As nearl_§.' all of our great in- dustries now have their special training schools wherein new recruits maybe drilled for the §<‘reat battle of life. it is l)ut natural that the farmer. who represents the greatest industry of this country. should feel that want of wider provision in this direction which is so often voiced in the farmers‘ institute. the (.}raiige, and the Alliance. As the professional teacher is 10th to in- troduce into the school room any- thing of untested value as a dis- .ciplina1'y study. and the farmer can see but little use for the: teaching of anything that has not a direct utilitarian value. there exists a contest between the teacher and the layman as to rela- tive importance of studies already in the curriculum and those pro- posed. The teacher insists that agriculture is not discipliiiary in character. and hence not a proper subject for the school room 1" and besides there has never been an .1 text-book upon this subject written. The farmer ~ values discipline less highly than utility. and says the only way to get a text—book in agriculture is I simply to write one. But in this are not both wrong‘? ‘When the teacher realizes fully 3 -at agricul- ture. as an art. comprlihends all those operations and processes :by which the 1'esoiirces of the ‘soil are made useful to man througli the animal and vegetable kingdoms, and that very many itself. and learn soiiietliiug of its habits of growth. and of how to supply inissiiig food eleinents b_\' proper manuring.

And when the farmer has these facts fully in mind. will he not admit that a text-book upon this subject that would have any value at all, would cost more labor than the writing of a tirst reader, and would be far beyond the compre- yhension of a vast majority of those who make up our school . census? The trade-school idea cannot be adopted in the teaching of agriculture. The object of such a school is to turn out those who have technical skill which shall be developed in a high degree. In a training for agriculture, it is scientific knowledge that is needed to supplement and make effective in after life the hoine-gained technical skill. Though lacking a suitable text- book. much may be done towards the accomplishment of the ends sought by both the teacher and the farmer by the teaching of the easily understood tirst principles of what may be called the obser- vation sciences. Discipline and utility are both found here. Elaborate instruction in the natural and physical sciences im- plies the use of expensive apparatus and laboratories far ystow the higher education on laspiring youth. for their enjoy- ment. or. perhaps. to enable them to gain a better livelihood, and. perchance. accumulate wealth in some profession.

And that man was invited to read a paper to en- lighten farmers.

The crop of corn in 1889 had been the largest in nine years. It amounted to more than two thousand one hundred millions of bushels. and for this crop the farmers received an average of twenty-eight cents a bushel—the lowest average price in nine years. The corn crop of last year. on was actually consumed in theg country than of the large crop; of 1889; and for it the consumersi paid an average price—~to the‘ farmer at his farm—-of about! eighty-four cents a bushel, as? against about seventy cents fori the crop of 1889. y The average inhabitant of the 1 ment of the various agricultural districts. but these are available later on through the public and private grants for the establish- schools of the country.

Progressive Farming. Hon. ‘»\.'m. Ball‘s paper before the Farxncrsf lns-i titntc at Ann AIL: r. The question of paramount in- terest among the farmers of the country to-day is. not so much how to grow good crops of grain or how to breed and raise good cattle. sheep. horses, swine, etc._. as to devise some means by which they may receive a fair equival- ent for them in the markets of the country in the form of money. Various theories and ideas on this subject are being promul- gated by numerous doctors on political economy. which are as greatly at variance with each * other as new-born theories a1'e apt to be. The successful physi- cian before prescribing for his patient will carefully diagnose the case. and after having satis- fied himself what is the matter. will prescribe proper and suita- ble remedies. of patients who come under doc- tors’ care are there from fancied ills and disorders. The skilled physician will soon discover the real from the fancied illness of his numerous patients and pre- scribe accordingly. In a similar manner should the doctors on po- litical economy proceed in dis- covering the real from the fan- cied troubles in this A(;1t1c'L'L'1‘L'1tAL l)El’RESSl01\' and great care should be ob- served in all directions lest the remedies be worse than the dis- case. In undertaking to evolve any theory which will accomplish what is desired in the way of better prices and a greater de- mand for farm c.ommodities. there are many things to be con sidered. First. have we. as farmers, carefully considered and formed any satisfactory opinion as to the kinds and qualities of agricultural products needed in the markets of the world? Are we cognizant of the fact that ag- riculture is undergoing a revolu- tion in nearly all of its depart- ments: that the rapid settlement of the vast tracts of fertile. cheap lands of the west has transferred a large amount of the growing of grains and stock to those localities. and that the more eastern portions of the country no longer have a mo- nopoly on these product.ions‘.‘ Such are the facts. and the farm- ers of Michigan and other cen- tral states must understand them and be guided by the logic of passing events. Vfith all the de- tails in the production of grains. wool. stock. etc.. understood. the fact still remains that farm pro- duce is low. and what shall be done to enhance prices to a pay- ing basis is the question of the hour. Among the numerous reasons given for this state of af- fairs, and upon whic 1 much stress is laid. is the lack of sufficient circulating medium. To this real or supposed deficiency in money is attributed largely the cause of low prices for farm pro- duce by a large number of peo- ple. and as a remedy they de- mand an inflation in the currency_ in the form of greenbacks. silver certificates. free coinage of sil- ver, or in other forms of gov- ernment notes. even to the amount of fifty dollars per cap- ita for every man. woman and child in the country. Good bus- iness judgment would halt. be- fore adopting so visionary a scheme. at least long enough to calculate the indebtedness it would entail upon the govern ment. In individual transac- tions the creditor wishes to know whether the debtor or maker of a note has the ability to pay at the time the note or obligation ma- tures before he will advance money on them. I have noted that government securities in the money markets of the world are largely influenced as to value according to the financial condi- tion of the government offering them for sale. The greater the outstanding amount of indebted ness against an individual the less his promises to pay are worth. So it must be with any govern- ment that adopts such a scheme as the one under consideration. Iam not entirely satisfied that there is so great a lack of circu- A large number‘ Emay be scarce. but that is the abuse of a privilege and not in ‘ the honest. legitimate way of do- ing business. I hardly think there is a farmer in this audience that has any trouble in getting all the money for his products that they would bring. I have never seen the time when I had produce to sell that was wanted but there was money enough to pay for it at its market value. which is and always must be largely controlled by the laws of supply and demand. If the ex- perience of other farmers has :been like mine. and what has been said to be true. we must seek some other cause for the ex- isting depression and suggest different remedies. It costs a certain a nount in labor. land and material to produce a bushel of wheat. and it is quite important that the farmer should receive «. for it when taken to market what it is worth for manufacturing purposes at the place of manu- facture. He should not be con- fronted with the fact that down in Detroit or elsewhere there is a combination of men who make laws governing THE I.\'s1>I-:c'rio.\' or‘ WHEAT to suit their speculative pur- poses without regard to the good ‘of the producer. But such is the fact. and by the methods pursued the farmer who is care- ful to offer no wheat in the mar- ket except it be in first-class condition as to quality and clean- liness. does not receive what his wheat is worth, while the farmer who is not careful in regard to the qualitv of his grain receives a price comparatively greater. a premium upon poorer methods in farming and inferior quality of grain. and thus poor and good wheat mixed together with other wheat of doubtful quality an(l a grade made and price es- tablished in conformity to the de- sires of the gentlemen who con- trol the inspection. and the far- mer who furnishes the different parts in this mixture is left en- tirely in the dark as to the real value of his part of the contri- bution. The difference that the farmer received for his good wheat from what he should have received had it been properly classed went to line the pockets of the men who live largely upon what rightfully belonged to the producer. This part of agricultural depression -can be remedied by properlegislation in the form of state inspection. and every farmer in Michigan should demand of the member of the legislature from his district that he should be instrumental in passing‘ such a law that shall place this matter of inspection of wheat and other grains under some form of adequate state in- specfion. In connection with this matter of inspection. which I believe is injurious to the interests of the farmer. is what is styled the DETROIT BOARD 01-‘ TRADE. It is an instituton either legal or illegal. which controls the price of wheat after it has passed through the inspection process by a sympathetic organization. if not a part and parcel of the same concern. By its manipula- tion and operations. the grains raised by the farmers of the State are sold and resold times without number. without any actual delivery of the grain sold. The farmer no longer endeavors to find out what his wheat is worth for actual manufacture and consumption. but takes what he can get when he is compelled to sell. and the price is entirely controlled by the stock jobbers and gamblers who manage and control this concern of doubtful ‘utility and legality. The Louis jiana lottery business has at last l been largely curtailed by govern- lment interposition. and I fail to lsee but little difference in many jof its features. as both are really lgames of hazard. and injurious I to the good business interests of tthe country. This and similar boards of trade are composed of i a large number of men who live lsumptuously. sustain expensive }buildings and expensive equip- Iments. and pay high salaries to above. the assistance of the State should be invoked and asked to control by law or else eradicate the unmitigated evil. Such efforts would be more practical and more in line of safe procedure than the scheme of inflating a currency. which .would enable tliese organizations ‘to still further oppress the pro- ducer. These two monopolies are not .needed for the good Of the Con)- ‘munitics of business legitimately lperformed. and if suffered to ex .;lSt they should be placed under ilegal restraint and control. If ,‘ so placed. and their power to do [harm be greatly lessened. quite 1 a large margin of profits wrong- jfullyrwrested from the producer iby these concerns would revert lto the parties to whom it right- l fully belongs. * Various schemes are on foot 5 all over the country to aid in the general depression of agricul- ture. Among then‘.-. besides the inflation scheme proper. is the one demanded by political econo- my doctors as feasible and full of promise. It is the one known as the. 'l"\'\'O PER L'l‘II\"l' L0.-\..\’ S(,'}ll£.\ll-J. introduced into the United States senate by Senator Leland Stanford. of California. which is that the government of the United States loan money to farmers upon real estate. paya- ble at the option of the borrow- ers any time before the expira- tion of twenty years from the time of the loan. at an interest annually of two per cent. Aside from the grave doubts as to the policy of the government becom- ing a loan association. there are several peculiarities connected with this scheme which need at- tending to. One is that the de- mand comes from a class of farmers who individually and collectively have condemned what is known as (:L.\ss L1«:(:isI..\'1‘1().\'. During the past few years. there has been a strong feeling forming in the minds of farmers generally that too much legisla- tion has been in the interests of moneyed monopoly It has been severely condemned by honest people and political demagogues alike. Mhty of the same men individual y and in an organized capacity are now asking for special class legislation for the bcnefit of a class. Another is. that its champion should be one of the wealthiest millionaires in the country. VVhen was ever a plan so ridiculous? The cham- pion of the so-called oppressed state of affairs now existing. and which has largely aug- mented his accumulations: presi- dent of one of the great rail- roads of the country; a large beneficiary of the government in the form of millions of acres of valuable public domain in the form of agricultural lands. He! the champion of a measure to help out of difficulty the men whom he has by his vast mone- tary power placed in this un- fortunate condition. VVas ever a thing more absurd? The scheme is not a tenable one, for a large number who would avail them- selves of its benefits. if any there might be. would be deprived of any help on account of not own- ing a sufficient amount of real estate or farming lands to en- able them to become debtors to the government. It would be class legislation with a ven- gence. what might or might not ensue, if such a scheme should be en- acted into a law. I am happy to say that for the present at least it will not become a law. The committee on finance in the sen- ate reported adversely the bill for said purpose. Embodied in the report- is the following lan- guage: "The bill appears to be intended to supply a paper legal tender currency by permitting any owners of land to give a lien upon the same to the United States government for which the mortgagees are to receive legal lating medium in the country as employees. live and thrive out of l tender paper currency and be some people claim. times when speculator ora number of them wish to make a corner on the grain markets and buy largely and hold the product that money ;the grain thus gambled over. éThis, also. is a matter that the .ifarme1's of the State should in- tvestigate. and if found as stated There arelthe profits. a large portion oflcharged two per cent interest. some avarictous l w ich belong to the producers of The measure is of unlimited magnitude." I The report contends that land Iowners for the larger part (the only class to be benefitted) are being one of the very men whom l they claim has been largely in-i strumental in bringing about the.

Wliat is true. and has been in all other branches of business in their past history will be true in .1l.‘JI‘l(‘ttlt1ii':tl operations in the fu- ture. The sn.\m* co.\1m«:'rI'1'ioI\' in all other enterprises is at the door of the farmer‘s lntsiness. ‘and he is wise who gives heed to ‘the fact and prepares himself to nicet it successfully. Some well- ‘devised. well-studied and care- ‘fully matured plan of procedure ‘should be made by every farmer. and faithfully and persistently followed throughout the whole year. The wastes attending the tbarnyard. the waste of good food in sufficient quantities to poor scrub stock must cease. jLess numbers. but more pounds and of a better quality must be bred and fed. Better quarters. better care and attention to the peculiar wants of different ani- mals fed must be given if a profit is made in feeding and rearing any kind of farm stock. Better lwool and more to the carcass lmust be grown. Better judg- lment in breeding must be used jand more care in raising lambs. 3Notl'iit1g should be wasted or 5 lost for want of care and thought. Less number of acres should be planted or sown. but by better tillage. a better condition of the soil tilled with better judgment used. more will be raised on the less number of acres used. More la11d can be used for pasturing. more cattle. horses. sheep and swine can be kept and the fer- tility of the land increased. Leaks in the waste of the farmer's time in winter general- ly should cease. Less expense should be indulged in to gratify the growing foolish and injuri- ous habits of using tobacco. beer. etc. Less time should be spent in town and more given to thought and labor on the farm in iwinter to help on the work of the summer. More reading and study should be given by farm- :ers to the business they are en- gaged in. The cost of the stock raised or the grain grown should be known as well as the amount received in the. way of proceeds either by increase or sales made. in order to determine the profit or loss. Better care of tools should be given by proper housing and cleaning. Habits of economy should be encouraged. and chil- dren taught that self dependence is necessary if success is reached. Habits of industry should be insisted upon. and every child old enough should be required to do manual labor in proportion to its age and physi- cal ability. .\'0 HEALTHY i)I__ H.\.\nLTo.\'. Mir-li..

In a discussion of this kind it would be well for us to keep in view a few of the facts upon which the system of the world's exchange is built: 1. Deeper than all statute laws are the eternal and necessary laws of the universe. (a) such as a measure of value-«as moncy--- must itself possess value. the same as a iiieasurc of length must itself possess length; (b) the material iiscd as money must be desirable to mankind, and must be universally desir- able; (c) and that abundance of money is not a certain index to prosperity. but may on the con- trary indicate merely a stagna- tion in tliccountry's business; (d)' and finally. that a farmer doesn‘t need a dollar in money for every dollar's worth of property he may own any more than he needs a half—busliel nieasiire for every half- bushel of grain he has in his granaries. L’. Any sudden changes in business relations. such as tariff tinl-feriiig or currency inflation. is always prejudicial to the in- dustrial interests of the country. The immediate granting of the Farmers‘ Alliance (Omaha) plat- form requests by the government would disarraiige the country”s business and prosperity in a way and in a degree never before ox- perienced in human history. and to claim that unmixed good would come out of the ivreck of financial systeins would be to guess wildly. and would rescin- blc too closely the wisdom of the physician who proposed to turn a child's scarlet fever into lits— because. forsootli. he could cure fits. 3. Our own governments pro- mise to pay money to the holder thereof is by law made a legal tender and circulates as money on a par with the gold and silver money. because the people be- lieve in the government's ability to pay the thing promised—the real dollar in value. and of which the paper is but the representa- tive. In the last thirty years our country has been treated to an abundance of experiments in the way of an inflated. cheap cur- rency—gold at a ruinous pre- mium. and all kinds of valuable property high. everything desir- able but the government‘s legal tender notes; and in the way of an irresponsible wildcat system of state and private banking. when a man was uneasy and couldn't sleep well because he had plenty of money. and also had a suspicion that it wasn't worth anything. that “banks broke"—promises not worth any- thing. purchasing power a minus quantity. With these exper- iences within easy remembrance of many farmers it is well for us to remember gratefully the wis- dom of statesmanship that has insured us the use of a safe. con- venient, flexible and in all re- spects a desirable system of na- tional supervision of the circu- lating medium. 4. In view of these facts. al- though there may be wrongs to be righted and reforms to be made, I believe itwill be the part of wisdom for farmers and others to go slowly in order to do wisely and well the work that needs the doing; and in doing this work to ioolilyu, N.

The National Grange. at its recent session held in the city of Atlanta, Georgia. provided that for the current year the Secre- tary of the National Grange should pay to each legally ap- pointed Organizing Deputy the sum of $5.00 for each new Grange organized by him . upon the receipt of the ofricial papers and applica- tion for charter. accompanied by the constitutional fee of $l;'i.()(J; and 00 for each dormant Grange reorganized with not less _ than twenty members. The order in case of new Granges is mail. \Vhen a Dormant Grange explicit and requires no further has been reorganized as above explanation. D()I'ln£LI1t(i1'ZtIIg‘(,‘S, provided. the Sec1'etf.1',j,' of the referred to in the above order. are of two classes. viz: 1 st. Those whose charters have been suspended by the Master of law: and. '_’d. Those that have formally surrendered their charters through the Secretary of the State Grange to the Na- tional G1'ai’ige. \Vliere the Cliarter‘ol' a Grange has been "revoked" for cause. it is not classed as Dormant. but extinct. and cannot therefore. be re- organized cxcept by order of the l\'ational Grange. which alone has authority to “issue. revoke. and restore charters." Dormant Graiiges maybe re- organized under such regulations as the State Granges may pro- vide. in harmony with National Grange laws, and the charters of those of the first class can be re- stored by the Master of the State Grange; but those of the second class. after reorganization and the election of ofiicers. must apply through the Secretary of the State Grange to the Secre- tary of the National Grange for the restoration of their charters. Where charters are lost. duplicate charters will be issued. Organiz- ing Deputies should. therefore. apply to the Secretary of the State Grange for information regarding the con dition of Dormant Granges to be reorganized: and State Masters should suspend the Charters of all Subordinate Graiiges which have, under State Grange regula- tions and National Grange laws. forfeited their Charters and ceased to work; for not until that is done can reorganization be effected. As the work of reorganiz- ing Dormant Granges is done mainly under State Grange regu- lations. it is not deemed advisable to give any definite instructions to be strictly followed by Deputies in the work. but tlieitxvtwii St. Louis, St. Paul and Mimic- gipolis. following National Grange law should be strictly followed. and the brief suggestions which follow may not be out of place: "Dormant Granges may be re- organized by the Master of the State Grange. or by a duly authorized Deputy; when less than thirteen of the members desire to do so. by admitting members residing within the jur- Ta Grange. --Gico.

Here is a sample just received in a leaflet circular for publication in the V1s1'1‘o1<: Statistics covering a number of years show that all the money invested in farms. factories and mines combined with all the labor also invested o11ly earns an aver- age profit of about three per cent. a year: while it is well known that money invested as money in banks. on mortgages. in bonds. etc.. earns from five to twenty per cent. per annum. and that. too. without one bit of labor on the part of the owner or loan- er of the money. But say the average earnings of 1noney—as money~—is six per cent.. even then it earns twice as much as money combined with labor. and invested in farms. factories. mines. etc... and there- fore money by itself has an im- mense advantage over produc- tive industry. Now this statement which falls so glibly from the tongue or pen. taken as it reads, conveys a very false impression. It is intended to create jealously between peo- ple in the country and other classes who have more money than the average of farmers and to incite to communistic ideas and a spirit of antagonism against a very worthy class of citizens, who are able to live without labor—a condition every one of these malcontents is striving to attain. It says that a man with small capital. who labors. ought to live as well as persons with large capital with- out labor. The contrast in the two first sentences of the above extract are entirely misleading and un- true. The statement is evident- ly directed to farmers. but it is an insult to their intelligence, to expect them to believe it or to be influenced by it. Let us sup- pose the average value of farms and their appurtenances to be $5000. The “three per cent.“ per year profit alluded to is of course above the living of the family which comes off it. but of which no account is ever made, for it would be nonsense to say thata family can subsist upon $150. which is the three per cent. assumed in the statement. Let any farmer sell his farm and in vest his $5000 in “bank stock" or “bonds" or “mortgages” and receive the average of “five to twenty per cent.” which would of a 12.} per cent. income on 71000. 3tl1e>I<'.'1000 investment in a farm. 1, than the banker on a $10,000 in- ' vestment “without one bit of labor." as our generalizing phil- osopher puts it. Take the third proposition in of practical affairs it is simply silly, and isn‘t worth analyzing. If a person has money enough to support him. without labor. in nine cases out of ten he has earned it by his labor in the past. and we ought rather to rejoice that he is now able to enjoy a res- pite from physicalexertion which is the aspiration and laudable de- sire of every toiler. What prac- tical good can come from circu- lating such antitheses It only breeds a desire for a change of places and that cannot be ac- complished without revolution or highway robbery. Those who have a faculty for accumulating wealth. will constantly seek out and secure the soft places. This is the spur which prompts to endeavor. An effort to create a public sentiment which will divide the people into classes. separated by the distinction of wealth. is un- patriotic at least and treads the border land of communism. The Grange must stand in an atmos- phere above such grovelling sen- ltiments. We cannot admit these to our columns. even though we are taunted with selling o11t to bankers and 11ot daring to give both sides a hearing. The Vis- ITOR is on the side of the farmers‘ best interest as we see it. Our intercourse with them is of such a character that we ought to un- derstand the trend of sentiment and we should be derelict to duty did we not reflect it though the columns of their paper. A few may criticise our course and be offended. but we shall trust to events to vindicate the position we take. dearly bought which already has in it the ferment of decay. We urge upon farmers everywhere. and upon every question. to do their own thinking and not be swayed by clamor nor by the representations of demagogues, who trifle with their intelligence. Juggling with figures is the agi- tators strongest weapon. They are usually very staid characters. but they can be made to lie. It is always safe to distrust a rank statement and to ask for a specific application. We need to turn the light of an electric lamp on some of the statements going the rounds of the papers. under this, generalizing with figures will fade. {CO}: The Changed Outlook. "There is a tide in the affairs of men:" it has its ebb and flow; there is also a pendulous swing- ing of business from slack to flush times: in the seasons. from arid or untimely conditions of climate to fruitful and propitious years. There seems to have been a combination of all these ad- verse circumst-ances leagued against agriculture for several years. Callow philosophers everywhere have diagnosed the difficulty, each. having his unfail- ing remedy for some especial disease. which was unlike that described by his fellow seer. It may now be truthfully said that the conditions were natural ones against which no wisdom of leg- islation. or the foreknowledge the extract quoted: in the light? 1 1 l A present notoriety is 1 The tide seeins now to have turned toward an era of prosper- ity. This favorable condition has been foreshadowed for more than a year. The Visrrou has constantly advised the farmers of its approach. as its regular readers will atiirin.

On the rising wave of prosperity the Grange will be the flag ship of the squadron. The evidences of a return to prosperous times are emphasized in the sale of every product of the farm. Fi- nanciers of national fame pre- sage a prosperous year in every line of business. and they base their predictions largely on the outlook agriculturally. The spring has opened auspiciously for both fruits and grains. A study of the ‘:Market Review and Indications" in this number. prepared by E. A. Wildey. shows the direction of prices for farm animals. Wool is the only farm product that is 11ot stimulated by this universal energy. The opening of the market will doubt- less sce,:1 change. While every- thing else is advancing. wool will be a good thing to hold if satis- factory prices are not offered. The advice of the Visrrou is to take in every legitimate dollar and pay every legitimate debt and thus be fortified against an- other "evil day.“ ——--»--—< co - - - -- There is a sort of prophesy in the very air that the season will be a prosperous one for farmers.

The wool market is reported as being bare of all de- sirable wools. and the wide dif- ference in advancement in values may be d11e to this fact.

There has been a lively interest taken in the work on both sides. The number of points will be lcounted and the result declared yat o11r next regular ineeting; and ithen what a feast we will have. lall provided for by the side mak- ling the least number of points. We have had four applications for membership and two rein- stated. and others are knocking at the door, and we do not give the answer so familiar years ago in the negro ballad. "Stop dat knocking, stop dat knocking. can you neber stop dat knocking at de doah?" But we invite them right in and try to make them feel at home in the Grange. We sent for and received two car- loads of plaster this spring from the Western Plaster Agency. and are well satisfied with the result. Every Grange desiring to use plaster ought to patronize the plaster agency of Grand Rapids. as I believe them to be perfectly reliable. On the 18th inst. I droveten miles through the mud to the south part of Clayton township and organized a Grange with 22 charter members, and everything looks favorable for a strong Grange to be built up in that neighborhood. There seems to be a kindly feeling here among the agriculturists towards the ‘Grange. I shall try and organ- ize two more Granges in this county during the summer. Now. Mr. Editor. I only in- tended when I commenced this to send the order for the V1sIT- ORS. and if this is not all con- signed to the waste basket (ex- cept the money) I may have the courage to write more at some other time.

M. M.. who asked for this rule. Iias in mind. “'0 do not think there is any large iiiaiiiifactiirer of potted and deviled nicats in this coiiiitry. though there are a number oi’ establishments where caiined meats are put up in tin. Tongue is cooked and prepared exactly like the ham for potting. except that in place of the fat of the ham two tablespoonfuls of butter are added to every pound of chopped ineat; and salt to tin- tastc. Plain potted tongue is ex- ceediiigiy nice cut in slices for saiidwiciics. Tliese iiieats all need to bc packed vcry tirmiy. They iiiust be quite cold and :i very l-zecti-edgeti knife must bl- used when they are sliced. Tin,- cake of butter on top of a potted meat is first removed when thi- meat is taken out of the jar and may be used for basting meats. frying oinelets or potatoes. or almost any meat cooking. or for cream or other meat or fish sauces. We have never seen ham fat tried out and used over the top of potted ham. but probably it could be used with perfect success in place of butter. In extensive potting operations this would be a considerable item of saving. The only use of the butter on the potted meat is to exclude the air. Country housekeepers seal up their pans of sausage meat in this same way which they do not intend for immediate use. cover- ing them with lard and keeping them in a very cold place.—N. Y.
