Curing Meat on The Farm. The best way to eat meat is to eat it while fresh, for there is no way of preserving it that will re tain all the nutrition and all the flavor. It is, nevertheless, fre quently desirable to cure meat at home, and there is no reason why this can not be done satis factorily and economically. Salt, sugar or molasses, baking soda, and a little saltpeter are the only ingredients necessary. Ordinarily the curing of meat shou'd be begun from 24 to 3G hours after the animal is slaugh tered. This allows sufficient time for the animal heat to leave R&BUILDING OF BURNED DISTRICT IS TO BEGIN Insurance Adjusters Settle Fire Losses And Clearing Away Debris Begun to Make Ready for New Structures.

If aeom sure we shall find many the deep well, which is sup- cient to permit decay to set in. Once the meat is tainted, no amount of preservatives will bring back the proper flavor. On the other hand, if salt is applied toosoon. obnoxious gasses will be retained and the meat will posses an offensive odor. It is also im possible to obtain good results when the meat is frozen. Sugar-cured hams and bacon -When the meat is cooled, rub each piece with salt and allow it to drain over night. Then pack it in a barrel with the hams and snouiaers in tne Bottom, using the strips of bacon to fill in be tween or to put on top. Weigh out for each 100 pounds of meat 8 pounds of salt, 2 pounds brown sugar, and 2 ounces of saltpeter. Dissolve all in 4 gallons of water, and cover the meat with the brine. For summer use it will be safest to boil the brine before it is used. For winter curing it is not necessary to boil the brine. Bacon strips should remain in this brine four to six weeks; hams six to eight weeks. This is a standard recipe and has given the best of satisfaction. Hams J and bacon cured in the spring i will keep right through the sum-! mer after they are smoked. The I meat will be sweet and palatable if it is properly smoked, and the flavor will be good. Present prospects are that even this fall some of the buildings recently destroyed by the fire will he put in shape for tenants. In fact Geo. Fry will at once begin the repair of the building adjoin ing the post office and have it in readiness as soon as possible. There is also some talk of the space formerly occupied by the wooden structures of N. Brown & Sons between the Harney County National Bank and the Bedell building being filled in with stone at the back and a plate glass front to be used by one of the firms that was put out of business by the fire. This has not been definitely settled, how ever, but builders say it can be put in shape in a very short time should the parties get together and decide. Adjusting agents of the sever al insurance companies have been here this week and the losses occasioned by the fire have all been adjusted, some are not yet closed but there has been no dif ficulty in making the adjust ments so far as we can learn. There has been no move to re place the French hotel and the livens buildings at the present cal capital decide to erect a hotel it is possible th ationa and foundations may i e taken care of this fall making it possible to get tho new building in readiness for occupancy earlier next season than would be the case should , operations, be left until spring.

D. Dickenson, who is farming the Brown places just north of town and next to the flour mill, had a narrow escape from losing a large part of his barley crop Thursday by fire catching from the engine of the threshing ma chine. The fire was extinguish ed before much damage had been done, however. Last year Mr. Dickenson sustained quite serious loss by fire during the threshing period and therefore had his crop insured this season.
