up far enough. Cut on each side of the
tongue TO loosen it and pull it out with
an upward jerk. Now cul through the
breastbOne, beginning at the front end.
Cut upward slightly to one side. Re-
move the pluck, which consists of the
heart, lungs, gullet and windpipe, by
cutting the diaphragm. This is the
membrane which separates the organs
of the chest from the stomach, bowels
and other abdominal organs. Cut just
between the light and dark portions of
the diaphragm.
Cut down along the backbone and it
will be easy to pull out the entire
pluck. Put a piece of corncob or smsu
block of wood in the hogs mouth so
air can circulate. Wash out the inside
of the carcass with cold water and a
cloth. Take a stick about foot or IS
inches long and spread open the sides,
allowing free circulation of air To
facilitate cooling. the head can be re-
moved and the carcass split or sawed
down the backbone. In splitting or
saving the carcass be careful TO cut as
near the mid-line az possible.
Leaf Lard.
While the carcass is still warm, re-
move the leaf lard or kidney fat. This
facilitates cooling the carcass and less
ems the danger of the hams and loins
souring. The leaf lard should be
spread out on table to COOL with the
thin membrane side turned down. The
gut fat should not be mixed with the
leaf lard in rendering.
Cooling the Carcass.
The carcass should be cooled after
slaughtering, but not allowed to freeze.
Temperature cannot be controlled on
the farm, but it is possible to kill when
the weather is favorable. Select day
in winter when there is chance for
cooling the carcass before the surface
freezes. The desirable temperature
for cooling meat is "a to 40 degrees
Fahrenheit. In the summer time 1t is
necessary to have refrigeration. In the
fall it is best to kill in the evenings
allowing the carcass to cool overnight.
Hang the carcass in a dark cellar or a
cool room In the barn before the flies
can get at IT. Freshly killed meat abb
serbs odors very readily; do not hang
the carcass in freshly painted room
or in a room with tar, kerosene or gas
Oline.
A pork carcass should not be cut up
until it is thoroughly cooled.

CHAPTER XII.
Action at the DardanelIes.


/ made twelve trips to the Darda-
nelles in all, the Cassard acting gen.
orally Is convoy to troop ships, but
one trip was much like another, and
l cannot remember all the details, so
/ will give only certain incidents OF
the voyages that you might find inter-
eSting. We never put into the Darda-
nelles without being under fire-but
besides saying so, what is there to
write about in that? 1t was interest
ing enough at the time, though, you
can take it from me
Coming up to "V'' beach on our
third trip to the Dardanelles, the
weather was as nasty as any l have
ever seen. The rain was sweeping
along in sheets-great big drops, and
driven by the wind in regular volleys.
You could see the wind coming, by the
line of white against swell where
the drops hit.
AS we rounded the point, the seas
got chopper, and there were cross
currents bucking the ship from every
angle, it seemed. You could not see
two hundred yards away, the rain
breaking over our bows three a min
ute. The coast here is pretty danger
GUS, so we went in very slowly and
had the sounding line going until its
whir-r-r-r sounded louder than a ma
chine gun in action.
I ~, fha how 10
time and had turned to watch some
garbies poking at the scuppers to
drain the water off the deck. But the
scuppers had been plugged and they
were having hard time of it. The
officer on the bridge, in oilskins, was
walking up and down, wiping off the
business end of his telescope and try
ing to dodge the rain. All of the gar
bies but one left the scuppers on the
starboard side and started across
decks to port. The other chap kept
on fooIing around the scuppers. Then
/ saw a big wave coming for US, Just
off the starboard bow and l grabbed
hold of a stanchion and took a deep
breath and held on. When my head
showed above water again the other
end of the wave was just passing o'er
the place where the garbies had been,
and the officer was shouting. "Un
homme a la mer!' He shouted before
the man really was overheard, because
he saw that the wave would get him.
l rushed back to the port bow and
looked back, for the wave had carried
him clear across the decks, and saw
the poor lad in the water, trying to
fend himself off from the ships side.
But it was no go, and the port pro-
peller blades just carved him into bits.
On our homeward voyage we re-
ceived word again by wireless that
there were Zeppelins at sea. We did
not believe this and it proved to be
untrue. But there were other stories
and taller ones, told us by one of the
wireless operators, that some of the
garbies believed. This chap was the
real original Baron Munchausen when
it came to EARNING, and for while he
had me going too. He would whisper
some startling tale to us and make us
promise not to tell, as he had picked
it from some other ships message, and
the Old Man would spread-eagle him
if he found it out. They probably
would have logged him. at that, If they
had known he was filling us full of
wind the. way he did.
He told me one time that Henry
Ford had invented something or other

for a periscope-tins, barrels, spars.
Dead horses generally float in the
water with one foot sticking up, and
we gave the alarm many time when
it was only some old nag on his way to
Davy's locker.
On the Cassard the Old Man posted
a reward of 80 francs for the first man
who sighted periscope. This was
good idea, but believe ME he would
have had trouble making the award,
for every man on the ship would be
sure to see it at the same time. Each
man felt sure he would be the man to
get the reward. The 14-pounders were
loaded and ready for action on sec
ond's notice. But the reward was
never claimed.

Martial Law.

Martial law is not a law at all in the
usual sense of that term: ii is really
the abrogation Of law. 1t is an order
that supersedes civil law, and is EN-.
ployed in time of extreme peril to the
state or municipality from without or
within, when the general safety can
not be trusted to the ordinary admin
istration of government, or the public
welfare demands the adoption and ex.
ecution of extraordinary measures.

Opinion is divided as to whether or
cot the courts viii sustain the in
come tax on the salary of the presi-
dent and federal judges. Some very
ridiculous arguments were made about
this tax. For instance, it was claimed
that the independence of the execu-
tive ard judiciary were endangered
by it as an adverse congress could tax
them into submission. An adverse
congress desiring to coerce the execu-
tive or judiciary by such means could
finc shorter cut by refusing to appro-
rriate the salaries of these officials.
Before any congress could coerce
either the executive or the judiciary
20 any extent it is quite likely the
people would displace that congress
with one having more sense.

Probably the most astounding thing
the Germans of higher intellige nee
have encountered is the manner
in which this country has gone
into war. They never believed it was

Just why they could not bark back to
Civil war days and see how a divided
nation raised two armies Of great fight
ing material is a mystery. The Ger
mans have made other errors. First
they did not believe this country would
go to war; and second they did not be-
lieve we could put an army in Europe.
They had some reason to believe we
would not go to war for the pacif1st
sentiment was very strong. Then the
Germans were misled by the pro-Ger-
man element in this country. They
believed that the Germans in the Unit
ed States would have nerve enough to
revolt and counterfeit the efforts of
this country TO be effective on the side
Of the allies. They had reason to en-
terrain such ideas, but events show
how mistaken they were. IF there con-

time popularized himself with those

time wasting paper in many ways.

dearly for the war and if famine does

The belief is growing that gov
eminent ownership of railroads, and
of the teIegraphs and telephones
as well, has come to stay. While
there may be many arguments for
and against the policy, the most
potent factor will be the votes of q
CG0,000 men employed in the railroad
service whose wages have been in
creased since the government took
over the roads. 1t is true that the in
creases did not come out of the reVe-
Mes of the railroads, but are made up
out of the federal treasury. No one
knows better than these railroad en-
pIoyees that to return the railroads TO
private control and management will
mean a reduction of their wages; the
feet that the wage increases come out
of the treasury rather than the earn
iLgs of the roads is a sufficient not-
ficatiOn to the railroad men as TO what
will happen if the roads are returned
&c their former status. These 20OO,-
600 railroad men will vote to have the
L-operties remain under government
ccntrol; they will vote for men who
will favor government ownership.
1t is quite likely that the owners of
the properties will also be satisfied to
have the government continue in con-
troll. They are new guaranteed the

French army, who commanded a num-

cent allied advance. When Congress-
man Butler was visiting divisional
headquarters General Degoutte hand
ed him the order, expressly requesting
that it be read to the house of repre-
sentatives in order that members might
know in what high esteem the Ameri-
can soldiers are held by their French
brothers in arms. Butler translated the
order, which proved to be strong trib-
ute to the Yanks' valor, and after 1t
was read the house arranged to send
General Degoutte an engrossed COPY

One of the prominent government Of
ficials told story the other day which
is worth repeating. An old colored
man whom the official knew had 500
Liberty bond which some one wanted
to buy from him for 500. But the old
darky was wise. Why, he asked, should
he give up one promise of the United
States government to pay him 500
with interest in exchange for the same
governments promise to pay him 500,
without interest? If everybody who
purchases a Liberty bond would stop
and think calmly before selling it be-
low par. he could not help but see that
the old negro had the right idea. Both
the bond and the currency are govern
ment promises and one is backed up by
exactly the same security as the other
the honor and resources of the Unit
ed States.
