MUsSoLINI BARS THE NEWS

1t is hard to understand just exactly
what Premier Mussolini expects to gain by
breaking off journalistic relations with
Great Britain. By placing ban on the
distribution in Italy of all British news
papers except three and by recalling from
London all Italian correspondents the
Italian Dictator seems to think that he has
done something to Great Britain.
In these steps Mussolin has only fol-
lowed the example of other absolute gov
ernments although the effectiveness of his
program may be more complete Ger
tainly, it is plain that II Duce is anxious to
indicate his resentment of the attitude of
the English press toward Italys activity in
Ethiopia and Spain. 1t may be that he will
eventually be successful in preventing the
italian people from acquiring any informa-
ton whatever from the outside world but
so far as we can see, this will not hurt any
body except the Italians.

JUST 4 MINOR CAUSE OF DEATH

Statistics reliably inform US that pas
sengers on steam railroads are reasonably
safe but that fifteen times every day, at
grade crossings, which accidents occur one
third of the time result in death and aver
age three persons injured
In a month. it seems. some ITO Amer
leans give up their existence because they
either forget about trains and engines, or
else cant see them. More than 500 are
injured because they occupy the rails
when rolling stock has the right of way.
Trespassers. not included in the above
figures, shuttle off their mortal coils at the
rate of five day while sleeping, walking
or loafing between the iron ribbons which
the engines use.
Americans. it seems, are hardy race.
We pay little or no attention to speeding
automobiles which kill an average of a
hundred persons every "a hours and can
hardly be expected to cape with astonish-
ment as minor cause of death that snuffs
out only ten or twelve lives every time the
IN rises.

REWARD FOR DELINQUENCY
(Tampa Tribune)


Florida is putting a premium on delinquency
in tax payments. rather than on prompt and full
payment.
In, numerous instances, delinquent taxpayers
have been given liberal discounts Now bill in
the Legislature proposes to accept 10 cents on the
dollar for taxes due before 1880 and % cents
subae ..ont thereto.
A property actually save money
by not paying his taxes for number of years.
Well said is this from the Key West Citizen:
How about enacting law by which taxpayer
may have his taxes reduced by SO percent if he
pays when his taxes are due, instead of waiting
until he becomes delinquent and bad citizen, then
making the reduction in an even greater amount
II this done there would be little tax lodging
because the excuse of inability to pay would be
lacking, and the fear of irrevocable property loss
for delinquency would be the further urge to pay.
Delinquents under these conditions would not pay
under any circumstances and should lose their
property"

Just who brought the first red
clover to the New World is still

report that many men famous in
Colonial history urged it's growth.

asked his settlers to bring good
stores of clover seed, but there is
no record that they did William
Penn in 1886 tells of success in
growing English grass Cred clover)
and that Robert Turner, a wealthy
merchant planter sowed great and
small clover"
Benjamin Franklin, about 1850,
wrote that he had ''seeded 80 acres
to red clover in Philadelphia on the
2233rd Of August - Nearly 25 years
later his Poor Richards Almanac"
told of ''An experienced method of
sowing clover on barley"
George Washington in 1876 wrote
that seed of red clover was obtain

Woodlots Overpastured;
Are DAMAGED bv Animals

About one-third of all the forest
land in the united States is esti-
mated to be in farm woodlots
These are often overpastured, espc
cially in dry years. The same thing
happens on public lands that are
leased to sheep and cattle ranchers.
Millions of dollars are spent an
nually by federal, state, and mu-
nicipal governments and private
land owners on reforestation. Much
Of this expenditure may go for
naught when the timber lands al e
leased for pasture. Overpasturing
kills the trees, asserts a writer in
the Chicago Tribune.
A heavily pastured woods has
practically no young growth and
what little there is usually is broken
and scrubby and exists only IN
small, ragged patches. Cattle,
horses, and sheep eat young seed
lings, particularly the hardwoods,
trample them down, or brush
against them and break them off.
Hogs eat the seed and prevent re-
production, or root young seedlings
out of the ground, sometimes eating
the roots. The older trees are dam
aged when the roots are tramplei
and the ground packed down so
that it fails to soak up water as It
should. Horses often peel the bark
from the trees. The effect of such
abuse is evident in the dead tops
and skimpy foliage on the old trees
in a woods that has been ovec-
pastured. FOresters say that horses
should lever be allowed to run il
the woods.

Brine and Salt
Cures for Meat
Two Principal Methods Are
Used by the Majority
of Farmers.
By r. E. Nance. Professor OF Animal Hus-
bandry, North Carolina State
College.-WNU Service

Coege-WNU Service.
The many methods Of curing pork
are mostly variations of the two
principal methods: the brine cure
and the dry salt cure Common
salt is the basis Of all meat curing.
Sugar is sometimes added to give
a better flavor and to counteract the
tendency of the salt to harden the
meat. Saltpeter may be used also
to give the meat a natural red color,
it has some preserVatiVe effect, too.
In curing pork, be sure that all
the animal heat has dissipated and
that the meat has not frozen. Do
the curing in a cool, we'll ventilated
place and, if possible, in a tempera
ture of "a to 40 degrees fahrenheit.
In the brine cure, for each 100
pounds of meat use II pounds of
salt, two ounces of saltpeter, and
six gallons Of water. Boil the water
and allow it to cool. If desired, add
three cups Of sugar to this formula.
Thoroughly mix the salt, salt
peter, and sugar and rub some of
the mixture into the hams, shoul-
ders, and sides. Pack all meat in
the same vessel, skin side down,
except the top layer should be skin
side up. Weight the meat down
with clean hard wood or bricks.
Dissolve the rest of the salt and
other ingredients in the six gallons
of water, before the water has
cooled. After the solution is cool,
pour it over the meat in the vessel
until all meat is covered. Repack
the meat on the seventh and twenty
first days.
When the meat is cured, wash it
first in hot water and then in cold
water and hang it in the smoke
house to drip for "a hours before
smoking.
For the dry cure, use for each
100 pounds of meat: eight pounds of
salt, three ounces of saltpeter, and
three pounds of sugar Drown pre-
ferred).
Mix the ingredients thoroughly
and rub half the mixture on the
meat, then pack 1t as for the brine
cure. In seven days repack the meat
and rub on the other half. The meat
should cure 1Arca days for each
pound of weight Of each piece. Then
wash it and hang it in the smoke
house.
Smoke the meat with hickory, oak,
or corn cobs to suit the taste. If
the smokehouse is fy-proof and well
ventilated, meat may be left in it
until used. Otherwise, it should be
wrapped in heavy paper.
