BAKED HAM

ne bureau fOI I1OHlS GCOuO1n1CS,
U. S. Department of Agriculture,
suggests the following as good
method Of preparing and eoaling
ham, whether it is to be served hot
or cold: Select 9 to 10 pound ham
and scrub it thoroughly. If it is
very salty, soak it overnight. Allow
at least one quart of boiling water
to each pound of ham, or enough to
completely cover it. Place it in the
hot water and, for this sized ham,
add one carrot sliced. two stalks of
celery. one teaspoon of celery salt,
three sprigs parsley, one onion sliced
two or three bay leaves, and one-half
cup strong vinegar. Cover, and then
simmer for four or five hours, count
ing the time from the beginning Of
the simmering period. Twenty-Five
minutes tosthe pound will be approxi-
nnately right. Test by using skewer,
or a fork, with long tines. Turn the
ham so it will cook evenly on both
sides. Add more hot water as the
liquor evaporates. The ham should
be covered with water during the
entire cooking period. After it is
tender, let it stand overnight in the
liquor CT, if you wish to serve it hot.
remove the skin at once, wait until
the surface of the ham is cool, then
cover with the following mixture:
3 cups brown sugar, 8 cups fisae, soft
bread crurfb, "a teaspoon mustard,
cider or vinegar to moisten. Mix these
ingredients, and spread over the top
of the ham until entirely covered.
Press long-stemmed whole cloves
into the coated fat, at intervals. These
help to hold on the paste, and also
to season the fat. Place the ham
in hot oven to form crust quickly,
then reduce the temperature and haste.
frequently with a mixture of ham
liquor and cider lc,- vinegar, until the
ham is evenly Drowned.
Irrigated sections of Washington
are fortunate in having such a small
percentage of allxali soil, especially
when one considers the large amount
of land under irrigation. says Profess
sor F. ]. Sievers, head of the de-
partment of soils. Cooperating with
H. F. Holtz, associate in soils, and
c. c. Wright, irrigation specialist,
Professor Sewers recently made
thorough study Of, soil conditions in
the state. 4St fe
Much of the alkai bearing soils
were found in the Yakima valley"
Sievers reports. "They may be de-
vided into two groups, saline and aka
line. The former is a soil containing
abnormal quantities of water soluble
salts and the latter a soil containing
appreciable quantities of replaceable
bases, chiefly sodium.
"At least two harmful results may
come from an excess of alkali salts.
1t may accumulate in amounts beyond
the tolerance Of crop plants and it
may cause soils to become puddled
and impermeable to the penetration
of irrigation water.
"Most Of the alkaline soil in Wash
ington is thought to be of the saline
or less serious type, containing a
large amount of IsolubI. calcium.
If preventive methods, guarding
against alkali accumulation, are put
into practice, the irrigated regions
Of this state should never experience
mu>h of an alkcli problem.

 "When the church brought me to trial for heresy." he asserted, "it discovered that every bishop. indeed every clergyman and every Chris tian, was a heretic; and if now the state were to bring me to trial for my seditious communism. think 1t would discover that every American is communist"

RETALIATION BODY
 ID HOLD MEETING
Wheeler Calls Session for Tues
 day Evening
PLANS FOR MEMORIAL DAY
May Make Change in Storm Water sewer-Dusty League Game To- night-All- Plainvilles Have Two Games-AuXiliary Whist-Bricfs.

A meeting of the committee on revaluation of taxable property will be held in the town hall on Tuesday evening, the call having been issued by Chairman Frank T. Wheeler. At the last meeting of this body Ozra l. Cooley was requested to prepare an estimate of the probable cost of revaluing property by the use of a card index system but without a complete survey of the town. He will report Tuesday night. The plan was originally suggested by First Selectman John J. Kimmcl, chair man of the board of assessors. Another plan, proposed by En- gineer Joseph N. McKernan and calling for survey of the town. will also be considered.
 Memorial Day Plans Full Memorial Day plans have not yet been made public but the ob- servance of the day will be similar to those in the past. Early in the , cemetery will be decorated. At S;30 o'clock the eX-service men and others who will parade will gather at Legion hall. and at o'clock they will march to West cemetery. Ap- !, propriate services will be held at both burying grounds.
 May Change Sewer Route A change in the route of the
 storm sewer recently voted for at town meeting is ebing considered, 1 it being believed that the, original plan of putting it through the pass way near the Callen home on East street will be costly and difficult. Several pipe lines already are ur- der this passway, which is only ten | feet wide, and it is thought that an- other one would cause trouble. The town plan commission has request through the passway until Maple street is extended along it. and this seems likely to be dropped at pres ent.
 The new route suggested is through the school property, north of the high school and south of the Linden street school, then north on Linden to Milford and down that street to the Quinnipiac river. This would take the line through the middle of the athletic fields. The school board, it is understood, has given it's consent to such action.
 Weather Delays Building Building operations have been practically at standstill for the past two weeks here because of the Building Inspector Ozra l. Cooley has issued no permits for new work during this period.
 The rain is causing worry to the selectmen, who fear for the roads. 1 The rain is working through the surfacing and there is great dan- ger of it's breaking this up. Rain, combined with the constant attacks of wet tires on the roadways, makes formidable enemy for the town officials to count upon. It is not known yet just how much the streets have been affected by the downpour.
 No New Constablcs Yet Despite rumors regarding who will be appointed to fill the vacant places left by the resignation Of Constable Charles D. Orsie and the 1 busting of Constables Fred Callen and Andrew Hogan, nothing has becn done by the seloctmen in the matter. First Sclectman John J.
 Kimmel says that the board has not even considered the matter yet and

 The accident which occurred two miles north of the center on the main turnpike. was said to be un- ayoidable by witnesses and by Off, cer Frank Brown who was sum- noned to the scene.
