For Curing Hams.
i
Well cured hams have always
beeu delicacies. Lucullus charm- j
ed the most critical taste of Rome ;
with his hams, and the old Sax
ons learned the method from the !
Romans, carrying their knowledge
with them to England, and in
course of time sending with their
best blood across the ocean.
In this country Virginia has j
long boasted cf having the finest
hams that mousy and taste could
produce, some of them being kept
for years before being eaten That
ilmy cure a fine ham goes without
saying, for except for a painful
ignorance of the virtues of rice
and how to coon it, the Virginians
are a highly civilized people.
There are certainly more ways
than one to cure a ham, although
I have not been attracted by the
German method of boring into
bone and putting in saltpetre, nor
by the Holland custom of curing
hams in the ashes, nor by the
packing house way of evaporating
them.

Th n se things have their use
and the packing house would
hardly be able to pursue the meth
od in vogue among South Caro
lina’s most highly educated farm
ers- Too much time is required
for this.
My father, Hon,. James H. Rice,
at ninety-six, lias given me the
following receipt which is the re¬
suit of his 40 years' experience in
curing fins hams, There are
modifications, of course, and
other good methods, which
ought to be published also for the
information of the public, Such
information would do vast good.
1 might take an aside just long
enough to say that the bog a lone
possesses a ham—true, one speaks
of venison hams, but this is a fig¬
ure of speech, mere poetic license.
Th« razor-back has only a hind
leg, not a ham. Of all hams the
Berkshire leads in this couptry.
Other strains find favor in Ireland
England, Germany and France.

Then wrap in close wrapping

Ilus ham reaches perfection
after it is three years old, al¬
though it makes a very fine ham
at one year.
It is hoped that this informa¬

country ham all over the State;
and it is also hoped that others
may send in their own- receipts
for curing hams to add value to a
rich subject.

Toothsome Southern Cookery.
Mark Twain possessed some in.
valuable advantages in youth.
, One of these w r as the opportunity
to taste old-fashioned Southern
cooking. The memory of it is im¬
perishable. And now the 2 ray,
though evergreen, humorist stand¬
ing serene in the evening glow, and
reviewing in memory the joys of
life that are worthy of record,
breaks into a paean in praise of
Southern cookery. The savor of it
is still as incense and
to him. He is under the spell—
as how many thourands of 118
, have , been • time?—of . . the old
in our
cooks of what some cl ns
call “the old south” and he lilts.
The scene he sings is the old Miss.
home of “Uncle John,’’ and we
! took the score of the song from
the North American Review. He
j says it makes him cry to think of
the good things; so we picture
J him with eyes and mouth water
| j„g as he sings. He first gives us
this Homeric catalogue of “a cer
taib few of the dishes: > ?
Fried chicken, roast pig. wild
and tame turkey, ducks and geese,
venison just killed, squirrels, rab

cakes, hot buck-wheat cakes, hot

string beans, tomatoes, peas, Irish
potatoes, sweet potatoes, butter¬

peach cobbler—I can’t remember
the rest.
Well we can’t precisely remem¬
ber the rest—that is. all the rest
but we could, as we dared to,
name a few. But we permit Mark
to hasten on to the cooking.

only the south knows how, or

1 State Sunday School Association
The Georgia State Sunday
School Association met in Mariet¬
ta, Ga., March 12th. This asso¬
ciation embraces 8000 schools with
20,000 teachers and officers, and
200,000 pupils. There were about
200 delegates present.
The purpose is that an associa¬
t tion should be organized
I m every
county. As yet only about GO of
the 140 counties in the state have
been organized.
A notable feature of the associa¬
j tion was the talks and addresses

have never properly cooked in the
North—in fact, no one there is
able to learn the art, so far as my
experience goes. The North
thinks it knows how to make
corn tread, but this ls gross super
stition. Perhaps no bread in the
world is quite as good as Southern
corn bread, and perhaps no bread
in the world is quite as bad as the
Northern imitation of it. She
seffiom tries to fry chicken, and
this is well; the art cannot be
learned north of the line of Mason
and Dixon nor anywhere in Eu¬
rope. This is not hearsay; it is
experience that is speaking.
I his is not“ experience,”—it is
inspired truth. Old experience
has attained, as Milton sings it,
“to something like prophetic
strain.” .
The Southerner wh o can read
over this list with a dry mouth is
unworthy of his birthright.
