CURING PORK AT HOME
Raleigh, I)cc. 13. ? In North Caro
lina there is an old, but apt, saying
that December killed meat never
Bpojls in curing, "The reason -for
prevalence of this idea is because
the weather in December is usually
cold enough to drive the animal heat
out of the meat before it is ready to
put in the curing solution," says
Karl llostetler of the Animal In
dustry Division of the State College
and Department of Agriculture.
"Home cured pork, when properly
handled, ( commands a premium on
moat of our markets in the State and
therefore, it is a good practice for
the farmer to not only cure his own
supply, but aJso to cure some surplus
for .sale", says Mr. Hostetler.
While home curing of pork should
be a part of every farm program it
belived that no one should attempt
it unless he has fully decided that
he will take the time and care nec
essary to do the work properly.There
is really nothing 'difficult or myster
ious about curing pork and the great
est loss cach year is due to "hurry"
to put the meat in the cure and"neg
linenee" after the meat is hung up.
Meat with the animal heat still in it
?r meat that has been frozen will
*poil in the cure, and properly cured
?nd smoked moat will beconfe in
fested with ?* ' skippers " unless the
store house is either screened with
fine screen or the meat wrapped se
curely.
There are numbers of curing rc
'ipes and every one has his own
favorite; however, the basis of all
fhese, and the only real curing agent
? salt Saltpeter will preserve the
??lpr and sugar or molaascs will im
prove the flavor but without salt
these would bq worthless. Excellent
Results have been obtained by thu
Ufiice of Swine Investigations when
12 pounds of salV3 pounds of brown
su^ar, 3 oz. of saltpeter, and 0 gal
? lous of water werq, used 'to -each owe

CLUB BOMBERS ADD WEALTH
TO BUNCOMBE COUNTY
:'-'v
Asheville, l)eo." IS.? Reports re
ceived from 188 agricultural club
members of Buncombe county by L.
R. Harrill, Assistant County Agent,
show that these young farmers made
a gross earning of $7000 on a net
profit of $4326.10 on their work this
past season. This was an average
net profit of $23 each after a labor
charge of 20 cents per hour and all
other expenses of carrying on tfho
'work had been deducted.
An analysis of the club work boys
and girls produced $2325.52 worth oi
poultry and eggs ; the corn club mem
bora produced $960 worth of corn
with a%net profit of $667.63; the po
tato club members produced 9075
bushels of Irish potatoes with a net
profit of $428.27 the pig club mem
bers produced $621 worth of pork
with a net profit of $280.47, -while
the calf club members report an in-,
crease in value of their stock amount
ing to $1170. The total value o? the
18 registered calves owned by these
club mombe^ is given at $2700.
In reporting on this work to Di
rector B. W. Kilgoro, Mr. Harrill
states that while ho is somewhat dis
appointed because all of his club
members did not make a report this
year, he is well pleased with the fine
results obtained by those who did
make a Anal statement.

our sorrow, not to our surprise
welaJfl i again stalling on the long
looked. fpr and ever needed link be
tween Cullowhee and the forks of the
rittr. Why 0 why are we again de
layed on this!
The greatest needed improvement
that confronts Jackson is this link
and We have for the la^t few years
been looking for the day to come
that this contract would be let and
work begun. On learning of the let
ting, of the contract we were helped
up and relieved to some extent, but
thin to our great sorrow we find that
we arc again turned down pn our
t*4.- -
gnat need and left to roam the mnd
.aa-bcst we can for time and maybe
for eternity for some of us, but if
we fail to get this long needed im
provement in this life we hope to be
able to know that some of our sue
* ? * I
ceesiors will be able to enjoy the good |
road we failed to get.
The people of the county are en
titled to some reasons for this pro-|
ject not going through as we are just
as much entitled to good roads as any
part of v the county, but this is not
Ike first time we have failed to get
our just dues ip .this matter.
My idea is that the thing for all
the-upper end of the county and we
people, here to do is to keep asking ?
faf something tQ be done on this
and by staying with it long enough
and keeping it ever before our road |
boards that we arc .not going to lay
down on the job until we have some
relief we in time will be able to get
some wayfaring friend who will be j
able to give us some relief.
The Groat State of North Carolina
hat smiled on tins part of the coun
try and located one of the' be-.fr
schools in the State here &t Cutfowhto
building some of the nicest buildings
in the best heating j^stcra- in
sycten* with a good large water shed
and a two hundred thousand gallon
tank on one of th<rmo8t commanding
lulls around us, which will give this
school one of the bost water system;}
in this part of the stato. - .
You can see new homes going up
nil around Cullowhee, people im-'
proving their homes and farms on all
sides, and here you will find one of
the best communities anywhero to be
found, with a good law abiding
citizenship to back it up, but there
is no fuss being made as to the great
improvement going on around us, we
are contented to take it as it comes,
but with the state spending so much
here and considering our great need
of roads to get in and out to this.|
great institution we feel that it is
time for us to walk up a!nd do some
thing for. ourselves in this line.
Now for one more time I say lets
join hands and get something in this
line, "united we stand, divided we'
fall", lets unite upper Jackson and
stand as the greatest county in North
Carolina.
Lets pull for a good road and a
telephone line to the Sooth Carolina
lino.
Here is hoping,

PROHIBITING DEFACING
ADVERTISING SIGNS
Several States have passed laws
prohibiting signs on roads, with the
idiea that the automobile, carrying
tourists and sight-seeing travelers, is
not an asset to the individual bus
iness house but to the State, and
that travelers ahould not be eoin
pelled to have their beautiful views
and vistas profaned by painted
boards.
- Speaking of this idea in Illinois,
Governor Small said:' ' Illinois . has
scon the logio of preserving the right
of way in this respect with the re
sult that we have hundreds of miles
of drives fringed with grass, trim
med to lawn-like nicety, unmarred by
unsightly billboards, which are so
often seen in neighboring common
wealths."
Col. C. R. Miller, director of the
Is*.* . 1
Illinois Department of Public Works
and Buildings, said:
"Connecticut has followed Illinois' j

BISHOP ATKINS DIES
IN LITTLE BOOK
t * * .
Little Rock, Ark., Dee. 5 ? Bishop
James Atkins, for more than a quar
ter of a century a leading figure in
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, died here tonight. -
( No appreciable change had been
noted today in the condition ofBishop
I Atkins, who was stricken with para
lysis here Monday.
The prelate had been uneonsicious
since late yesterday. His wife and
their three children were at his bed
side. ' v '?
A few minutes later th? bishop
passed away.
Bishcfp Atkins came to this city
last week to preside over the annual
sessions of the Little Rock confer
ence. He' became ill last Wednesday
and was forced to retire tempo
rarily. Bishop H. M. Dubose, of San
Francisco, took up his official dutiea
and presided over the conference un
til' Sunday, when Bishop Atkins re
sumed his post and read the appoint
ments at the final session. Although
apparently recovered from his ill
ness, the bishop determined to re
main here a few days to regain his
strength.
Bishop Atkins was born in Rnox
ville> Tenn., April 18, 1850. After
studying at Emoxy and Heniy col
lege, lie received the M. A. degree in
1872 and thereafter graduated from k
Trinity college with the Doctor of
Divinity degree.
Following his ordination as a
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
church, South, in 1872 he held vari
ous charges until 1879, when he be
came president: of Asheville Female
collcge, which post he filled for ten
years. In 1889 he accepted the presi
dency of Emory and Henry college
but after four years service there he
returned to the presidency of the
Asheville institution. In 1896 he
was elected Sunday school editor of
the church in the South and took *
large part ilf building up the Sun
day school organization. Ten y mxd
later, in 1906, he was elected to th?
bishoprie.
During the closing years of his
life Bishop Atkins devoted a great
deal of time to the upbuilding of
Junaluska, N. C., which became the
leading conference center of his
church. He resided at Waynesville
near the sceuter of the activities of
his declining years.
Funeral services were conducted
at the Baptist church in Waynesville
Saturday morning by Rev. T. J.
Mangum, pastor of the Methodist
church.
