METHOD OF CURING
HAMS AND BACON

&OAAAS AAAORt
- lent quality throughout the
country and they may be produced
on the farms of Montana with lit
tie more difficulty than is required
in using the ordinary dry-cure or
brine-cure methods.
No matter what the method of
curing, the meat should be thor
oughly cooled before curing begins.
Ordinarily the body heat will have
left the meat in from "a to SO hours
and this is a good time to start the
cure. Precautions should also be
taken against waiting too long be-
fore curing. Freezing is to be
avoided during cold weather, and
in warmer days it is necessary to
guard against spelling.
In the Smithfield cure the hams
are placed in a large tray of fine
salt and the flesh surface sprinkled
with finely ground saltpeter. Salt
peter enough should be used to
make the surface of the meat al
most white. From four to six
ounces of saltpeter to each 100
pounds of meat will usually be suf-
ficient.
Following the application of
saltpeter the hams should be sprin-
killed. Immediately with fine salt,
care being taken that the salt COW
ers the entire surface. The hams
should then be piled in bulk, skin
side down. The piles should never
be more than three feet high.
The hams should be left in this
pile for three days under ordinary
conditions. Al the end of that time
the pile should be broken, the hams
carefully resulted and piled up
again. The hams should remain in
this pile one day for each pound.
Thus a 15-pound ham would re-
main in this pile for IS days, and
for this reason the larger hams
should be put at the bottom Of the
pile.
At the end Of the required time,
hams should be washed with tepid
water until surface traces of salt
have disappeared. The hams
should then be allowed to stand
until almost dry and then the sur
face should be rubbed with finely
ground black pepper.
Following the curing process the
meat is ready for the smoke house.
Smoking should continue slowly
and carefully for a period of from
80 to 40 days and then the hams
should be thoroughly rubbed with
ground black pepper, carefully
bagged and hung up in a dry place
away from rodents and insects.
Smithfield hams when properly
cured and smoked will keep for a
long time and are at their best
when a year old.

DAVIS DESIRES
TO QUIT MARCH 4
Presidentto Retain "Big Guns
of Administration
SEES BETTER SUPPORT
Endorsement Shows People Are Behind
Him; Jokes About wheat Manipu-
lation"-Likely To Receive
Support OF Congress.

Washington.-Pres Coolidge ex.
poets his present Cabinet to remain
intact with the possible exception Of
Secretary of Labor James ]. Davis, it
was stated officially at the White
House.
Mr.. Davis already has made known
his desire to retire on March 4 next
after four years of service, but the
President hopes he may be prevailed
upon to continue in office.
Mr.. Coolidge, it was made plain, has
given no consideration to replacing
members of his present Cabinet, be.
cause he anticipates no designations
The statements by the Presidents
spokesman corroborateds the forecast
that Mr.. Coolidge would retain the
big guns" of his present administra
ton to continue policies already estab
lished
The President himself, it was stated
officially, doubts he will be in his new
administration any different from the
man he has been during the last Is
months. AS he told friends he has
tried to be natural and unaffected in
administration of the Governments
business, and expects to continue so
Mr.. Coolidge hopes, however, that
some of those in the Government serv.
ice will be more inclined to agree
with him in the future than in the
past.
Backed by the overwhelming in.
dorsement at the polls, the President
feels he is more likely to receive sup
port than he was during the last
session of Congress.
This unprecedented Endorsement, in
the Presidents opinion, already has
stimulated business and private enter
prise.
1t has shown, he feels, the people
stand for the things for which he
stands: Namely, the maintenance OF
the American Government in its pres
ent form without impairing the indie
pendence Of the Judiciary and, the en-
NO0i oSOAhOAt Va pANotC CAtSl pl.o
rather than Government ownership.
Mr.. Coolidge recalled with amuse
ment the campaign charge that the
wheat and other markets were being
manipulated upward by persons inter
ested in bringing about his election
The price OF. wheat reached a new
high figure Tuesday, and he remarked
that either the campaign charge must
have been false or else his friends did
not know the election had been held
a week ago.
The President is giving careful con,
sideration to the appointment of sec.
rotary of agriculture to succeed the
late Henry C. Wallace. If he is unable
to reach a decision on a successor
within the next three weeks, it is like
ly he will appoint Acting Secretary
Gore to serve until March 4, when the
latter becomes Governor of West vir
ginia
Mr.. Coolidge also wishes to ex.
pedite the filling of vacancies on the
Federal Bench.

Governors Of the two States then will
issue proclamations stating the agree
ments and asking that they be OBJ
served without legal requirements,
just as Governor Richie asked gun
ners to keep out of the woods at the
opening of the hunting season on ac-
count of the fire hazard due to the dry
weather. Mr.. Earle said this procla-
nation had been observed by large
majority of sportsmen
Both Governor and Mr.. Earle and
Mr.. Lee deplored the present waste Of
oyster shells, which the, experts said
constitute the best possible clutch for
the young spat and are important in
maintaining the content Of lime In the
water, so the oysters may form shells.
1t was urged that, If the State has to
buy the shells, it would have first
chance at them.
1t was arranged that conference
be held between the United States
Bureau Of Fisheries and the authori-
ties of Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia on the conservation of bass
and other fresh water fish in the Po-
tomac River and its tributaries. The
date for the conference has not been
set.
Governor Trinkle was accompanied
by Mrs. Trinkle. They and Mr.. Lee
arrived at Annapolis Thursday after
noon In the Commodore Maury, flag
ship of the Virginia conservation fleet.
Governor Richie had not been ap-
praised of their coming at that time.
and he had gone to Philadelphia.
The Virginians were met by Ken
meth M. Burns, Governor Richie sec
rotary, and they inspected the Naval
Academy and spent 1.-THE night on the
Commodore Maury. They were
escorted to the Executive Mansion by
Lieut-Com. Philip Van Horn Weems,
Of the Naval Academy The confer
ence took place after buffet lunch
con. Mrs. Albert Richie, mother Of
the Governor; Mrs. Trinkle, Mrs.
Burns, Miss Mary E. Shearn, State
Librarian, and Miss Virginia Ellinger,
Of Governor Ritchie's secrtarial STAFF,
were at the luncheon.
Immediately after the conference
the Virginia party left on their boat
for home.S

.NAyy'S NEW TYPE
OF FLYING BOAT

INsURES AGAINST INVASION
Could Attack And Halt Enemy Ships
1000 Miles From Base, Is

INsURES AGAINST INVASION

Washington. = Steps to round cut
naval air armament to an extent
which may revolutionize basic STRAIT
egg were announced by the Navy De-
partment.
+ A contract has been let with COM
mercial company for a new type Of
Navy flying boat capable of a days
sustained fight at more than 100
miles an hour and with useful load
capacity of up to two tons. The other
planes, different in design, but with
the same elements of tremendous car
go space and cruising radius are to
be constructed at the Philadelphia
yard.
Regardless Of their attitude in the
omni-present controversy over often
siye value Of aircraft, Navy officers
are agreed that possession Of few
squadrons of flying boats of the type
contemplated would enable the United
States to embarrass seriously the sue
cess of any surprise attack coming
from long distance, If their mere
existence would not serve to prevent
such attempt.
Recent feet maneuvers have in
volved sudden enemy attack on the
Panama Canal, the outcome Ringing
largely upon the enemy's success in
establishing temporary base either
in Central America or upon some
n<o cfol ;cIopd r., tho lost txryo opp,,ol
tests the theoretical enemy gained his
object through failure of the defend
ing scouts to locate the advance
started prior to declaration of war
in time to permit the organization of
screen in its path. In each case,
the final conclusion of the reviewing
authorities stressed the necessity for
improving the "eyes and ears" of the
American command.
The new planes, with ability to hop
Off unsupported from San Diego for
Honolulu would be Invaluable as far
flung scouts in any critical period pre-
ceding an expected international
crisis. They would be able to main
tain touch with the enemy and, if
claims Of air service enthusiasts are
confirmed, could delay it materially by
, constant threat upon the enemy
train. The sinking of one or more
fuel ships or provision carriers would
be sufficient, some officers hold, to
force abandonment of any expedition
which was $50 to 1000 miles from
any available base.
Carrying a step further their an
alysis Of the effect of the new "fly-
ing squadron" some officers see in
them at least partial solution to the
problem which was raised when the
United States gave up under the arms
limitation treaties the right to forty
Guam and the Philippines.
