The Farmer Who Has With the scarcity of corn the tend: encygis to do home butchering a little earlier than usual this year. Judging from reports received of spoiled’ meat, many farmers have not waited long enough for cooler weather. The farm- er has no place for artificial cooling of meat and mist depend upon nat- ural temperature. Meat must be chilled rapidly (lose its animal heat) or fermentation will set in and the meat will sour. Meat will not chill out well in damp weather. Do t slaughtering on a cool clear day. perature should go a little bel ing at night. If killing is done freez- ly in the morn- is cold, the meat, night, kers usually let_pork hang in coolers for 48 hours. You cannot make good-shaped hams, shoulders yee ‘and bacon if the meat is not well Cooling of Meat Must Depend on the Weather By P. F. Trowbridge, Professor of Agricultural Chemistry, University of Missouri No Place for Artificial Forty pounds clean fine~ salt;--10 pounds granulated sugar (or light brown sugar), four pounds’ black pep- per, three pounds saltpeter, one-half pound cayenne pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly and rub thoro the well-cooled pieces of me: g about half the inixture. Place the meat ona table, box or bench in a cool place, but do not pack tightly in a box or barrel. the meat lie for 10 days to two weeks; then rub on the remainder of the mixture, With small hams and bacon the meat should be cured in a month, Heavy hams should lie about six weeks. Hang in the smokehouse and smoke a little each day for about three weeks. Green hickory, maple or apple wood is recommended, - Do not smoke too much, Meat that is to be kept all summer or longer should be more thoroughly smoked, and should be well wrapped before flies PORK CUTS. , 1.

If you are going to dispose of} begin to bother in the spring. the pork loins while they are fresh, split the carcass down the middle of the backbone so you can sell the loin with its proportion of bone. If the loins are to be used fresh at home or made into sausage, it is well to cut the ribs on each side and take out the backbone with but little meat. Cut off the ham at nearly right an- gies to the line of the foot and not to exceed two inches forward of the pelvic bone. Trim off much of the fat for lard:|_The lean must be well ex- posed or the hams will not cure well. In removing the shoulder cut about on a line between the third and fourth ribs. Trim the shoulder closa. Make a short-cut picnic shonlder if you can use the shoulder butt for sausage or if you can sell it fresh. Bone out the jowl for bacon. It is as good as the side, Trim the bacon light or heavy as desired. All fat trimmings g0 into lard and all lean trimmings into sau- sage. Dry cured meat takes more time and care but is preferred by most people. The following directions for making dry-cure hams and bacon have proven véry satisfactory. For every 1,000 pounds of meat make up the following mixture: If brine-cured pork is desired, the following brine gives good results: Water, four gallons; salt, seven pounds; sugar, five pounds; saltpeter; one and one-half ounces. Boil the pickle so as to dissolve all the ingredients and remove any scum that may form. Sprinkle a thin layer of salt in-the bottom of the barrel. Rub each piece of well-chilled meat with fine salt and pack tightly in the barrel, putting the bacon pieces on edge. Sprinkle a layer of salt over each layer of meat. Weight down thor- oughly and allow to stand over night. Tip the barrel on the side to drain off any liquid that has seperated out. Pour on the well-cooled brine and see that it completely covers the meat. In a week repack the meat, reversing the layers. A 10-pound ham will cure in about 30 days, a 14-pound ham in 45 days and a 16-pound ham in about 60 days. The-—meat should be repacked two or three times and if a growth forms on the brine it should be boiled, skimmed and cooled before pouring on the meat again. ‘When cured wash off the méat with warm water, wipe and smoke as directed above. COTTONSEED MEAL AS FEED By €. A. Trowbridge, Professor of Animal Husbandry, Univer- sity of Missouri. —— The value of cottonseed meal as a food for live stock was not realized until recently. It has not been many yeats since cottonseed meal was con- sidered not only unfit for live stock teed, but dangerous. Cottonseed meal is :very concen- trated, very high in nitrogenous ele- ~ments, and serves a very excellent purpose.as.a feed to balance corn and other carbonaceous feeds. Some say that cottonseed meal Causes sore eyes among horses and mules, Sore eyes among horses and mules is the result of the use of the meal in large quantities and for an ex- tended period of time, the dust blow- ing in the horses’ eyes and serving as an irritant, eres ; Cottonseed meal should be used as & supplement when fed to horses. It may be fed with corn in the propor- tion of about one part cotténseed meal to seven or. eight parts corn or other |- grain. The North Carolina experi- ment atatioti concludes from its in- vestigations with cottonseeg*meal that may be fed in quantities of two pounds take them mares, growing colts and work horses. The conclusions reached there and elsewhere are to the effect that when cottonseed meal constitutes one-sixth to one-eighth .of the grain ratio for horses and mules it serves as a Very valuatie means of reducing the cost of the ratién and at the same time balances the nitrogenous content. The same investigations show conclusively that only meal of the very best qual- ity obtainable should be fed. Buy Clover Seed Now. This is a good time of the year to buy clover seed. The price‘of clover seed usually increases as sowing time approaches, It is usually wise to be- gin to think about clover seed early. Get samples from the men who have it for sale and have these tested at the seed-testing laboratory at the Un versity of Missouri. This work is done free for Missouri farmers. One can thus know exactly what he is sowing. It requires only a couple of table- spoonfuls of, seed as a sample for such a test.. 2 Not That Way.

WAS JOURNEY OF HARDSHIP sore, Ragged and Almost Fam- ished After Their Three Days’ Tramp. Marfa, Tex., Jan. Tagged, almost famished from their three-day march on foot of sixty-seven miles over a- wind-swept mountain Toad, ‘the 3,500 Mexican federal sol- diers and generals routed from Ojin- aga, Mexico, by the rebels, with 1,067 women and about 300 children~and infants, have arrived at Marfa, whence they are ‘to be transported by train to Fort Bliss at El Paso. The ragged remnant of the Huerta army, which sought asylum in this mally interned at Fort Bliss as wards of the government. They are to be of prisoners of war, an ‘entire division of a foreign army which includes six disarmed generals. Incidents of the March. None of those in the unique caravan, which contained disarmed Mexican soldiers, women, children, horses, burros and dogs, straggled for miles along the road, was more visibly af- fected on coming within sight of Marfa than General Salvador Mer- cado, Huerta’s former military chief, who ordered the evacuation of Ojin- aga in face of the rebel fire. The picturesque march afoot through American territory of so many tforeign soldiers and women with their baggage abounded with in- cidents. The birth of a child, the death of several wounded soldiers, the line of march and the rounding up again of scores ‘of the refugees, were some of the difficulties with which the United States cavalrymen, command- tend. The Mexicans, guarded virtual- ly as prisoners, outnumbered the es- corting American soldiers ten to one, Scanty’ Food Supply. Since they were routed from Ojinaga by General Villa's rebel forces and United States at Presidfo, Tex., eight days ago, the Mexican soldiers have had only scanty food supplies. Their march of sixty-seven miles to the near- disarmed and held prisoners by the _| American‘troops was made possible by | the establishment of the three camps provided en route. But these camps were supplied with limited rations be- cause all food stuffs and water had to Many of the foreigners were poorly Hence the hopeful look that appeared in the faces of the dirt-begrimed men ‘and women when they were told the march was almost over. American officers that marchers the Mexican’ women were the best. There were instances of women who yielded their places on horseback or burros to men who found This confirmed the prediction of Gen- eral Mercado that the women would in no way impede the march of the colump as they were all hardy, accys- tomed to outdoor life and capable of enduring as much fatigue as the men.
