FLORIDA pounds, or cane syrup, 3 pints; and 4 gallons of water. Pour this brine over the meat after it has been trimmed, cooled, and snugly packed in clean barrels or boxes. It is important that every part of the meat be well covered by the solu tion. A ten-pound ham should stand in the brine about forty days, and a fifteen-pound ham sixty days. The brine should be examined every week as there is always some possibility of its souring and spoiling the meat. If the briDe becomes sour, remove all of it, wash the meat and the contain er, and pour a freshly made solution over the meat. The dry curing method is described as follows: After tbe meat has been thoroly cooled, place each piece on a clean, bleached muslin cloth about a yard square, or an opened flour sack, after covering the cloth with news papers. Place the ham or shoulder skin side down on top of the papers and apply the following: To a fifteen-pound ham, take 1 teacup of granulated sugar, 2 tea spoons of black pepper, and 1 table spoon of cayenne pepper. Place all in a vessel and mix thoroly. Rub this mixture into the meat until every part has absorbed all it will, doing the work thoroly. After this applica tion, fold the cloth entirely around the meat, being careful that every piece is well covered, and bang in a cool place- Meal that has been cured in brine will have a better flavor if it is smok ed after it has been dried by hanging in a cool place. Hickory chips or hard maple, with corn cobs, make the best smudge for this work. Pine or soft woods should not be used. —Agricul- tural News Service. • • • Americans Eating Less Meat; Number cf Animal s Declines Figures and charts on the meat in dustry of the United .States showing that the consumption of meat is de creasing are given in an exhibit, en tit ed "Livestock Statistics,” by the I United States Department of Agricul ture at the International Livestock I Exposition at Cchiago, December 2 to 9. These statistics show that the Unit ed States, while still among the prin cipal meat-eating antions of the world, is undergoing a general decline both in per capita consumption of meat and in the number of food animals in proportion to the population. This situation is illustrated strikingly by a chart of the trend cf human live i stock population in the United States from 1850 to 1922. Among live stock the number of swine is the most var iable, and sheep show the greatest decline. The relative position of the curves in this chart at the present time indicate that the nation will i probably experience increasing dif- I Acuity in suplying its ever-increasing population xvith sufficient meat pro ; ducts, and at the same time providing i a surplus of these products for ex port. I The principal meat-eating nations of the world, in order of per capita consumption,' are Argentina, Austra lia,, and New* Zealand, with the United States fourth. • * * New Method Effective in Boil Weevil Control Keen interest in the new method of fighting the boll weevil, worked out by the Florida State Experiment Station, is being taken by the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. Tbe new method consists of the removal and destruction of all squares present on the plants at a time when about two squares to the plant are present. This operation destroys a large num ber of the weevils,and is immediately followed by a thorough dusting to poison the terminal buds where the remaining weevils are forced to feed. In experiments conducted in north ern Florida, the treated fields averag ed 439 pounds of seed cotton per acre; the untreated checks averaged only 164 pounds- of seed cotton per acre, showing an average increase of 275 pounds of seed cotton per acre in all tests. The average cost of treatment for the entire season was per acre. This method apparently offers a means of controlling the boil weevil on low* yielding land, on which it has so far been unprofitable to use the dusting method. Avery large propor tion of the cotton crop is produced on low yielding land. The Bureau of Entomology urges a widespread and thorough trial of this method during j the coming season wherever the con ditions appear suitable for its use. * * • Dehydrated Hawaiian, fruits having commercial possibilities' were shown at the 1921 Mauri fair by the Federal agricu.tural experiment station of the Territory. Products which have been found by the station to have especial merit, according to reports to the United States Department of Agricul ture, are dehydrated mango, from which an excellent candid product can be obtained; dehydrated papaya, which mixed with lemon makes a cheap but delicious jam; 'and dehy drated guava, from which jelly can be made. • * * Canning Meats at Home After we leave spareribs and back bone fresh from hog killing, there is no meat (hog meat) better than that canned and kept pure and sweet. In fact, canning meat is perhaps the best way to preserve it; so preserv ed it retains its original taste and texture. And the various sized con tainers permit of its being put up in convenient amounts. Particularly in the south, because of the mildness of the climate, the canning of meats is becoming in creasingly important. Home demon stration agents are .being called upon more and more to teach home can ning of meats. However, "it is not necessary for the housewife to call upon her home demonstration agent to teach her to can meats; she can do it herself if she will follow certain dinreetipns,” spoke Miss Ellen LeNoir, district home demonstration agent of Florida, when interviewed on this question. Miss LeNoir refers the person in terested to document 80, No. A-92, of the State Relation Service, United States Department of Agriculture. Exrtacts, instructive and helpful to the woman who contemplates can ning meat, from that pamphlet, read as follows: "Poisonous compounds often form in the decomposition of protein foods. This is especially likely to, occur in case of meats and particu larly sea foods, which spoil quickly- It is of the utmost importance, there fore, to use for canning only such meats and fish as are known to be absolutely fresh and clean. When meat is canned before spoil ing has set in, treated in an abso utely clean manner, packed in air tight containers, sealed properly and sterilized in a steam pressure canner for the time and temperature given below, the resulting product being one which experience has shown to be good food. * * * "Salt may be added for flavoring or the meat may be smoked to flavor it, but neither is necessary for pre servation. The use of commercial preservatives of any kind in canning is not only unnecessary but may be dangerous ,• “These instructions require the use of steam pressure canners, because high temperature is necessary for the complete sterilization of meats. Such canners should be purchased from a reliable company. They should be able to develop at least 15 to 20 (Continued on Page Eight) WAMfS LOST. FOUND. STRAYED. STOLEN. FOR RENT, FOR SALE, ETC, ETC.

OCALA, FLORIDA THE STORY OF A LOST PIG The following story of a lost pig written to the Southern Ruralist by Kirby Wells of Jennings, Fla., we know will be appreciated by the members of the Boys Pig Clubs who are readers of the Banner: “Wheii I was five years old a little pig got lost from its mother* and came to the house almost starved. I took it in the yard and fed it milk and raised it. It was a Duroc gilt. I kept her four years. She raised 30 pigs. I sold them to papa at $2.00 apiece, and sold the sow for $6.00, which brought me $66.00. I have a good sow, now, and five goats and SSO-00 in cash- 1 am going to save for good investment. I am ten years old and do enjoy seeing after my hogs and goats. CRANSON TRtSTLE I can not sleep tonight, because Across the road a woman sings An ancient song of love and peace. A haunting melody that clings. Why should her singing make me sad, And drive me to the verge of tears? Ah, there is foolishness in youth, And bitter paying with the years. —R. Fcrteseue Doria, in the London Bookman. I, too. am slumberless because Across the court a woman sings “I Never Knew,” “All By Myself,” And other not unjazzy things. Why should her singing madden me And push me o’er the brink of tears? Oh, louder and flatter doth she sing Than anyone I’ve heard in years. —F. P. A- in N. Y. Tribune. No singer makes me want to fight, But my blood jumps to fever heat When mortorcycles in the night Go tearing up and down the street- I cannot sleep until they stop; It does beat all how long they run. Lord, if I were a traffic cop, I T d be a mighty busy one. —Doc Bixby, in Nebraska State Journal. I cannot sleep. Nobody sings, In tones that drive my sleep away. Yet I think of a mil.ion things As 1 toss sleepless on the hay.
