Dry Cure?I)o not rut up the pork till the carcass is well chilled. Make a mixture of clean, line salt 40 pounds; white or brown sugar, 10 pounds; wfiite or black pepper, four pounds; red pepper, one-ha'f pound, This will make enough cure for about 1,000 pounds of pork. If saltpeter is desired, use two pounds in V. the above mixture. It will give a red color to the lean meat, but has ^ a tendency to harden the meat too much. Chili saltpeter may be used instead of the regular saltpeter by taking about 20 per cent. less. Rub each piece of meat thoroughly with the cure. Take special care to work the cure around the ends of bone of hams and shoulders. Pack skin down on a table or in a box in a cool airy place. Do not place in direct sunlight or in a damp, musty cellar. After four or five days overhaul the meat, rub thoroughly with the cure and repack; repeat this in about a week. Hams and shoulders should remain in the cure from one and one-half days to two days per' pound weight of niece: the latter dizzy jams Relieved After Taking Two Bottles v- Of Cardoi, Says Tennessee W{ Whltwell, Tenn.?Mrs. O. P. Cart^ Wright, of tills place, writes: "About four years ago the dizzy spells got so bad that when I would start to walk I would Just pretty near fall. I wasn't past doing my work, but was very much run-down. I told my husband I thought Cardut would help me, as a lady who lived next aoor to me had taken a great deal, and told me to try It. Thin was * when we were living In Kentucky. My husband got me a bottle and I took It according to directions. It helped me so much that he went bade and got me another bottle. I got a whole lot better and Just quit taking It. I got over the dizzy spells...! took no other medicine at that time nor since for this trouble. No, I've never regretted taking Cardul. I felt just fine when I finished the Second bottle."

Bncon should be ill tha cure a shorter time Ten days will give a very nice mild cure to a six or eight pound piece. Brine Cqfre?Make a brine by boiling seven pounds' of clean salt and two pounds of white or brown su gar with two gallons of water. II saltpeter is desired, add one-fourth pound. This gives about enough tr j cover 100 pounds of pork when wel ' packed. Sprinkle a little cleun fin. salt in the bottom of the barrel, ruL euch piece of meat lightly with the ! salt, sprinkle a light layer of salt be; tween each layer of meat, l'ut on j a board and weight down with a rock. I Allow to stand over night. Tip bar' rel on side and allow the liquor to run out. Cover the meat with the ' cold brine and allow to stand in a 1 cool place four or five days. OverI haul, repack and cover with the same brine. Repeat in about a week. Give the meat the same length of time for 1 curing as with the dry cure. When the curing is complete, wash off the excess cure and hang in the smokehouse. Mcut kept in the cure too long should be soaked in warm water to remove the excess of the cure. Smoke with hickory, oak or any non-re*inmi? a?-? nuvu. ;l?uiu an wood of the pine family. With a continuous smudge the smoking can be completed in 24 hours. With intermittent smoking, longer time is necessary, as cold meat "takes the smoke" slowly. Wrap the meat to keep it away from the skippers. If rats or mice get at the meat they soon open a way for skippers. In damp wealh'.T cured meats will wold. This is not injurious except it is advisable to use up shoulders, as the mold grow in the cracks and calls for excessive trimming. Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot roach the diseased portion of ths ear. There Is only one way to cure catarrhal deafness, and that Is by a constitutional remedy. / mnrn ciiuin t>y an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you hnvo a rumbling sound or Imperfect bearing, and when It Is entirely closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless the Inflammation can be reduced and this tube restored to Its normal oondltlon, hearing will be destroyed forever.
