ing, while, water should be given free
", he advises. To allow the animal
heat to be completely removed, the hog
carcass should. be thoroughly cooled
out before freeing. The carcass may
be ready to cut from - to "a hours
after cooling.
Pieces intended for curing should be
trimmed carefully, the surfaces rub
bed with salt and packed away for "a
hours In the meantime the curing
material is made up ready. for use.
In the brine method for every 100
pounds of meat, take 10 pounds OF salt
pounds cane or brown sugar, 2 ounces
saltpeter, gallons water and boil.
Skim off material which rises to the
surface. Be sure it is completely lis
solved. Pack meat in barrels OF jars,
clean and free from odors Of any kind,
after rubbing with salt, skim surface
of meat towards the outside. Cure for
six to eight weeks or for bacon. three
days FOR each pound Of meat in the
average six pieces; a1.d hams three and
one half days for every pound Of
meat. When cured soak in water for
a few hours and scrub outside surfaces
with a stiff brush. Hang pieces for
drainage and drying before smoking.
Because pieces must be handled dur
ing the process of curing, the dry salt
method requires more labor than the
brine method. Take 8 pounds salt, 2
pounds cane or brown sugar, 2 ounces
saltpeter, mix thoroughly and take one
third of the mixture and pack in box
o. other receptacle. Break the box in
three days and use onehalf of tho re.
mainder of mixture and repHck. Cure
for six to eight weeks. Wash the dry
pieces before smoking, Smoke for st
to 40 hours, using cool smoke which
secures greater penetration.

"Said It with Milk"

Last year started going with a
farmer boy whose motto was not Say
it with flowers, candy or music" In
stead, it seemed to be, "Say it with
milk" Fresh milk was very hard to
get in the town where we lived, so
every time that he came to see me
he would bring two mason fruit jars
full Of milk and present them to me
with grin from ear to ear. 1t was
all right, until some of my friends
found it out and began to tease me
about it. This was more than I could
stand, but we surely did miss the

When, Mr.. Bowser reached his Office
ten minutes ahead of time the other
morning he found Theopulus, the office
boy. making an examination of one Of
the drawers Of his desk. Twice before
he had caught the boy at it, and took
him by the collar and shook him, and
said: .t
you young rascal you! If>I ever
catch you at this again, will break
your neck!''
- On this occasion Mr.. Bowser
smiled a fatherly smile and kindly
said:
'"Theopulus, you are arranging my
papers. You are good boy to put
in your extra time that way. I do
not think quite appreciated you in
the past, but shall in the future.
Here is a half-dollar for your extra
time and I shall raise your wages next
week. Il surely have prize in you!"
"But-but-but-" stammered Theop-
'ulus, more taken aback than as if he
had received a cuff on the ear.
"Oh, want no thanks" said MI.
'Bowser. II see a good boy when I
see you. Should any other Offices in
this building offer YOU four times what
Z am paying you, let me know, and
WIN give you more than they will. It
seems to me that you look tired and
exhausted. I do not wish to overwork
you. Take the morning paper and sit
down and read for couple of hours"
The look of amazement on the boys
faee was a study. He tried to say
Something. but no words would come.
He finally backed out of the room and
went down the hall, to where a chum
OF his was sitting on the window sill.
"Say," he whispered to the boy,
my old boss has become dangerous :"
"How. dangerous?'
"Why, he got here ahead Of time
this morning and he caught me looking
through his desk
"And he knocked one of your ears
of? 1 thought I heard you yell out
Let me see."
mo, he never touched me. He just
smiled and called me a good boy, and
gave me a haff-d0llar and said he was
going to raise my wages next week.
That's how dangerous he is. Wouldn't
you call that crazy?"
"Of course I would" replied the
boy. "You hadn't better be in there
alone. or he may rattle you. That's
the way with some lunatics. They
talk mighty soft to anyone, for spell,
