ice should be used on herring intended for this cure. They must be packed i'm mediately after being unloaded.
The Nome daily nugget., 1918-01-19
Cutting or Tipping

A snalD knife Is used In removing the gills and gIb. If properly gutted the gall. gutbag. liver, etc, are remov- ed. leaving nothing but the milt or roe in fua herring. Two operations are us- uslly required.

FARM PROSPERITY
IS HOME MADE
Can Be Continued Indefinitely In
South If Farmers Do Their Part,
Says Hastings

Atlanta, Ga.-(Special) THAT the
present wave of farm prosperity" in
the South is home made" and can be
continued indefinitely is the interest
ing statement made recently by H.
G. Hastings, President of both the
Southeastern Fair Association and the
Georgia Chamber of Commerce. Mr..
Hastings said: "Unthinking people are
very apt to attribute the present wave
of farm prosperity in the South to the
present high price of cotton rather
than to its real cause"
Naturally, the high price has helped
a great deal, but the real reason for
the money being I'm the farmers peck
ct or bank is that when the 1917 cot
ton crog was made the farmer owned
II instead of owing it to supply mer-
cheat at the en- of the season, as was
usually the case in tilos past Never
before had the farmers of the South
come as close to feeding themselves,
their families and their live stock
from their own acres as in 1917. They
had need of few store purchases and
made few or no debts"
IF the 1917 crop had been made on
the old basis of plant all cotton and
buy all food at present prices there
would be supply merchant prosperity
but little or none on the farms"
Naturally, the temptation is great
to increase cotton acreage and de-
crease food and grain acreage in 1918.
The man who does it is foolish. The
whole world Is short OF food and this
condition will not only continue but
get worse as long as the war lasts.
Continued high prices for food is as GER
tain as sunrise each morning"
Real money-in-hand farm prosper.
ity is absolutely dependent on the
growing on ones own acres of all the
food, meat, grain and forage needed
for home needs. Once that is provid-
ed for, every other available acre
can safely be planted in cotton or other
cash crop. The larger part of the cost

in the food, grain and forage censum.
ed in making it.
These items home made can be
produced at from one-third to one
half the price the merchant charges
and home production of them means
just that much reduction in the cost

Farm prosperity in the South can
