to solve. Whether or not a workable plan of accomplishing thia end has yet been evolved remains to be seen, but the object is a worthy one and the. meeting should be generally attended by the livestock producers of the state. A Good Dry Cure for Pork As butchering time Is at hand the following dry cure for pork Is reprinted as it has been found satisfactory in a number of Instances: “A good dry cure is four to five pounds of salt, one to two pounds of sugar, eix to seven ounces of black pepper, one ounce of cayenne pepper and two ounces of saltpeter for each 100 pounds of meat. Mix these well and rub the pieces to be cured thoroughly with It after the animal heat is out of the meat. Let it lay for five or six days on clean tables or boxes that afford drainage. Make another application of the curing mixture five or six days later and another after a similar period. Thin sides are cared in from 12 days to two weeks: heavier pieces should cure about two days for each, pound of weight. Brush off all excess cure and soak meat for a half hour In lukewarm water before smoking.’* Certified Seed Potatoes Available Charles Gregory, plant pathologist at the experiment station, has just issued a report showing the locating of men producing certified potato seed stock. In order that the potatoes may be certified, they must be shown to be free from disease, true to variety and must be grown from hill selected tubers. Experiments and field trials in adjoining counties last season showed that the certified seed produced very much larger yields than that secured In the ordinary way and farmers desiring high yields of potatoes will do well to get In touch with the up-to-date seed stock producers.

Obituary

Malachi Prevo Comer Malachi Prevo, son of William and Phoebe Comer, was born Aug. 30, 1841, on a farm in Barkley township, Jasper county. With the exception of a few years in his youth which were spent in Carroll county, his entire life was spent in Jasper county. Early in life he confessed his faith in Christ and for more than half a century he stood for the principles of Christianity. He was a firm believer in the virtue of family worship, having practiced It since his confession in early life. On this point he was uncompromising, rarely ever allowing anything to interfere with these rites. During the latter part of his life he was not a member of any of the local churches, but folfowed the dictates of his own conscience and worshipped where he saw fit. Barly in life he was married to Elizabeth Swaim. To this union were born James M-, Belle, Lillie and. a son who died in infancy. Belle and Lillie also preceded him to the great beyond. His first marriage was dissolved by death. Later he was married to Mary Jane Taulman, who preceded him in death a little more than a year ago. To this union were born three children. Mrs. Joseph Norman, Daniel V. and John W. Comer, all surviving him. During the civil war he enlisted in the service, but was returned from training camp on account of an attack of lung fever. In his later life he served a term as trustee of Union township and for several years was a justice of the peace for Barkley township. Fortified by the promises of Jesus which he claimed without reserve, he passed away peacefully at the county hospital Dec- 29, 1919, at the age of 78 years, 3 months and 29 days.
