New York. March 22.--pricc move-

declines, nor was there apparently any

Most Of the Developments Of the

Of bearish composition. Among these
was the strike order of the United line

the possibility OF another chill in the
precedent set by the Great Northern
board last week in changing the divi.

settling elements caused hating ten =
dency rather than producing actual
weakness. which was more surprising
! In view Of the evidence OF increasing
aggressiveness on the part Of the bear
element and the virtual consensus that
the market was ripe for moderate

LIVE CHICKENS FOR MARKET
Fowls Will Often Net Shippers az
Much as When Dressed-Slatted
Crates Are Best.

Poultry of all kinds can be shipped
alive and will often net the shipper as
much as when dressed, says the United
States Department of Agriculture.
For shipping live. poultry to market
well constructed, Slated crates are
desirable, as these crates provide for
ventilation. Overcrowding Is to be
avoided. and if large crates are used
they should have partitions to prevent
the birds from being thrown together
at one end when the crate is tipped in
handling. If possible, ship only one
variety in coop or in one division of
coop.

FARM BUILDINGS NEED CARE
Good Paint viii Lensthen Years Of
Frame Observation-Disclosures
ls Essential.

Farmers have for years wrestled
with and solved more or less salts
factorily the various feed problems
presented by their occupation. They
have had to deal with the question
of the balanced ration in hog feed,
dairy COW feed, horse feed, chicken
feed and even plant food.
And now appears on the farmers
horizon scientist who tells him that
even his buildings must be nourlshed !;
that house, barn, or outbuilding
that is kept painted with good paint
will last over hundred years; where
as, an implanted one viii fall to pieces
in ten years; thatNa neglected build
ing dies just as surely as horse or
COW that has nothing to eat.
The argument is logical from a
scientific standpoint, and 1t behooves
farmers to attend to the proper nour-
ishment of their buildings, for we all
know that the cost of rebuilding and
Of repairs is almost prohibitive now

Pork is one of the most widely used
meats. In China, for example, pork is
the staple flesh food; in this, country
1t constitutes large part of the meat
used in the farming districts. Natu-
rally where hogs are slaughtered on
the farm use is made Of all cuts of
the pork; but persons who purchase
meat from the markets are likely to
limit their selection to chops, roasts,
ham and bacon.
The following suggestions made by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture may be Of help both to those
who buy their pork at the market and
to the farmers who may be glad to
secure greater variety in the use Of
their home product.
There is RIO marked difference in
the tenderness of the different cuts
of pork, but the meat from the fore
quarter is somewhat coarser grained
than that of the loin and hams and
the proportion Of fat to lean is greater.
Shoulders well-trimmed and smoked
are satisfactory to use in place of ham.
If offered at price low enough to
offset the larger amount Of bone
which they contain The thick end
of the shoulder is known as the Bos-
ton butt. Shoulders are sometimes
boned. rolled and smoked. Since there
is practically no waste to this cut, the
real cost can readily be estimated.
Smoked hams and shoulders are COM
monty boiled, but both are excellent
when baked, fried or broiled.
No matter what the method Of prep
aration. all pork should be thoroughly
cooked.
Baked Smoked Ham or Shoulder.
Wash the ham or shoulder well.
cover with cold water and simmer for
about three hours for medium-sized
ham, about Is minutes per pound
when followed by baking. Allow it to
cool in the broth or remove at once,
trim Off the brown crust and remove
the skin. Smear the surface well
with brown sugar. stick it literally
with cloves, using perhaps one to each
square inch. Bake for two hours in

brown the fat side well. Serve either
hot or cold

Ing hook and butt ends may be placed

a whole ham.
Chops, Steaks and Roasts.
For broiling and frying, chops and
steaks are cut from the ribs, the loin,
or from fresh hams if preferred, while
larger portions Of these cuts are used

l0F INTEREST TO
THE HOUSEWIFE

Dull files are sharpened when laid in
dilute sulphuric acid.
Use gelatin Immediately after dis
solving for ice cream.
When fresh meat begins to sour
place 1t outdoors over night.
Wipe an oil stove with creased
cloth to keep the enamel clean.
Silk underwear should always be
Numbered with very cool iron.
The business man keeps careful
record of his expenses and income.
SO does the careful housewife.
Save all cloth sugar and salt bags !;
the various sizes come in handy in
different ways. The smaller ones can
be used for bread crumbs or noodles
and the larger for straining jellies.
When rolls, are to be heated, leave
them In the bag in which they were
bought and, twisting II up tightly, put
1t In the oven. They will become as
soft and fresh as when first baked.

Of what material they are made,

8. Many Of the pigs are far

4. A good dry bed, changed
often, makes up for lot Of 9TH
er imperfections. Plan to have

at all times.
5. Contrary to popular belief,
hogs cannot thrive in filth.
Avoid manure piles, dusty stalls,
and stagnant pools. Probably
more trouble with pigs starts
with sucking a sow that has
been lying in a stagnant mud
hole than from any other cause,
unless it be dusty pens.
g. Plenty Of clean water
should be handy at all times, for
the pig drinks often If he has
the chance.

times on the farm and cheaper

HOGS WILL EAT ALFALFA HAY
Several Experiment Stations Have
Tested 1t and Found It to Be
Most Excellent Feed.

Hogs will eat a limited amount of al.
falfa hay after becoming used to it.
Several state agricultural experiment
stations have tested this out. In al
most every case the addition of alfalfa
to a grain ration reduced the cost Of
gains and improved the condition of
the hogs. AT one station the best ra-
ton found for fattening hogs was
corn and alfalfa in the ratio of nine
to one. Alfalfa is an ideal feed for
brood sows, and there is less trouble
with hog diseases when it is fed lib

as roasts. On the farm the backbone
and spareribs are cut with large al
lowances Of tender meat attached,
quite different from the closely
trimmed bones offered for sale under
these names. In some markets, espe-
eially at the holiday season, the car
casses Of very young pigs are offered
for sale. These are to be roasted

French fried onions are excellent
with pork chops. They are made by

Apple sauce or stewed dried apples

There Is no reason why the liquor
from fresh boiled pork should not be

improves the flavor.
