QUESTION: How can I pre
vent my fresh cured ham* from
souring ?
ANSWER: Be sure that the
animal is not overheated before
killing and is bled well after the
killing. All vessels used in the
killing or curing process should
be scalded and all water used for
the brine or pickle should be
boiled before usage. Do not freeze
.cl'.-re curing but be sure that
all animal heat is out of meat
before it is cured. Each piece of
meat should be thoroughly rubbed
with salt before packing and the
brine should be examined every
few days, if the brine cure is
used. Very little meat will sow
if these precautions are followed
and strict sanitation practiced in
handling.
QUESTION: When should re- -
be pruned'!
ANSWER: Four different kind.
of roses are commonly grown mu
of-door and the method of prun
ing each is different. For the
dwarf growing hybrid perpetu
als and the dwarf growing teas
the pruning is done in the early
spring before growth starts. Tin
hybrid teas should be pruned when
the buds are swelling in the early
spring and the little pruning nec
essary on the climbing roses
should be done soon after the
blooming season. Extension Cir
cular No. 200 gives detailed in
formation on all phases of grow
ing roses and copies may be had

cultural Editor at State College.
“Prayer Of A
Traveling Salesman”
The traveling salesman, al
though his paths are hard, and
sometimes things do not move in
the right direction for him, he is
always cheerful and takes life as
it comes. He makes his rounds in
all kinds of weather, rain or shine,
he takes the abuses of his custom
ers, abuses that should be contrib
uted to the house that lie repre
sents and not the salesman. It is
the intention of the average sales
man to serve his customers so
that the next time he arrives that
they will be glad to see him. How
ever in some cases the house takes
advantage of him and does things
their way, and never gives a tho
ught about the abuses that the
salesman will receive on his re
tuni till).
In most every case where there
is abuses to the customers it is not
the. salesman’s fault, the fault lies
in the office, where someone is em
ployed to keep the books, that has
never had the experience of meet
ing: customers face to face, and
thereby thinks that all they have
to do is to get the customer miffed
to some extent, and thereby every
thing will be topsy-turvy.
We are herewith reprinting a
salesman’s prayer, as follows:
“0 Lord, look with a forgiving
eye, we beseech thee, if Thou canst
—on the buyers who lie to us a
bout the low prices our competi
tors give them. Lord, soften the
hearts of those who, as soon as
they see a salesman, get as busy
as a hen with one chick, and keep
us standing around until our feet
warp, and then buy as much as
two dollars and sixty-five cents
w’orth—and want that billed ou'
the first of next month. Good
Lord, curb our tendency to flirt
with the married women;'the sin
gle ones don’t count, and they ex
pect it. Teach us we pray Thee,
not to complain at the boiler tow
els that the multitude has used be
fore we got there. Lord, give us
digestions like alligators, that we
may thrive on the lion steaks cut
from the neck where the yoke
worked. Help us to be thankful
for the. stump-water served us and
called coffee, dear Lord. Toughen
our hides, that we may sleep
soundly in hotel beds already in
habited.
“Lord, soften the hearts of our
employers, that they may render
us what little commission is due
Us in full. 0 Lord, overlook our
absentmindedness when we get a
way from home and forget about
being married; and in conclusion,
we beg Thee, when we. have made
our last trip, please don’t send us
below. We have had our share of
that place on earth. Amen.’’
