Vermont Dried Beef.

I'm sure twould give the world relief
To know our rule for drying beef;
For forty years we cured our meat
With Jest the same, by Gosh! receipt;
To know the good results we got
Might help the world quite lot;
A better product never yet
Was on a dotted dolly set
The preacher ct so much that Dad,
more than once, looked kinder mad.
To turn the trick without default
You take a quart of rocky salt,
Two spoons of saltedpeter, mind,
You get the skull and crossbones kind,
OF Orleans sweetness jest cup,
And mix the three proportions up;
You then produce five hams of beef,
Or six if you had jest as lief,
And have EN- trimmed by light of day
And all the grstle cut away.
Then get the old big wooden bowl
The one the Gypsies almost stole
And fit the haminy hunks IN nice,
Like pickles that you pack IN spice,
And when they lay there calm and still,
A'subject to your sovereign will,
You pour your mixture all around
And make wish, but not SOUND,
And then you set the bowl a-where
A handy step will take you there.
And then the strangest things begin
| The juice runs out. the cureall in;
| A sort OF intltration starts
| Retwixt the mixed and meaty parts,
| md first you know there amt sign
! Of SALT or anything but brine;
! Your hasty pudding paddle then
You take little after ten
Each second day, and stir, the brew
| And turn each elod a turn or two.
| In Jest three weeks, or fonr, or less,
4 Depending on the ''patroness,
The brine is all absorbed away
Or. as household bard might say,
"The sea subsidies and leaves reef
OF good old solid home dried beef"
Each piece all right to be astrung
And in the backroom chamber hung
The finest eating here below,
The supreme substance mortals know
Daniel l.. Cady.

Sale of Government Cotton
Goods Not Disturbing Factor

Business in cotton textiles yesterday
was extremely light. Many of the lead
ing houses in the white goods district
wcrc closed for the day, and in others
the attention OF the working forces
was devoted to the shaping up of de-
tails Inquiries as to the probable re
suits Of the forthcoming government
sale Of surplus cottons elected the
statement that no unfavorable inhu-
encc on the general market was antici-
pated. 1t was contended that as there
is a virtual famine in supplies, with
large export orders pending, the War
Departments offerings would be read
lily absorbed either by spectators or
traders who will dispose of the goods
to the final purvcyors.
so far most of the high grade sur
plus fabrics that have been submitted
to the trade by the government have
been taken up at full prices Even
heavy weight duck demand for which
has Jagged, has brought prices on a
par with those quoted by the primary
sellers. Mill men say that the market
ing of this fabric has furnished one of
the best tests that could be had to re.
fleet the stability of present conditions
in the textile trades. Especially favor
able comment was made over the price
of 37h cents which recently was OBJ

Subsidy Suggested to Revive
Cold Mining in Australia

movement for the granting on one
pound sterling an ounce on all gold
produced in Australia is gaining head
way, according to A. w. Ferrin, United
States Trade Commissioner, who re-
ports that the decline in the gold min
ing industry Of that country has be-
come one of the most pressing prob
lens of the government Other pro-
posals include the ''grubs stalking" of re-
turned soldiers to prospect the unex-
plored central and northern portions of
the commemorative territory and gov
ernment loans to mining companies.
The chief argument Of the advocates
of q bounty or subsidy and the reten-
ton OF government restrictions is
based upon the great amount of Com
monwealth paper money in circulation,
approximately $500 100000, against
which is held a reserve of only little
over 100000 in gold. The national
notes act of 1910 stipulates that all
notes issued above 100000 shall be
balanced by gold pound for pound. The
legal reserve on notes up to St 900 900
(S34 ,OS5, ,00O) is 25 per cent. Many
fnanciers believe that the government
should continue its control of the gold
market until the notes issued above
$1,000 900 are covered by 100 per cent
gold as required by the law of 1910
The year 1903 was a record one for
gold production, with yield valued at
S79, ,192,164, from which time the pro-
duction has been steadily declining un-
til in 1917 it was less than 40 per cent
Of the 1903 record. In ten months of
1918 the production of the Common
wealth, exclusive Of the northern ter
ritOry, was only $22,163.7OO.

English Cotton Credit

Leading bankers denied yesterday
that any definite steps had been taken
toward arranging large acceptance
credit here in favor of certain British
cotton manufacturing interests. 1t had
been reported that credit of 81 ,OOO,-
100000 was under consideration. 1t is
fact, however, known to the local cot
ton trade for several weeks, that the
English cotton spinners would like to
get long-term credits in the United
States to pay for their raw cotton pur-
chases. BY obtaining such credits they
would get around the uncertain sterling
exchange situation which is proving
costly to all English buyers of Ameri-
can commodities. One of the main
difficulties, of course, in the way of
arranging long-term acceptance credits
is that if the bills are made to run
more than ninety days they are not
eligible for rediscount at the Federal
Reserve Banks. Without the redis-
count feature the bills are not attrac-
tive to the majority of the banks here
and it is a question whether they could
be sold on that basis. Plans are said
to be under way to have the Federal
Reserve authorities make special rul-
ing permitting the renewal of credits
of this character. and still keeping
them eligible for rediscount.

Copper Surplus Sold
By War Department
One Hundred Million Pounds
Disposed OF in Four Months,
Saws Morse

WASHINGTON, July 26.-One hun
dred millions pounds of surplus cop
per have been sold at prevailing mar
ket prices in the last four months, E.
c. Morse, assistant sales director of
the War Department.. told the House
investigating committee to-day. The
United Metals Selling Company,
created to dispose Of this surplus and
representing 95 per cent of the cop
per producers, was the purchaser.
Secretary Bakers instructions last
winter, Mr.. Morse said, were chat
copper be withheld only to see if an
agreement could be reached with the
producers, and if not to sell in short
time as best we could"
The contract, Morse admitted, might
permit the producers to sell emong
themselves, and by so doing make a
large volume of sales and low mar
kct. The stocks, however, he said,
went to consumers.
Mr.. Morse said labor organizations
had urged that surplus metal be with
held from the market, as wages were
based on market price, and that the
selling company sought to have it
withheld for six months after the
armistice was signed, but in April cor
tracted to buy the surplus. The volume
of sales made possible early DISPOSE
ton, it was said.
