editorial staff—L. S. Allen editor,
W. A. Fowler local editor, and
Miss Ola Jones will still retain the
social department. We extend our
best wishes, both to The Southern
Record and its plucky little town.

PiokliuB Beef.
Question. —Will you be so kind as to
give me the best method of piokling
beef? Also inform me of the best way
to hogs. save pork. I expect to kill SO fat
Answer. —There are several good re¬
ceipts for pickling beef. The following
is simple and will give satisfaction: Cut
up your beef in pieces to suit, rub well
with salt and pack tightly, or rather
closely, in a barrel or cask two days be¬
fore putting in pickle. This draws out
the blood and the meat must be taken
out of this first vessel and washed be¬
fore packing for pickling. Then pack
in a clean oak or cypress barrel as
closely as possible, and when the barrel
is nearly full pour over the meat a brine
made as follows: To 4 gallons of water
add 7 pounds of salt, 2% ounces of salt¬
petre and 1 *<j pounds of granulated su¬
gar, boil, strain with care and let it be
perfectly cold before pouring it on the
meat. Then put a weight on the meat
to keep it down below the surface of the
brine. In a few weeks the beef will be
ready for use.
The same method may be pur¬
sued in curing hams and shoulders
of hogs. If then you wish to smoke
your hams aud shoulders take them
out of the pickle in five weeks,
wipe dry aud hang up for a day
or two before smoking. Then smoke
with corn cobs or hickory wood for a
week or ten days, taking care that the
meat does not get hot while being
smoked. After smoking, dip the hams
and shoulders for 30 seconds in boiling
water, to destroy any eggs that the flies
may have deposited on them; then wipe
dry and wrap them in sweet, well cured
hay, and slip them in cheap sacks of
any kind that have no holes in them.
Lastly tie np and hang in a cool place.
Hams thus treated will be good at all
times, aud best after liauging up for 12
mouths. The sides and heads may be
pickled in the same way, and then
smoked or not as you prefer. Here is
another receipt for those who like spice-
flavored meats: For every 100 pounds
of meat take 8 pounds salt, 3 pounds of
brown sugar (or 1 quart of molasses), 2
ounces of saltpetre, 2V£ ounces of cloves
and ounces of black pepper. Put
these in sufficient water to cover the
meat when packed, and boil and skim
carefully; when perfectly cold, pour
ever the meat, that has been packed in
a barrel or cask, keeping the meat
weighed down below the brine. Of
course the meat to be thus pickled
should be well rubbed with salt and
packed, for two days before pickling, in
order to draw out the blood. Then take
up and wash before pickling. There
is no trouble in saving the side meat;
either cut up and pickle as above, or rub
well and pack in boxes, putting plenty
of salt on each layer of meat as yon pack
it If you desire to smoke the sides,
take them out of the salt in five weeks,
and treat them as yon do the shoulders.
If you cannot get the oldfashioned
coarse salt increase the quantities re-
commended at least io per cent. Much
pork is lost in Georgia every year, es-
pecially in the southern portion of the
state, by trying to cure it by the dry
salted method, and again much is lost
by allowing it to get heated while smok-
ing. By piokling and care in smoking
none should ever be lost.-State Agri-
cultural Department.

over this common wealth ;
Resolved ist,That we hereby put
ourselves on record as steady and
unfaltering advocates of a strict
construction of, and the firm, un¬
compromising execution of law,
such as shall deal out justice to
offenders against society, without
fear or favor.
Resolved 2nd. That we hereby
pledge our earnest support and
faithful co-operation to all officers

Fertilizing an Orchard.
Question.— I have a young peach
orchard under my care that needs im¬
mediate attention—fertilizing, pruning
and cultivating. I turned under a crop
of green pea vines last summer; now
will it need fertilizing with commercial
manures this spring, or would you ad¬
vise to rely on the pea vines alone?
Answer.— It is no easy matter to re-
new the vigor of a young orchard that
has been neglected, and the trees con¬
sequently dwarfed and stunted. Es¬
pecially is this difficult where the soil is
naturally poor, or partially exhausted.
Turning under the pea vines was of
course beneficial, adding nitrogen and
humus to the soil, but it would have
been better to have left the vines to die
on the land before turning under, as
you would in that way have obtained
better resnlts, both In the way of nitro-
gen and humos . y oa cannot rely alone
U p 0n the vines plowed under last sum-
me r, but this spring, and as early as
possible, yon must apply at the rate of
posed of 800 ^ pounds aCTe ', of 1 acid ^ilteer phosphate, com-
g00 pounds of kainit, and 400 pounds of
cottonseed meal, applying it more liber-
ally near and arouud the trees than else-
"»<*•. /"ra this fertiliser under, be-
ing careful in doing so, not to injure the
roofcs Q f the trees. The latter part of
April, sow broadcast in peas, allowing
none, however, to grow within 3 or 4
*eet of the trunk of the trees. This
clear space about the trees must be kept
free from grass and weeds, and the
ground kept mellow with the hoe,
through the growing season. Pick the
peas as they ripen, and in the early fall,
P low ander the dead vines ‘ rmmin *
your plow as deep as possible, always
being careful not to injure the roots of
the trees. Repeat the process next
year, using the same fertiliser, and your
land should then be in fine condition,
and your trees restored to their lost
