Dry Cure Compared with Sweet
Pickle or Brine Cure-There are two
methods of curing pOrk-the dry cure
and the sweet pickle or brine cure.
The dry cure is preferred, as it is SIM
pier and requires less handling of the
meat. The sweet-pickle or brine cure
is not advocated in the south in view
of the uncertain temperatures. Dry
cured meat improves with age and is
better several months after it is
smoked. Irrespective of the curing
method used, it is advisable before cur
ing to rub the surface of the meat with
fine salt and allow it to drain, flesh
side down, for from six to IL hours
DryCured Pork - For each 100
pounds of meat use
pounds salt
21a pounds molasses, sirup or sugar
2I2 ounces saltpeter
8 ounces black pepper
2 ounces red AA4at4A.4z--
(Note: Some persons who have had
experience in curing meat under
southern conditions say this formula
should contain an extra pound of salt.
However, this amount seems to give
satisfaction)
Mix the ingredients well. Rub the
mixture over the meat thoroughly and
pack it away in a barrel, box, or on a
table. About the third day break the
bulk and repacl1 to insure thorough
contact with the cure mixture. Then
allow the meat TO remain until the
cure is completed, This viii take two
days in cure for each pound that the
individual pieces of meat weigh; for
example. Il 10-pound ham will take 20
days. After the meat has been cured
hang it in the smokehouse without
washing. When the meat is packed in
tight barrels the liquid formed will aid
in curing the heavier pieces of meat,
which should be at the bottom. Some
persons attempt to use this formula
without the saltpeter, but the result
will not be satisfactory. The saltpeter
should by no means be omitted.

SERIOUS DISEASE
OF CITRUS TREES
Gunmosis Can Be Treated by Remov.
ing Dead Bark and Applying
Antiseptic.

Gummosis is a disease OF the bark
and the injuries appear chiefly on the
trunks and larger branches of bear
ing trees. Attacks of this disease
are often serious on all commercial
varieties of citrus trees.
1t is easily recognized by the scaly,
liberated areas formed in the bark
with which are associated more or less
gum flow. The progress of the dis
ease is up and down the affected limb
or branch with a continued recurrence
and apparent healing of the disease
-Irithin the afE-@tad.-araa-----
The treatment for gummosis as rec
commended by the Florida experiment
station, consists in removing all dead
and diseased bark down. to the healthy
wood, and applying some antiseptic
such as carbolineum, pine tar, or white
lead to prevent a reinfestation of the
exposed tissue.
In groves where the disease is trou-
blesome the trunks of the trees should
be painted one or two times a year
with a concentrated solution of lime
sulphur, consisting of one part lime
sulphur to 10 to Is parts of water.
Badly infested trees should be cut
down and destroyed or the infested
parts removed, where possible to do
so. In case their production is enough
to warrant keeping them the diseased
areas should be covered with a lime
sulphur wash or Bordeaux paste to
prevent any possible spread to unaf-
fected trees.

Roard Plans Activities.

Rock Island county Home Bu-
reau executive board met yesterday
morning in monthly session in the
advisers office in Rock Island and
some important business was
transacted
The business was largely routine,
to begin with, although one import
ant matter was appointment OF the
nominating committee to prepare a
slate for the annual meeting in
October, this committee to work
during July. meet with the board
in August, and have the tickets
ready to be published in the Bull
letin Of Sept. /, in order that all
units of the county may be fully
and intelligently prepared for the
big annual meeting, which all
members should attend.
Bills were allowed and the incl
dent discussion brought out the
fact that memberships are now due
and should be paid at once to the
treasurers of the various units or
sent direct to the county treasurer,
Mrs. o. H. Dodge, Moline. The sec
ond year of Rock Island county
Home Bureau began with July /
and while block membership dues
have been paid, not many individ-
ual memberships have been re-
ceived.
There was informal discussion OF
the organization Of Home Bureau
Federation, for which there is 3
movement in the state, with the
probability of a national organiza
ton to follow.
: A new department has beer
formed at headquarters. that o
/, house furnishing, and Miss Mabe
Wilkerson, former assistant stat,
leader, will be the department spe
cialist. This will cover interio
decoration and every branch O
house furnishing and since Mis-
Wilkerson has had commercial ex
,perience along this line, as vel
as her training at the university a
a house-furnishing specialist, mucl
interest is shown by her friends.
The plan is to have three or fou
demonstration homes throughou
the county. and already one HON
