r Pffi ' I 2 Agricultural Lint Gains by Ripening. Progressive Farmer. Does cotton lint gain in weigh1 in ripening? I cnu corroborat* the statement of Mr. G.M. Davii from facts and figures obtainec about forty years ago. On flu 1 cl fif .fnnnarv 1 fifi7 ?nv tirnlliiir myself, and our aged mothe moved to a larm adjoining one now own. This very questioi was among the projects m, brother and I used to sit c nights to study ^out. So \v weighed out of one picking 1,20 pounds of seed cotton and put i in a room separate from all othe cotton. We then picked 1,20 pounds and carried it to gin tli same day, allowing no toll, bu paying in cash ($1.25) for tii ginning. That was in the firs week of October, 18(JS. The bal weighed 432 pounds. The middle of February, 18t>0 we carried the 1,200 pound that we had put aside and had i ginned on the same gin. Thii bale weighed 474 pounds, and i not only gained in weight, bu it -was improved in lint by sever al grades. The circumstance which caused my brother and myself t< make the test was this: In thost days we would giu and ship tc our lactor, as many poor farmert do now, as fast as the cotton wa.< picked until we had shipped enough to pay him up. Then abei the middle of January we would gin and ship the balance. The last of February, or first of March we went to him anil had our settlement. He was a? honest a factor as ever was, and when he gave U9 the statemontof the number and weight of the bales shipped wo could never understand why tlie bales we shipped in the fall wore so much lighter than those shipped alter the fust ot the year. But we understood it after we made the experiment I have related. W. H. Sutcliflfe. Berkeley Co., S. C. How to Cure Your Meat. Southern Cultivator. I am a subscriber to your valuable paper.

People lold me before I came here that L could not have good meat but have had a* pood meat thin year as I ever ate, in fact, never have lost, any meat yet and this is my plan in brief: Kill on a reasonably cool and clear day, let your lions hang and drip a while alter being cleaned, take down and cut up; lay out in as cool a place as you have handy, Sprinkle salt on while warm, let lay over night and salt down. This is all right north of Atlanta, but here 1 did some ex tra work. 1 unjointed ever\ piece, took out loin bone am' hock joint of hams. These are good while fresh but are rarely THE LAfcCASTEK NEW Department JJMi cooked if left on ham and it is flljfll the joints that spoil and it don't ?l|i|?i disfigure your ham either.

After all my ,1 mentis placed in box I level with U; J e salt and put ail bones in a separp ite box and don't tear up this f neat under four weeks. At this r time it weat her is suitable 1 take 0 up, have some warm water, wash p >rine off, have some borax pul! verized in a pepper box, put this 0 oil rough places to keep skippers t out. Then uao'sonie corn meal e pretty black with ground black : pepper and rub ou meat while * :.i wet, lay out -or hang up until |||||| a diy, have some corn cobs and i|p$| ( have a clean box. Put a layer 3 cobs to a layer of meat, this holds v i |? 1 meat apart so air,can pass through t and dry in damp weather and . again, if your bones get too salty before the family can eat them, . take some fresh water, salt un- lllsjl , sil it will swim a fresh egg pretty :;; ? high, place meat in it and i? , will keep fresh. Change water , every five or six days as it will , sour by thoso methods. I have never lost any meat. WM'4% C. H. R. Tifton, Gs. ? Farmers Should Sow More Grain.
