? Is Frosted FoHage Dangerous?
I Every fall inquiries come in asking
' if it is dangerous to feed "frost bit
ten" forage to livestock. Most fre>
quently the question applies to sor>
ghums, but other forage plants are
! often Included.
There is no question but freezing injures
the feeding value of green forage
of any kind. But if the forage is
cut immediately after being frosted
and put in the silo, or properly cured
as dry fodder, the loss in feeding
value is not large and there is no
i danger to the livestock in feeding.
But if the crop is not cut and cufed,
there is considerable loss of feeding
value, and if it begins to decay, or
if in trying to cure it partial decay
and mold occurs, there may be da'1"
ger in feeding it, especially to horses
and mules..
If the frosted material is cut and
- cured without decay or mold, tliere
1 will be no danger of injury in feeds
ing it to livestock.?The Progressive

I How Smithfield Hanps Are Curted.
The Smithfield hani has a reputktlon
the country over. Anyone ea,n
produuce them if he; has the right
kind of hams and curet them properly.
The following is the: method recommended
for producingj these hams l)y
the United States Department of Agriculture
:
Thhe hams are placed in a large
tray of fine salt, then the flesh surface
is sprinkled with finely ground
saltpeter until they are as white as
though covered by a moderate fro it,
or say,, use four to sjx ounces of tie
powdered saltpeter to each 100 poun is
of green hams.
After applying th^ saltpeter, suit
immediately with fins salt, coveri lg
tthe entire surface wiell. Then pa k
the hams in bulk, skin side down, in
piles not more than jthree feet high.
In ordinary weather the hams should
remain thus for tljijee days. Then
break bulk and reshjt with fine salt.
The hams thus salted and resalted
should now remain in bulk one day j
for each pound; th^t is, a 10-poujnd
ham should remain jten days in l^ke
proportion of time|j for larger nind
smaller sizes. Wnjenf the cure is
complete, wash wit^j tepid water until
the hams are Jfclean, and after
partly drying rub (jjie entire surface
with finely ground black pepper.
Smoking should be (done very gralually
and slowly, extending through 30
or 40 days.
After the hams j; are cured ; nd
! smoked they should be repeppered to
I guard against venain and then be
bagged.?Editor Tali Butler, in Pro
gressive Farmer. i
J
Bright Outlook for Sweet Potato
Prices Both Noifth and South..
k
Present conditio! ?s point to gtaod
prices for sweet potatoes both North
and South. Facto:influencing the
price of potatoes jare, are reduced
production on account of the drouth,
the increased demand for cur|ngj
house potatoes in Korthern markets,
| and the reported j, shortage of jthe
j Irish potato crop n the Northwest.
I A word as to eae i of these factors
may be in order. I
7. As to the ilroutb. That the
sweet potato is ojpe of the Souths
most drouth resistant crops cannot be
successfully disputed. The crop Is
really heavier thaijt might be expected
under such senrere weather conditions.
On the other hand, there is
a decided shortage of other crops that
compete with the) sweet potato on
Southern markets j and on the home
{table. The demand for sweet potatoes
even in the 3outh will, we believe,
cause satisfactory prices to b?
| maintained, provided the crop is marketed
in an orderly manner?that is,
distributed in uniform volume from
now until the sup )ly is exhausted.
2. Curing-house potatoes have dons
more to establish this crop in Northern
markets than anything else. This
is largely due to their keeping well

when they ret-eh the retailer and alse

We believe It wise to wi hhoid curing
house potatoei from the market unti
the hulk of potatoes hai died in othei
| ways have moved. Svreet potatoei
I invariably bring better prices aftei
i Christmas than before.
3. If reports of damage from freest
ing to the Northern and Western Irist
j potato crops are true, or even neai
| true, then the price of Irish potatoes
| will he high until the 192G late croj
j reaches the market. In the meantime
I vegetables that compete with Irish po
j
tate)es and can be used as substitute)
will command increased prices.' Thil
will apply more to the sweet potate
than to any other product that com
petps with the Irish potato. It is the
neajrest substitute, and to the eulti
vutpd taste is be>tter.
Rut 'et our sweet potato growers
bear well in mind the following warn

for this year's sweet potato crop am

I Build That Hotbed.
I
Build that hotbed now. A standard
size hotbed sash in six feet long and
three feet wide. The width of the bed
should be six feet and the length
any multiple of three. Locate the
j hotbed on the south side of a building
j oil' shed or something that will protect
i from the north winds. Well drained
sbil should be selected. Dib a hole
in the ground 18 inches deep by 6 1-2
feet wide and as long as desired. The
extra six inches in widtl is to provide
for the framework. Bui'd the
frame the bottom of tin hotbed to
about 18 inches above the ground level
on the north side, and ab lut 10 or 12
inrhfQ nn anuth
. ~ I
j In the bottom of the hole, put a
] small amount of straw or hay. This
will cause the manure to pack better
} and to heat better.. Th n put in
j about 12 to 15 inches of manure and
tramp lightly. Only fr 'sh manure
rroin the horse or mule s able should
I be used, and if it is abc ,it one-third
to one-fourth litter or s raw it will
be better. After the m: nure is put
in the hotbed cover wit! five or six"
inches of finely pulver zed garden
noil. The heating manure will cause
Ihe temperature of the s oil to go to
it00 or 125 degrees at firs , bat it will
[dowly subside. When t has gone
down to 75 to 85 degrees, plant seed
or plants.
1 A hotbed is easily buil , is comparatively
inexpensive and every farm
should have at least a sm il' one. Build
. tie now, and sow radish s, beets, letjiuce,
etc., and see what a luxury it
will be to havp some o these crisp
1 vegetables along the first of February,
whet: the weather is really cold.
Then by taking out the old manure
and putting in new mai ure the hotbed
will again serve th > purpose of
growing early p'ants ft 1* setting in
the open, such as tomatoes, pc-ppers,
eggplants, etc. ? The Progressive

and the sale is already nine-tenths
made. .j
All the equipment needed is a meat
chopper, with stuffer attachment.
These can be had at a very small
price and every person killing even
three or four hogs should have them.
Where one is putting up sausage to
cure and keep a good while before
selling it, it is well to stuff it, either
in casings or muslin bags. It keeps
better in the muslin bags than in
the casing. These bags should be
coated with paraffine, as this helps
to keep the sausage longer.
Much of t?e meat that might other
wise be wasted may be made into
sausage. When one is ki'ling hogs
for home use, it may be that not more
than half to two-thirds of it is needed
for home use, and the remainder
can ot'tin be made into sausage and >
sold- at much better price than could
the meat itself. A good grade of
pork sausage can be made by using
the following:
Kighty pounds jfresh lean pork; 2u
pounds fat pork; 13-4 pounds salt; 2
01 ncs fine sage; 1 ounce ground
nulling; 4 ounces black pepper.
Some prefer to leave out the sage
and popper. When grinding meat use
the smaii plate so as to chop it up
finely. Isoth the lean and 'he fat
sliou'd lie cut into small pieeis. Add
the spices before grinding. After it
is ground, work it over two or three
times with the hands, so as to he
siire that the salt and spices are
thoroughly mixed. A small amount
of water should be added if the sau
sage is to be stuffed. Otherwise do
not add water. The addition of water
softens sihe meat so it may be stuffed
more easily.
To make good country or smoked
sausage, us <.the following material:
Seventy-five pounds lean pork: 10
pounds fat pork; 15 pounds beef;
1 1 2 to 2 pounds salt; 4 ounces black
pepper; 1 ounce' red pepper; 1 ounce
sweet marjoram; 1 ounce mace.
Prepare in the same way as outlined
above, then store in a cool
place for a day and a half. It is then
rt ady for stuffing. Before stuffing,
add a little water to make the stuffing
easier. Then smoke until a dark
-mahogany color is secured. Use a
cool smoke, as to get it too near the,
fire and have a hot smoke is not desirable.?Editor
