It is better than plain salted meat?" Your last question first: Ye3, I be lieve smoked meat is considered more wholesome than salted meat. The Smoking renders the fat granular and easily worked upon by the gastric juices. It also matures the fiber, and gives flavor, palatability and vrjriety. Following are the instructions for smoking given by the Department of Agriculture: A smokehouse 6 by 8 feet will be large enough for ordinary farm use. Ample ventilation should be provided to carry off the warm air in order to prevent over heating the meat. Brick or stone houses are best. Large dry goods boxes and even barrels may be made to serve as smokehouses where only small amounts of meat are to be smoked. The care of meat in such substitutes is so much more difficult and the result so much less satisfactory that a permanent place should, be .provided if possible. The best fuel for smoking meats is green hickory or maple wood smoth ered with sawdust of the same mate rial. Hard wood of any kind is pref erable to soft wood. Resinous wood should never be used. Corn cobs are the best substitute for hardwood. jumper berries and fragrant woo as are sometimes ndded to the fire to flavor the neat. Meat that is to be smoked sl.ould be , removed from the brine two or three days before being put in the smoke house. If it has been cured in strong briae, it will be best to soak the pieces in cold water overrJght to pervent a crust of salt from forming ea the outside when drained. Wash ing the meat in tepid water and scrub bing clean with a brush is a good practice. The piece should then be bang up to drain for a day or two. When drained they may be hung in the smokehouse. All should be sua pended below the ventilators and should hang so that no two pieces come in contact, as this would pre- t "ent uniform smoking. A slow fire may then be started warning up the meat gradually. In - wld weather it is best to keep the fire (toing continually until the smolder ing is complete. If the fire is allowed t die down, the meat becomes cold d smoke dees not nenetrate readilv. This results in heavy smoke on the outside and very little on the inner portions of the meat During spring months and in the summer, a light fire may be started every second or ward day for two weeks, the meat be ing allowed to hang in the smokehouse mtti efficiently colored. "When the fee la kept sroinir steadilv an even temperature is maintained, 24 to 36 nouni Will be reauired to finish an lot tfmeat. As soon as smoked sufficient ly the meat should be cooled by open r ventilators or doors. When "d and firm it may be canvrssed Packed away for summer use.

The national campaign for the Pres idency next year ought to be almost unique in American history. Mr. Wil son may be re-elected, but if he is, it will be without his having made any great effort to persuade the people. In this instance it seems that the office will have to seek the man, because the President's attitude appears be yond question to be that of a man who is not sufficiently anxious to bear the burdens of the position to get out and make a determined effort to succeed himself. Mr. Wilson probably feels that the people should be in position now to decide without much argument whether they desire to keep the pres ent chief in office to cairy out the poli cies he has instituted, or that they are discontent with the administra tion and want a ch?.nge. But where the peculiarity in prospect for the campaign lies, seems to us to be in the fact that neither of the old narties is intact. Mr. Bryan will be able to occasion a split of some consequence in Democracy's ranks nnd it is hardly likely that Mr. Roosevelt will lina up his followers for old-fashioned Rcpub- licanirm. That Mr. Wilson wi'.l be re turned to office wjuld appear a pre diction so well-fou.ided as to pvevoke little argument, but, if he is, it will be because of the peculiar internation al situation and as a vote cf confi dence for the man who has stood well for his country under difficulties, rath er than because of a party alignment. In days past while the sailing was good, the party in greater strength could place its nominee in the White House, but we do not believe it can do it in 1916, and upon that belief, we anticipate the re-eiection of Mr. Wil son by a combined Democratic and Republican vote.

A FALL CALVING COWS Champion Shorthorn A mistake made by a great many farmers In South Carolina is to have tholr cows calve during the spring months. All authorities on dairying are agreed that for many reasons It is more profitable to have cows calve in fall. The principal advantages of fall calving are four In number and are stated below. 1. As a rule, prices for dairy prod ucts, especially butter, are much high- WBBM Handy Feed Rack for Live Stock Easily Moved Around Lot or Field. er in winter than in summer. Hence, it is desirable to have the cow pro duce the greatest part of her milk, which she does In the months imme diately after calving, during winter. 2. Cows calving in spring usually have plenty of good pasturage tome- MULCH FOR THE STRAWBERRY Protection Is Afforded Both Plants and Fruit Should Be Applied In Fall Before Frost. (By C. W. RAPP. Department of Hortl rulture, Oklahoma A. and M. College, Stillwater.) Mulches are one of the most im portant factors In successful straw berry culture, for by their use protec tion Is given to both plants and fruit. The straw mulch, which is most fre quently used, should be applied late In the fall, preferably before frost. When applied at this time It serves as a protection throughout the entire winter. Its use largely prevents tho heaving which Is so noticeable In many patches. The mulch also holds much water, with the result that the patch Is better able to withstand the dry summer weather. During the spring the mulch protects the berries from dirt, which is dashed upon them by the rains if the ground Is bare. If the spring is late, in the home garden the mulch may be raked over the plants to protect the blossoms and fruit from frosts. After the berries are picked the mulch should be washed into the soil. Where this is done, much humus and plant food Is added with the result that-greater yields may be expected. HAIRY VETCH FOR PASTURES When Seeded In Fall It Furnishes Good Grazing During Winter and In the Early Spring. The persistent character of hairy vetch in the soils of many of the southern states makes it worthy of consideration of a pasture plant !When seeded early in the fall with oats It will furnish good grazing dur ing the winter and early spring and af terwards produce a good crop of hay. The few cases In which it has been tried In permanent pastures have beait sufficiently successful to encourage further trials. Note of the FeeJ Lot. When skim milk is fed to young pigs, they should be started on It gradually and It should always be fed with a little meal and other feed. The natural feed for hogs is not liquids, but solids, therefore we can not understand how some men believe they can fatten hogs an slops alone. Many of them keep on trying year after year, but never succeed. As the bard work rases up' on the horses, cut down their feed accord ingly. Care of the Caff. The skim milk calf simply mnst have something to partly take the place of the cream that has been separated from the milk, or it will develop into a pot-bellied, scrawny animal, unft for cither veal or dairy P-rposes. Teach It to eat as early as possible in order to supply this de ficiency. Big Waste of Manure. It is really a crime the way some farmers are permitting the eseape into rallies and creeks of so much manure. The records show that constant culti vation depletes the fertility of the soil, and the farmer who allows this valuable soil builder to escape Is the one whose fsrm snon becomes bar ron. Preserve the manure. m Ok III I in ii w 3 BRING MORE PROFIT Cow and Calf. diately and this lasts until about Au gust. Eut during this period tho Cow's flow is naturally heavy anyway. About the time pastures dry up, a spring calving cow's milk flow begins to fall off and by the time, she is put on dry feed of sufficient quantity, her milk production has gonernlly fallen off so much that it cannot bn brought back to normal. On tho other hand, when cows calve !n the fall, their owners will see to it that they get plenty of dry feed to provide for the heavy milk production of winter. Then when the cows begin to fall off in the spring and need good succulent feed most, the pastures come along to keep up their milk flow. 3. It is important to be able to do most of the dairy work when other farm duties are light. Winter is the lightest of seasons for farm work. When cows calve in fall, the bulk of the year's dairy work comes in win ter. 4. When a man has his cows calving in fatl, he will unquestionably have a greater inducement to grow silage corn and fill a silo for winter feed for his stock. In this way, be is led into the practice of using silage, the most economical winter feed for cat tle. Clemson College. STORAGE FOR SWEET POTATO Keeping Qualities Depend Upon Va riety Grown arid Upon Methods of Handling at Digging Time. The keeping qualities of the sweet potato depend upon the variety grown, the type of soil in which It was grown. and the methods of handling at dig' ging time. Clay soils on which high ly nitrogenous fertilizer has been used will produce rough, cracked potatoes Such potatoes are generally poor keepers. A poor sandy soil will pro duce small, well matured smooth, on cracked potatoes. Such potatoes are usually good keepers. Too mtich care cannot be spent in digging the potato. If carelessly dug and handled the potatoes beconia bruised, hence they very easily rot When digging it Is best first to eut the vines, preferably with a vine cut ter, and then run under the potatoes with a regular sweet potato digger. The diggers are similar to a plow but have fingors attached to a short mold- bnard. After digging, the plants or hills should be lifted and laid carefully in piles, after which they caa bs picked off by band. This method will prevent a lot of needless handling and bruising. When the potatoes are shak en off in heaps, or are picked sad pitched to a heap or Into a basket they are badly bruised and skinned, and when la this state are In a very favorable condition to rot. Before be ing placed in storage they should be allowed to dry out as much as possi ble. The successful keeping of sweet potatoes depends on the following principles: 1. Harvest potatoes before they are frosted. 2. Don't bruise them, handle as lit tie as possible when digging. 3. Throw out all cracked and bro ken potatoes. 4. Dry out as much as possible be fore storing. 5. Keep dry. 6. Keep warm. North Carolina Ex periment Station. The Kicking Horse. The cure of a "kicker" is a difficult task. There are many remedies ad vised, but even the best Is sometimes Ineffectual. It may arise from vice or from excessively nervous disposi tion. One of the common appliances used is to swing a bale of straw be hind the horse so that he may kick until be is tired without doing Injury to himself. The bale will swing te and fro and irritate to the point of persuasion that there are more profit able vices than kicking. Bees and Fruit. The interest of the beekeepers and the fruit growers are identical, and there should be earnest co-operation between them. Every orcbardlst should keep bets and every beekeeper should grow fruit. The' real value of the honey bee is only now beginning to be realized. Education along this line is needed so that this, work may be carried on in a scientific way and not In the haphazard manner of the past Salt Alfalfa for Horses.
