To aid the young housewife in un-
derstanding the different requirements
of each variety of cured meat, the
bureau has issued a statement which
goes into some detail, as follows:
THE two most common curing proc
esses are sweet picking and dry salt
ing. For sweet picking the meat is
put in brine which contains sugar and
is kept there for period Of about
four days to the pound of meat, or
so days for a 15-pound ham. The
brine preserves and the sugar, along
with changes developed in the meat
itself, gives flavor. Usually, a little
saltpeter is added to keep the red
color. The dry salt method Is to rub
salt and molasses or salt and sugar
sirup and a little saltpeter into the
surfaces of the meat and pack the
pieces away. For this cure, only about
two days to the pound Of meat is
necessary. Most cured meat is also
smoked to add flavor and for this
purpose it is put in a smoke house
with a fire of green hickory or maple
wood-not pine nor other resinous
woods, because they give an undesir-
able flavor.
1.-THE sugar-cured ham of the mar
kets Is sweet-pickled ham. This
Is the usual method in the big packing
houses and on the farms in the North.
Old Virginia ham or just old ham is
quite a different product. It is dry
cured, smoked and aged or ripened
at room temperature for a year or
preferably longer. The little town Of
Smithfield, Va, made such hams IA
nous many years ago and one of the
big meat-packing firms now has a
plant there turning out Smithfleld
hams as speciality. Only the prod
uct actually cured in Smithfield is
legally entitled to the name of Smith
field ham. But anywhere in Virginia,
Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina
and the South generally hams cured
the Smithfeld way are to be had
under the name, usually. Of old ham.
Pork shoulders, bacon. corned beef
and dried beef are all cured and
smoked in much the same way as the
sugar -cured ham. Salt pork, however,
is dry salted and is not smoked And
dried beef is dried in addition to the
curing and smoking Smoked sausage
is only lightely cured and lightly
smoked. and should be kept in re-
frigerator until Used. Some Of the

liked by those who know him. The
first OF these Is the basic fact that he
who would have friends must be
friendly. He must wear the welcon.
ing smile and extend the glad hand.
He must put away arrogance and ego-
tiSm. He must meet people halfway
instead Of expecting them to make all
the advances. A man might have
every charm and virtue on earth; bus
If he never mingled with the crowd
nobody would find 1t out. The world
is too full Of rm-hearted people to
make anybody think 1t worthwhile to
thaw out human icicle.

THE next thing the student Of the
art of friendship should be taught
is to play fair and to play the other
fellows game. There has to be give
and take in friendship and good
craftsmanship. Those who try to boss
the show and make everybody do their
way, and who take their dollrags and
go home If they don't, are soon left 20
flock by their lonesome.
Next the student of the art Of
friendship must be taught that you
have to work at the lob Of keeping
friends. You have to keep stoking the
furnace to keep the fire burning. You
have to remember birthdays and an
niversaries. You have to go to your
friends in their sorrows and rejoice
with them in their successes Many
and many friendship dies Of neglect
just because letter wasn't written
or bunch Of flowers sent.
Next the student Of the art Of
ship is not graft. Because a person
Is your friend gives you no right to
impose upon him and to borrow his
money and use his car and descend
upon him on unlimited visits. There
is nothing that does so much to con-
serve friendship as a little formality
and a decent regard for personal
rights. There is nothing so true as
the old saying that when you lend
money to friend you lose both the
money and the friend.
These and many other things, such
as not being monopolistic In your
friendship: being a listener rather
than a talker; according your friend
the personal liberty you demand for
yourself. could all be taught to the
students Of the art of friendship, and
it would add immeasurS5ly to their
happiness to possess such knowledge.

can think of no branch Of human
knowledge of which people generally
are 50 ignorant as they are of how
to make themselves persona grata to
their fellow creatures, nor is there any
information that is so necessary for
them to possess. For upon our ability
to make and keep friends depends not
only our happiness but our success in
life. A man may have the riches Of
the Indies, but if he has no friends
he has nothing. He is spiritual pau
per. No man has the strength to
climb the ladder alone. He is boosted
I'D 1t by the hands Of his friends.
The eternal cry Of every heart Is
for friendship. None Of us are suffl-
cient to ourselves. We must have
comradeship. Some one who, knowing
us for what We are, loves us still. Some
one whose eyes always brighten at
our coming and to whom we can talk
endlessly about the little things that
concern us. Some one who is not
bored by having to listen to the cute

Ing. directly or indirectly, to fit
out the great Cunard- White Star
liner Queen Mary.
This statement was made here
by Lord Inverclyde, when he for
mally opened an exhibition of a
model of the liner.
Lord Inverclyde indicated that the
Queen Mary's size was not dictated
by an effort to surpass that of any
any other ship.
Owing to the amazing develop
ments in naval architecture and
marine engineering, 1t has been
found possible" he said, for two
vessels of sufficient speed and size
to maintain regular weekly service
between Southampton, Cherbourg,
and New York. The Queen Mary
and her contemplated sister ship
represent the smallest and slowest
which could fulfill the conditions
and keep up such a service.

potash, a root system that will
carry the plant over periods of
weather stress in good order.
Mulching with wheat straw, salt
hay or even pine needles, which
are plentiful in most sections, will
be found profitable and is of vital
Importance. 1t will keep the soil
cool which is most desirable with
a plant as shallow roofing as
Strawberries, and will prevent
splashing of sand or other soil on
the fruit from hard showers result
ing in clean attractive fruit which
commands much better prices. The
package in which the fruit is ship
ped to market is of great import
ance. 1t has been customary for
years to ship in crate containing
80 to so quarts. Today the prac-
tical package contains 16 to "a
quarts. The smaller package is
much easier to handle and less sub
ject to shakeup and damage
Further. the trade that wants fancy
fruit much prefers smaller pack
age. In my judgment, the fu-
ture holds much for the market
grower of strawberries, if he will
do the little important things and
grow the right varieties. and right
varieties at our place means Dor
sett and Fairfax after most prof
