cure all the larger pieces. The reason
for this is that the smaller pieces will
shrink considerably, and, If dry-cured,
leave only comparatively small por-
tion of meat.
Dry-cured meat is better for future
use than the brine-cured and means
less work. Danger from rats and
other yermin is less in the case OF
brine-cured meat. Both methods Of
curing will be successful if care is
taken to see that each operation IS
properly executed. Following is the
method of dry-curing.
For each 100 pounds of meat, use:
7 pounds salt, 3 pounds of sugar or
sirup, 2 ounces saltpeter, 2 ounces red
pepper, 2 ounces black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly,
then rub. the mixture over the meat
well and pack it away in box or on

PATRoNlzE HOME INDUSTRIES

Many OF our citizens are hoping and
predicting that Brookings will more
than double in population in the next
ton years In order. to bring this
about two things, at least, are neces-
sary; more houses will have to be
built and we must be more loyal in
the matter OF patronizing home mer-
chants and home industries. A large
proportion of the money sent to other
centers for goods that can just as well
be procured at home, Is taking that
much from the rapid upbuilding of
the city. We are sure that com
parison of costs Of many articles that
are purchased away from home when
compared with the quality OF the arti,
cles themselves will show that not
much, IL anything. is saved in the
transaction, II the matter of cash or
credit is considered Many of our mer-
chants, we are sure, will be glad to
compare prices with catalogue prices
and make discounts for cash, just the
same as is done in dealing with the
jobbers. This is worth trying in JUS
tice to the home dealers. Then there
is the question of some consideration
for overhead expenses. Our merchants
and property owners along Main street
have beer at heavy expense during
the. last year for paving and putting
the street in fine condition for public
use. II person does not patroniZe
home merchants and home industries, /
how can he reconcile his free use of
the pavement for joy-riding when he
has not contributed anything either
or indirectly towards the cost !
of the street improvement. II our
home merchants had all OF the trade
they are entitled to and their volume
Of business were increased, overhead
expenses remaining the same, and
here were no losses due to bad ac-
counts, they could come nearer CON-
,eting with outside firms who have

10 make provision for improving the
gap between the two The importance
of this connecting stretch OF highway
is often overlooked and its influence
on the business life and welfare OF
the city ignored.
The farmer driving to town with his
load OF farm produce and the retail
delivery man with his load of mer.
chand.se are limited in the size OF
the load they can carry by the poorest
stretch of road over which they must
haul. No matter how good the roads
may be at either end of an unim-
proved section. the farmer may be
isolated frim his market and the bust.
ness man cut off from many of his
customers IL that part OF their traffic
surface between the paved country
highway at the city limits and the
paved city street is impossible.
Farmers can we'll afford to haul
their produce to a more distant mar
ket IL the roads to ii are in first-class
condition. With motor trucks being
used extensively for marketing, the
additional time required to haul few
more miles over good roads is as moth
ing compared TO the expense of a trip
over only short distance of muddy
or rutted road. Business will follow
the paved road, and the city that
neglects its connections with main
travelled country highways will find
itself isolated and its business di-
verted to neighboring city that has
been more alive to its opportunities.
Some states have made special pro-
vision for the improvement of these
stretches of road. The Washington
highway law provides that "arterial"
streets, connecting at the city limits
with any public road not less than
two miles long and constructed along
a main line of gravel, may be paved
by the county. 1t provides further
that so much of the cost of such i'm
proVement as shall be of special bene-
mt shall be a change upon the bene-
fited district, and that so much of the
cost of such improvement as shall not
be charged to the benefited district
shall be divided equally between the

HOW TO USE MUTTON

III you live in the country and Won,
family likes mutton but is inclined f.
grow tired OF it before a whole carcass
can be utilized, why not cure and
smoke the legs and shoulders? Manv
farmers hesitate to kill a sheen =,
iamb because the family tires of il or
part of the meat spoils before the
ehtire carcass is consumed.
BY curing and smoking a part of tho
carcass may be used as fresh meat and
the remainder used at later date,
Farm-killed lamb or mutton Is usu.
ally one of the cheapest and at the
same time one of the most wholesome
or meats, but it has never been served
so extensively on the country table
as in the city. One reason for ths
doubtless, has been lack of KNOWLEDGE
OF now to preserve, when cold-stora se
laclilties were unobtainable. the mut-
ton which could not be eaten fresh
before it spoiled.
Inc farmer who slaughters two
lambs or mature sheep in place of one
OF the hogs that he usually butchers
at home, and who cures the shoulders
and legs can provide the family table
with meat variety at little cost and
trouble.
Lamb or mutton is as easily cured
and smoked as is pork and produces
product similar to ham. The cured
meat can be cooked in any or all cf
the ways that cured pork shoulders
and hams are cooked. and adds variety
to the farm table.
Ihe hrst essential in curing is to
make sure the meat is thorough,v
cooled. Meat should never be frozen
either prior to or during the period of
curing. The proper time to begin
curing is when the meat is thoroughly
cooled and still fresh. Twenty-four to
thirty-six hours after killing is the
opportune time.
Many different formulas may be used
for curign mutton by the brine method
but the recipe given below, il followed
closely. will give good results.
For each 100 pounds of meat use
pounds salt, 2k pounds sugar or
sirup. ounces Of saltpeter. Az gallons
