V) THE OMAITA SUNDAY BEE: AUGUST 11, 1007. i, SUGAR CURED Ah'i Work That Which Oar Grandmother's Did. iQUE OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN A MrT'Ji Waman Who Makra a Li-Tin br Carina; nana an Baeoa groan Iloca of the) hoestrlns; Dreed. Miss Mary IL Smith of Maryland has for the last Ave years supported herself ani her Invalid mother by telling; hams and bacon of her own ruining and curing-. 8he owna a amall farm Just across the line from the District of Columbia and dispose of bar sugar cured meat to private cuatomert la Washington and Italtlmore. j "We live simply but comfortably and at the end of each year there la alwaya some- thing to lay by against a rainy day," M1ss Bmlth replied when asked about her suc- ' ceas. "I now have 418 hogs for my next laeaaon'a killing. Three years ago I had i'601 and perhape during the next two monthi I may be able to bring my pens up to that lumbar by purchasing hogs from my neigh bora. I "I cton't care to go much above Bfn and If my season's killing only amounts to 4.V) Z amqulte content. It la not easy to pick Mp Juj the kind of hogs suited to my trade and unless I can get Just what t want I'd rather not have them. "Inl work of thla sort It Is necessary to f Jteepvip the standard of your goods. That . to what my customers pay for. They could I sat ail the sugar cured baron of the aver i age qui Itty from the larg puckers. Thev ' jwsfor tti buy mine because It la better, or at least they fancy It Is better. "To hod thm ascustomers I must keep my bacon up to the mark. For that reason I had rati'ier fall a few killers short than end out otie round ham or a side of bacon with too nuttt'b fat. "What do Hi m an by a round ham? Tht ts one of h' greatest, differences between ' my hama anl those cured by the largo packing housma, Tlielr hama are short, almost round on Uie top and very fat. Mluo aw longer, much i flatter and not nearly so fat Tha difference lies principally In the breed of hogs. Perhaps you will laugh when you loarn that my hogs belong to what Is known In tho south as the shoe string breed. They ore the sort of hogs that twenty yenrs ago could be found In all parts of tho south running about the woods almost HJte wIM rnimMs. Tn some sections they ar known as rasorhacks. "It was about twenty years ago that I tasted my first razorback ham. As a child I had gone to south Georgia with my mother for her health. We became ac quainted with the family of an old planter near the town In which we were stopping and they Invited us to their plantation for d'nner. I remember Just how that ham looked and my first Impressions of It when it w.ik brought on .tho table. It wsa large and yet it was so fiat that I hadn't any hone of lis belug as good as the ham we had at home. "When I came to taste It my mind changed, for it was about the nicest meat I bad ever eaten. Tho old planter told my mother It was home cured, and after din ner they took ua out to see the smoke house where It was cured, and the pigs killers, they called them-which were re served for a later slaughter. "They gave mother their recipe for cur ing meat, and every yenx after that n.y father made a point of raising a few hoc and caring the meat for mother. Nino years ago when father died there was a few plecea of that home cured bacon 1n the. house, and when the time came for the division of his little property my brother wsnted It sold because a neighbor offered him a good price for it. "I objected on my mother's account and managed to keep the meat. Within a few weeks the same neighbor came to me direct with an offer. It was that second Offer that gave me the Id. 'a by which I now support myself and my mother. "At the time of father's death I was Studying with the Intention of liecomlns a school teacher. Of course with him goto there was mother to be considered. I knew that It would never do for me to leave her alone, so I decided to remain with her on the farm and try to make It keep ua. "After the division that was all we had, this farm and the few head of stock, free of debt. When Hint man came around to try for the second time to buy mother's bacon I thought out my plnn. "The first thing I did was to write to tho old planter In Ueorgia and ask about get ting a start In his breed of hops, telling him mv reasons. I received a prompt reply from his son saying his father had died and that he, uctlns? as he was sure Ms father would have him do, was sending me six pigs of the pure shoesfilng breed. He also enclosed full directions about fatten ing, slaughtering and curing them. "Prom thoss six pigs and four- grown bogs which ha shipped me the next spring all my stock has sprung. My business methods have been very simple. "For tha first two years I went person ally to flrst-rlass hotels and to private customers. I told them of my undertaking and asked for small orders. Having pleased them once the only questlonn was keep ing thalr trade and supplying the orders that came from persons who. had eaten my hams and bacon at their tables. "I have a great many orders for the com ing season that I will be unable to fill. In several instances the people have wrltrn ma again asking me to book their orders for tha autumn of 190. You see, I never deliver goods until they have hung in my smokehouse for one year and on special orders for twice that long. ir piop.-r curing bacon requires one year. "After the fresh pork has l.ung sufB clently long to be thoroughly drained I rub it down with saltpeter and salt, then pa k it away ror iwo weens. Alter this it is coated with a preparation In which sslt peter and brown sugar are the prlncii al Ingredients and hung up In the house and smoked. "The smoking of the meat Is one of tho points about which our old planter friend was most particular. I remember he cau tioned my mother against the use of pine wood light wood he called It telling her that oak and hickory chip er.i tha only proper combustible to be used. He may bava been wrong; any other wood may bo s good for the purpose, but his meat was Dr. tpn's PERFECT ' Tooth Powdsr Cleanses and beuitlfles th teeth &ad purines tha breatn, Used by peopla of refinement or over a qumter of a century. Convenient for tourists. Just the thing I wished to make, so t have always followed his directions. "In Ms letter his son wrote that Ms father sometimes addnd the hair taken from the pigs to the fire used In smoking He said that personally he didn't think the hair at all necessary as it was only burned when It was not wanted for something else and ha had never born able to detect any difference In tho taste of the meat. "After the smoking has gone on for six or eight weeks a last coat of the sugar curing Is applied, the meat la covered with a layr of flour and water and then sewed up in a thick canrvnss bag. It Is not vet parked, but again hung In the top of the smokehouse, where It remain until the time comes for ma to fill my orders. "From time to time during this hang ing period I have the smoke renewed for a day or two at a time. I am very rat ttcular to give It this additional smoking when there Is an unusually wet srell of weather and sometimes I throwta little salt peter on the Are. "While I think much depends on the curing of the meat I also am convinced that the breed and care of the porkers have much to do with the-quallty and taste of the meat. Our old friends In Georgia was convinced that meat was sweeter and more nutritious where the animal had been forced to work for Its living. "He snld that ton much" fat destroyed the taste of bai'on and for that reason fix we ks or two months was- as Ion as a hog should be penned and fattened. He didn't believe In the sweetness of the round limbed varltlos of porkers, not. only because they were prone to take on too much fat, but also liecause the thickness of the hams and shouldera rendered .It difficult to cure evenly. "Four years ago I did experiment with half a doien Iterkshlre pigs. I bought them of a neighbor and put them In a pen to fatten at the same time that I began to fatten my other stock. I fed them with the same food, slaughtered them In the same way and In every particular the cur ing was tha same. "There was no mistake about It, there was a great difference in the taste of the meat. The Berkshire hams were not to be compared to the rnxorbacks. My mother said It was a waste of food and advised me to let well enough alone. "The only addition that I have made to my father's little farm was by the pur chase of a field Infested with nut grass. Tou know that grass kills out everything In the way of crops and so far as I have ever been able to learn there Is no way of getting rid of It "The neighbor was willing to get rid of his patch of grass and It was the only ad dition I needed to make my hog pasture ell that our old planter friend considered necessary. There are several acres of It and morning, noon and night when the hogs are In that pasture they are busy on It. "I raise all tho root crops and the green food on the farm, bit I am not always suc cessful with my com. As I feed them al most entirely on corn during the time that they are being fattened, oftener than not I have been forced to supplement my own corn with the bought article. "For a woman with a small farm I know of nothing that Is less troublesome and brings a more certain profit than raising and curing bacon for private customers. Of course the woman who undertakes It must be wide awake, Industrious and of sufficient Intelligence to conduct her farm on business principles. "I,lke all other animals, to be healthy and in good conditions bogs must be kept well nourished and clean. I have been Just as careful of my porkers ss I have of my horses, and as a result I have never had one die of disease. 'To any woman thinking of undertaking such a business I will say that she has public sentiment In her favor. Careful people are only too glad to set bacon about which there Is no doubt as to cleanliness and health. The work is not hard, nnd so far as superintending the slaughtering and curing well, our grandmothers always did ft, and I have never heard that they were any less womanly than the present gen eration. That, I believe, is the modern wage earning woman's greatest opportunity. doing for market the little homely things that our grandmothera used to do for their own Immediate families. Bo' far as I'm a Judge good common sense, energy and strict Integrity are the only essentials for the success of any woman along theso lines." PR ATTI.K OK THB VOl fiSTERS, Little Naomi Say. grandma! Or:indma What Is It, dear? L.1ttle Naomi Aren't you awful glad you married grandpa and got related to me? Tapa, didn't you tell me In a story that when people get tired working all day they travel Into SlumberlandT" 'Yes. my pet." 'Then, papa, do they travel on the trains that have sleepers?" "Pa." said Willie, thoughtfully, "I think I know now what the minister mesnt when he said 'it Is more blessed to give than to receive." " "Yes?" replied his pa, "well, what did he mean?" Castor oil." "Ma." Well?" "What's the difference between' lightning and that old slipper of yours?" "I don't know. "Lightning never strikes twice In the same place." "Ruth," said tha mother of a little miss who was entertaining a couple of small playmates, "why don't you play something Instead of sitting still and looking miser able?" "Why. we are playing, mamma," replied Ruth. "We're playing we are grown-up women making a call." To Illustrate a point he was msklng in an address he was delivering the othur day, Bishop Potter told the following story: "Nut long ago I was staying with a friend In a country house up on the Hudson. On Sunday morning as I passed through tha library I found a small boy curled up tn a big chair deeply Interested In a book. 'Are you going to church. Tom?" I asked. 'No,' he replied. 'Why, I am, I said. 'Huh" he said, that's your Job." "-Harper's Weekly. The neighbor's young hopeful was very 111, and Willie and the other youngsters In the block bad been asked not to make any noise In tha street a The neighbor's door bell rang one day and sha opened It to find Willie standing bashfully on her front steps. "How Is ha today?' ha Inquired in a shy whisper. "He's better, thank you. dear, and what a thoughtful child you ara to coma and aak." Willie stood a moment on one foot and then burst forth again, "I'm orful sorry Jimmy's sick." The mother wae profoundly touched. Fha could find no further words to say, but simply kissed him.

Si NOTES OF OPERA IS EUROPE! "Salome" Has a Narrow Escape at a Hamburg Performance. NEW OPERA AT EUROPEAN HOUSE The Mbrlintrn Ring" to Be till I Rngrlleh at Covent Garden Ca ruso Xot Likely to Sing There Another Season. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the first performance of "Parsifal" at Bnyreuth passed almost without notice tn Germany, the land of anniversaries. Richard Wagner personally conducted the opera when It was performed on July 26, at Bayreuth. Joseph Joachim, the veteran violinist, who la still appearing In public at the age of 77, haa recently been very III and in view of his sdvanced age there is gra'-e apprehension that he m!ght rot recover. He Is well again, however, nnd will bo able to resume hia activity In discovering Infant phenomena. During a recent performance of Strauss' "Salome" in Hamburg the soldiers almost succeeded In carrying out the command of Herod, which concludes the play. Point ing to Ealome, he says to the soldiers, "Kill that woman!" The soldiers cover her with their shields, and they did it with auch emphasis that Mme. Kobold. who was singing the title role, was severely bruised before the reallstlo chorus r.onld be restrained. EJyth Walker, who was such a favorite In Vienna, has left the Btadt theater In Hamburg to become a memher of the com pany at the Volks theater In Vienna, which is a private opera house. 6he will remain there for three years. In .the approaching Wagner festival At Munich the role of Tristan will be sung by Heinrlch Knote, Carl Burrlan and Ernest Krauss. In the production of the "Nlbel ungen "Ring" the principal artists will be Burn Morena. Thlla Plalchlnger. Marie Wlttlch, Ella Oulbranson, Aloys Burgstal- ler, Clarence Whltehlll, Frlederich Felnhals and Zador. Felix Mottl will conduct. At CoVtat Garden. Tha Interesting announcement Is made that the cooipany at Covent Garden next January will produce the "NihelungL-n Ring" in English under the direction of Hans Rlchter. The roles will be In the main Intrusted to American and English ar tists. C'atalanl's "Lorelei" was the lat novelty of the present season, which clo-d on the last night In July. It was sung by Belma Kurt. Minne Scalar, tha American dramatlo soprano; Amadeo Russl and Mar cel Journet. Cleofonte Campanlnl con ducted, but as Blgnor Caruso did not hap pen to be in tha cast the audience was not large. Although he filla Convent Garden when ever he appears, whoever happens to be associated with him In the cast, It Is prob able that Blgnor Caruso will not be in the company next season. Ha Is under tha management of Mr. Coorled, with whom he has a personal contract for all the years. In the future tha contract of the London opera house will not be with tha tenor, but with Mr. Conrled. Tha New York Im presario haa naturally demanded for tha services of tha singer what he himself pays to him. This sum horrified Covent Garden and It was decided to try to get along next season without Blgnor Caruso.

Vienna will hear in addition to Goldmark's "A Winter's Tale" opera a new opera by Zemllnsky called "The Dream." Munich Is to hear a "Don Quixote," with music by Anton Walbrunn. Hubay has composed for Budapest a new work with a mytholo gical Bubject called "Venus:" Rublnsten's "The Demon" Is to be a novelty for Frank fort. In Italy the two music publishers Son sogno and Rlcordl divide up tha operas houses between them and besides what aperas shall be given, quite Independent of their merits. By cantrollng the opera houses with financial aid they compel the produc tion of their own operas. In Naples Leoncavallo's "Zaza" will be sung during the long season at San Carlo. At the Fenice in Venice Bancinelli's "Paolo and Fran cesca" will be sung for tha first time dur ing the carnival season, and "Marcella," by Giordano, and "Amaryllis," by Gall hard, will also be sung. Massenet's "Thais" la announced In Venice, Milan and Florence. Fella Lltvlnne Is to sing in Italy during the present season for the first time in many years. She will first be heard at Lu St ala. The deficit at La Scala last season amounted to only 5.aj0, which was the smallest loss the Institution had known for years. The question of sinking the orchestra in La Scala bas been discussed by experts and two engineers have been sent to examine the Bayreuth theater. Tbe jury which Is to decide on tha feasi bility of the scheme Includes Toscanlnl, Bolto and Puccini. The latter Is at his estate, Torre del Lego, In Tuscany, putting the finishing touches to his latest opera, "Marie Antoinette." "Tristan and Isolde" in Naples. The first performance of "Trlstun and Isolde" In Naples Is announced. In order to make the work as acceptable aa . pws sible to Neapolitans, Director Martucci, a famous Italian Wagnerlte and professor of the Conservatory of Bologna, has con sented to conduct the first performance. Naples will also hear "Salome" next winter. The Milan conservatory haa Just re ceived a legacy of JJ0.003, of which tha In terest Is to go to deserving students. The btquest came from Mme.

Where hitherto revenue officers did not only receive as sistance from Judges, sheriffs and other local officers of the law, but were hindered and handicapped In seeking Information and In apprehending violators of the law, they can today ba assured of the utmost co operation of practically every citizen In the moonshlnlng districts. Tha upshot of this situation is that moonshlnlng Is now being uprooted In Its own stronghold by the work of Its own people. Only In the state of North Carolina, where state pro hibition laws are not so stringent as else where In tha south. Is any considerable amount of moonshlnlng going on at the present time. In thus giving due praise to tha change of public sentiment in the south, there is no desire to detract (Tom that credit which should be accorded to the persistent efforts of the United States revenue officers for more than thirty years past to put down the moonshlnlng traffic. Since 1876 until 190S at least one man was killed every year, except three, In the performance of his duty. Many revenue officers of long ser vice who have faced the hostile guns of the moonshiners more than once are still in the employ of the government risking their lives In the enforcement of the law. There can be no reasonable doubt that they have done much to Inculcate respect for the revenue laws In the mountain districts of the south. Influence of a Penitentiary. Another factor which has contributed to the enforcement of the law against illicit distilling tn tha south was the building of the federal penitentiary ot Atlanta, Ga., a few years ago. Until that time luring on the federal bench In tha mountain districts were extremely loath to send the average moonBhlner to a northern prison. In most cases It could not be denied that close con finement for a man of this class In a local ity to which he was not acclimated meant certain death within a comparatively short apace of time. Since the completion of the Atlanta penitentiary this difficulty has been overcome. It Is no longer a difficult matter to get prison sentences for moonshiners. Beyond all question this has had a salu tary effect In breaking up the traffic. The quantity of whisky put upon the market by Illicit distilleries has been com paratively insignificant. With the excep tion of North Carolina nowhere haa the south more than met the local demand. At one time there was considerable moonshine whisky brought to Atlanta and points near that city from the Blue Ridge mountains of north Georgia, but more recently prac tically all that has been made In Georgia has been consumed there. Judge Neuman of the northern district of Georgia, who holds court at Rome, Columbus, Athens and Atlanta, devotes something like two and or.e-half i months a year to moonshin ers. He has disposed of an average of fifteen esses a day. For nearly twenty years he has been holding eou-t In this district and during that time he has prob ably presided at tha trial of at least one third of tha moonshiners tried In the United States, He usually Imposes sen tences of from one to four months In Jail for the first offense, six or eight months for tha second end a year In the penlten t'ary and upward for the third and fourth offence. He la now sending to their first term In jail young fellows whose grand fathers ha sent to the penitentiary twenty years ago. Boston Trsnserlpt. What lb Mnnle Bos Played.
