j To Susjar Care Pork. -
Hogs of 200 to 250 pounds weight
are best for family use. In dressing
p hog It should be so hung that It can
he split down the back, and the sides
allowed to separate, the head being
cut off. The leaf and some other sur
plus fat should be removed at ooe.
This allows the meat to cool thorough
ly, and It Is In good shape to handle.
The moat barrel should be kept In a
cool place without freezing. A good
way to keep the hams and shoulders
after being cured Is to elice and fry
ana pack In Jars, covering with hot
lard. , Fresh pork may be kept this
way In hot weather, but It must be
thoroughly cooked. While the cured
meat requires much less cooking to
preserve it.
Allow the hog to thoroughly cool be
fore cutting, carefully trim hams and
shoulders and spilt the sides In two
lengthwise. Sprinkle bottom of bar
rel with fine salt, and rub each piece
of meat with salt. Pack to barrel with
hams on the bottom, shoulders next
and sides on top. After' three days
cover the meat with brine made as
follows: Water, 8 gallons; salt, 12
pounds; sugar, 3 pounds; saltpeter, 3
ounces; concentrated lye, 3 teaspoons.
Boll all together anil skim. After cool
ing, pour over the meat. Leave In
brine from four to six weeks, then
smoke as desired. The brine should
be strong enough to bear up an egg.

( A Primitive Ihreahingr Machine.
A common Bight In the agricultural
districts of Hungary Is two women
trending out grain by means of n
beam. The woman seated on the
ground takes a bundle of grain and
puts It under one end of the beam.
When the grain Is Is place the woman
leaning on the pole for support takes
a step backward which has the effect
of raising the broad, flat end of the
beam, and making the other end fall
In a hole made for that purpose. Then
a quick step forward, with some little
pressure, brings the thick end of the
beam down on the wheat and flattens
It out so effectually as to separate
the grain from the husks.
The cow that gets fat Is never thai
best one for the dairyman. The good
dairy cow has a good appetite and eats
heavily, but her feed goes to milk rich
in butter fat Instead of to the making
of flesh.

ket that is full; of weeds. Such, hay
brings the lowest price, and also indi
cates that the farmers who ship it are
not only careless, but also Ignorant of
the true methods of farming.

The Farm and the Man.
Flow any farm should be cropped
depends upon where the farm is, its
character and location. Some farms
are by nature pasture farms, because
they are not adapted to cultivatforJ;
other farms Invite tillage. Size, too,
is a controlling factor. A crop rota
tion and schedule of farm work that
Is admirable for fifty acres may be
wholly Impracticable for five hundred
or a thousand. The ambition to own
and cultivate broad acres Is an Ameri
can disease. This disease Is not so
much a desire to add to worldly pos
sessions' as It is for a gratification of
the ownership of dominion; when an
alyzed It will be found to be a feature
of man's kinship with nature.
Another and the most Important fac
tor of all Is the man himself. The
man makes the farm good or bad, aa
he makes everything else that conies
under his control. The experience of
one farmer is invaluable to another,
but each farm is nevertheless a separ
ate and local problem which the farm
er must think out and work out himself.
Return to Palestine Likely to Be" by
, Gradual Staees.
; Israel Zangwlll, writing In , the
World To-Day, says pertinently: "The
freer the Jew Is left the more he tends,
if not toward 'Christianity, toward a
broader view of It and toward the ac
ceptance of Christ In the apostolic
chain of Hebrew prophets. " The mod
ern Jew . is a pro-Chrlstlan, only too
eager to admire the Ideals of what
ever nation he lives . amid, only too
uncritical. There can be little doubt,
therefore, that were the Jew left to
himself and given a free ran In Chris
tendom and free elbow room he would
In the course of a few generations be
practically merged with his environ
ment. , 1 ' '
For this consummation, however,
Christendom Is too unchristian to wait.
It requires three or four generations
after the first emancipation, and be
fore these generations are up some
thing Is sure to happen to throw the
Jew back upon himself. The Dreyfus
case is what Bacon, calls an "ostensive
Instance." But apart from such un
predictable particularities, It may . be
prophesied generally that with such a
good "whipping boy" as the Jew ready
to the agitator's hand, no economic or
other crisis will pass In any country
without its Jews being called to ac
count for It. It is a notorious device
of statecraft to divert attention from
Internal evils to foreign affairs and
the Jews are a quasi-foreign body pro
vide at hnm in flfst!!t O? H !PtteT
cover. These outbreaks of anti-semlt-lcism,
these Incipient persecutions will
always be answered by reactionary
rigidlscence in the Jewish ranks.
The road to Palestine Is hard and
long. The Jew will probably make
many a detour to his goal, and is most
likely to settle as a first step In some
neutral territory, less beset with po
litical and religious pitfalls, there to
reorganize his scattered forces, to re
learn the lessons of co-operation and
self-government, to readjust the bal
ance of the old world and the new and
to reconcile his conceptions with . the
modern scientific vision of the universe
and with the new, historical perspect
ives opened up to us by archaeology.
Thus tempered and prepared and re
united, he will await the opportunity
of colonizing the holy land with his
overflowing population and there re
Inspired and resanc titled by the fulfil
ment of his secular dream, he will
continue his word toward the creation
of a model state, which, set on Zlon's
hill, may be a light to the people.

Boiled mutton is not a poetical dish,
but It Is good standby for the family
dinner. It appears much oftener on
the English tables than on American.
The leg on boiling should be v quite
fresh. Wipe, remove all the fat and
put Into a kettle of well-salted boll
lug water. As it begins to boil, skim
frequently, then 'set back on the range
and simmer slowly, allowing twenty
minutes to each pound of meat. A lit
tle rice Is frequently boiled with the
mutton. Serve with a thick caper
sauce poured over the mutton and
currant Jelly. The caper sauce is
merely a drawn-butter sauce, made by
combining a scant half -cup of butter
with two tablespoonfuls of flour In a
saucepan, adding when bubbly one
pint of the hot water In which 'the
mutton was boiled, seasoning to taste,
and adding at the least six tablespoon
fuls of capers or pickled nasturtium
seeds.
English Olnjrer flnnps.
Fourteen ounces of white sugar,
eight ounces of butter, eight eggs, one
ton ntinf il of rnilk, two ounces of
ground ginger, two tablespoonfuls of
baking powder, one and a half pound
of flour. Mix up in the usual way for
cookies. Sift sugar over before cut
ting out the cakes. It Is generally
best to make the dough for all kinds
of cookies and sugar cakes as soft as
it can possibly be rolled out. Differ
ent persons make very different cakes
of these sorts from the same recipes,
and the common fault Is too much
flour In the dough. The baking pow
der, too, Is responsible for. some of
the changes. With too much powder
the cakes run Into each other and lose
the 'good round shape they ought to
have.

with two large white onions, chopped
fine, and cook for ten minutes without

ten minutes, add one pint of corn cut
or scraped from the ear, salt and pep

The first idea of propulsion on land
by steam Is made known by a replica
of Newton's engine of the year 1680.
The engine was reproduced from de

a gigantic tea kettle. In its day It was

Insect Balloons.
Insects enjoying aerial navigation by
the use of balloons were recently
caught by a French naturalist, who
noticed them as small, bright objects
floating In the air arid behaving as If
they were being steered. He cauarht
some of them and found them to be
viscous air bubbles one-fourth of an
inch long, of uniform dimensions, and
showing iridescent reflection. Bach

filled with fish-stocked lakes, and the
next eruption blows out the water and

Potato 8alad.
One of the best methods of serving
cold potatoes is to make them into
salad. Cut them In any convenient
form, add one small onion finely chop

Break Into a bowl the yolks of three
eggs, add a pinch of red pepper, a tea
spoonful of made mustard, a teaspoon
ful of salt, and beat hard. Add of best
oil, beating constantly, enough to make
the dressing as thick as cake batter,
alternating occasionally with a few
drops of sharp vinegar. Finish by add
ing one cupful of thick cream sweet
or sour.
BtnflTed Mushroom.
Chop one shnllot, saute In half a ta
blespoonful of butter. Itemove the in
sldes of mushrooms, chop with half
the stalks and add to the shallot; add a
little good broth. (Steep the remaining
stalks In one-third cup of water fot
mushroom broth or gravy.) Cook fur
one-half hour, then season with salt,
pepper and nutmeg. Add chopped pnrs

crumbs and a little lemon Juice. Fill
the mushrooms, place In a pan well
buttered. Bake thirty minutes. Mois
