Tom W. Perkins of McKinney,
was here Friday In the interest of
the Texas Presa Association, of
which he is president. He is also
Mayor of McKtnney, which is said
to be the richest city in the Stpte
to its size. Mr. Perkins' main bus-
iness, however, is editor of the Mc-
Kinmy Courier-Gazette and The
Democrat-Gazette, one of the best
lally and weekly combinations In
Texas. Indeed It couldu't be other-
wise with Tom Perkins behnid I1.
He makes everything go that he
tackles. Besides his Editorship, his
Mayoralty and Presidency of the
Press Association, he is President
of the Texas Mayors' Association,
and of the Employing Job Printers'
Association of Texas, and the Mc-
Kinney 'Possum and 'Tatar Club.
There Is nothing else worth while
for him to be at or he would go af-
ter It and get It. He always does.
And should he get his good eye on
to a seat In Congress the other as-
pirants might as well get out of the
way. He is from East Texas: yes
from Wood county, same as was

and his parents lie burled in Wood

nothing too good for him in the esti-
mation of the boys down here, and
the biackland folks evidently thin*
so too, as they keep Llm in the
limelight all the time. He is al-
ready known all over Texas, and w«,
predict will be a National figure In
no time.—Mineola Monitor.

Nut Growers' Association In session

If my good friend Ed McMurray
had waited a week he could have
saved Ills hog and had some sau-
sage and lard at home. It always
conies winter in Texas sometime be-
tween Nov. 26 and March 16th. In
1904-6 our hard weather was from
Feb. 1-s. At one time during that
week the mercury stood two degrees
below zero on the gallery on south
side of my house. One winter gave
us the coldest day March 1 ( . It
may be that winter Is yet to come.
After the hog® fat the farmer does
not like to feed 50 cent corn, but
neither does he like to buy his ba-
con from the grocer at double the
price of home production. It Is
discouraging to a farmer to lose hia
nice fat meat after he has gone to
fo much trouble and expense, and
so it is to have the greenbugs eat
his wheat, but these are the happen-
ings that give variety to life and
cause us to see how dependent we
are even while being called "lords
of Creation." I do not know Just
how to manage Mr. or Mrs. Green-
bug as they are beneath my notice
without my glasses, but I claim ;
fair knowledge of the hog and his
products. As far back in the past,
as I know the Horn's have been
hog raisers and as a rule ate bacon
from their own smokehouse and
used lard produced at home. This
•eason I have butchered six or eight
hogs from medium size to 350
gross and my meat hanging In the
meat house and having received one
coat of Wright's liquid smoke looks
good enough for a king to eat. The
shoulders which we have eaten were
fine. When I found the weather too
warm for safety I run the point of
my butt her knife into the flesh side
oi the joints until it touched the
bone then followed with my fore-
finger to open the place. Into th's
I put a heaping teaspoonfttl of pul-
verized salt-petre and closed it up
as tight as I could. I siw my hog'a
feet about an Inch or an inch and a
half above the hock joint so as to be
able to Ull the end of horn with salt.
If the weather is not as cold as you
would preefr use salt-petre In salt-
ing by sprinkling It on the flesh side
when laying out to cool over niglif.
Wh«'n salting rub the skin side with
salt until It Is moist, then turn over
and rub the flesh side. Salt down
in a box from which the brltif can
leak ntfd cover well witty salt and
keep files out. Let It remain from
4 to 8 weeks according to size of
meat. Take up o tvoltY dry day and
wash salt off in warm water and
hang up until dry. When dry and
on a dry day give it one coat of liq-
uid smoke and hang back to dry for
a week. Give another coat of smoke
and while wet sprinkle It with fine
ground black pepper and hang up
until dry. then put In sacks and
when vour friends come give them
first-class eating.
